№ 01 · The profile
One person in Preston, hand-building sites that actually get used.
I am Jamal Ahmed. This is a solo, independent web studio in Preston, Lancashire. No agency, no account managers, no offshore template farm. Just one developer who designs it, codes it and stands behind it.
By the numbers
I kept seeing brilliant local businesses, plumbers who answer at 11pm, barbers with queues out the door, let down by websites that did them no justice, or stuck with no site at all and losing work to whoever happened to rank first.
So I built a studio around a simple, honest idea: I will make you a real, bespoke homepage for your business, live on the web, before you owe me anything. If it does not make you want the site, no hard feelings and no bill. That one thing changes the whole relationship, because I have to earn it, not sell it.
Everything is hand-coded, not poured out of a page builder. That is what keeps these sites fast, findable and genuinely yours to own. Pricing starts at £249 and you always know the number before any work begins.
I am not trying to become an agency. I would rather stay small, keep the quality where I want it, and be someone you can actually get hold of.
What that means for you
- A free, bespoke homepage demo before you pay anything
- Plain pricing from £249, agreed in writing up front
- Hand-coded, not a template, and usually live in days
- Local SEO and structured data built in from the start
- One person who owns the whole thing, start to finish
№ 02 · The method
How I work
You get a real demo first
Before you pay a penny, I build you an actual bespoke homepage for your business, live on the web. Not a template, not a mock-up, not a slide. You click it on your phone and decide from there.
Plain pricing, agreed up front
Sites start from £249. You know the number before we start, it goes in a short written agreement, and there are no surprise line items at the end.
Hand-coded, and quick
Every site is written by hand, not dragged together in a builder. That is what keeps it fast, findable and genuinely yours. Most starter sites are live within days of a yes.
Built to be found
Local SEO and structured data are baked in from the start, so Google and AI assistants understand who you are, what you do and where you work.
№ 03 · The proof
Proof I can build real things
The strongest thing I can offer is not a pitch, it is products I built and still run in production, with real people using them and real money moving through them. Payments, payouts and the edge cases are the hard part of software, and I run them live, not in a demo.
The same standards go into a £249 site for a local trade. You are not getting a scaled-down version of the work, you are getting the same person and the same care.
№ 04 · The principles
What I hold to
Honesty over polish
No fake reviews, no invented star ratings, no stock clients pretending to be yours. If your site shows a 5.0 rating, it is because you earned one on Google.
Craft underneath, not just on top
Fast load times, real SEO markup, GDPR-respecting forms, backups. The parts you cannot see are the parts I am pickiest about.
Speed without cutting corners
Hand-coding is quick when you know the tools. A starter site is usually designed, built and live within days, not months of back-and-forth.
One person you can reach
I design it, build it, answer the email and take responsibility for it. If something is outside what I do, I will tell you straight and point you somewhere better.
Let me build you one, free, before you decide.
Tell me about your business and I will build a bespoke homepage demo for it. No cost, no commitment, no catch.
