Design & Build
I code your site from scratch in pure HTML, CSS & JS. I keep you updated throughout and you can give feedback at any point — nothing gets shipped without your sign-off.
Launch & Handover
Your site goes live on your domain. You own the code outright — no exceptions. Want to self-host? You get a full Cloudflare deployment guide. Want it handled for you? My managed hosting package covers everything.

man frequently-asked
Yes — completely. Once the project is paid for, all code belongs to you outright. No licensing fees, no lock-in. If you want to self-host, I'll provide a full step-by-step Cloudflare setup guide so you can get it live yourself with confidence. Prefer someone else to handle it? My managed hosting package covers everything for a fixed monthly fee.
It depends on the scope. A Starter site (1–3 pages) typically takes 5–7 days. A Growth build (4–7 pages) is around 2 weeks. Business-tier projects vary — I'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote before anything starts.
No — never. Every site I build is hand-coded in pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from scratch. No WordPress, no Wix, no Squarespace, no drag-and-drop builders. This means faster load times, cleaner code, better SEO, and a site that's genuinely yours.
Just a brief description of your business, what pages you need, any copy or images you want to use, and ideally a couple of sites you like the look of. I'll handle everything else. If you don't have copy or images ready, I can advise on that too.
Yes — I offer a fully managed hosting package. Your site is deployed on Cloudflare's global network and I handle everything: setup, DNS, uptime monitoring, and ongoing maintenance for a fixed monthly fee. Prefer to go it alone? If you own the code outright, I'll provide a detailed Cloudflare deployment guide so you can host it yourself at no extra cost.
Small tweaks in the first 14 days after launch are included at no extra cost. Beyond that, changes are covered by a monthly support package or quoted individually depending on the size of the work. Nothing happens without your approval first.
Yes — everything is done remotely so location isn't a barrier. I'm UK-based (GMT/BST) which makes communication straightforward with most of Europe and easy enough with further afield. Payment in GBP is preferred but alternatives can be discussed.
