You deal with me directly from first chat to launch, and you get a clear, fixed quote before any work starts. I'm self-taught and I fix things properly.

// SPEC_SHEET · WAYS TO WORK WITH ME

Packages

01 · NEW BUILDfrom £495

A bespoke website, made to your specifications. I will work with you to bring your idea to life or I can give you my thoughts and ideas for the project you have in mind. All projects include SEO foundations/security, mobile compatibility and easy content management, all owned by you.

02 · REDESIGNfrom £395

Does your site need updating? I will get it looking modern, mobile-friendly and fast. Ideal if your site looks dated, is slow on phones, or you can't update it yourself. If you use software such as WordPress to manage your site I will incorporate it, so you can still update content yourself.

03 · CUSTOM SOFTWAREfrom £1,500

Software built around the way your business works: online booking and quotes, job and stock tracking, apps for your staff or customers, and automations that replace spreadsheets and paperwork. It works on phones, tablets and computers, and you own it. Booking and operations tools for hire and events businesses are my speciality.

04 · AI FOR YOUR BUSINESSfrom £295

Practical AI for the jobs that eat your week, like replying to enquiries, writing quotes and admin. An AI Check-up (£295) is a 2-hour session and a written plan with 3 quick wins and simple rules for keeping customer data safe. An AI Set-up (from £750) builds one AI tool into how you work. A person always checks before anything reaches a customer.

05 · CARE PLANfrom £25/month

A monthly rolling care plan for your website (from £25) or software (from £50). Updates every 2 weeks, daily backups kept for 30 days, and a reply within 2 working days. Websites get up to 3 small changes a month. Domain and hosting are passed on at cost, on top. 30 days' notice to cancel. AI care is a separate add-on for an AI Set-up, at £95 a month, and I reply by the next working day.

// every project gets a clear, fixed quote before anything starts.

// websites and redesigns can be paid in 3 monthly parts, no interest: £495 = 3 × £165, and the site goes live after the 2nd payment.
