Google also prefers fast ones, so a fast site is easier to find and more likely to turn a visit into an enquiry. ### SEO is how Google understands you Every page gets a clear title, one main heading, sensible sub-headings, descriptive image text and tidy links. Google then knows what each page is about and shows it to the right people. ### Clean code keeps it fast A website has three simple parts. HTML is the content and structure, CSS is how it looks and JavaScript is what it does. I write each by hand, keep them separate and small, and load only what a page needs. Less code means a faster, safer site that is easy to change later. Google PageSpeed Insights, mobile, home pages, run on 20 Oct 2026. Scores can move a few points between runs. ## Meet the developer behind your site. Born in Colombia, living in Greater Manchester since 2013.
