A website built to bring the work in.

Because a £300 website and a £2,000 website aren't the same product at different prices — they're different things. The cheap one is usually a template filled in fast, with no thought to whether it ranks or turns visitors into enquiries. Mine are designed around getting you work and built to last, so you're not paying someone else to redo it in a year. If your budget won't stretch, I'll tell you straight what's realistic rather than take your money for something that won't deliver.

Most builds run a few weeks from our first call to launch. The variable is usually how fast your content and photos come together, not the build itself. I'll give you an honest timeline up front, and I'm known for getting it done without dragging it out.

Yes. I hand-build on WordPress partly so you're never held hostage for a simple text change. You get a training video and a site you can actually edit — swap images, change copy, add a page. I'm there when you want me, not because you're stuck.

I guide the copy and the structure: what each page needs to say, and in what order, to lead someone to get in touch. And I'll steer you on photography. The best results come when we shape the content together: a beautiful site with weak words still won't convert, and I won't pretend otherwise.

For most growing service businesses, it's WordPress: flexible, you own it outright, and it scales with you. Wix and Squarespace are fine for the smallest, simplest sites, but you hit their ceiling quickly. I'll give you a straight recommendation for your situation, not a pitch for whatever's easiest for me.

Yes. WooCommerce and Shopify builds, plus migrations off clunkier setups onto something that sells. Maidens & Ravens' WooCommerce store is a good example.

No. I'm Skipton-based and work with businesses right across North Yorkshire and the wider county, but plenty of the work happens remotely. Where you are matters far less than whether we're a good fit.

No. I handle both. Your domain is your web address (like yourbusiness.co.uk), and hosting is the service that keeps your website online. I'll register or transfer your domain, set up fast, secure hosting, and manage renewals so nothing lapses. You own everything outright and can move it if you ever want to. Most people never need to think about it again.
