Taking on new projects

Your broken website,
fixed in days.

I fix the websites that are quietly costing small businesses customers. Broken layouts, slow loading, dead SEO, ageing platforms — audited free within 24 hours, most fixes live within 48. And you don’t pay a penny until it is.

  • No upfront cost — pay when it’s fixed
  • One engineer, start to finish
  • You keep every account & line of code

Real checks against your live page. No email needed, nothing stored.

Works with

  • WordPress
  • Shopify
  • Webflow
  • Squarespace
  • Next.js
  • React
  • WooCommerce
  • Wix
  • Laravel
  • Ghost
  • Astro
  • Magento

[01] Proof

What “broken” actually looks like.

Drag the handle. This is a demonstration rather than a client case study — but every fault on the left is one I genuinely get called about: headings spilling out of their container, a nav knocked out of line, cards that don’t share a baseline, and vitals in the red.

[02] Services

Everything that’s wrong with your site. One person, one invoice.

Pick a single fix or hand me the whole thing. Either way you get one engineer, a price agreed in advance, and a date.

  • Website repair

    Same-day triage for emergencies

    White screens, 500s, broken checkouts, forms that silently swallow leads, plugin conflicts, expired certificates. I find the real cause, not the symptom.

    • Plain-English write-up of the cause
  • Display & layout fixes

    Cross-browser & real-device checks

    Content overflowing on mobile, wonky breakpoints, Safari-only bugs, images stretching, text colliding. Tested on real devices, not just a resized window.

    • Pixel-accurate responsive rebuilds
  • Performance tuning

    Sub-1s load times as the target

    Render-blocking scripts, unoptimised images, bloated themes, no caching, chatty third-party tags. I keep going until Core Web Vitals are in the green.

    • Before/after Lighthouse report
  • SEO that actually indexes

    Full technical audit

    Technical SEO first: crawlability, sitemaps, canonical chaos, thin metadata, schema markup, local listings and the redirects your last migration broke.

    • Google Business Profile & local setup
  • Upgrades & rebuilds

    Staged, reversible cut-overs

    Stuck on an ancient PHP, an abandoned theme or a host that keeps falling over? I modernise it, or rebuild it properly, without losing your URLs.

    • Redirect maps so rankings survive
  • Security & upkeep

    Backups configured properly

    Malware clean-up, hardening, off-site backups and updates, so the thing I fixed stays fixed. Ongoing upkeep by arrangement — no subscription to sign.

    • Updates handled on request

[03] Your account

Stop digging through email. It’s all in one place.

Every client gets a private account centre. Invoices, receipts, anything recurring, the preview of the site I’m building you, and one message thread with me — without a single “can you resend that?” email.

Homepage is looking great. Can we make the phone number bigger on mobile?

You · 2 Aug 2026

Have a click around— that’s the actual account centre running on sample data for a made-up joinery firm. Yours looks the same, with your work in it.

  • Watch your site being built

    A private preview link for the work in progress, live from day one. Open it on your own phone, send it to a colleague, tell me what to change. Nothing touches your real site until you have said yes.

  • Every invoice, and every PDF

    What is owed, what is paid, what it was for, line by line. Download the PDF of any invoice years later without asking me to dig it out of an inbox.

  • Anything recurring, in plain sight

    If you are ever on an ongoing plan you see the price, the date it next bills and how to stop it. No card on file, no automatic renewal you have to catch.

  • One thread instead of forty emails

    Questions, bugs, changes — all in one place, kept permanently. Six months from now you can still check what was agreed rather than searching your inbox for it.

No password to forget, either — you enter your email and I send you a link. And it costs nothing extra: it comes with the job.

[04] Pricing

Portfolio prices, honestly.
Nothing to pay until it’s done.

Starting estimates for typical jobs, not a fixed menu. Your audit comes back with one exact figure — and once you’ve agreed it, it doesn’t move. You’re invoiced after the work is live, never before it begins.

  • No deposit
  • No setup fee
  • No card up front
  • Pay on completion

Every figure above is an estimate, billed only once the work is live and signed off. Something bigger or stranger than the three boxes? Send it over and I’ll scope it properly rather than guess.

The standard

Judge me on this site.

Every developer says they build fast, accessible websites. Mine is sitting in front of you — so check it rather than take my word for it. Tab through it without a mouse, open the source, or run it through Google’s own tool:

Google PageSpeed Insights · smiths-seo.co.uk

PerformancePerformance: 100 out of 100
AccessibilityAccessibility: 100 out of 100
Best practicesBest practices: 100 out of 100
SEOSEO: 100 out of 100
Agentic browsingAgentic browsing: 2 of 2 checks passed

Desktop run. Don’t take my word for it — run the test yourself. It takes about thirty seconds and it’s free.

These are the same standards every site I build is held to.
