Did you know
53% of mobile visitors leave if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load.
That's more than half your potential customers gone before they read a word.

Time is the scarcest commodity.
The problem
Nobody has time to wait around for a slow website. You want to find what you need and get on with your day.
Small businesses on shared hosting pay for it twice: in bounce rate, and in search visibility. The people who can least afford a broken experience get it most often.
How I build
<1s Load time on a mid-range phone on 4G.
>99 Lighthouse performance score, targeted as standard.
CWV Core Web Vitals passing by default — Google's direct ranking signal for page speed.
And still
Speed is not a tradeoff for beauty. Every site I build is designed to look the part — fast and good-looking aren't mutually exclusive, they just require the right tools and someone who gives a damn about both.
Let's make the web faster for everyone.

What I Do
Services
Industries
My Process
From brief to launch.
Discovery
1–2 days
One conversation: you explain what the site needs to do and who it's for.
Structure
2–3 days
I map the pages, content hierarchy, and user flows before any design work starts.
Build
1–2 weeks
Design and development happen together, so you see the site taking shape as it's built.
Review
3–5 days
You test it on your own devices, and I work through feedback until you're satisfied.
Launch
1 day
I handle DNS, redirects, and sitemap submission to Google. Done properly, not just handed over as files.
Handover
Ongoing
Everything is yours: code, access, documentation. Nothing withheld.
