What I build, and what it costs

Every price below is a genuine starting point, not bait. What you actually pay depends on scope, and you will know the final figure before I start any work.

Website design & build

A site that earns its keep, not just a brochure.

Most small business websites are slow, hard to update, and invisible on Google. I build fast, properly structured sites that load in under a second, read well on a phone, and give people an obvious reason to get in touch. You get the code, the hosting setup, and a walkthrough so nothing is a mystery.

What’s included

  • Design and build, from a single page upwards
  • Mobile-first, tested on real devices
  • Search-engine basics done properly
  • Fast hosting set up and handed over
  • A walkthrough so you can make simple edits yourself

Starting from

£250

for a single-page site — multi-page builds are priced above this

Best for

Small businesses with no site at all, or one that has quietly stopped working.

Web apps & custom software

The tool your business actually needs, not the one you settled for.

When a spreadsheet has grown into a monster, or an off-the-shelf system nearly fits but not quite, custom software pays for itself. I build focused internal tools, booking systems, customer portals and integrations that connect the software you already run. Small, sharp first version, then extend it once you have used it in anger.

What’s included

  • A working first version you can put in front of real users
  • Secure logins and role-based access
  • Integration with tools you already use
  • Documentation written for humans
  • Ongoing changes as your process evolves

Starting from

£1,500

for a focused first version

Best for

Businesses running a critical process on spreadsheets, paper, or sheer memory.

E-commerce

Selling online without the monthly bill for features you never use.

A shop that is quick to load and quick to check out sells more than a pretty one that fights the customer. I set up online stores on Shopify or a custom Stripe build, get payments and delivery configured properly, and make sure the buying journey works on a phone in a shop doorway with one bar of signal.

What’s included

  • Store setup with your products loaded
  • Payments and delivery configured and tested
  • Checkout tuned for phones
  • Stock and order handling that suits how you work
  • Training so you can run it day to day

Starting from

£900

for a starter store

Best for

Businesses selling in person who want a second income stream online.

Support & hosting

Someone who picks up when the site goes down.

Websites rot if nobody tends them. Updates lapse, backups silently stop, forms break and nobody notices for a month. A support plan means hosting, updates, backups and monitoring are handled, and when something breaks you message one person who already knows your setup. No ticket queue, no account manager.

What’s included

  • Fast, monitored hosting
  • Security updates and backups
  • Uptime monitoring with alerts
  • A monthly allowance for small changes
  • Direct contact with me, not a helpdesk

Starting from

£40/mo

on a rolling monthly basis, no long tie-in

Best for

Any business whose website matters but who has nobody to look after it.
