Hi, I'm Subesh

I build websites the way I'd want one built for my own business.

I've been designing websites for more than ten years, most of them on WordPress, for local service businesses: consultants, therapists, dentists, lawyers, gyms and trades. Over 100 websites so far.

Every project starts with your business, not a template. You fill in a short questionnaire, we meet when it suits you, and I send you several design options to choose from. Then I build it, we review it together, and I stay with you for three months after launch.

  • Meetings when you're free, even early mornings or evenings
  • Several designs to choose from, not one take-it-or-leave-it
  • 3 months of free support after your site goes live

How I work

A questionnaire, four meetings, and a website you're happy with

Need it quickly? I can build a site in about a week if you're available and send your content up front.

  1. Before we meet

    Onboarding questionnaire

    A short form about your business, customers and marketing, so our first meeting starts from what you've told me.

  2. Meeting 1

    Understanding your business

    Your goals, your customers and what you want people to do on the site.

  3. Meeting 2

    You pick the design

    I show you several design options. You choose, and I build from there.

  4. Meeting 3

    Draft review

    We go through every page together and finalise it before launch.

  5. Meeting 4

    Launch and check

    We go live and test it on real phones, yours and your friends'.

Included with every website

3 months of free support after launch

Most web designers finish on launch day and charge for every change after it. For three months after your site goes live, you get three support meetings, fixes to anything that isn't working, and training so you can add pages and images yourself.
