A Website or App Built Around the Job It Needs to Do
I am Sam, a solo developer based in Preston. I design and build websites and web applications, and can add AI where there is a clear, testable reason for it. You speak directly with the person scoping and building the work, with a written quote and plain-English handover.
from £499
Websites from £499; apps quoted after a free chat. The written scope and price are agreed before work starts.

Good questions
Do I really deal directly with the developer?
Yes. You talk to me, Sam, throughout discovery, design, development and launch. If a specialist supplier is needed, I identify them and their cost in the scope rather than introducing an unknown handover later.
How much does a website cost?
Websites start from £499, and web or mobile apps are quoted once I understand what they need to do. It's guide pricing — after a free, no-obligation chat I give you a fixed quote so you know the exact price before we start. No day rates that quietly creep up, no surprise invoices.
Can you build a web app or a mobile app, not just a website?
Yes. That can include booking systems, customer portals and internal tools. We start with the problem, then I explain whether a custom build, a proven platform or a mixture offers the best balance of cost, control and maintenance.
Will my site work on phones and load quickly?
Responsive behaviour, accessibility and performance are part of the scope and testing. The final speed also depends on content, hosting and third-party scripts, so I measure the build and explain any remaining constraints rather than claiming a perfect score in advance.
Can you add AI to my website or app?
If it helps, yes. I can add chat, search or an automation, but first we define the job, the human handover and the running cost. A simpler non-AI feature is often the better choice, and I will show you that option too.
What if I already have a website?
That's fine. I can rebuild it, redesign it, or improve the site you've got — whatever makes most sense for your budget. We'll have a look together, and I'll give you a straight recommendation rather than pushing you into a full rebuild you don't need.
Do you look after the site after it goes live?
Yes. You can request ad-hoc work or choose a website care plan with an agreed monthly allowance and response terms. Care plans run month to month with 30 days' notice, and their exact coverage is written down before launch.
How long does it take to design and build a business website or app?
The schedule depends on page count, content readiness, integrations and approval speed. After discovery I provide milestones for design, build, content, testing and launch, together with the access or decisions needed from you to keep those dates realistic.
Will I own my website, app code, domain and content?
The quote states ownership and access clearly. Your domain, accounts, supplied content and paid project-specific work are yours as agreed; reusable libraries, fonts, stock assets and hosted platforms remain subject to their own licences.
Do new websites include technical SEO and accessibility?
Semantic structure, crawlable pages, metadata, responsive behaviour and an agreed accessibility baseline are part of a professional build. Rankings and perfect compliance cannot be guaranteed, but the scope states the checks, content responsibilities and any specialist audit needed.
Can you connect payments, bookings, CRM or other third-party systems?
Yes, where the supplier offers a suitable integration and its terms fit the project. I confirm transaction fees, account ownership, data flow and failure handling before building, because the website price does not include every external licence by default.
