Web Designer & Developer

Hi, I'm Ned — I build websites for businesses that don't have one yet.

I design and code fast, good-looking websites from scratch — no templates, no page builders. Based near Birmingham, UK, I've already built and launched a full run of live local-business sites, shown below.

A bit about me

I got into this by noticing something simple: a lot of great local businesses in Northfield and the wider Birmingham area still don't have a website — or have one that hasn't been touched in years. So I started building them proper ones myself, on spec, to show owners exactly what's possible.

Every project on this page is a real, working website I designed and coded by hand — HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no frameworks, no bloat, fast to load on a phone in a shop doorway. I write the copy to fit the actual business, not a generic template, and I test every link and button before I call anything finished.

If you run a business without a website — or with one that isn't pulling its weight — I'd like to build the next one.

What I do

End-to-end: design, copy, code, and getting it live.

🎨

Web Design

Layouts built around the business, not a recycled template — distinct look and feel per client.

💻

Front-End Development

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Lightweight, fast-loading, no unnecessary dependencies.

📱

Mobile-First & Responsive

Every site is built and tested for the phone-in-hand customer first, desktop second.

✍️

Business-Specific Copy

I write the words to match how the business actually talks about itself — not filler text.

🗺️

Maps, Reviews & Trust Signals

Live map embeds, review sections, and owner/team touches that make a site feel real.

🚀

Deployment

Sites go live on real hosting with a real URL — not a mockup that stays on a hard drive.

🧰

Research & Dev Tooling

I dig into a handful of real sites in a business's niche before designing anything, and I lean on modern AI-assisted dev tooling to move fast without cutting corners on quality.

Recent work

Eight local Northfield businesses, eight live websites — built to show what's possible.
