Website development: fast, hand-built websites
Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with no page builder or stack of plugins underneath. Fast, accessible and easy for Google to read.
A lot of small-business sites run on a page builder and a dozen plugins. Each one adds weight and something else to keep updated, and the site slows down and breaks over time. I write the code for your site by hand, so it only includes what it needs.
That means pages that load quickly on a phone with one bar of signal, work with screen readers and keyboards, and score 95 or more on Google's Lighthouse checks from day one. Speed and accessibility are part of how Google ranks pages, so they matter for being found, not just for your visitors.
When you need more than pages of information, I build that too: a quote cart that works out delivery by address, an online shop, a product calculator, booking or enquiry forms. Levin Landscape Depot's quote cart and Entirely Chaotic's shop are both examples.
Because I also host and look after the site, the code stays in good shape after launch. There is no handover to someone else who has to work out how it was built.
