Web design · Basingstoke & Hampshire
Fast websites,
built by hand.
I build lean, quick, hand-coded websites for local Hampshire businesses — sites that load fast, say exactly what you do, and stay looked after long after launch.
- Sub-second loads
- Fully looked after
- You own the code
Why it's different
Built by hand, looked after for good.
Every site is built by hand and backed by real ongoing care — so it loads fast, does its job, and keeps working long after launch.
Hand-coded & yours
Written by hand, line by line, then handed over — the code is genuinely yours. Nothing bolted on to hack, break or slow it down, on launch day or two years later.
Fast by default
Sub-second loads, top Lighthouse scores. Speed isn't an add-on — it's how the site is built from the first line.
Fully looked after
Hosting, backups and small updates are covered by a simple fixed monthly fee — so the site keeps running, and keeps improving, long after launch.
One person, start to finish
You talk to the person writing the code. No account managers, no hand-offs, no telephone game.
What I do
Three ways I can help.
A brand-new website
For businesses with no site, or one they're embarrassed to hand out.
A bespoke, hand-built site designed around what your business actually does. Written to rank, structured to convert, and fast on every phone. Typically live in two to three weeks.
- Bespoke design (not a template)
- Written & structured for local SEO
- Mobile-first, sub-second loads
A redesign / rescue
For a site that's slow, dated, or holding your business back.
I take what you've got, keep what works, and rebuild it lean. Same content, new speed — usually a rebuild costs less and performs better than another year of patching the old one.
- Honest audit of the current site
- Rebuilt static & fast
- Content & copy tidy-up
Ongoing care & hosting
Included with every site, so it keeps working after launch.
Hosting, small changes, updates and a real person to email when you need something changed — covered by a simple, fixed monthly fee that's part of every build.
- Fast, reliable hosting
- Content edits when you need them
- Uptime & backups
