One person who actually cares.
Considered websites for small businesses, honestly priced, built in Beverley. I’ve spent eighteen months shipping my own things before I started doing this for other people. Now I’m doing it for other people too.
Five places worth going.
- 01Work
Long-form essays on what I've built and why. Currently shipping Doodleboi Ink in Manchester.
- 02Pricing
Four tiers. Everything visible. What I won't build is in there too.
- 03Process
A five-day build, narrated day by day. Day 1 is the brief. Day 5 the site goes live.
- 04Journal
Where I think out loud. Includes the Site of the Month — one critique of someone else's site, every month, written carefully.
- 05About Jay
The Manifesto. Why a new studio. Why Beverley. The dog (Arwyn) is non-negotiable.
Honest numbers, up front.
Most boutique studios won’t put a price on a website. I will. Four tiers. Read them, decide, then we talk — not the other way around.

Site of the Month.
Once a month I pick a website made by someone else — one I admire, one I think is failing, one that’s strange enough to be worth a few hundred words — and write carefully about why.
It’s a craftsperson’s habit, not a marketing tactic. The people who write monthly critiques are the people other craftspeople read. The first one will be published in summer 2026.
If you’d like to know when it goes live — send an email. No automated newsletter, no signup form. Just a person who’ll write back.
