What I Build
Each site is built from scratch with Next.js, Tailwind, and MCP — an open agent protocol — then reviewed by an AI-assisted QA pipeline that catches layout issues and broken links before you ever see them. No templates, no page builders. These are rough starting points — the final price depends on what you need.
Simple Site
Small business, professional web presence
Up to 5 pages: Home, About, Services, Contact, Gallery. Mobile-first, contact form, basic SEO. Perfect for tradespeople, shops, B&Bs.
- Mobile-responsive (looks good on phones)
- Contact form that emails you
- Google Maps on contact page
- Basic SEO (meta tags, sitemap)
- I host it — you own the domain
Business Site
Everything above, plus a blog/CMS
The Simple Site with a CMS so you can update pages, add news, or manage a gallery yourself. No coding needed.
- Content management dashboard
- Blog or news section
- Photo gallery with lightbox
- Analytics (see who's visiting)

Online Shop
Sell products directly from your site
Product pages, a shopping basket, and Stripe checkout. For farm shops, local makers, or anyone who wants to take orders online. I'll be upfront about whether this is the right fit.
- Product catalogue with categories
- Shopping cart
- Stripe card payments
- Order confirmation emails
- Mobile-optimised checkout
Custom Web App
Something that doesn't fit the above
Appointments, calendar sync, booking form, automated reminders. For holiday lets, charters, mobile services, and hospitality.

- User accounts & login
- API integrations if needed

Who I Am
I'm a web developer based in Swanage, Dorset. I build websites for small businesses — the kind that don't need a big agency, just someone local who knows what they're doing and shows up.
I work with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. Every site I build is hand-coded — no page builders, no bloated templates. The result is a fast, clean site that looks good on any screen.
You own your domain name. I handle the technical side: hosting, SSL certificates, keeping things running. If something breaks, I fix it.
How I Work
I'd rather lose a project than land one on false promises.
Your Domain, Your Site
You buy the domain name (about £10 a year from any provider). I build the site and host it for you on a cloud service — fast, secure, and typically £5–£15 a month depending on what you need. No lock-in. If you ever want to move, the domain is yours and the code goes with you.
How It Works
A simple, transparent process. No endless meetings — just clear milestones and honest timelines.
Discovery
We learn about your business, goals, and audience. No assumptions — just questions and listening.
Design
Wireframes and mockups that look great on every screen. We iterate until it feels right.
Build
Clean, performant code. No bloated page builders — just modern frameworks that ship fast.
Launch & Support
Deployed, tested, live. We provide hosting setup, handover docs, and ongoing support if needed.
