What web design services include here
Design and build are one job here. A web project with me covers structure, interface, development, performance and handover. You are not buying a set of screens that someone else has to rebuild; you are buying a working website, tested on real phones, with the technical basics in place from day one. I have built sites for medical equipment suppliers, fashion labels, creative studios, transport operators and SaaS products, and the pattern is always the same: decide what the site must do for the business, then design every page around that.
Structure and content architecture
A sitemap, the page types you need and copy direction for each one. This is where we decide what each page is for and how a visitor moves from first visit to enquiry.
Design and interface
Layout, type, motion and a reusable set of components, all built from your brand identity. Every section is designed for mobile first, because that is where most visitors arrive.
Build and performance
A fast, modern build with server-rendered HTML, clean URLs, a sitemap and robots file on day one, and attention to Core Web Vitals so pages load quickly on ordinary connections.
Handover and training
You own the code, the domain and the content. I walk you through updating the site and leave notes so any future developer can pick it up.
The problem with buying design and build separately
When one supplier designs and another builds, the website is decided twice. The designer makes choices in a tool that has no real content, no real devices and no real performance limits. The developer then makes a second set of choices to make it work, often without the reasoning behind the first. Animations get dropped, spacing drifts, forms get simplified and nobody owns search visibility. Every gap becomes a round of revisions, and the business pays for the same decision more than once. Designing and building in one run removes that gap: the person who decides how a page should feel is the same person who makes it load fast on a phone.
What a build looks like, stage by stage
- 01
Brief and goals
We agree what the site must do for the business and how we will know it worked. I map the pages and the main journeys.
- 02
Structure and copy
A sitemap, page outlines and copy direction. Content decisions come before visual ones so design has something real to work with.
- 03
Design
Key pages designed on desktop and mobile, then a component set that covers the rest of the site.
- 04
Build
Development, content entry, forms, analytics and search setup, tested on real devices and browsers.
- 05
Launch and handover
Go live, check everything in production and hand over the site, logins and a short guide to running it.
Every project follows the full design and build process, from brief to handover.
Technical standards every site ships with
- Semantic headings, with exactly one H1 on every page and a logical H2 and H3 structure beneath it.
- A self-referencing canonical URL on every indexable page, so search engines never guess which version is the real one.
- An XML sitemap and a robots.txt file from the first day the site is live.
- Structured data that describes the business, its services and its pages accurately.
- Descriptive alt text on every image, visible focus states and body text with at least 4.5:1 contrast.
- A target of under two seconds for the largest element on the page to load on a typical mobile connection.
What it costs and how long it takes
A single landing page starts from $600 and a multi-page website with a CMS from $1,200 on the rate card. The Grow package (from $1,500) pairs a full brand identity with a website of up to six pages, and Scale (from $2,500) covers product sites alongside a web app or dashboard. Most website builds take three to six weeks.
