Two ways to get your site

Do you want to edit the website yourself?

That one answer decides the route. Both are custom designed, never a template.

No, I'd rather it was done for me

Pay monthly, built on Astro

A custom designed site, hosted and looked after by me, with changes made for you. The same quality build on every plan: the kind of site and how much SEO you want set the price.

Brand identity

Branding, handled inside the build

Logo, colours, fonts and the files you need for print and social, designed alongside the site so the two look like they belong together.

New businesses

Identity created alongside the site, scoped into one fixed quote.

Established brands

I design to your existing guidelines, included as standard.

Refreshes

Logo and site updated together as one project, so nothing looks bolted on.

Online stores

Ecommerce, built to actually sell

Selling online is a build decision, not a plugin bolted onto a brochure site. Checkout, payments, tax, shipping and stock run on infrastructure built for it, not stitched-together add-ons. What I design is everything the customer sees: product pages, a smooth checkout, and a catalogue that stays easy to manage.

Product pages that sell

Built around your actual products, not a generic template with your images dropped in.

Checkout without friction

Card, wallet and buy-now-pay-later options, and a checkout with nothing unnecessary standing in the way.

Orders you can see

On a monthly plan, your report compares bookings or orders taken through the site with last month.

SEO

Set up to be found on Google, from day one

Every site I build is fast, clearly structured and set up so Google understands your business, at no extra cost. The monthly plans go further, with Standard SEO kept up every month, or Performance SEO for busier markets, which adds the work that gets you mentioned in AI answers too; on a site bought outright, Advanced SEO is a one-off from £300. See SEO, AEO & GEO for what each level includes.

Every plan, price and term is on the pricing page.

Building for a particular town or trade? Start with every Kent town I cover, from Gillingham to Maidstone, or websites built around your trade, such as roofers and solicitors. The week-by-week is on how I work.

Accessible web design

Accessibility, built in from the start

Some customers use a keyboard, a screen reader or a magnified display, and a site built only for a mouse turns them away. Contrast, keyboard use and touch targets are part of the design every site starts from, and each site is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA before it goes live. A site that is easy for everyone to use is easier for Google to read too.

See it in practice: this site's own accessibility statement covers exactly what I test and what I found.

The decision

Template or custom build?

Both are legitimate. A template launches in days if you build it yourself; a custom build can be live in as little as two weeks, from £800 outright or £100 a month on a 12-month plan. Which is right depends on how competitive your market is.

Edit it yourself

Your own editor, on a hand-built site

Buy outright and you get an editor for the parts of the site that change: your words, photos and blog posts. It is called Pages CMS. You are invited by email and sign in with your email address, with no other account to set up.

Change it in a form, not in code

Open the page or post, change the words or swap a photo, and press save. The site updates itself in about a minute.

Every version kept

Each save is kept, so any change can be undone. The editor changes your content, and the design stays as I built it.

Shown how at handover

A walkthrough when the site goes live, in person if you are local. A new page type or feature is quoted before I start.

Questions

Web design questions I get asked most

More on the full FAQs page.

How many revisions do I get?+

Unlimited during the design phase. I keep iterating until you are happy with the direction before anything is built out across the site.

Will it work properly on mobile?+

Yes, and it is tested on desktop, tablet and mobile before launch, whichever route you choose.

Do I edit the site myself?+

That is the deciding question. If you want to, a site bought outright comes with a simple editor for your words, photos and blog posts. If you would rather it was done for you, a monthly plan includes up to 1 hour (Standard) or 2 hours (Performance) of small changes a month, done within 2 working days.

Is branding included?+

Designing to your existing brand is always included. Creating or refreshing a logo and identity is scoped into the fixed quote at the start, never added as a surprise later.

Can you take over an existing Wix site?+

Yes. I take ownership and redesign, update or manage it ongoing. If yours was left unfinished by someone else, Wix Rescue is built for exactly that.

Do you build accessible websites?+

On every project. I aim for WCAG 2.1 AA as standard, covering contrast, keyboard operation and screen reader support, tested before launch rather than sold as an extra.

Can you build an online store?+

Yes. A bookings or ecommerce site is from £150 a month on a monthly plan (12-month minimum), or from £1,000 bought outright plus £25 a month hosting. Card fees are paid by you, to the payment provider.

What does "Wix Legend Partner" mean?+

It is the top of the four levels in Wix's own partner programme (Pioneer, Creator, Icon and Legend). Partners reach it by launching client sites on paid Wix plans and holding Wix certifications, so it reflects a track record of delivered work.

Can you build custom functionality?+

Yes. Every site is written in code, so custom forms, logic and integrations can be built into it, quoted with the build. For a genuinely separate application, a client portal, a booking system with unusual rules, custom software, see custom solutions instead.

Why Astro rather than Wix or WordPress?+

Because a site written in code has no page builder or plugins weighing it down and nothing to keep updating, so it loads fast on a phone and has very little to go wrong. Wix and WordPress are both good platforms, and I still work on existing Wix sites. For a new site, I build in Astro.

How do I edit a site I bought outright?+

In Pages CMS, a simple online editor. You are invited by email and sign in with your email address, with no other account to set up, then change your words, photos and blog posts in a form and press save. The site updates itself in about a minute, every earlier version is kept, and I show you how at handover.

Sound like you?

Let's work out
your price.

A quick call is enough to tell you which route fits, a monthly plan or a site bought outright, and what it costs, with no obligation to go ahead and no hard sell. If I am not the right fit I will say so.
