// the whole service

I build it. I host it.
I keep it running.

One service, done properly: design, build, hosting, domains, edits — the lot. You hand me a vague idea (and maybe a logo); I hand you back a website that works, then quietly keep it working. No agencies, no jargon, no homework.

Everything a website needs,
in one boring monthly bill.

01

Custom design

No templates. No drag-and-drop mush. Your site gets designed from scratch to look like your business — not like every other site built on the same $9 theme.

02

Managed hosting

Fast servers, daily backups, a global CDN. I run the boring infrastructure so you never have to learn what a "CDN" is, let alone configure one.

03

Domain & SSL

Registration, DNS, renewals, the little padlock in the address bar — all handled. One less password for you to lose.

04

Ongoing edits

New hours? New photos? A fresh paragraph because you finally rewrote your "About"? Email me. It gets done — usually the same week.

05

Speed & accessibility

Built fast and accessible from line one — loads quick, works on phones, readable by everyone. Google likes that. Humans like it more.

06

One studio, start to finish

No account managers, no handoffs, no call-centre queue. One studio designs, builds, hosts, and looks after your site — with a real human (me) behind all of it.

07

Brand kit[optional]

No logo yet? I can sort you out a basic kit — a logo mark, colours, and fonts — before we build, so the whole thing feels like one piece.

From "I should really get
a website" to live.

01

We talk

A short, no-pressure chat about your business and what the site actually needs to do. No questionnaires, no slide decks.

02

I draft

A first design and copy direction within a few days. You get one round of "actually, can we…" baked in, no charge.

03

Build & launch

I build it for real, test it on everything, and move your domain over carefully. Most sites go live in about a week.

04

I look after it

It’s live, and I keep it that way — edits, backups, updates, and the occasional gremlin. You get on with your actual job.

Three plans. No surprises.

$60Base / mo
$120Standard / mo
$200Pro / mo

No setup fee. No contract. Cancel whenever your business changes shape.

The bit where I answer
the obvious stuff.

Do I have to sign a contract?

Nope. Month to month, no setup fee, cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice. Most people stick around anyway — turns out "it just works" is a compelling retention strategy.

I already have a website. Can you take it over?

Yes, and migration is free when you sign up. I move your domain and content across, and your old site stays up until the new one is ready to flip. No scary downtime.

What actually counts as a "content change"?

Anything short of a brand-new page — copy tweaks, new hours, swapped photos, a small new section. Bigger stuff gets quoted fairly or rolled into a higher tier. Nothing sneaky, ever.

Do you use WordPress / Wix / Squarespace?

No page builders and no plugin soup. I hand-build sites so they stay fast, secure, and don’t fall over because a plugin decided to update itself at 3 a.m.

What happens on Fridays?

Fridays are for building, tinkering, and keeping the studio sharp. Official hours are Mon–Thu, 9–5 — but send something on a Friday and you’ll probably still hear back. The bear has very little self-control.

Want one of these websites?

Tell me about your business and what you need. You’ll hear back within two business days — usually sooner, unless it’s a Friday.
