Read the case studyWhat do you need your website to do?
Present your services
A professional website that explains what you offer, who it is for and how to get in touch.
Launch something new
A landing page for a service or project, with a clear message and a specific next step.
Give your current website a fresh start
Review its structure, content and design, then decide what to keep and what to rebuild.
The work behind your website
Design, development and a careful launch.
Structure and content
We organise your pages around what your visitors need to understand. We agree who provides the copy, images and translations before starting.
Design and mobile experience
A visual direction suited to your work, with readable content, clear navigation and attention to keyboard use and accessibility.
A fast, easy-to-use website
Pages that load quickly, readable images and contact options that are easy to find. I check the experience on mobile and desktop so visitors can get to what they need.
Ready to be found
I organise the pages around your services and configure the technical SEO to help search engines discover and understand them. The proposal also covers how the site will be published on your domain.
Google and AI search
Make your content easy to find and understand.
Your website should answer the questions customers ask: what you do, who you help and how to hire you. I organise that information and take care of the technical setup so search engines can access and understand your pages.
Search rankings and mentions in AI answers depend on external systems. The service covers the agreed implementation and checks; it does not guarantee positions or citations.
See how I work on SEOHow we work together
From the first conversation to publication.
Tell me what you need
Your activity, the purpose of the website, what you already have and any budget or timing constraints.
We agree the scope
Pages, features, content responsibilities, revisions, price and delivery dates, set out in a proposal before development.
I design and build
We review the visual direction and content, then I develop the website and check it across screen sizes.
We review and publish
We check links, contact methods and the agreed SEO setup. You receive the handover and an explanation of how updates will work.
Before we start
How much does a website cost?
A landing page and a website with multiple services, languages and integrations involve different amounts of work. Tell me what you need and I’ll prepare a quote with a clear breakdown of what it includes.
Do I need to provide copy and images?
Your service information, logo and any photos you have are the starting point. If material is missing, we identify it early. Copywriting, photography and translation are separate services unless included in the quote.
Will I be able to update the website?
The websites I deliver do not include an editing dashboard. Changing text, images or pages requires editing the project’s code or content files and publishing it again. If you are not comfortable doing that, you will need me or another developer to make the changes; that work is quoted separately.
What if I need to edit content frequently myself?
Mention it before we start. This service is intended for websites maintained through code. If you need to publish or change content from a dashboard, we should assess a different solution. Astro can integrate with a content management system, but that is not included in this service.
What about hosting and maintenance?
The domain is your web address; hosting keeps the site online. Both may involve recurring costs. Maintenance covers later work, such as updating dependencies, fixing issues or adding content, and is separate from the initial development.
How long will it take?
Having the copy and images ready helps the project move forward. The number of pages, custom features and time needed for feedback also affect delivery. If you have a launch date, mention it in your first email so I can assess whether it is feasible.
Let’s start with your idea
What would you like your website to do?
Tell me what you do, whether you already have a website and what you would like to improve. If you have a budget or date in mind, include it in your email.
