What you get

A site that actually sells.

Three things, in every project. No upsells, no agency padding, no surprises on the invoice.

01 — Design

Designed to look like you.

Hand-drawn layouts built around your brand, your treatments, and your clientele. Never a template.

02 — Build

Built for the phone first.

Seventy per cent of your enquiries arrive on mobile. I design and code there first, then scale up to desktop.

03 — Found

Found by the right people.

Local SEO, structured data and Core Web Vitals baked into the code. So the right clients find you, fast.

A sample

This is what your homepage could feel like.

Editorial typography. A clear call to action. Booking integration. The sort of site that makes a prospect think "oh, this brand has it together."

  • Custom artwork & type — designed by hand
  • Booking system that takes a deposit
  • Page weight under 100KB · 95+ Lighthouse
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.
