Fast by architecture, not by accident.
Every site is built on modern static-first frameworks, self-hosted on infrastructure you own, and optimised to load before your visitor's thumb lifts off the screen.
A website that loads in under a second, scores 98+ on Lighthouse, and belongs entirely to you. Not rented from Squarespace. Not locked into WordPress. Not dependent on anyone else's servers or pricing whims.
How a project works.
Discovery call
30 minutes. We talk about your business, your customers, and what you actually need. I'll be honest about whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll tell you who is.
Architecture + proposal
I map out the technical architecture, page structure, and timeline. You get a detailed proposal with fixed pricing — no hourly surprises. We agree on scope before I write a single line of code.
Design + build
I design and build simultaneously — no separate 'design phase' with static mockups you can't interact with. You see real, working pages as they come together, and we iterate in real time.
Review + refine
Full walkthrough of the finished site. We test every page on every device. You flag anything that doesn't feel right. Revisions are included — this isn't a gotcha.
Deploy + handoff
Site goes live on your own infrastructure. I handle DNS, SSL, analytics, and Google Business setup. You get documentation on how everything works and how to update content.
Support
Included support period (1-3 months depending on package). After that, ongoing maintenance is available if you want it. You're never locked in.
Technology choices matter.
Astro
Static-first framework that ships zero JavaScript by default. Your pages load instantly because there's nothing to download. Interactive components hydrate only when needed.
React / Next.js
For sites that need dynamic features — booking systems, admin panels, dashboards. Server components keep it fast; client components add interactivity where it matters.
Self-hosted VPS
Your site runs on a server you control, not on someone else's cloud with their pricing. OVH infrastructure in Canada — your data stays in-country.
Caddy + Docker
Automatic HTTPS, zero-downtime deploys, and containerised services that can be moved anywhere. No vendor lock-in at any level of the stack.
