Your vision, our code
Because you will be talking to the person building the thing. Directly, from the first email to the update you request eighteen months from now.
Core values
A beautiful site that does not convert is an expensive ornament. Every layout decision is made against what the page is actually for — get the enquiry, take the donation, sell the cake — and the aesthetics are built on top of that, not instead of it.
Nobody waits. Hand-written code, responsive images, no framework loaded for the sake of it. The result is sub-second loads and Core Web Vitals that hold up on a phone with two bars of signal, which is where most of your traffic actually is.
Fixed quotes on builds, and pay-as-you-go on everything after — £13 an hour or £100 a day. No inflated retainer arriving every month for work nobody requested. A partner in your growth, not a line item you keep meaning to cancel.
We build on tooling that will still be supported in three years, with structure that can take new sections, new logic and a seasonal redesign without a rebuild. Your launch is the baseline, not the ceiling.
How we work
01 — Discover
We listen first. Your ideas, your brand, your customers, your competition. No assumptions and no template pitched at you before we know what you need — just a proper conversation, and a fixed written quote at the end of it.
02 — Design
You see real designs of your actual pages while we handle the heavy lifting. Change anything at this stage and it costs nothing but a conversation, which is precisely why it happens before the build and not during it.
03 — Build
Next.js, React and TypeScript where the project needs to scale; hand-written HTML and CSS where it should stay light; WordPress if that genuinely fits you best. The right tool for the job, not the trendiest one on the shelf.
04 — Launch
Technical SEO, structured data, accessibility pass, real-device testing and a performance audit before anything goes public. We do not push it live until it is actually ready — and we stay on call through the first weeks.
05 — Grow
Ideas do not stick to office hours. Updates, new features and fixes are handled pay as you go at £13 an hour, so the site keeps moving with the business instead of ageing quietly in the background.
Scale, upgradability, framework updates, seasonal theme changes — the lot. Sites are structured so a new section, a new integration or a full visual refresh can be dropped in without unpicking the foundations. Your launch is the baseline of an ongoing relationship, not the end of a transaction.
The best builds come from clients who think out loud. We will tell you honestly when something will not work and why, suggest the version that will, and shape the rest into something you are proud to send people to. Your passion becomes ours — that is how a site ends up actually feeling like you.
Fair questions
You talk to the person who designs and writes the code, every time. No account manager relaying questions, no junior inheriting the project after the pitch, and no agency overhead priced into your quote. The trade-off is honest: a one-person studio takes on fewer projects at once, so booking early matters.
That is most of our work. Wix, Squarespace, WordPress and third-party app builders all get migrated regularly — we keep what performs, rebuild what does not, and preserve your existing URLs and search rankings with proper redirects.
Yes, where it fits. If your team needs to publish constantly and already knows WordPress, fighting that is not helpful. For most brochure sites and anything with custom logic, a hand-built or Next.js site is faster, cheaper to run and far more secure.
As involved as you want. The minimum is content, a brand steer and feedback at the design stage. Clients who want weekly calls get weekly calls; clients who want to hand it over and see it at launch get that too.
Deliberately few. A one-person studio that overloads itself starts missing deadlines, and the whole argument for working directly with the developer falls apart. In practice that means availability is genuinely limited and start dates are booked in advance — so if you have a date in mind, it is worth getting in touch earlier rather than later.
Yes, and it usually makes things faster. Send whatever exists — logo files, colours, fonts, tone-of-voice notes, an existing style guide — and the design stage starts from your brand rather than from scratch. If you have a designer you already work with, we are happy to build to their Figma files instead of producing our own.
Get in touch and it gets looked at. Genuine build faults are fixed at no charge. Anything else — new requirements, third-party outages, content changes — is billed pay as you go at £13 an hour with no retainer.
