Websites engineered to be fast and found, not just pretty.
Template platforms rent you a slow, generic site for as long as you keep paying. I design and build yours properly, engineered to load fast and rank on Google, then hand you the keys. You own it outright, with no monthly rent to cancel.
How does your site score?
I run the same Lighthouse audit Google uses and show you exactly where your site stands, next to how I build. See your score first, no email needed.

A site that looks fine on day one can still cost you customers
Template builders get you live quickly, and that is their appeal. The trade-off shows up later. You pay a platform fee every month for as long as the site exists, the underlying code is generic and heavy, and that weight slows the site down on the phones most of your visitors use.
Slow sites lose people before the page even finishes loading, and Google quietly ranks them lower. So the template that felt like a bargain ends up costing you visitors, search position, and a monthly bill you can never switch off. I take the opposite approach: design it around your brand, engineer it to be fast and findable, then hand it to you to own.
You rent it, forever
A monthly fee for as long as the site exists. Stop paying and the site goes with it. The code is theirs, not yours.
You own it outright
The code and content are yours to keep. Host it anywhere, change it with any developer, and never pay rent to keep it online.
Built to work, not just to look the part
Four things every site I build comes with as standard.
Fast by default
Built to pass Core Web Vitals from the first commit, not patched on afterwards. A quick site keeps visitors from bouncing, and Google rewards speed in its rankings.
Found on Google
Search fundamentals, structured data, and clean accessible markup are part of the build, never an upsell. Your site shows up when people search for what you do.
Yours to keep
You own the code and the content outright. No per-seat fees, and no platform holding your site behind a monthly subscription you can never stop paying.
Built around your brand
A design shaped around your brand and your customers, not a theme thousands of other businesses are already using with their logo dropped in.
Run the numbers yourself
Anyone can call their sites fast. Here is proof you can check. Lumina Jobs is one of my builds, so run it through Google PageSpeed Insights and see the desktop scores for yourself.
Sites and platforms I have built
Live work you can open right now. Each one designed, engineered, and shipped by me.
How it starts
Start with a conversation. You decide after each step whether the next one is worth it.
A free 30-minute call
Free
You tell me what's slowing the business down. I tell you what I'd do about it, and whether it needs building at all. It ends when the 30 minutes do.
A discovery day
£495, credited back in full if you go ahead
A day working through your business with me. You get a written plan: what to build, what not to, and a fixed quote for it. If you go ahead, the £495 comes off the build.
The build, on a fixed quote
From £1,485, at £495 a day
The price is fixed before I write a line of code. You see the work as it takes shape, and you own everything I write. If paying in one go is hard on cashflow, I can spread the cost over monthly payments.
And afterwards I'm still here. Most clients keep my number.
Who it's for
Common questions
How much does a website cost?
A fixed quote after a free call, sized to the pages and features you actually need. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
How long does it take?
Most small-business sites run 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the size of the site and how quickly the content comes together.
Do I own the finished site?
Yes. The code and content are yours. You can host it anywhere and bring in any developer to change it later. Nothing is locked to me.
What's wrong with Wix or Squarespace?
Nothing, if a template fits and you are happy renting the platform. I build for businesses that want a faster, custom site they own outright and that ranks better over time.
Can you handle SEO and content too?
Search fundamentals are built into every site. I can also help with the copy and ongoing content if you want a hand with it.
Do you maintain it after launch?
If you want me to, yes. I can stay on for updates and changes, or hand over cleanly so your own team runs it. There is no lock-in either way.
