One URL in. A real report out — speed, accessibility, SEO basics, conversion leaks. The same checks I run on day one of a build. No call. No pitch. No sales follow-up unless you ask for one.

Questions, answered.

What happens if you miss day 7?
Full refund within 48 hours. The deadline is the product. If I miss it, you don’t owe me anything. No kill fee, no partial, no debate.
What’s actually included in the £1,000?
Brief, bespoke design, Next.js build, QA, and launch on your domain. Domain and hosting costs you pay directly to the providers. Nothing else from me — no retainers, no upsells.
How many revisions do I get?
One round, same week. Built into the schedule. Scope changes that break the seven-day window roll into a second sprint at a fresh quote.
Who owns the code when it’s done?
You do. Fully. The repository transfers to your GitHub, the Vercel project to your account, and the domain stays on your registrar. No lock-in.
What kind of sites is this not right for?
Multi-thousand-page catalogues, heavy e-commerce with bespoke checkout, or anything blocked by someone else’s integration roadmap. I’ll flag it on the discovery call — no obligation if it’s not a fit.
How much does a website cost in the UK in 2026?
Anywhere from £0 (DIY Squarespace) to £50,000+ (mid-sized agency). A bespoke small-business site from a solo studio or experienced freelancer runs £1,000–£3,000 flat. I charge £1,000. Full breakdown of tiers, timelines, and five-year totals in the UK website cost guide.
What is a bespoke website, exactly?
A bespoke website is designed from scratch for one business, hand-coded in a real framework, and owned outright by the buyer. Not a template with your logo on. Long version in what a bespoke website actually is.
Squarespace, Wix, or bespoke — which should I pick?
Squarespace for design-led small businesses on a budget. Wix for flexibility and extensions. Bespoke when speed, distinctiveness, or ownership matters commercially. Honest comparison with pricing and Lighthouse numbers in Squarespace vs Wix vs bespoke.
Where are you based? Do you work remotely?
UK-based, remote-first. I work with clients across Great Britain over email, a shared brief doc, and one short call on Monday. No mandatory meetings, no “workshop days”.
How do I pay? Is it safe to pay upfront?
Bank transfer or Stripe invoice. Paid upfront, in full, before work starts. The refund guarantee is the safety mechanism — if I miss day seven, you get 100% back within 48 hours. No deposits, no milestone gating.
What happens after day seven — do you offer ongoing support?
No retainers. The site is yours. If you want changes later, book a second sprint at a fresh quote, or hand it to any developer — the code is standard Next.js + React and documented.
Do you do the copywriting and photography?
I handle copy polishing— you bring the substance, I tighten the words. Photography isn’t included. Bring real photos or commission them separately; I’ll never use stock imagery on a bespoke site.
Will my site pass Core Web Vitals and WCAG accessibility?
Yes. Every site ships with a Lighthouse score of 95+ across all four categories on mobile, LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1, and WCAG 2.2 AA. These aren’t optional — they’re in the pre-launch checklist.
Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Copy edits: yes — I set up a simple config file or Markdown so you can change wording without touching code. Structural changes (new pages, layout rethinks): those need a developer, which can be me or anyone else.
