A website should be the best-made thing you own.
Since Sites builds websites by hand: designed around one clear purpose, written properly, fast on every phone, and hosted in your own name so it stays yours. No templates, no monthly platform fee, no dependence on us afterwards.
When you need more than pages, we build that too: a shop, a box office, a members' area, a roster, a quote form that sends a text, and an admin you can run yourself without calling anyone.
Recent builds

Artist management and publicity
Good Stuff In Between
goodstuffinbetween.comA roster site for a management and PR agency: a page for every artist with photographs, Spotify and YouTube, the About page and contact. Behind it, an admin the owner runs himself: add a band, upload the photos, press publish.

Bespoke ticketing platform
Golden Hum
goldenhum.co.ukA box office built from scratch for a gig promoter: events with images and copy, card payments landing straight in the promoter's own account, QR tickets by email, a phone scanner for the door, waitlists, unlisted events for private nights, and refunds handled in one go when a show moves.

Book launch
The Daily Artist
thedailyartist.comA launch site for a book of 366 reflections. The cover painting opens as you scroll, its figures move, the painting settles into the hardback, and a reservation form feeds straight into a database. Built to take reservations before the book is printed.

Public data project
Cultural Vandalism
culturalvandalism.infoAn independent monitoring project that compared five months of BBC Radio Scotland playlist data with the year before, and published what it found. A timeline of the coverage that followed in The Herald, The Times and The Observer, every claim linked to its source, kept online as a public record.

Members' magazine
The Followers' Dispatch
dispatch.constantfollower.comA magazine for a band's inner circle, delivered as a website rather than a newsletter: a password door, issues that unlock for members, players, photographs and buy buttons. Paid membership handled with Stripe and a welcome that sends itself.

If you build things, your website has three jobs.
- Be found and be believed. Your name, your area, your reviews and photographs of finished work, on a page that loads in a blink on a phone in a kitchen.
- Make contact effortless. A number they can tap, and a short form that lets them add a photo of the job.
- Reach you now. The enquiry lands on your phone as a text while they are still on your site, with their number ready to call back.
Joiners, builders, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, decorators. We build the site, set up your email at your own domain, and sort the Google listing to go with it.
Example
What comes with it
- Design, words and photographs handled, together
- Fast hosting on your own account, in your name
- Your own email address at your own domain
- Enquiries by email and by text, the moment they arrive
- An admin you can use, so a new page never needs a phone call
- Shop, tickets, mailing list or members' area when you need them
How it works
A conversation
What the site is for, who it is for, what you already have. An hour, in person or on the phone.
A private link
Within days you are looking at the real thing on a private address, and we change it together until it is right.
Live when you say so
Your domain, your account, your site. We stay on hand, or hand over completely. Either is fine.
A fixed price, agreed before we start. Most sites are live within a week of the first conversation.
