Nice to meet you

Need a website? I'll build it for you.

Alongside IT advice, I build tailor-made websites: for your business, your practice, a club or a project. With the same focus on security and quality as in my IT work, and without the technical hassle for you.

  • Designed in your own brand style, with your logo and colours
  • Works well on phone, tablet and desktop
  • Fast and secure: no database or plugins to keep up to date
  • Findable in Google: strong titles and descriptions and a sitemap
  • Your own domain name with a secure connection (HTTPS)
  • Help with your Google Business Profile and a privacy statement
  • Need a change or an addition later? I'll take care of it.

How we work together

  1. Introduction

    We discuss what you want to achieve, who the site is for and which pages you need.

  2. Requirements

    We agree on what's needed: logos, photos, topics, writing style, and your domain name and DNS.

  3. Design

    I create a design in your style. You give feedback until it's right.

  4. Build and test

    I build the site and test it on different screens and browsers.

  5. Go live

    I connect your domain, enable a secure connection (HTTPS) and put the site live.
