Editable by the owner
Change a word, swap a photo, update a price — publish in about a minute, on a phone, without emailing anyone.
How the handover worksWebsites your staff can update. And you keep them.
I design and build sites for small businesses — fast on mobile, obvious to navigate, and editable by whoever owns the content. No bloated themes, no mystery markup.
What most website owners want.
95+
PageSpeed at launch
Almost no JavaScript and nothing to hydrate. Measured with Lighthouse 13.5.0 across all six sites I run — every one reads 95 or better on mobile.

How ownership works
98 PageSpeed Ember & Salt
A phone-first site with a menu the owner updates herself in minutes. No developer in the loop, ever.
99 PageSpeed BrightSmile Dental
Built around the one question a new patient has: can I book today? Fees in plain words, not behind a phone call.
97 PageSpeed Hearth & Home
A portfolio that gives each room the full width of the screen.
97 PageSpeed Summit Roofing & Air
One crew for the roof and the air inside it. A three-field quote form instead of five service pages.
97 PageSpeed Aldridge & Kane
Where the results are the design — settled figures above the fold, and a case review that asks for less than anyone expects.
98 PageSpeed Ironhaus
A weekly timetable that shows the actual week, and a photograph behind every discipline instead of a stock banner.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Most sites I get asked to look at have at least one of these on them. None of them are your fault — they are just what happens when nobody ends up owning the thing.
-
It looks fine on my laptop.
Your patients are on a mid-range phone, on mobile data, in a car park. Only one of those two experiences is currently paying you.
-
I’m afraid to break something.
Reasonable. So it becomes an email, then a queue, and eventually the opening hours on your site are wrong because nobody dared touch them. Wrong hours cost you more than an ugly page ever would.
-
The last person who built it has gone.
You own a website you cannot edit, built by someone who no longer answers. That is the actual risk, and it is why I hand over the editing screen rather than just the files.
-
We asked for a new page once.
It never happened, because it went into somebody’s backlog behind other work. If your content depends on a calendar, it stays wrong.
What things cost.
Three ways to work together, with a starting price on each. Every project is quoted as a fixed price in writing once the scope is confirmed — and if the scope changes, you approve the new number before anything happens.
Website design & build
from $700New site or replacing one you have grown tired of — same job. Up to five pages, with an editing setup so you can change text, photos and prices yourself.
Performance & SEO
from $250Targeted fixes on an existing site: images, speed, metadata, mobile usability and technical SEO — scoped before I quote it.
Small fixes & updates
from $75One clearly defined job — a layout fix, a section update, a responsive problem — done properly, with a short written note of what changed.
Also available — website care, from $40/month and hosting & maintenance, from $15/month.
How working together goes
You the first chat
We start with a conversation — your business, your customers, your goals. I write the plan down so we both agree on it.
Me weeks one to three
Then I build. You see real pages as they’re built — nothing gets lost in translation, because I designed it and I built it.
You handover day
The site goes live, and you get this screen — plus a short walkthrough on the day. Then it’s yours.
i’ll walk you through this on day one
Every site I build comes with this screen. No code, no tickets, no waiting — tap a field, type, hit publish, and the live site updates straight away. It takes about a minute to learn. And if you’d rather just email me and I’ll make the change, that works too.
