in Pontefract and nearby.
Pontefract’s full of small independents, so clarity and speed matter more than flashy nonsense.
A typical project in Pontefract: A tidy brochure site for a local service business that needs to look credible and load fast.
What I can help with
-
Clear, calm, content-led sites for services, venues, charities, and local businesses.
- Simple navigation and page structure
- Clean, readable typography and layouts
- Built for phones first, not squeezed in later
-
Keep what’s worth keeping, fix what isn’t, and make the whole thing behave.
- Cleaner structure and upgraded UI
- Better performance and mobile usability
- Less friction, fewer weird surprises
-
Make the site quicker, lighter, and more reliable on real devices.
- Core Web Vitals focus (LCP, INP, CLS)
- Reduce page weight and requests
- Smoother mobile experience
-
Make pages more usable for everyone, and less risky legally.
- Keyboard and screen reader basics done properly
- Better contrast, focus states, and form usability
- Practical fixes, not vague advice
Typical problems I fix
- Slow loads (especially on mobile).
- Layouts that break, jump around, or feel awkward to use.
- Accessibility issues that block real people from using the site.
- Messy content, confusing navigation, or pages that say a lot without saying anything.
- Sites that are hard to update without breaking something.
How it works
- Quick discovery: what you do, who it’s for, what “good” looks like.
- Plan: pages, content, priorities, and a sensible scope.
- Build: clean HTML/CSS, progressive enhancement, and performance budgets.
- Checks: accessibility, responsiveness, speed, and content sanity.
- Launch: tidy handover, and optional ongoing support.

FAQs
Can we do this remotely?
Yes. Most work is done remotely and it works brilliantly. If you’re local, meeting up is optional, not mandatory.
Do you use templates or page builders?
No. I build bespoke sites with proper foundations, then keep them maintainable and easy to extend.
Can you improve an existing site instead of rebuilding?
Often, yes. If the foundations are decent, we can improve speed, accessibility and content without starting from scratch.
