Your website is losing you customers, politely.

I build fast, hand-coded websites for small businesses. You get a fixed quote within a day and a preview link in the first week.

It's free. So is my opinion of your current site.

Run the free speed test

About thirty seconds. I never see your results.

  • Fixed quote within a day
  • Two months of free fixes
  • Everything in your name at launch
  • You deal with the developer

Nine printed blocks stacked into the MAKR logo: M and A on top of K and R, with a cube, a cylinder and two flat blocks around them.

On the shelf

Three tiers, and I'll point you to the cheapest one that does the job.

All three are hand-coded, equally fast and yours at launch. They differ in how much I design from scratch, and how long that takes.

Quickest

Templated

Timeline 2 to 4 weeks

Good for: A business whose website is currently a Facebook page.

Price: Fixed quote. In writing, within a day

In the box

  • A layout I've already built and speed-tested
  • Your logo, colours, words and photos
  • Search setup, sitemap and analytics
  • A quote form that lands in your inbox
  • One round of changes

Plus two months of free fixes, and everything in your name at launch.

Recommended

Semi-custom

Timeline 4 to 6 weeks

Good for: A ready layout, plus the parts only your business needs, like a quote calculator or online booking.

Price: Fixed quote. In writing, within a day

In the box

  • Everything in Templated
  • Up to four sections designed for you
  • One or two integrations, like booking or a CRM
  • Three rounds of changes
  • A performance and accessibility audit

Plus two months of free fixes, and everything in your name at launch.

One of one

Fully custom

Timeline Quoted by scope

Good for: A brand that shouldn't look like anyone else's. It starts with a blank page and a lot of questions.

Price: Fixed quote. In writing, within a day

In the box

  • Design from a blank page
  • Mockups to approve before any code
  • Animation designed for the site
  • A custom CMS, dashboards or integrations
  • Unlimited rounds of changes

Plus two months of free fixes, and everything in your name at launch.

Some assembly required: your logo, your photos and a twenty-minute call.

The number on the quote is the number on the invoice, which I'm told is unusual.

Back issues

Four client sites, three of them speed-tested and one of them a DJ mixer.

Each label shows the site's Lighthouse result on desktop and the month it was measured, so you can run the test yourself and compare.

Try before you buy

Find out how long your customers have been waiting.

Paste your website's address and Google's Lighthouse test runs on it as a desktop visit. The results come back in plain English.

Free, about thirty seconds, and you don't need to give an email. I never see your results.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is me handing you every password.

01. Intake

A twenty-minute call

You tell me what the business does and who your best customers are. I send a fixed quote within a day.

02. Plan

Pages and words first

We decide what each page says and what a visitor should do there. Colours come later, which saves an argument.

03. Build

A preview link in week one

I write it in code, with no page builder. You get a private link in the first week and leave comments as it comes together.

04. Launch

Every key, in your name

The site goes live and every account moves into your name, passwords included. Fixes are free for two months.

Two months of free fixes. After that I still pick up, I just send an invoice.

Get a quote

Ask at the counter

The questions I get on every first call.

How much does a website cost?

Every site is quoted on its scope, so there's no price list. Tell me what you need and you'll have a fixed price in writing within a day, and it doesn't change once I start.

How long does it take?

Templated sites take 2 to 4 weeks and semi-custom 4 to 6. I usually start within a week, and you'll have a preview link in the first one.

Who owns the website when it's done?

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the analytics are in your name from launch day. If you leave, it all goes with you.

What if something breaks after launch?

For two months I fix it for free, along with small changes. After that you can pay me for hosting and edits, or take the code to anyone you like.

Are you a marketing agency?

No. I'm a developer. I spent five years building the landing pages, tracking and SEO tools behind ad campaigns, so your site comes ready for search and for whoever runs your ads. I don't run ads myself.

Can you fix my current site instead of rebuilding it?

Sometimes. Send me the address and I'll tell you, for free, whether fixing it or rebuilding it would cost less.

Clip and send

Your current website had a good run.

Tell me what your business does and what you need. You'll get a fixed quote within a day, from the person who would write the code.

I read every message myself and reply within a day.

Stub

Keep this half. It says I reply within a day.
Good for one fixed quote, within a day.
