Common questions, answered straight.

Yes. Once the final invoice is paid, the website and its content belong to you outright — including the source files and your domain, which is always registered in your own name.

Most Essential and Standard builds take 2–4 weeks from our first call to launch, depending on how quickly content and feedback come back from your side. Advanced or fully custom builds usually take 4–8 weeks.

Security and software updates, uptime monitoring, and ongoing edits and content changes — what's covered depends on which tier you choose. See the Pricing section on the homepage for details.

Every project is a different size — a 5-page brochure site and a booking-enabled site with 20 pages cost different amounts to build properly. The prices on this site are genuine starting points; you'll get an exact number after we discuss what you actually need.

Yes — every project starts with a simple agreement covering scope, cost and timeline, so there are no surprises for either of us. Monthly Website Care plans are cancel-any-time, with 30 days' notice.

Mostly WordPress, since it gives you full ongoing control of your own content without depending on me for every change. Some projects are built as fully custom code where that's a better fit — we'll agree which makes sense for your project upfront.

I can handle the hosting and domain management of your website if you would like, or if you prefer, I can point you toward reliable hosting and manage the technical setup of an account in your name.

Good question to ask before hiring any solo freelancer. Your domain is always registered in your own name, never mine, so you're never locked out of your own identity. Everything is backed up and documented as I go, and if you ever want to move hosting elsewhere, I'll hand over a full export — no questions asked. You're never depending on me for anything you can't take with you.

You're free to at any time — since you own the site, it goes with you. I'd just ask for 30-days notice on any active Website Care plan.

I manage Google and Meta ad campaigns directly myself — no outsourcing, no agency middlemen.

I aim to get back to you within 24hrs, but sometimes it can take up to 48hrs.

My office is based in Brighton & Hove and work with independent businesses across Brighton and Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, Lewes and the wider Sussex area. Most of the work happens remotely, so being further afield isn't a problem — but being local means I can meet in person when it helps.
