Websites for businesses of every size, designed, built and looked after by one person.

I'm Cj, a freelance web designer and developer based in Grantham. I build websites for businesses of all sizes, help people find them, and keep them running once they're live. You'll know the price before we start, and you'll never be passed on to someone else.

01 Who You're Hiring

I'm a real person, and I answer my own emails.

I've built websites for beauty salons, electricians and companies with over 100 staff. Every business is different, so before I build anything I'll ask you one thing - what do you need your website to do? Once that's clear, everything else falls into place.

Get in touch

What you get

  • My mobile number, not a ticket queue
  • Regular updates, not radio silence
  • A straight answer if I think something won’t work

What you won't get

  • A 40-page proposal
  • Work quietly passed to someone else
  • An invoice you weren't expecting

And once your site's live, I don't disappear. If something breaks or you need a hand with an update, you've still got my number.

02 Services

What I can help with

Most projects use two or three of these together - I'll tell you which ones you actually need.

03 Selected work

Some of the businesses I've worked with

A few recent projects, with what each business needed and how I went about it.

04 Packages

Honest pricing, from the start.

I'd rather give you real numbers than a "get in touch for a quote." Every project's a little different, so think of these as an honest starting point.

05 How It Goes

Four steps. You always know which one we're on.

Day 0

A proper chat

Half an hour on a call. What the business needs, what's in the way, what you can spend. Free, and no pitch deck.

Within 48hrs

A fixed quote

One page: scope, price, dates. If it's more than you expected, we cut scope rather than corners.

Weeks 1-6

Design & build

You see it every week on a live link. Comments go straight on the page. Nothing gets built in secret.

Launch Day

Launch & after

I press the button, watch it for a fortnight, and show you how to run it. Then I'm around when you need me.

06 Straight answers

The things people ask before they email.

Anything missing? Ask me directly, I'll give you a straight answer and not a sales one.

Am I too small a client?

Almost certainly not. Half my work is one-person businesses. If your budget is under a thousand I'll tell you what's realistic for it, or point you at a template that would do the job.

Do you subcontract the work?

No. I design and build it myself. On rare occasions I'll bring in an illustrator or a copywriter, and I'll tell you before I do.

What if I need changes later?

Small things are usually free. Anything bigger is £30/hour, quoted before I start. Or take a care plan and it's included.

How busy are you?

I take two projects at a time so nothing sits waiting. Right now I can usually start within about three weeks - drop me a message and I'll give you an exact date.

Do you only work with businesses in Grantham?

No - I'm based in Grantham and happy to meet locally, but most of my work happens over calls and email, so I work with businesses all over the UK.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. I build on a CMS (usually WordPress or Statamic) and show you how to use it before launch, with a written guide to keep.

Tell me what you're trying to build.

A couple of lines is plenty. I reply to everything within a working day, even if the answer is “I'm not the right fit”.
