Nowt fancy. Proper websites. Polish builder.
A website you own outright. Live in weeks, not months.
I design, write and hand-code websites for UK businesses that have outgrown rented platforms. One pair of hands, no agency in between — typically three to four weeks from first call to launch.
/* scroll — and the lights come on */
You’ve outgrown your digital real estate.
Most established businesses rent their websites: thirty pounds a month to a US corporation for a template that loads like a tractor — or agency purgatory, waiting on a junior account manager to reply to an email.
You don’t need a discovery workshop and a monthly retainer, you see? You need a craftsman who turns up, does the job meticulously, and leaves no mess behind.
The process — four steps, no theatre.
- You share the raw materials.
Word docs, phone photos, midnight voice notes, the half-finished copy you wrote for the last designer. It doesn’t need to be tidy. Extracting your message and writing the UK English copy is my job — you won’t write a word.
- One proper conversation.
No timer, no worksheet. Then one strategic blueprint — not three templates to mix and match — agreed before a single line of code is written.
- I engineer the build.
Hand-coded HTML and CSS, self-hosted fonts, a palette drawn from your brand, zero page-builder bloat. You review on a private staging link, on your own phone.
- I launch and hand over.
Cloudflare’s global network: sub-second load times, automatic SSL, and almost no attack surface — a static site has no database or plugin layer to exploit.
24 kilobytes versus 5 megabytes.
A typical page-builder site makes your visitors download megabytes of framework and plugin code before the headline even appears. My last build shipped 24 KB of hand-written CSS and JavaScript — the whole site, fonts aside, is lighter than a single stock photo.
It loads on a patchy connection in the Dales. It doesn’t break when a plugin updates. It never charges you rent. It just works.
You own it. Outright. Forever.
The code, the domain, the infrastructure — plain files in a repository, in your name. No licence, no lock-in, no exit interview. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, your website doesn’t notice.
That is the whole business model, and this page is built the same way — view source if you like.
Proof, not adjectives: The Unrushed Mind.
A psychology-led coaching practice needed out of Wix, and into something that actually felt unrushed — before her next workshop. Day 1 conversation to a live site on Day 4: 24 KB of hand-written code, zero email downtime, every legacy URL mapped, hosting at £0 a month.
Fixed prices, published openly.
The Authority Build
From £2,800 · typically 3–4 weeks
One proper conversation, all the copy written for you, design, code and launch. You never face a blank page.
The Platform Escape
From £3,500 · typically 3–4 weeks
Everything above, plus zero-downtime email migration, every old URL mapped, and the platform cancelled for you — retention maze included.
The Executive Teardown
£500
A ruthless five-page audit of your current site. Credited in full if you hire me; yours to keep if you don’t.
The Authority Retainer
£200/month · or £2,000/year
Hosting, monitoring, updates within 48 hours, and a quarterly review of how you appear in search and AI answers.
Every build: 50% to book the slot, 50% on launch day. No net-30, no chasing invoices.
Not every job is a Proper Pages job. If yours needs an online shop, or something you’ll update daily, I’ll tell you straight — and point you to someone who does that better.
The Polish builder of websites.
I’m Tomasz. In the UK, the Polish builder is an archetype: highly skilled, meticulously tidy, entirely immune to cowboy nonsense. That is the standard I work to — in code.
One pair of hands, start to finish: the person who answers your first message is the person who writes your copy, codes your site and sends the invoice. Five builds a month, maximum — arithmetic, not scarcity marketing. I keep UK hours from Jaca, in the Spanish Pyrenees, and invoice in pounds with reverse-charge VAT wording your finance team will recognise and ignore in equal measure.
Let’s build something proper.
No contact form — deliberately. WhatsApp, email or a call: you get me, directly, and I reply the same working day, eight to four your time. I’m an hour ahead in Spain, which mostly means I’ve read your message before you’ve finished lunch.
“Hi Tomasz — I run [business] in [town]. Here’s my site: [url]. The thing that bothers me most is [one honest sentence].”
That is genuinely all I need to come back with a fixed price and a date within 48 hours. If my diary is full, I’ll tell you when the next slot opens rather than pretend otherwise.
