Interface & design system
Responsive layouts built from a small set of reusable components, so a new page is an assembly job rather than a redesign. Light and dark, phone through desktop.
01 — Service
Websites built to be maintained, not just launched.
End-to-end web engineering — responsive interfaces, a clean separation of concerns, and deployment into infrastructure you actually own. The site that goes live is the one you can still change in two years.
What is included
What this covers
Application & API
Server-side logic and APIs with the boundaries drawn where the domain actually divides, not where the framework suggests. Input validated at the edge, errors that say what went wrong.
Infrastructure & deployment
Containerised and reproducible: the same image runs on a laptop and in production. TLS, security headers, health checks and rollback from the first deploy, not added afterwards.
Performance & accessibility
Budgeted for a mid-range phone on a mobile connection. Keyboard navigable, screen-reader labelled, and tested at the widths people actually use.
Search foundations
Semantic markup, metadata, sitemap and structured data — the groundwork that lets content rank, without pretending to be an SEO campaign.
Recent work
Sites built and running.
A sample of what has shipped — live links and, where the code is public, the repository behind it.

Process
How the work runs.
-
01
Scope
We agree what the site has to do and who it is for, and write that down as pages and states rather than adjectives.
-
02
Architect
Content model, component set and infrastructure are decided up front, so the build is implementation rather than exploration.
-
03
Build
Delivered in working increments you can open in a browser. Containerised and under CI from the first commit.
-
04
Hand over
Documentation, credentials and a walkthrough. You leave able to change content without calling anyone.
What you end up with
- Source code in a repository you own
- A containerised deployment that runs anywhere
- TLS, security headers and monitoring configured
- Written documentation and a handover session
Questions
Asked often enough to answer here.
Can you work with a site that already exists?
Yes. That is usually a rebuild of the parts that hurt rather than a rewrite of everything — often the front end first, with the existing back end left in place until it earns replacing.
Who owns the code?
You do, in your own repository, from the first commit. Nothing is held hostage in an account you cannot access.
Do you host it as well?
I can deploy to your infrastructure or to a server I manage. Either way the deployment is containerised and documented, so moving it later is a configuration change rather than a migration project.
How long does a site take?
A focused marketing site is usually a few weeks; an application with accounts, payments or integrations is longer. The scope conversation produces a real estimate — a number before that would be a guess.
