Croydon
Croydon is full of good businesses with tired websites
I live here. I write the pages, design them, and code them. From £2,500.
Walk North End. Then look the businesses up.
The shops and clinics are fine. The sites often are not. Same layout as the next town. Four seconds on a phone. Buried on page five for the search they should own.
That is not because people here are cheap. It is because they got sold a theme, some stock photos, and a bill. Six months later the plugins need updating and nobody has enquired.
I am down the road. I know who you are competing with. I start from a blank file, not a marketplace theme.
What you get
A local person, and a site you own.
- I am in Croydon
- Coffee if you want it. Email if you do not. I am not a sales desk in another country.
- I write the code
- No WordPress theme. No drag-and-drop builder. The page only carries what it needs.
- It has to be fast
- Next.js. I aim for a 95+ Lighthouse score. A pretty site that crawls on 4G is still a bad site.
- Local search is in the build
- Schema, titles, and pages aimed at the searches people type with Croydon on the end.
- You keep the files
- Code, design, content. I will not hold the site hostage if you leave.

Questions I get in Croydon
Can we do this by email?
Yes. Send the brief. If we later need a working session, we decide that once the job is clear.
How long does it take?
Most builds are 14 to 21 working days after we lock the design. Bigger jobs take longer. I put a date on it at the start.
Will I rank for searches like dentist Croydon?
I put in the foundations: clean HTML, local schema, speed, mobile. That is what Google needs to even consider you. Rankings still depend on the market. I do not sell a promise I cannot keep.
Why not WordPress or Squarespace?
Fine for a hobby. For a business they are slow, generic, and needy. I would rather give you a small, fast site you own.
Do you only work in Croydon?
No. Most of the work is South London. I will take a brief from further out if it is a fit.
What happens after launch?
30 days of tweaks are included. After that, ad-hoc changes or a monthly care plan. Hosting for the first year is in the build.
If the site is the weak link in Croydon
Send the URL and what you want to change. I will say if I am a fit.
