Folio I · a web workshop
Websites, drawn to measure.
Before I write any code, I work out what you need from your website. Then I design and build the site around that.
measure the need before the page; the proportion of a thing is its whole beauty

Folio II · the aim
What do you want to achieve?
Start by telling me what the site is for. Tap the goal closest to yours and I'll note it in the margin.
Folio III · the method
From scribble to structure
Most of the work happens before anything gets built. Keep scrolling to watch a rough idea turn into a plan.
- I.ObserveWe talk about your business and your customers until I understand what the site has to do for you.
- II.MeasureI write down the pages, the features, the budget and the deadline. You get a plan and a fixed price before I start.
- III.FrameThen I design and build the site, test it on real phones and hand it over ready to run.
Folio IV · the work
From the notebooks
A few studies, each with the request I was given and what I built from it.
Study no. 1 · showcase site
A neighbourhood bakery
- the need
- “People should know we're open on Sundays.”
- framed as
- One warm page: today's hours first, the week's breads, a map. Updated from a phone in a minute.
Study no. 2 · online shop
A ceramics maker
- the need
- “I sell at markets. I'd like to sell on rainy days too.”
- framed as
- A small shop for one-off pieces: each sold item retires itself, shipping is worked out at checkout.
Study no. 3 · portfolio
An architect's practice
- the need
- “Our buildings are calm. Our current site is not.”
- framed as
- Large quiet images, almost no interface, and a project page the team fills in without a designer.
Study no. 4 · booking site
A physiotherapy clinic
- the need
- “Half our day is spent answering the phone.”
- framed as
- Three taps to book: practitioner, slot, confirm. Reminders the day before, cancellations refill themselves.
Folio V · the maker
Why work with me
- I.
One hand, start to finish
You brief me, I design and build the site, and I answer your emails myself.
- II.
Measured before it's built
We agree the scope, the price and the dates in writing before I start, so the invoice matches the quote.
- III.
Fast on a phone
I keep pages light, so they load quickly on a weak signal and read well on a small screen.
- IV.
Yours to keep
The domain, the code and the content belong to you. I also show you how to update the site yourself.
Folio VI · the cost
What it costs
These are starting prices. Once we have agreed the scope in writing, you get an exact figure and it stays fixed.
