Made for you
I design every site around your needs, your goals and your style. If your business needs bookings, payments, members or dashboards, I build them in, so the site does real work for you.
What I do
Websites that work as systems, made for one client at a time.
I do not sell one-size-fits-all packages. I learn what your business needs, then I build, host and look after the website, and the tools around it, that solves your problems. Clear prices, a direct line to me and no agency layers.
Pricing
Clear prices. No surprises.
I tell you the cost before I start any work.

Hosting
Hosting, handled.
One yearly price. I keep your site up to date and backed up, and you have a person to ask: me.
What it includes
- MODX only, 100% tuned. I administer the hosting myself and tune it for MODX sites only, so they run faster and safer.
- One WhatsApp. Message me and I handle the rest. Email or a call work too.
- Security maintenance. I keep a firewall, a web firewall and MODX rate limits current and watched, so attacks are stopped before they reach your site.
- Daily backups. I copy them off the server, so there is always a recent copy to restore.
Good to know
- From £200 a year. The final price depends on your site, and I give it to you in writing first.
- You own your domain. It stays in your name throughout.
- Email is separate. I recommend Google Workspace and can set it up, which keeps your email safe from any website issue.
- No call centre. I admin the full hosting, so any change goes directly through me, with nobody in between. MODX 2 and 3 sites only.
How I work
A site that does what you need.
Fast, safe and easy to edit, because that is the minimum I expect from my own work.
⚡
Fast and easy to use
I make it quick to load and easy to navigate, so visitors get a great experience on any device.
⚲
Search friendly
I use clean markup, a sensible structure and SEO tools built in, so your audience can find you.
✎
Easy updates
You edit pages, add content and publish whenever you need, without calling a developer.
✈
Training
I show you how to manage the site so you can add content and take good care of it with confidence.
✦
Honest, friendly service
I keep communication open at every step, by email, WhatsApp or video call, and deliver what we agreed.
Not for everyone, on purpose.
I do not do WordPress and I do not use pre-made templates. Every website is unique, designed and built from scratch around your brand, and I only work with MODX 2.x and MODX 3. If you want the cheapest template as fast as possible, I am probably not the right person. If you want a site that solves your real problems, let’s talk.
Custom builds
Need something bigger than a website? I build that too.
A website can be a full system. These are products I built and run myself: real software in production, not mockups.
Booking platform
letmebookyouin.com
Book anything. A booking platform for teachers, studios and any kind of business that wants to take reservations and payments online without a heavy booking suite.
Each business gets its own space where members book classes and services, pay a deposit or use credits, and manage their bookings. Owners add the booking widget to their own site, send courtesy places and get an installable app with notifications.
- Deposits and class credits
- Embeddable booking widgets
- Installable app with push notifications

IoT platform
mrsanmiguel.com
A real-time IoT platform. Devices connect securely over MQTT, their data is stored as time series and shown on live dashboards, and a rules engine reacts to readings the moment they arrive.
It is multi-tenant, so each customer sees only their own devices, and it includes user management and a support ticket system. The portal itself runs on MODX.
- Secure MQTT device connections
- Live dashboards and a rules engine
- Separate space for every customer

Process
New site or existing site.
Creating a website should be an enjoyable, stress-free experience. Here is how you and I work together.
New website
- Get in touch. Tell me about your project, your ideas and your goals.
- Cost estimate. I send a clear quote and timeline, so you know what to expect.
- Agreement and payment. A 50% deposit starts the work. Hourly projects are billed every 5 to 10 hours.
- Content and style. You send text, images and brand guidelines, plus examples of sites you like.
- Design. I design the key pages and we refine them together.
- Development. I build on a private, password-protected link you can open any time.
- Training and launch. I teach you MODX, test performance, then your site goes live.
- Future additions. Add features or pages whenever you need. You own your domain throughout.
Existing website
- Get in touch. Tell me what needs improving or fixing and I will investigate causes and ideas.
- Estimate. I give you an approximate price and number of hours. If it changes, I tell you why before it does.
- Payment. Billed every 5 to 10 hours, so invoices stay small.
- Testing and warranty. You run all the tests. If something I did needs fixing, I fix it.
Only websites built on MODX 2.x or 3.
