Featured work
Real case studies — the problem, the approach, and what actually changed.
The Lab
Demos you can click, not screenshots
Five finished demo products — a café site, a 3D scroll story, a dashboard, a shop, and a booking system. All hand-built, all live.
Process
How I work
A simple four-step process — you always know what's happening and what it costs.
Discover
A free call about your business, customers, and goals. I listen first — the website serves the business, not the other way round.
Design
You see the design before anything is built, and we refine it together until it feels right. Fixed quote agreed before work starts.
Build
I build fast, accessible, and SEO-ready as standard — with progress links you can click, not just promises.
Launch & support
Go live with training so you can update things yourself, 30 days of free fixes, and an optional care plan after that.
What clients say
Real businesses, real results — in their own words.
Most developers talk about pixels and plugins. Mike asked how many covers we do on a Friday night and built the website around that. Bookings come in while I sleep — that’s the whole review, really.
I told him my budget expecting the usual sharp intake of breath. Instead I got a fixed quote, a site live in twelve days, and my phone hasn’t stopped since. First tradesman joke I’ve heard from a developer, too.
Our old site was costing us customers and we didn’t even know. Mike showed me exactly what was broken — with screenshots, not jargon — then fixed it. We went from invisible on Google to page one for the searches that matter.
