Lighthouse · No. 1
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.
- 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.

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.

Ten years of finished homes, and now a website that shows them.

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.
Ready when you are
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.
How much does a website cost?
How long does it take?
Who owns the website when it's done?
What if something breaks after launch?
Are you a marketing agency?
Can you fix my current site instead of rebuilding it?
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.
