Speed

Fast enough that
nobody waits.

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.

Included

The parts nobody
shows you.

The things that make a website work, which most people never get told about.

01

Nothing for you to maintain

No logins, no updates, no plugins to renew. It won’t break on a Friday night while you’re trying to run the business.

02

Built fast from the start

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.

03

Get found on Google and AI search

Set up so people searching for what you do actually find you, and so AI assistants describe your business properly instead of guessing.

04

Secure, and kept that way

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.

05

The words, either way

Send everything already written, or send nothing and I’ll write it from one conversation for you to correct. Both happen about equally often.

06

Yours, permanently

Your domain, your words, your photos. Leave whenever you like and take all of it with you.

Price

Both numbers,
in public.

No call required to find out what it costs.

Four steps,
about a week.

Days 2 to 4

Day 5

You correct it

Prices, hours, names, photos. The things only you actually know.

Days 6 to 7

It goes live

On your domain, and I keep it running from there.

Questions

Before you ask.

How is this $320 when everyone else quotes thousands?

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.

What do you need from me to get started?

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.

What if I already have a website?

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.

What counts as a small change?

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.

What happens if I want to leave?

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.

Do you only build websites?

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.

Start

Tell me what your
business does.

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.

What happens next
  • I read it myself. No queue, no account manager.
  • You get a reply within one business day, usually the same day.
  • We talk for fifteen minutes, then you decide.
