Web design in Leyland, Lancashire
I build your website first.
No deposit, no discovery call, no mock-up in a slide deck. You get a finished, working website for your business — ready to look at on your phone before you spend a penny.
One studio. No template in sight.
Every build starts from the business's own material — their branding, their photos, their customers. Two real examples, built for two completely different businesses.
See your website before we've even spoken.
Pick your trade, type your business name, and a real website builds itself in front of you. Change the colours and the style until it feels like yours — then send it over.
Choose your trade
Barber, tanning salon, café, joiner, groomer, gym — over twenty trades, each written with the words and services that trade actually uses.
Make it look like you
Ten colour schemes and six styles, from stripped-back minimal to loud and bold. Add a photo of your shop and watch it drop straight in.
Send it to me
Happy with the direction? One tap sends it over with everything you picked, and I'll build the real thing around it.
You see it before you pay.
The full process — from research to hand-off — is on the process page. The short version:
I research your business
Your services, your photos, your reviews, your actual customers — so the site is grounded in what's real, not generic filler.
I build the full site
A complete, working website — not a wireframe or a Canva mock-up. Something you can genuinely click through on your phone.
You decide
If it's not right for your business, there's no obligation. If it is, it's ready to go live under your own domain.
£0
Up front. You see the finished site before any money changes hands.
1–2 wks
From first conversation to a finished site you can click through.
100%
Hand-written HTML and CSS. No WordPress, no Wix, no page builder.
Yours
Handed over on your own domain. No monthly rental to stay online.
What every build gets
Not a list of features on a pricing page — the things that are simply true of every site that leaves here.
Genuinely bespoke
Palette, layout and copy are rebuilt from scratch for each business — not a theme with the colours swapped.
Built mobile-first
Most owners open a demo on their phone for the first time. Every site is designed there first, not adapted to it afterwards.
Fast, clean, findable
Hand-written HTML and CSS with no bloated site builder underneath. Proper SEO groundwork from the first line of code.
Built to be used
Keyboard navigable, screen-reader friendly, and readable in dark mode — because some of your customers need that, and it costs nothing to do properly.
What the businesses say
He turned up with the whole website already built on his phone. I hadn't paid him anything. I just said yes on the spot.
It doesn't look like a template. That was the whole reason I said yes — it actually looks like my business rather than everyone else's.
Loads faster than the one I was paying monthly for, and I'm not renting it any more. It's mine.
Quotes are from businesses whose sites are shown in the work. Names are used with permission where given.
Questions I get asked
If yours isn't here, ring or message and I'll answer it properly rather than send you a brochure.
Do I really not pay anything up front?
That's right. I research your business, design and build the whole website, and then show it to you finished. There's no deposit, no discovery fee and no obligation to take it. You only pay if you decide you want it.
How much does a website cost?
A one-page site is £400 and a full multi-page site is £600. Both are complete, hand-built websites rather than a template with your logo dropped in. Optional extras — deeper SEO work and ongoing maintenance — are listed on the services page.
How long does it take?
Usually one to two weeks from first contact to seeing the finished site, depending on how much material there is to work through. If you need it sooner for an opening or an event, say so and I'll work to that.
What do you need from me to get started?
Very little. Your business name and what you do is genuinely enough to begin — I research the rest. Photos, reviews and any branding you already have make the site better, but nothing is held up waiting for them.
Do I own the website afterwards?
Yes. The finished site is handed over to you on your own domain, and the code is yours. You're not renting it and you're not locked into a monthly contract to keep it online.
Do you only work with businesses in Leyland?
No — I'm based in Leyland and cover Leyland, Chorley, Preston, Wigan and the surrounding areas, and I'm happy to work with businesses further afield. Being local just means I can drop in and show you the site in person, which most people prefer.
What if I already have a website?
Then I'll tell you honestly whether it needs replacing. If your existing site is doing its job, I'll say so rather than sell you a new one. If it's slow, dated or invisible on Google, I'll show you what a rebuild would look like.
Will the site work on phones?
Every site is designed on a phone screen first, because that's where nearly all of your customers will see it. Desktop is checked afterwards, not the other way round.
Want to see your business's site before you decide?
Build a preview yourself in about a minute, or just tell me what you do and I'll take it from there. No commitment either way.
