Built by hand
No template, no page builder, and no code you never asked for.
Web design and SEO
Sites built by hand, for businesses that need to be found
Two things, depending on what you need: a website that people find and read, or a single page built around one decision. Both are written for your business, not assembled from a template.

What you get, whichever of the two you choose
The same list applies to both, at different sizes. Nothing here is an extra sold on top.
Technical SEO complete
Structured data, sitemap, robots, titles and descriptions, in every build.
Over 90 at launch
Speed, accessibility and search readiness, measured on mobile before handover.
Works everywhere
Phone, tablet and desktop, built and checked at the sizes people actually use.
Two rounds of revisions
A round means you gather your comments and send them in one go, then I apply them.
No lock in
The code, the content and the accounts are yours, with no monthly licence.
Two products
Which one do you need?
Options, with their own price
- Analytics and cookie consent
- Search performance monitoring
- Global speed and attack protection
- Business email on your domain
- Managed hosting and updates
What lives inside the site is in the price. These run on accounts in your own name, so they are listed separately and any of them can be left out.
The guarantee, in plain words: if something was built wrong, I fix it, whenever it surfaces, at no cost. It does not cover changes you ask for later, new features, or something broken by another party.
The legal pages are standard structure and wording, adapted to what the site actually collects. They are not legal advice and do not replace a lawyer.
Not included
- Writing your content from a blank page. Rough notes are enough, and shaping them into pages is part of the build.
- Photography and video
- Translating your content. The multilingual structure is in the price; translating the words is not
- Migrating data from an old site
On images: your own or stock, with the stock licence paid by you.
Where I am not the right choice
Why I do not build on WordPress, WooCommerce or PrestaShop
Those platforms are a reasonable choice for a lot of businesses, and there are people who work with them every day and do it well. My reason for not being one of them is narrow, and it is the same in all three cases: they make the result depend on things neither of us controls.
- Performance is decided by a theme and a set of plugins, each loading code of its own. A speed budget you cannot enforce is not a budget
- Security turns into dependency hygiene. Every plugin is code neither of us reviewed, updated on a schedule neither of us sets
- Deployment stops being repeatable. Changes are made in an admin panel instead of somewhere you can roll back from
- So I build tailored products instead: fewer moving parts, an attack surface I can describe, and a speed figure I can stand behind

When the site has to sell
Take payment, and issue a proper invoice
A sales site has to accept money and give the customer a receipt that holds up. The payment processor is chosen to fit your market and your bank, Stripe or another, and the principle is the same for all of them. The invoice comes out in the format your tax authority expects, not a PDF you assemble by hand.
- The processor account is in your own name, so the money lands in your bank and never passes through mine
- Which processor fits is a question about your market and your bank, not about which one is quickest to wire up
- The invoice format follows the rules where you are registered, so it is accepted rather than argued about
What you are buyingAnswer
One processor forced on every clientNo
A PDF you assemble by handNo
A processor chosen for your market and bankYes
The processor account in your own nameYes
An invoice in the format your tax authority expectsYes
How it runs
From your content to a site that is live
Structure
We agree which pages exist and what each one has to answer, before anything is designed.
Build
You send your content, finished or rough, and it is shaped into pages that read well.
Two rounds
You gather your comments and send them in one go, twice. Further rounds are quoted separately.
Launch
Measured, handed over, and running on a small monthly plan if you want one.
A small site is live in one to two weeks
How much
You can work it out yourself, right now
An estimate in five questionspages, languages and what you want included. The figure appears at your own market rate, with the hours shown next to it.
Fixed after scopingthe estimate is a starting point. After a short conversation the price is fixed, so it does not move while the work runs.
What a website costs
Wondering what this would cost?
Answer five questions and see an indicative figure for your market, with the effort behind each line. No form, no email. The estimate covers the build; hosting and updates run on a small monthly plan, priced for your market.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which one do I need, a site or a landing page?
A landing page if you are sending traffic to one offer and want one thing to happen: a form filled in, a call booked, a purchase made. A website if people are looking for you and need to understand what you do before they decide. If you are not sure, describe the situation and I will tell you which one, including when the honest answer is that you need neither yet.
Why not WordPress, WooCommerce or PrestaShop?
Because on those platforms the result depends on a theme, on plugins and on an update schedule that neither of us controls. That affects three things at once: how fast the site is, how large its attack surface becomes, and whether a change can be reversed cleanly. I would not be able to promise a speed figure and keep it, so I do not take that work. If a platform is what you need, there are people who do it well.
How long does it take?
A small site is live in one to two weeks, a landing page in three to five working days, counting from the day your content reaches me. Larger sites take longer, and the estimator shows the hours behind the figure.
What does over 90 mean, exactly?
Over 90 for speed, accessibility and search readiness on mobile, measured with Google Lighthouse at launch, on the pages I deliver. Scripts you add later, chat widgets and embedded video change those numbers and are outside my control.
Who writes the content?
You do. The structure is part of the build: which pages exist and what each one has to answer. The words come from you, and they can arrive rough rather than polished, because shaping them is part of the work.
What happens after launch?
Hosting and updates run on a small monthly plan, priced for your market, with the first mailbox included. Small text and image changes are part of it. New pages, new features and a redesign are quoted separately, and you can take everything elsewhere at any point: the code and the accounts are yours from the first day.
