I design and build websites for local businesses, set up properly and secure from day one. You see a working preview of your new site before you pay anything.
Example sites for businesses that do not exist, each built the way your free preview would be. The two airport sites show how far a design can go, and are not one of the packages below.

I designed and built every site above, the airport sites included. Yours starts the same way, as a working preview you can click through before you pay anything.
Most customers find you on their phone. Tap to call and tap for directions are always one thumb away.
Your best reviews shown where they win trust, instead of hidden on another site.
A simple form that sends requests to your inbox, with the details you need to quote.
Clean structure, fast pages and local search basics set up, so people searching nearby can find you.
Lightweight pages with no bloated page builders, so the site opens quickly wherever your customer is.
New prices, new photos, holiday hours. Send me a message and I will quote a small fixed fee. No contract, no monthly bill.
96/100
Illustrative. Every site I launch is checked against this list before it goes live.
I build security software for a living, and every site I make is set up to the same standard. That protects your customers, and it protects your name.
Worried about somebody sending fake invoices in your name? That is protecting your domain's email rather than your website, so I quote it separately. The check below tells you where you stand, free, before you decide anything.
The preview is free either way. Prices are the total you pay, with no VAT added.
What should the website do for you?
£950One-off
For a trade or shop that needs somewhere smart to send people, and the phone to ring.
£1,950One-off
For a business that sells higher-value work and has to earn trust before the first call.
£3,000One-off, from
For a business that books people in or takes money up front, and wants the website doing it.
Agreed with youQuoted as a fixed price
For a site that has to do something particular, or more than a website altogether.
New text, new prices, new photos, holiday hours. Quoted before I start, and anything bigger quoted as a fixed price. No contract and no monthly fee.
A new logo, colours and fonts alongside any site. Two designs to choose from and one round of changes, so it does not turn into a project of its own.
For the bookings site, the only one with moving parts. Three months come with it, then only if you want it. Nothing else here needs a monthly plan.
When you pay. The preview costs nothing, whether or not you go ahead. If you do, half on the day you approve it and the other half on the day the site goes live. The price is the one agreed before I start, and it does not move.
Founding clients: my first three clients get 10% off in return for a short testimonial. Already have a website? I can rebuild it too.
I study your business, your reviews and your competitors, then build a working preview of your new site.
We go through it together. Your photos, your prices, your words, until it feels like yours.
I connect your domain, set up secure hosting and email protection, and put the site live.
Your site, domain and hosting are set up in your name, with a short guide. It is yours, with no monthly fees to me.
Yes. I build a working preview of your site before you pay anything. If it is not right for you, you walk away and owe nothing.
A preview usually takes a few days. Once you are happy with it and I have your photos and details, most sites go live within a week or two.
Yes. The domain and hosting are set up in your name, and the site and its content are yours from the day it goes live.
None that you have to pay. Your domain costs around £10 a year, and the hosting I set up is usually free for a site like this. If you want changes later, I quote them one at a time. A site with booking or payment in it can be looked after for £60 a month if you want that, and you can stop it whenever you like. Nothing else here needs one.
Not at all. I will help you choose one and register it in your name. A .co.uk address typically costs around £10 a year.
Because I already build secure software for a living, and most small business sites are set up badly. You get a good-looking site that is also properly protected, which is rarer than it should be.
County Durham. I work with businesses across the North East and North Yorkshire, and further afield by video call.
If you run an agency rather than the business itself, I also take white label development work, built in your name.
A sentence or two is enough to start. I will look at your business and get back to you about building a preview.
