Demos
Try a website before you decide on yours
Alongside client work, I build demo sites for made-up businesses: a vet's practice where you book through a chat, glamping huts that show the real weather on the hill, a sweet shop where you fill your own bag.
Have a play with them. If one of the ideas would suit your business, I can build it into your site.
A look around
One desk, one person, and a phone that still gets answered.

The approach
Three things I refuse to skimp on
Anyone can make a page look nice now. The difference is how it works, how safe it is, and how fast it loads.
USE
Effortless to use
My background is usability and navigation — designing around how real people actually find things. Clear, intuitive, frustration-free.
Where I started, and still what I care about most.

SAFE
Secure by design
Built as fast static sites — no database, no plugins to exploit, so there's almost nothing to hack. Having fixed a serious compromise myself, I build the safe way from the start.
Peace of mind, baked in from day one.

FAST
Genuinely fast
Modern build, tiny footprint, loads in a blink — better for your visitors, better for your Google ranking, and cheaper to run.
Speed isn't a nice-to-have; it's the baseline.

About
One person who knows their craft
I've been building and running websites in Macclesfield for over a decade, backed by more than twenty years in tech. My strength has always been the part that matters most — making sites that are genuinely easy to use.
I've managed real-world hosting, survived and fixed a serious server hack, and come out building the secure way. You deal with me, start to finish.
Questions
What people usually ask
Straight answers about prices, timescales and how working with me goes. If your question isn't here, give me a ring on 07533 964921.
How much does a website cost?
A one-page site starts from £300, a small business site from £500 and a full multi-page site from £700. A redesign or rescue of an existing site starts from £250. Every job gets one clear price agreed up front, so there's no hourly meter running and no surprise bill at the end.
How long does it take to build a website?
As a rough guide, a one-page site takes about a week, a small site two to three weeks and a full multi-page site three to five weeks. You'll get a timescale for your own site along with the price, before any work starts.
Can I pay for my website monthly?
Yes. If you'd rather not pay for a new site all at once, I also do pay-monthly websites, where the design and build, hosting and maintenance are all covered by one monthly payment. Ask me and I'll tell you what it would cost for your site.
Do you only work with businesses in Macclesfield?
I'm based in Macclesfield and most of my clients are around Cheshire, but I'm happy to work with businesses further afield over a video call.
Who will I actually be dealing with?
Me, from the first chat to launch day and afterwards. There's no account manager or helpdesk in between, so when something needs changing you message or call the person who built your site.
