Websites and e-commerce
Websites are where I started. I've built hundreds of them since 2010, mostly alongside designers and creative agencies, on WordPress, Shopify and more recently Next.js with a headless CMS such as Payload or Sanity. It's still a good part of what I do, and it's often how a company first works with me before there's a system to build.
The right platform depends on the job. A brochure site for a small company is usually still best served by a well-built WordPress site, with a CMS your team already knows how to use. A larger site, or one with a system behind it, is better built on Next.js with a headless CMS: it's faster, there are no plugins to patch, and it can share its backend with a client area or booking system later on.
If you have a designer, I work with them and build the design as intended, responsive and pixel-accurate. If you don't, I can bring one in. The designers I work with I've known for more than ten years.
What you get
A lightning-fast site that works on every screen, is accessible and is built to be found by search engines and AI crawlers, with clean, documented code that another developer could maintain. A content management system so you can change text, images, menus and pages yourself, because I'm not in the business of manufacturing reasons for you to come back to me. Hosting, domains, analytics, a development site and the go-live handled. A simple brochure site can be live in two to four weeks.
Pricing
A small, custom-designed brochure website can cost as little as £1,500 plus VAT for development, with design, if you need it, usually about the same again.
A medium-sized website with more page layouts, custom forms and some interactivity is in the region of £5,000 plus VAT.
A custom-designed e-commerce or membership site is usually £8,000 to £15,000, depending on what it needs to do.
