Question 1

How much does a bespoke website cost?

Accepted Answer

I believe in transparency. My custom brochure websites typically start from £500. For more complex projects like E-commerce, Recruitment Portals, or Booking Systems, I offer a fixed-price quote after a quick discovery call. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Question 2

Do you charge monthly fees?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Wix or Yell, I do not charge mandatory monthly rental fees for the website itself. Once it is built, you own it. You only pay for hosting (approx £10-£20/year) and your domain name.

Question 3

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For larger projects (over £1,500), I typically split payment into milestones: 50% deposit to start, and 50% upon completion and launch.

Question 4

Why choose custom code (React/Next.js) over WordPress or Wix?

Accepted Answer

Speed and Google Rankings. Platforms like WordPress rely on heavy plugins that slow down your site and create security holes. I hand-code your site using Next.js (the same tech used by Netflix and TikTok), ensuring it loads instantly and ranks higher on Google.

Question 5

I have a Wix site. Can I move to you without losing SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I specialise in Wix-to-Custom migrations. I perform a full SEO audit and set up '301 Redirects' for every single page, ensuring you keep your hard-earned Google rankings when we switch over.

Question 6

Will my website work on mobile phones?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I design 'Mobile First.' Since over 70% of local searches happen on phones, I ensure your menus, buttons, and galleries work perfectly on iPhone and Android before we even look at the desktop version.

Question 7

Do you provide hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I use high-performance UK-based cloud hosting (like Vercel or Krystal). This ensures your data stays in the UK and your site loads fast for local customers.

Question 8

Where are you based? Can we meet in person?

Accepted Answer

I am based in New Eltham (SE9). I serve the entire South East London area including Sidcup, Bromley, Bexleyheath, and Orpington. I am happy to meet for a coffee to discuss your project face-to-face.

Question 9

Do you outsource your work overseas?

Accepted Answer

Never. I am a local freelance developer. Every line of code is written by me, here in London. You will never be passed to a support ticket system or a call centre.

Question 10

I've been ghosted by developers before. How are you different?

Accepted Answer

I live here. My reputation in the local community is my livelihood. I provide a direct WhatsApp line to all my clients, so you can reach me instantly if you have a question.

Web Design. Face to Face.
