Fast, private websites for small businesses that just want a site that works — no bloat, no faff.

I'm Bradley, a web developer based in Bedford. I build lean, fast websites for small businesses — no tracker-heavy, over-engineered stack, and enough local SEO baked in that people can actually find you.

What I do

Websites

Fast, clean sites built to load quick and read well. No tracker sprawl, no page-builder lock-in. One to five pages, hand-built, and yours to keep.

From £250

Local SEO & getting found

Sensible page titles, structured data, a tidy Google Business Profile and copy that reads like a human wrote it — so locals actually find you. Built into the site, not sold back to you as a monthly retainer.

Built into every site

Ongoing support

Small fixes, updates and hosting help, without a bloated retainer. Pay for what you need.

Hourly or per project

About

I got into web work by fixing things that were slower and more complicated than they needed to be. That's still the job: cut the bloat, ship something quick and clear, and make it easy to run.

I work with independent traders, food businesses and local outfits who want a site they own and understand — not a monthly subscription to a page they can't edit.

I care about speed, privacy and doing the small things right.

Common questions

Why not Wix or Squarespace?

Because you never actually own the site. You pay every month for a page you can't take with you, weighed down with trackers and scripts that slow it to a crawl — and the moment you stop paying, it disappears. I charge once, hand you everything, and the site is yours for good.

Why not WordPress?

WordPress is a fine tool pointed at the wrong job. A five-page business site doesn't need a database, a stack of plugins to keep patched, or a login page for bots to hammer. Fewer moving parts means faster pages, less maintenance and less to go wrong.

What about hosting and the domain?

Sorted as part of the job, and registered in your name. You get the logins, the files and the domain — if we ever part ways, everything stays with you.

What if I need changes later?

Small fixes and updates are billed hourly or per job — no retainer. And because the site is plain HTML and CSS, any developer can pick it up, not just me.
