Speed and SEO
Why is my website slow? (And what to do about it)
A slow website costs you visitors and enquiries. Here are the most common causes, how to check your own site, and what usually fixes it.
Web development
Fast, reliable websites built with clean code and a CMS you'll actually enjoy using.
Solid builds, no shortcuts
A great design only works if it's built properly. I hand-code every site, so it loads quickly, is easy for search engines to read, and doesn't fall over when you add a new page.
I pick the right tool for each project – Statamic, Laravel, Next.js or WordPress – rather than forcing everything into one platform. Whatever it's built on, you'll get an easy way to manage your content.
What I build
-
Business websites
Professional sites that explain what you do and turn visitors into enquiries.
-
Content-managed sites
A user-friendly CMS so you can update text, images and pages yourself.
-
Online shops
E-commerce builds on Shopify, WooCommerce, Statamic or fully custom.
-
Integrations
Connecting your site to booking systems, CRMs, payment providers and other services.
-
Performance work
Speeding up slow sites and fixing Core Web Vitals, so visitors and Google are both happy.
-
APIs and headless builds
Decoupled front ends and APIs when a project needs that extra flexibility.
-
Lightning fast
Lean code and optimised images, so pages load quickly on any connection.
-
Secure and up to date
Sensible security practices, with updates and backups as standard.
-
Tested everywhere
Checked across browsers and devices before anything goes live.
How I work
What I will do
Make sure it looks good and works properly on all devices
Write clean code that search engines can actually read
Keep things fast so visitors aren't left waiting
Give you a way to update content yourself
Be around after launch if you need help
What I won't do
Use page builders that slow everything down
Pile on plugins when a simple solution will do
Hand you a generic template and call it done
Put your site on cheap hosting that lets you down
Rush things and deliver something half-finished
