Website Development

Custom, high-performance websites and web applications built with lean code, solid architecture and SEO in the foundation.

Overview

A website is usually the first serious interaction someone has with your business, and it is judged in seconds. I build websites from a clean foundation: semantic HTML, efficient CSS, minimal JavaScript and a PHP/MySQL back end only where it adds value. The result is a site that loads quickly on real mobile connections, is easy for search engines to understand and is straightforward to maintain.

Projects range from company and founder websites to content platforms, landing pages, event and wishing websites built for traffic spikes, and custom web applications. Design, development, hosting setup and launch are handled as one joined-up process rather than handed between different vendors.

Problems this solves

  • A slow, template-based site that scores poorly on Core Web Vitals and loses visitors on mobile.
  • A design that looks generic and does not communicate what makes the business different.
  • Code that is hard to update, so every small change becomes expensive.
  • Sites that collapse or slow to a crawl when a campaign or festival brings a burst of traffic.
  • SEO treated as an afterthought, with missing metadata, poor structure and no structured data.

FAQs

Common questions.

Do you use WordPress or custom code?

It depends on the project. Content-heavy sites that need frequent editing usually suit WordPress. Focused business sites, tools and applications often perform better as lean custom PHP. I recommend the option that fits your needs, not a default.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Yes. Every site is designed mobile-first and tested across phone, tablet and desktop widths, because most traffic arrives on mobile.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. I review the current site first, keep what works (including URLs that already rank), and plan redirects so that a redesign does not cost you search traffic.

Do you handle hosting and deployment?

I can deploy to your existing hosting or set up a VPS with Nginx or LiteSpeed, SSL and Cloudflare, depending on what the project needs.
