Why speed matters more than it sounds
A study for Google found that making a mobile site a tenth of a second faster led to around a fifth more people moving through enquiry forms. People don't wait for slow sites, especially on their phones. Fast sites also tend to do better on Google.

An SSL certificate
The padlock in the address bar, so browsers show your site as secure.

Next.js or WordPress?
For most businesses I recommend Next.js. WordPress makes sense if you want to update the site yourself every week.
| Next.js | WordPress | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | As fast as it gets | Fast, with care |
| Making changes | You ask, I do it | You can do it yourself |
| Security | Very little to attack | Needs regular updates, which a care plan covers |
| Price | £600 | £800 |
| Best for | Most businesses | Businesses posting updates often |
Questions people ask
What is Next.js, and why do you recommend it?
Next.js is the tool I use to build custom websites. It prepares your pages in advance, so they appear almost instantly, and there's very little for hackers to attack. It's also my most affordable option at £600, so for most businesses it's the best choice.
Can I edit the content myself?
Not on a Next.js site, and that's deliberate. Instead of learning an admin panel, you send me your changes and I make them. Small changes are included on my Plus and Pro care plans and on the £99 a month plan, so your layout stays tidy and the site stays fast.
What if I'd rather manage the site myself?
Then a WordPress site is the better fit, from £800. I'll tell you which option suits you.
How long does a Next.js website take to build?
Most sites are live about two weeks after our first call. Bigger sites take longer, and I'll give you a realistic date upfront.
What does hosting cost?
Hosting is included in every care plan, from £10 a month, on UK servers with daily backups and an SSL certificate. On the £99 a month plan it's already included. I set it all up for you.
Tell me what you need.
A couple of sentences is plenty. I read every message myself and usually reply within about an hour during the working day.
