Clean, Fast & Modern Websites and Web Apps

I help businesses move from outdated, bloated setups to clean, high-performance builds - whether that’s a custom WordPress site, a E-Commerce store or a tailored web application. Everything is designed with SEO in mind, fast loading and long-term maintainability.

What I Can Help With

Four core service areas focused on clean builds, measurable improvements and long-term maintainability.

Website Development

Custom WordPress builds and modern, code-based development - from lightweight business sites to fully customised web applications.

What’s included

  • • Custom WordPress builds, small business sites & E-Commerce
  • • Web app development (dashboards, portals, internal tools)
  • • Modern static / hybrid builds using clean front-end stacks
  • • Fully responsive layouts for mobile, tablet & desktop
  • • Best-practice HTML, CSS, JS and Tailwind utility layers

You get a website or application that’s fast, scalable and engineered with clean foundations - easy to extend later without costly rebuilds.

SEO & Performance Optimisation

Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals improvements to help your site load quickly and be understood properly by search engines.

What’s included

  • • Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse & PageSpeed clean-up
  • • Image optimisation, critical CSS and asset minimisation
  • • Structured data / schema markup and on-page SEO basics
  • • Technical audits with practical, prioritised recommendations

Ideal if you already have a site, but it feels slow, under-optimised or isn’t performing as well as it should.

Website Maintenance

Ongoing care plans so your website stays secure, backed-up and running smoothly while you focus on the business.

What’s included

  • • WordPress core, theme & plugin updates
  • • Scheduled backups and uptime monitoring
  • • Security checks and basic hardening
  • • Small content / layout tweaks each month

Perfect if you don’t want to log into WordPress every week just to keep things from breaking.

Technical Support & Troubleshooting

Hands-on help for broken layouts, plugin conflicts, DNS issues, email failures, hosting errors and general “something weird is happening” moments - plus practical IT support when needed.

What’s included

  • • Debugging theme / plugin issues and PHP errors
  • • DNS & domain configuration, SSL, email routing checks
  • • Hosting migrations and environment clean-ups
  • • IT support for small businesses (network basics, setup, troubleshooting)
  • • One-off fixes or short engagement support blocks

Good for when you don’t need a full rebuild yet, but you do need someone technical to stabilise issues quickly and reliably.

How the Process Works

A simple, collaborative process that keeps you in the loop without drowning you in technical detail.

Step 1

Discovery Call

We discuss your business, current site (if you have one) and what “better” looks like for you.

Step 2

Scope & Proposal

You’ll receive a clear scope, timeline and pricing with no hidden modules or surprise add-ons.

Step 3

Wireframes & Structure

We map out key pages and information hierarchy so the content and UX actually make sense.

Step 4

Design & Build

I build the site with clean code, performance optimisations and SEO foundations from the start.

Step 5

Review & Refinements

We review together, tweak details and make sure everything feels right before going live.

Step 6

Launch & Ongoing Support

Launch with tracking, backups and basic monitoring in place - plus optional care plans afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few common questions that usually come up when planning a new build, refresh or optimisation.

How much does a website cost? ›

Most small business websites sit between $900–$3,500. Online stores and booking systems are typically $2,000–$6,000, while custom web apps start from $3,000+ depending on complexity.

How long does a website take? ›

Most small business websites take 3–5 weeks, depending on how quickly content is provided and how complex the build is. A typical project includes planning, design direction, development, responsiveness, performance work, SEO foundations and review rounds. More advanced sites such as WooCommerce stores, booking systems or custom web apps - usually take 6–10+ weeks, depending on features.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi? ›

Yes. When they’re the right fit. For many projects I build clean, custom themes using modern tooling and Tailwind because they offer the best long-term performance and maintainability. But if your team prefers a visual editor, or if fast delivery is the priority, I can build with Elementor as well - kept lean, structured and optimised so it doesn’t turn into a bloated site. And if you already have a page-builder site and aren’t ready to rebuild, I can still help with performance, clean-up and technical fixes.

Can you help with hosting, domains and email? ›

Yes. I can help choose a sensible hosting provider, configure DNS and SSL, and make sure your domain and email records are set up correctly so everything works together.

Is SEO included in every project? ›

Every build includes technical SEO basics: clean HTML structure, metadata, performance work and best-practice handling of headings, links and internal structure. Deeper SEO strategy or content work can be added as a separate engagement if needed.

Do you offer one-off fixes instead of full projects? ›

Yes. If you just need something specific fixed such as a broken layout, plugin conflict or a performance issue - I can work on a smaller troubleshooting engagement instead of a full rebuild.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance? ›

Yes. I offer simple care plans that include updates, backups, security checks and small content tweaks.

What does ongoing maintenance actually include? ›

A typical care plan includes core and plugin updates, regular backups, security checks and a small amount of support time each month for minor tweaks or questions. We can adjust the level depending on how critical your site is.
