Hand-coded web design for small businesses
We design and build every website from scratch in code, without WordPress, Squarespace or any page builder. That gives you a site that loads quickly, looks like your business rather than a template, and costs £0 upfront and £99 a month with hosting included.
What does hand-coded actually mean?
It means a person writes the code for your site, line by line, instead of dragging boxes around a page builder. Page builders are handy for the person building the site. They're less handy for your visitors, who have to download all the extra code that comes with them.
A hand-coded site only includes what your pages need. Less code means faster pages, and faster pages mean happier visitors and a better chance with Google.
Why does website speed matter?
Google uses page experience, including its Core Web Vitals speed measures, when it ranks sites. People also leave slow pages before they've seen what you do. We build to Google's Core Web Vitals targets and test every page with Lighthouse before it goes live.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. We design for the phone screen first and scale up from there, because that's where most of your customers will see it first. Every page is tested at small phone widths, tablets and desktops before launch.
Do I need to write the content?
No. None of our content is pre-written or copied from another site. We write it for your business after the discovery chat, then you check it and tell us what we got wrong. You know your business better than we do, after all.
Want a website that's actually yours?
Tell us what your business does and what you need the site to do. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
