Before — Template site

  • Looks like a thousand others
  • Heavy page builder, slow to load
  • Hard for search engines to read
  • Breaks when you try to edit it

After — Custom build

  • Designed around your brand
  • Hand-written and fast
  • Structured for search from day one
  • Edit words and pictures yourself

What's included.

  • 01

    Design around the brand

    Layouts, type and motion made for this site, instead of a theme with your logo dropped in.

  • 02

    Hand-written code

    Clean HTML, CSS and TypeScript with no page builder in the way, so pages stay light and quick.

  • 03

    Every screen

    Built and checked on phones, tablets, laptops and big monitors, portrait and landscape.

  • 04

    Technical SEO

    Titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemaps, share images and clean URLs, set up properly.

  • 05

    Speed & Core Web Vitals

    Optimised images, fonts and scripts, tuned until the page loads and settles fast.

  • 06

    Accessibility

    Semantic markup, keyboard support, readable contrast and motion that respects reduced-motion settings.

  • 07

    Editable content

    Change copy, images and listings yourself, without touching code or waiting on me.

  • 08

    Hosting, DNS & SSL

    Domain, DNS, certificates and deploys handled, on fast edge hosting.

How it runs.

  1. Step 01

    Discover

    What the business does, who it's for, and what the site needs to make them do.

  2. Step 02

    Design

    We work out the look, layout and motion together before I write any production code.

  3. Step 03

    Build

    Hand-built, responsive and fast, with SEO and accessibility in from the first commit.

  4. Step 04

    Launch & look after

    Domain, hosting and analytics set up, then fixes and improvements after it's live.

The proof.

Good questions.

It depends on the number of pages and how ready the content is. A focused marketing site usually takes a few weeks; larger sites take longer. You'll have a timeline before anything starts.

No. Every site is designed for the business and written by hand, which is what keeps it fast, distinctive and easy to grow.

Yes. Text, images and things like listings or team members can be edited from an admin area, so day-to-day changes don't need a developer.

The technical side is built in: fast pages, clean markup, metadata, structured data, a sitemap and share images. Rankings also depend on your content and competition, and I'm happy to help with that too.

Yes. I'll keep what's working (your URLs, content and search rankings) and rebuild the rest so nothing you've earned is lost in the move.

Yes. I can set up and manage the domain, DNS, SSL and hosting, or work with what you already have.

I stick around. Fixes, small changes, new features and the servers underneath. Most of my work doesn't end at launch, and I'd rather keep looking after something I built than hand it off and disappear.

Send a short note through the contact form or email me@dylanlambertson.dev with what you have in mind. I'll reply myself, ask a few questions, and come back with a plan, a timeline and a price before any work starts.
