Independent web design studio, UK-wide
We build websites that make the phone ring — for the plumber down your street and the brand going national. Sharp design and honest prices, from one studio start to finish.
What we believe
We make websites that look sharp, load fast and actually bring in the work. No jargon, no lock-in, no agency mark-up — just design that pulls its weight.

What we do
A fast, striking site that shows up on Google when people search for what you do — built around your services, your area and the work you want more of.
Turn visitors into jobs. Structured forms and booking flows that capture what the job is, where it is and when it's needed — landing in your inbox ready to quote.
Look like the outfit you are. A tidy identity and dedicated hiring pages that sell your business — to customers and to the good people you want to hire.
Built-in tools
Need more than pages? We build the working tools into your site — booking, payments, job tracking and more. Every system is coded from scratch and shaped around how you actually run things, so nothing's bolted on or borrowed.
Live calendars, availability rules, deposits and automatic confirmations — customers book the slot, you keep the diary tidy.
A private dashboard that follows every enquiry from first contact to done — status, notes and next actions in one place.
Take deposits, one-off payments or subscriptions securely through Stripe — the money lands straight in your account, no middleman.
Generate, send and track quotes and invoices as branded PDFs — chase-ups handled automatically so nothing slips.
Give clients a secure login to view bookings, documents, order history or progress — fewer back-and-forth phone calls.
Automatic email and SMS reminders, follow-ups and internal alerts that cut no-shows and save you the admin.
Built fresh, every time. No off-the-shelf plugins, so your system fits your business and no one else's. Two honest limits: payments always run through Stripe's secure checkout, and we don't build full accounting software, though we'll happily connect to the tools you already use.
The plan
A call to start — what you do, who you want to reach, what a good job looks like.
You see the design before anything is built. We adjust it together until it's right.
Built fast, mobile-first, and tested on the phones your customers actually use.
Live, indexed on Google, handed over with a walkthrough — plus 30 days of free tweaks.
Pricing
Every project is quoted up front and delivered at the agreed price — set so even a one-person operation can afford to look brilliant. The 30% off is a launch offer while the studio is new and building its portfolio, so the prices below are what you actually pay today. Prefer to spread the cost?

FAQ
Luxsite sites go live in about two weeks; High Street in around four. I only take on a couple of projects at a time, so your job isn't sat in a queue. You'll get a launch date up front and I'll hold to it.
Enough to do this properly — and I won't inflate it. The short version:
Phonics Hero · 2025
QA and SEO testing across live web platforms, training non-technical staff and writing plain-English user guides.
Access Creative College, Norwich · 2023–25
Two years of formal training: modern web frameworks (Next.js, React, Python), team-based development and working directly with clients.
Ongoing
Nexbooks.co.uk, a booking and management tool for salons, plus a data tool that pulls useful numbers out of business websites. Built end to end, by me. And, of course, the site you are on now.
Yes — completely. The domain is registered in your name, the site is yours, and if you ever want to move it elsewhere I'll hand everything over without a fuss. No lock-in, no ransom.
Less than you'd think: an hour for the first chat, some photos of your work, your team or your premises (phone photos are fine — I'll make them look good), and quick feedback at the design stage. I write the copy with you, so no homework.
Every care plan includes fast UK hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups and security updates. If you'd rather host it yourself, that's fine too — it's your site.
On the On Call and Priority plans, just text or email me and it's done — within 48 hours or same-day. Not on a plan? I do one-off changes at a fixed hourly rate, quoted before I start.
