A slow website loses people before they ever see it. Below are four sites I built, and how long each one takes to start loading.
Google found someone is 32% more likely to give up when a page takes three seconds instead of one. Yours won’t keep them waiting.
SECONDS, LOWER IS BETTER. Anything under half a second feels instant. The right-hand edge is 0.8 seconds, which Google treats as the limit for a good website.
HOW THESE WERE MEASURED. Each site was loaded five times on 1 September 2026 and the middle result published. THE STRIPED BAR runs off the end on purpose. Google’s own data shows fewer than a third of WordPress sites come in under the limit, and I would rather leave that bar open than invent a number for a site that isn’t mine.

Photo galleries that have to open instantly on a phone, on venue wifi, while a couple is still deciding.

Looked up from a truck cab, one bar of signal, engine running. That’s the test that actually matters.

A machine catalog that had to stay quick and readable without turning into a brochure nobody opens.

No logins, no updates, no plugins to renew. It won’t break on a Friday night while you’re trying to run the business.
Speed is designed in while the site is being made, not bolted on afterwards. That’s why the sites above open the way they do.
Set up so people searching for what you do actually find you, and so AI assistants describe your business properly instead of guessing.
The padlock in the address bar, renewed and looked after for you. It’s an easy thing to skip, because almost nobody thinks to check it.
Send everything already written, or send nothing and I’ll write it from one conversation for you to correct. Both happen about equally often.
Your domain, your words, your photos. Leave whenever you like and take all of it with you.
No call required to find out what it costs.
Nothing to sign yet. Tell me what your business does and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
Fifteen minutes on what you do and who you want calling you.
You get a working link you can open, not a mockup in a slide deck.
Prices, hours, names, photos. The things only you actually know.
On your domain, and I keep it running from there.
I’ve built this kind of site enough times to be quick at it, and I make my living from the monthly hosting rather than the build. A low build price gets more businesses started, which suits us both. You’re getting a lower price, not less care.
Not much. What you do, who you want calling you, and any photos you already have. If the words are already written, send them. If they aren’t, I’ll write them from one conversation and you correct the details. Both happen about equally often.
That’s common. I’ll look at what you have and tell you whether it’s worth keeping. If it only needs hosting and upkeep, that’s the $25 a month on its own. And if your current site is doing fine, I’ll say so.
New hours, a price update, swapping a photo, fixing a typo. Two a month are included, and I don’t count carefully. A new page or a redesign gets quoted first, so nothing arrives on your bill unannounced.
You take the domain and the files and go. No contract, no notice period, no exit fee, nothing held back. It’s your business, not mine.
Websites and hosting are the focus. My background is IT support, networking and security, which mainly means that when something technical goes wrong, you aren’t talking to someone who only knows design.
Something not answered here? Just ask. A question costs you nothing.
That’s the whole first step. No brief to write, no budget meeting, no sales pitch. If it isn’t a fit, I’ll say so on the call.
