Websites that do a job, and that you can edit.
Maybe your site is a template you can't change without logging into something you've forgotten the password to. Maybe it looks fine but can't take a booking, a quote request or a payment. Maybe it's just slow.
I design and build sites for one specific business, then hand you the keys to edit it.

What you get
- A design made for your business, not a theme with your logo dropped in.
- Content you can edit yourself: text, prices, hours, photos, new pages.
- Built for phones first, since that's where a lot of your visitors will be.
- The on-page SEO basics: page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap. Done properly, not promised as rankings.
- Fast load times on ordinary hosting. No bloated page builder underneath.
- Forms that actually reach you, with spam protection and a sensible thank-you page.
- Accessibility basics: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, real headings.
- A short "how to edit your site" walkthrough, recorded or written, your choice.
What I'll need from you
Your logo and brand files, or I'll make a simple temporary one you can replace later. The facts: what you sell, where, for how much, and when you're open. Photos, or a small budget for them. One person who can make decisions. About an hour a week for feedback while the site's being built.
What I'd build it with, and why
Usually a fast static site (React, built ahead of time) with forms handled by a little PHP on your own hosting. If you'll be editing a lot yourself, every week, WordPress can be the better call, and I'll say so. Payments go through Stripe Checkout, so card numbers never touch the code I write. Bookings go through Cal.com, Calendly or a custom quote form, depending on how you schedule.
The reason is boring on purpose: it's cheap to host, quick to load, and any decent developer can pick it up after me.

Do you need a developer at all?
Honestly, maybe not. If you need five pages, a contact form and a map, Squarespace or Wix will do that for a monthly fee, and you can set it up over a weekend.
It's worth paying someone when the site has to do real work: quotes with your own pricing logic, bookings that check against your actual schedule, a shop that talks to your inventory, or simply speed and search results you can't get out of a template.

A sample of the kind of site I build
The screen beside this text is a sample of the kind of small-business site and editor I build. The work page has three system samples if you want to see how I think about bigger builds.
