Building my case study library: Every build booked before 31 December 2026 is 25% off the published price, in exchange for a testimonial and permission to write the project up. The standard rate is shown struck through so you can see exactly what the work is worth. Hosting and support are already at their lowest rates, so they stay as listed.
50% to book the work in, 50% before launch. Fixed quote confirmed in writing first, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
Already have a custom site? I'll host it.
Hosting built for speed and performance, not a generic WordPress plan. Lite from £8/mo, managed from £15/mo, confirmed in writing.
Custom sites
Custom site hosting, looked after
WordPress hosting is a set monthly plan. Managed custom hosting starts from £15/mo: deploys, SSL, backups, and me on the other end. Lite is the same server without the managed work, from £8/mo.
Starting from
Managed custom site hosting
Traffic and database needs vary. I confirm the exact monthly figure in writing before anything is billed.
WordPress stays on the £18/mo calculator. Lite starts at £8/mo if you would rather look after the site yourself.
- From £15/mo, confirmed in writing
- Same person who built the site
- No lock-in if you want to move
from£8/mo
confirmed in writing before anything is billed
Your site online, with a CMS login so you keep content and images current yourself.
- SSL, CDN, and deploys
- CMS login for content and images
- Platform security patching
- Weekly database backup
- Your code and domain stay yours
Not included, by design
- CMS and dependency upgrades
- Uptime checks and error alerts
- Content changes done for you
All of that sits on the managed plan, from £15/mo.
You keep content and images up to date yourself through the CMS. SSL, certificates, and platform security are handled at my end on every plan, Lite included, so there is nothing for you to patch.
Need auth, dashboards, or integrations?
That crosses into web app territory. Same clear scoping and fixed quotes before we start.
One developer, start to finish.
I build WordPress sites, custom web builds and the hosting that runs them. You work with me from first message to launch. No account manager, no hand-off.
I keep the client list deliberately small so every project gets proper time. Fixed quotes, one thread, and the finished work is yours.
