What you get with a bespoke website

Custom design

No templates, no page builders. Every layout is designed around your content, your customers, and your conversion goals.

Clean, fast code

Webflow delivers clean HTML and fast CDN hosting. I add the architecture: CMS collections, API integrations, and automation that saves hours.

Built to convert

Every page has a job: educate, capture, convert. I design with data, not guesses — scroll depth, click maps, and conversion funnels inform every decision.

Strategy

Start with strategy, not templates

Every page on your site should have a purpose. Before I open a design tool or write a line of code, I work through content strategy, audience definition, and the search intent behind every section. Who is this page for? What do they need to know? What action should they take next? If a page does not earn its place in the user journey, it does not get built.

This phase covers keyword research and AEO positioning: what your audience searches for, how they phrase it, and whether AI-assisted search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE) surfaces your content. I map the keyword matrix, define the content hierarchy, and build the sitemap before anyone touches a design tool. The output is a strategy document you can hand to anyone; not a guess, a plan.

For the full developer overview, see the Webflow developer page, and for how data powers content at scale, see Airtable + Webflow.

Design

Design that converts, not just decorates

Good design is not about looking pretty; it is about moving people through a page toward a decision. I wireframe in Figma, then build concept-driven designs informed by data: scroll depth, click maps, conversion funnels from previous projects, and the specific buying signals your audience responds to. Every layout decision has a reason that starts with "because the data says."

Responsive design is not an afterthought. I design mobile-first, then scale up. The site works on a phone held in one hand and a 27-inch monitor. Design systems use consistent typography scales, colour tokens, and spacing rhythms so the site feels cohesive across every page and every device.

Build

Build for scale, not just launch

I build on Webflow (or Framer, depending on the project) with a headless CMS architecture where needed: Sanity for rich content models, Airtable for structured data that powers programmatic pages. API integrations via Make.com and Zapier automate workflows so data flows between your site and your CRM, email platform, or analytics stack without manual exports. Automation saves money from month one.

GSAP animations add polish without sacrificing performance. AI-assisted development speeds up repetitive tasks while I focus on the architecture and logic that matter. The result is a site that loads fast, scores well on Core Web Vitals, and handles traffic spikes without breaking.

For how I scale landing pages programmatically, see programmatic Webflow.

Data governance

Data governance that clients actually use

Most websites ship with Google Analytics installed and nobody looking at it. I build data governance from day one: Airtable structures that non-technical teams can manage, CMS collections with clear ownership and update workflows, analytics dashboards that answer the questions you actually have (not just vanity metrics), and data flowing in and out of every system exactly as designed.

The goal is simple: six months after launch, your team can update content, add pages, and read the data without calling a developer. That is what good architecture looks like.

Process

Research, design, build, launch, and optimise: a process that does not stop at go-live.

  • Research

    Keyword research, audience definition, content strategy, and competitive analysis. Every page is planned before anyone opens a design tool.

  • Wireframe

    Low-fidelity wireframes in Figma. Layout, content hierarchy, and user flow validated before visual design starts.

  • Design

    High-fidelity designs with real content, responsive layouts, and interaction specs. Pixel-perfect, data-informed, conversion-driven.

  • Build

    Webflow or Framer development with CMS architecture, API integrations, animations, and analytics instrumentation. Clean code, fast performance.

  • Launch

    Full QA across devices and browsers, DNS configuration, SSL, redirects, sitemap submission, and post-launch monitoring.

  • Optimise

    Performance monitoring, conversion tracking, content updates, and ongoing iteration. The site gets better every month, not just every redesign.

How I Build FAQs

Common questions about my web design and development process, timeline, tech stack, and what makes it different.

I run a strategy-first process: research and discovery, wireframing and content strategy, design in Figma, development in Webflow (or Framer, depending on the project), launch with full QA, and ongoing optimisation. Every phase has clear deliverables and check-ins so you always know what's happening and when. The process doesn't stop at launch; data governance, analytics instrumentation, and performance monitoring are built in from day one.

A typical 5-10 page bespoke site takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger projects with CMS collections, API integrations, or programmatic page generation take 8-16 weeks. The timeline depends on design complexity, content readiness, and how quickly feedback loops close. I provide a detailed timeline at the proposal stage so there are no surprises.

Webflow for the front-end and CMS layer, with Airtable or Sanity for headless content when the project needs a richer data model. Make.com and Zapier for automation workflows. GSAP for animations. PostHog or GA4 for analytics. I pick the stack based on what the project needs; not what I feel like using that week.

Both. I can work within an established brand system, rebuild an existing site on a better platform, or create a brand and site from scratch. If you have brand guidelines, Figma files, or content ready, that accelerates the process. If you do not, I can bring in trusted designers and copywriters as needed.

Most developers stop at launch. I build systems that run commercial operations: CMS architecture non-technical teams can manage, automation that saves money month one, and data governance that means your analytics actually tell you something useful. I do not just build pages; I build the engine behind them.

Yes. Every project includes a 30-day warranty period for bug fixes and small adjustments. After that, I offer monthly maintenance retainers (5, 10, or 20 hours) that cover content updates, performance monitoring, security patches, and ongoing optimisation. Most clients stay on a retainer because websites are living assets, not one-off projects.
