Designed for your business. Live in a week.Launchpad
I design and build custom websites for small businesses, at a fixed price. You tell me about your business, then I write the copy, design the site and build it. At the end, you own all of it. Packages start at £1,500.
You're good at what you do.
Your website should show it.
Launchpad is for small businesses that need a proper website and don't have time to build one. If one of these sounds familiar, let's talk.
Restaurants and cafés
People check your menu online before they visit. Right now they find a Facebook page from 2018.
Fitness and wellness
Referrals keep you busy. Your website should be bringing in everyone else.
Trades and services
You have five-star reviews on Google and nowhere to send people who want to see your work.
Creative freelancers
Your portfolio still shows work from three jobs ago.
Hotels and hospitality
Guests love staying with you, but the photos online don't do the place justice.
Local businesses
Someone nearby searches for exactly what you do, and finds a competitor first.
Better than DIY. Faster than an agency.
Launchpad sits between building it yourself and hiring an agency. The speed comes from AI tooling I've built for the repetitive parts of a build, so my time goes on the design.
Launchpad
- Designed for your business from scratch
- Fixed price: £1,500 or £3,000
- Live in one to three weeks
- You own the code, the domain and the hosting
DIY site builders
- Built on the same templates as thousands of other sites
- Weeks of your evenings spent in the editor
- Design limited to what the template allows
- Monthly fees for as long as the site is live
Traditional agency
- Typically £5,000 and up
- Usually 6 to 12 weeks
- Rounds of meetings before anything gets built
- Your project passes between several people
Four steps. That's it.
Tell me about your business
Book a short call and tell me about your business, your customers, sites you like and any content you already have.
I design and build it
I handle the design, layout, copy and build. You don't need a detailed brief or polished copy. I work with what you've got and fill in the gaps.
You review it
You get a video walkthrough of your site. Send your feedback in one round (two on Launchpad Plus), and I make the changes.
We launch
Your site goes live on your domain. You own the code, the hosting account and the domain, so you're never locked in.
Two packages.
Fixed prices.
50% to start, 50% at launch. The site is yours at handover.

Do I need to write the copy?
No. I write your website copy from what you tell me about your business, and you review it.
What do I need to get started?
A short call, your logo if you have one, and any photos you'd like to use. If you don't have photos, we'll work out the best option together.
How is it this quick?
I've built my own AI tooling for the slow, repetitive parts of a build, like project setup, boilerplate code and first drafts. That leaves my time for the design. Every design decision is still mine, and nothing starts from a template.
Who owns the website?
You do. The code, the domain and the hosting account are all yours at handover, and any web developer can pick the site up later.
What does it cost to run?
Usually just your domain, around £10 to £15 a year. Your site is hosted on Cloudflare's free plan.
What if I need changes later?
Any developer can make them, or I can look after the site for you:
- Basic, £50 a month: small content updates and uptime monitoring.
- Growth, £150 a month: everything in Basic, plus analytics setup, a monthly performance report and SEO recommendations.
What if I need something bigger?
I also do fully custom builds, for larger sites, custom functionality or full brand work. Email me what you need and I'll scope it.
