A Personal Website That's Actually Yours
Your work deserves somewhere better than a profile page you don't control. We build personal and portfolio sites that load fast, read beautifully on a phone, and put your name — not a platform's — at the top of the page.
- Your own domain, registered in your name and owned by you
- Work shown at full quality, in the order you choose
- No trackers watching your visitors, and no ads beside your work
- Built to be found: correct metadata, structured data, real speed
🎯 Who this is for
One page or twenty — the point is the same
A personal site is the one link you can put on a CV, a business card, an email signature, or a profile bio, and know it says exactly what you want it to.
Freelancers & consultants
What you do, who you do it for, proof that you can, and an obvious way to get in touch. That is the whole job of the page.
Job seekers
A live CV that a recruiter can read on a phone in ten seconds, with your projects linked and your contact details right there.
Writers & speakers
One place that collects your published work, talks, and appearances, instead of asking people to hunt across five platforms.
Developers & engineers
Projects presented properly — what the problem was, what you built, what it does — with clean code you're happy to have people inspect.
Anyone starting out
You don't need a large site to look professional. A single well-built page beats an empty five-page template every time.
🔑 Owned, not rented
The difference a site you own makes
Website builders are convenient. They also decide how your work is displayed, what runs alongside it, and what you pay every month to keep it visible.
A site we build
- You own the domain and the files outright
- The layout is yours — no template you have to work around
- Loads in well under a second on a normal connection
- Nothing tracks your visitors or profiles them
- Hosting can move anywhere, any time, without a rebuild
- No subscription required to keep the page online
A typical builder plan
- The platform owns the stack; you rent your presence
- Design constrained to what the template allows
- Heavy page weight from features you never asked for
- Analytics and advertising scripts loaded by default
- Exporting rarely produces a site that simply works elsewhere
- Stop paying and the page stops being seen
Already have a portfolio somewhere?
Keep it. A personal site works well alongside the platforms you already use — it just becomes the one link that is entirely yours. If you want the existing site moved rather than rebuilt, see secure website migration.
💬 The straight answers
How much, how long, and why us
How much does it cost?
Personal sites are usually our smallest projects, and priced accordingly. What moves the number is how many pages you need, how much of a gallery or case-study structure is involved, and whether the writing already exists.
You get a written quote before anything begins. The full breakdown of what drives cost is on the website cost page.
How long does it take?
Typically 1–3 weeks. A single-page site can be ready sooner; a large portfolio with dozens of pieces takes longer to organise and present properly.
Bring your images, text, and links, and the build moves quickly. If you're unsure what to include, that's the first conversation we'll have.
Why build with us?
Because a personal site carries your name, so how it is built matters. Ours are fast, tracker-free, and hardened by default — and the standards behind that are published on this site as 141 free tutorials.
You can read our work before you hire us. Start with the privacy tutorials.

❓ FAQ
Personal website questions
How much does a personal website cost?
Less than a business site, because there is usually less of it. The price depends on how many pages you need and how much of a gallery or case-study structure is involved. Every project gets a written quote before work starts.
Do I need a domain name first?
No. If you already have one we'll use it; if not, we'll help you choose and register one. Either way it is registered in your name, so you own it independently of us.
Can I add new work myself later?
Yes. We build the site so adding a new project or updating your bio is a simple, repeatable change, and we show you how to do it before handover.
What if I only need one page?
That is often the right answer. A single, well-built page that says who you are, shows your best work, and makes contact easy will outperform a half-finished five-page site.
Will it work on phones?
Yes — we design for the phone first and expand upward. Most people who open your link will do it on a phone, so that is the layout that gets built and tested first.
Can you move my existing portfolio over?
Yes. We can rebuild it or migrate it, keeping your existing addresses working so links people already have don't break. See our secure website migration page for how that is handled.
Put your name on it
Tell us what you do and what you want to show. You'll get an honest opinion on how big the site needs to be — and a written quote to match.
