Websites for clubs, charities, creatives and small businesses
I design and build WordPress sites that load quickly, show up in search and are simple to update yourself. You deal with me from the first chat to launch day, and I explain everything in plain English. Based in Ely, working with clients across the UK.
What I can do for you
Every project is quoted at a fixed price, agreed before work starts. You own the finished site outright.
New websites
A site designed around your organisation and the people you want to reach, built on WordPress so you’re never locked in to me or anyone else.
- Works on phones, tablets and computers
- Contact and enquiry forms
- Search engine basics set up
- A training session at handover
Redesigns and rescues
If your current site is slow, dated or a struggle to update, I’ll rebuild it, bring your content across and keep your web address and search rankings intact.
- Content moved across for you
- Old links redirected, not broken
- Faster pages and cleaner layout
Care and support
Updates, backups, security checks and small content changes each month, so the site keeps working while you get on with everything else.
- WordPress and plugin updates
- Daily backups you can restore
- Help with hosting, domains and email

How a project runs
Most small sites take four to eight weeks from first chat to launch.
- A free chat We talk through what you need, who the site is for and what you already have. No jargon and no obligation.
- A fixed quote You get a written plan of pages and features with a price and timescale, agreed before any work starts.
- Design and build I design the key pages first for your feedback, then build the full site on a private preview link you can check as it grows.
- Launch and handover We go live together. You get a training session and short written guides, so you can update the site with confidence.
Hello, I’m James
I build websites for clubs, charities and local organisations from my base in Ely. I also teach Computer Science, so explaining technical things clearly is a big part of what I do every day.
Working with me means one person who knows your site inside out, from the first sketch to the last update. I’d rather build you something you can run yourself than something you have to ring me about.
- Based in Ely Happy to meet in person anywhere in Cambridgeshire, or on a video call.
- WordPress specialist The platform behind a huge share of the web, so help is never hard to find.
- Yours to keep You own the site, the domain and the content. No lock-in.
