Bespoke Web Design

Every site starts as an empty file.

Bespoke web design for independent businesses, built line by line around what you actually do. No WordPress, no page builders, nothing you have to fight with later. You speak to the person writing the code.

Hand-coded, from nothing, every time
Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Built for phones first
One point of contact, start to finish

How a project runs

Four stages, start to live
Brand assets laid out on a dark desk: a closed laptop, a printed colour and type specimen sheet, photo prints and an open notebook of project notes

Discover.

We start with a call about the business, the customers and what the site has to do. You get a quote for the work in writing.

  • A call, then a written quote
  • A deposit secures your project and holds the dates
  • You send over logo, photos, colours, fonts and any copy
  • Nothing starts until the brief is clear

Design.

You see initial concepts for the homepage and the key pages. You tell me what works and what does not, and we work through revisions until it is right.

  • Concepts for the homepage and key pages
  • Your notes, then a round of revisions
  • Type, colour and layout settled together
  • You sign off the final design before any code

Build.

The design gets coded by hand and tested across devices, browsers and screen sizes. You review the real site on a private link before anyone else sees it.

  • Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • Tested on phones, tablets and desktops
  • SEO foundations, page titles and schema in place
  • You review it live but private, then sign off

Live.

The site goes live on your domain and you own it outright. The balance is settled at launch. From there you either keep it on Site Care or take the files to your own provider.

  • Domain, hosting and email pointed and checked
  • The balance is paid once your site goes live
  • The site is yours, with no platform subscription
  • Site Care afterwards, or a clean handover


Every build

No shortcuts.
No exceptions.

01

Hand-coded, page by page

HTML, CSS and JavaScript written by hand. No WordPress, no page builders, no theme to fight.

02

Mobile first, always

Most of your customers arrive on a phone. Every layout, button and image gets designed for that screen first.

03

SEO foundations built in

Page titles, meta descriptions, schema markup and a sitemap. Done before the site goes live, not bolted on after.

04

One point of contact

You deal directly with Gavin, the person who designed the site and wrote the code.

05

You own it outright

No platform subscription and nothing holding you in place. The site is yours once the final payment clears.

06

Site Care if you want it

Content updates, maintenance, security checks and priority support. Optional, and easy to leave.
