Why switch

DIY builders get you started — then get in the way

Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and the rest are fine for a first attempt. Here's what tends to catch up with people who stay on one.

The subscription keeps climbing

Builder plans creep up year after year, and you're still the one doing the editing yourself — you're paying more for the same amount of your own time.

It still looks like a template — because it is one

Customers see the same layouts across dozens of other local businesses. A hand-built site is built around yours, not fitted into someone else's block editor.

Bloated code slows everything down

Page-builder platforms load a lot of scripts you'll never use. Hand-written HTML has nothing to strip out — it's just fast from the start.

The alternative

There's a faster way to get online

Here's how switching to me actually compares to staying on a builder, or going to an agency instead.

How switching works

From your current builder to live —
in 4 simple steps

You start your switch

No cost to switch — just confirm your £20/month via Stripe. That starts things moving straight away.

Send me your current site

A short form covers your business and where your current site lives — Wix, Squarespace, wherever — so I know what I'm working from.

Your site gets rebuilt, personally

Hand-written HTML, keeping what's working and tidying up what isn't — live in 3–5 business days.

You switch over when you're ready

Your current site keeps running the whole time — nothing changes for visitors until you point your domain at the new one.

Built for speed

Loads instantly on any phone, so customers can call you in one tap

Your new site opens straight away, every time — no spinner, no half-loaded page. Not a page-builder loading its own editor scripts on top of your content, just lean, hand-written code that's fast from the start.

Questions

Good to know

No catch — this is a genuine, ongoing offer for anyone switching over from a DIY builder. Everything else stays the same as my standard offer: I build every site personally, no agency overheads, and monthly edits are included in your £20/mo, not charged separately.

Yes. Send me a link to your current site along with your business details in the form after checkout, and I'll rebuild it by hand — keeping what's working and tidying up what isn't, rather than starting from a blank page.

It stays exactly as it is — nothing changes for your visitors until your new site's ready and you're happy to point your domain at it. There's no gap where you're offline.

No long-term contract. The £20/mo covers hosting and your edits and runs month to month — either of us can end it any time, with reasonable notice, so nothing's taken offline without warning.

3–5 business days from your details landing with me to a live site. Long enough to get it right, short enough that your momentum doesn't fade.
