Freelance Web Development
Fast, accessible websites built by hand with clean code, so they load quickly, rank well and stay easy to look after.
Web Development
Fast, Accessible & Built to Last
I build every site from scratch rather than starting from a theme. That keeps the code lean, so pages load quickly, work for everyone and don't fall apart the next time something gets updated.
Most of my sites run on a static setup with a simple content editor. It's faster, more secure and cheaper to look after than a typical WordPress build.
-
Hand-Written Code
No page builders and no bloated themes. I write the HTML, CSS and JavaScript myself, so there's nothing on the page that doesn't need to be there.
#1 -
Fast by Default
Lean code, properly sized images and careful font loading. Every build is tested for speed before launch, because slow sites lose visitors and Google notices.
#2 -
Accessible From the Start
Every build is checked with a keyboard, a screen reader and automated tests, so it works for everyone who visits, not just most of them.
#3 -
Ready for Search
Clean structure, sensible headings, metadata, redirects and structured data are part of the build, so search engines get everything they need from day one.
#4 -
Static-First and Secure
Most of my sites are static, with no database sitting there to be attacked. They stay up, stay quick and don't need a constant stream of security patches.
#5 -
Easy to Look After
If you want to edit pages yourself, I'll set up a simple editor around your content. And if an update ever fails, the live site stays exactly as it was.

Web Development Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What technologies do you build with?
Mostly HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with static-site tools such as Eleventy, Git-based workflows and Netlify for hosting. I'll add a headless CMS where you need to edit content yourself.
-
How much does web development cost?
Every project is quoted on its own, depending on the number of page layouts, whether you need a CMS and what it has to connect to. The pricing page shows typical ranges and what moves the price.
-
How long does a build take?
The build itself is usually two to four weeks once the designs are signed off. A full project from brief to launch is typically 8 to 12 weeks.
-
Can you add a CMS?
Yes. If you need to edit content regularly, I can add a CMS such as Sanity so you can manage pages, posts, images and structured content yourself.
-
Can you build a site someone else has designed?
Yes. I regularly build from other designers' and agencies' Figma files, and I'll flag anything that won't work well in a browser before it becomes a problem.
-
Can you integrate third-party tools?
Yes. Analytics, CRM forms, email platforms, booking tools, maps, payments and APIs. More complex integrations are scoped once I've read the documentation.
-
Is Jamstack right for every website?
Not always. It's great for fast, secure, content-led sites, but the stack should follow the brief. If something else suits your project better, I'll say so.
