What you get

A site that brings the right traffic.

Three things, in every project. Search visibility, fast pages, and a structure built around the people you actually want to hear from.

01 — Found

Found by the right people.

On-page SEO, clean semantic HTML and structured data — so when someone searches with real intent, you're the answer, not the eighth result.

SEO for small business → 02 — Trusted

Trusted at first glance.

Bespoke design, professional typography and considered detail. The credibility cues that turn a search result into a click — and a click into an enquiry.

Bespoke web design → 03 — Fast

Ranked for the right reasons.

Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal — and a bounce signal. Hand-coded, sub-100 KB pages mean Google rewards you and visitors stay.

A Cotswolds lifestyle & visitor platform. Editorial typography, a slow-living tone, and a structure designed for the kind of guest who reads the menu before they book.

  • Hand-coded · sub-100 KB page weight
  • Custom editorial layouts — no theme, no page builder
  • Lighthouse 95+ across all four scores

Burford & Beyond — homepage hero: a vintage double-decker bus rolling through the Cotswolds countryside, with the headline 'A restaurant that rolls through the English countryside' overlaid.
The process

From first call to live in fourteen days.

Five short stages. You always know what's happening and what's coming next.

  1. Day 0

    We talk.

    Thirty minutes. I ask about your business, your clients, what's worked and what hasn't. No pitch, no pressure.

    Complimentary · 30 minutes
  2. Day 1

    A fixed quote, in writing.

    Within a working day of our call. Itemised, all-in, nothing creeps. If we're a fit, you sign.

    No surprises
  3. Days 2–6

    I design.

    You see a real, browseable draft — not a flat PDF. Two short rounds of revision and we're sharp.

    Browseable from day 3
  4. Days 7–13

    I build.

    Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JS. Booking systems wired in, analytics set, Core Web Vitals tuned.

    Hand-coded · No framework
  5. Day 14

    You launch.

    I walk you through everything. You press the button. The code is yours — host it with me or move it anywhere.

    You own everything

Who do you build websites for?
Mostly clinics, beauty studios and wellness brands across the UK. Occasionally others, if the work is interesting. The common thread is small businesses run by people who care about how their work is presented.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from first call to launch. You see a real, browseable design draft within 3 to 5 days; the build takes another 7 to 10. The timer starts when you sign off the brief and send me your content.
How much does it cost?
£400 to £900 for a one to three page site, £900 to £2,000 for a typical multi-page site with a booking integration, £2,000 to £5,000 for larger work with e-commerce or custom integrations. I send a fixed written quote within a day of our first call.
What's not included?
Branding, logos, photography and social media. I focus on websites — for everything else I can point you at people who do it well.
