Selected work

Five pages worth visiting.

Two live sites and three concept projects, each made for an independent business with something real to say.

The Birds of Praa homepage: a cream page with the headline ‘Real rescue stories. Brought to life for little readers.’ set in a large serif, beside a short introduction to the picture book and two buttons.

Live site

Birds of Praa

A picture-book site for Morris — The Story of a Cornish Puffin. Warm editorial typography, a reading rhythm that suits the story, and one clear route to buying the book.

The NightCity Media homepage: a deep blue night landscape with an illuminated VM monogram in the cliffs, the headline ‘Made for the night, built to be heard.’ and navigation for Music, Playlists, Artwork, Artists, Services and Contact.

Live site

NightCity Media

An independent music and media label site. Full-bleed night imagery, oversized type and a clear route through music, playlists, artwork and artists — a sister business under the same parent company as NightCityWeb.

Concept project

Independent
garage

An MOT and servicing site built around the only question that matters: when can you take my car? Booking sits at the top, prices are on the page, and the whole thing works on a forecourt phone signal.

  • Booking flow
  • Automotive

Concept project

Electrical
contractor

A single page for a domestic and commercial electrician. Call-out details stay within reach the whole way down, services are written in plain language, and every certification has somewhere to sit.

Concept project

Small-batch
maker

A compact shop for a maker with a short, changing product list. Honest photography, stock that tells the truth, and a checkout that does not lose people at the last step.

The studio

Your website should be your strongest first impression.

We design and build in the same room. Nothing gets handed over, lost in translation, or compromised somewhere between how a site looks and how it works.

Most of what we make is a single page — everything a visitor needs in one considered scroll, loading fast on a phone in a van. Small businesses deserve the care usually reserved for big budgets.

Unfold the unexpected.

What we do

Capabilities

How we work

Four steps, no mystery.

  1. 01

    Discover

    A short conversation about your business, your customers, and what the site actually has to do for you.

  2. 02

    Design

    You see real layouts with your own words and images in them, and we shape them together until they fit.

  3. 03

    Develop

    We build it by hand, test it on real devices, and make sure it is quick on a poor connection.

  4. 04

    Launch

    We put it live, hand over everything that belongs to you, and stay reachable when you need a change.

A sentence or two is plenty — what you do, and what you would like the site to do.
