Web design + SEO · Since 1996

Good websites. Made with care.

Thoughtful strategy. A website that feels like you. And the same person looking after the thread from the first idea to being found.

Bespoke web design & search, considered together.

Every website, cut to measure.
Every strategy, built by hand.

FOR INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES
& THE AGENCIES BEHIND THEM.

Two disciplines. One practice.

FROM THE FIRST THOUGHT TO WHAT COMES NEXT.

TAILORED WEB

Tailored Web

Strategy, design and development in the same thread. From a complex corporate website to ecommerce, the structure begins with what people and the business need.

THE CRAFTSMAN / ROB

A little more human by design.

I like work that feels like it belongs to someone. A website with a clear purpose, its own character and the details that make it useful. That starts with a conversation, not a catalogue of layouts.

I’ve been building for the web since 1996. Today I bring strategy, design, development and search into one independent practice, working directly with businesses or alongside an agency’s team. The tools evolve. The care stays.

FROM THE WORKING TABLE

Field Notes

A few thoughts on good websites, better questions and finding a thoughtful way through search.

Proposed articles, awaiting approval.

Before the layout, ask the better questions.

A useful brief makes the reason for the website explicit. The first task is naming the problem, rather than choosing a colour.

SEO starts with the shape of your website.

Giving each page a job and making relationships between topics visible helps build a more understandable website.

A clearer voice in AI search.

Describing precisely who you are, what you do and which problems you address is a practical starting point, even as search experiences change.
