Small, clear and quick.

Stonehouse is a smaller place where a lot of people know each other, and plenty of businesses run from home or a single unit. Most work comes through recommendations, but people still check you out online before they pick up the phone.

You don't need a huge website. You need a few clear pages that load quickly, show what you do and make it easy to get in touch. I'm about 10 minutes away in Blackwood, and that's exactly what I build.

Need something specific? Website redesigns, speed fixes, local SEO or hosting and support.

One person, everything covered.

I design, build and look after your website myself, so nothing falls between the cracks. Here's what's covered:

  • Mobile-first, fast on any device

  • Local SEO, so nearby customers find you first

  • Booking, payments, CRM and email, all connected

  • Hosting and security handled for you

  • Updates and ongoing support

  • Redesigns and rebuilds of existing sites

  • Click-to-call and enquiry forms that convert

  • Tracking set up, so you see what's working

I've been building websites for over 14 years. Here's how it started.

Back in 2012, I was a college student with a text editor and no real idea what I was doing. I typed a few lines of code, hit refresh, and something I'd made appeared on the screen. I remember thinking: wait, I can just do that? I've been at it ever since.

Most of what I know came the slow way: building things, watching them break, and working out why. Early on, I launched a site that fell apart on my client's customers' phones, and I've tested everything on real phones ever since.

These days the projects are a wee bit bigger. I've moved one of the world's oldest golf clubs onto a modern platform, brought over a dozen sites together under one brand for a machinery company, and built apps that dozens of staff rely on every morning.

What that means for you is simple: I've already fixed most of the things that can go wrong on a project for someone else. You won't be paying for me to figure it out as I go.

Along the way, I learned that a website has one job: getting the right person to get in touch. Speed decides that more than anything, so every site I build aims for a 100 on Google's PageSpeed score. Most small business sites are nowhere near it.

So if you're curious where yours sits, send it over. I'll run it through, tell you the score, and give you the three things I'd fix first. No charge, no hard sell.

From first chat to launch, in 14 days.

Talking

through your business, your customers and what the site needs to do

Planning

a clear plan and design for you to react to, before anything is built

Building

and testing on real phones and browsers, with tracking and search set up

Launching

then looking after hosting, security, updates and support

A typical small business site goes live in 14 days. Bigger builds take longer, and you'll get a realistic timeline before we start.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer here? Send me a message and I'll get back to you.

I run my business from home. Will my address be on the website?

Only if you want it to be. Lots of home-based businesses just show the towns they cover, and Google Business Profile lets you hide your address too.

Is a small website really worth it?

If people are looking you up after a recommendation, yes. A few clear, fast pages can be the difference between someone getting in touch and moving on to the next name.

How far away are you?

About 10 minutes, in Blackwood.

How long does a project take?

A straightforward small business website can be live in around 14 days. Bigger sites with extra features take longer, and I'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.

What if I don't like the website?

I'll keep revising until you love it, or give you your money back.

How is this different from DIY platforms?

DIY means Do It Yourself. This is Done FOR You. I build around what actually gets enquiries, not pretty templates that don't convert.

What happens after launch?

I handle hosting, updates, security and maintenance so you can focus on your business. Need changes later? Just ask.

What if I already have a website?

No problem. I can redesign, rebuild or refresh what you've got, and I'll tell you honestly which makes sense for your business.
