Independent web design & development, London
Meko — independent web design and development, London
Watch your website
get built.
Bespoke sites and client platforms, hand built for what you actually need. Live in as little as 3 weeks, from a single kickoff call, at a fixed price agreed before we start.
Every project runs through your own client portal: watch the build live, pin feedback directly on the design, and approve each stage before I move on.
A great website isn't just seen, it's felt. I sweat the details most people skip: the easing on a hover, the rhythm of your type, the half-second before a page loads. That's where trust is built, and where visitors decide to work with you.
Every site, built
from scratch.
No templates. No drag and drop builders. Just clean, hand written code, which means your website can be exactly what you need it to be, right down to the last pixel.
- Fully bespoke, never a theme
- Fast, accessible and yours to own
- The animation and detail most skip
How I can help
One person, end to end, from strategy and design through to clean, fast code.
Platforms & Portals
Secure client portals, data rooms and dashboards. Full web apps with logins, file sharing and admin tools, built from the ground up.
The portal you'll use during your own project? I built that too.
Web Design
UI/UX, design systems and art direction that give your brand a clear, confident point of view.
Web Development
Pixel-accurate front-ends in React, Next.js and modern CSS, all accessible, responsive and quick.
AI & Automation
Practical AI built into your product or workflow. Assistants, smart search and automations that take the manual, repetitive work off your plate.
Performance & SEO
Core Web Vitals, technical SEO and analytics, so you get found and stay fast under load.
Bespoke builds start from £2,500. Platforms and portals are scoped individually.
How we can work together
Three ways in, depending on what you're building. Every one is hand-built, fixed-price, and runs through the Meko portal.
Presence
From £2,500A bespoke marketing site that makes you look like the business you actually are. Design, copy and build, with your own portal login from day one.
Conversion
From £5,000Everything in Presence, built to win you clients, not just look the part. Strategy, conversion copy, a CMS you own and technical SEO from day one.
Platform
Scoped individuallyEverything in Conversion, applied to a system rather than a website. Portals, dashboards, data rooms and web apps: the things your business runs on.
Every project: a fixed quote that never moves once agreed, design sign-off before anything gets built, and progress you can check any hour of the day.

Full portfolioYour project, in your pocket
Most studios send you email attachments and hope. Meko clients get a private portal: a live dashboard showing exactly what stage your project is at, previews you can pin feedback onto, formal approvals so there's never a dispute about sign-off, and a direct line for sending files and comments.
Click anywhere on a design to leave a note at that exact spot. Browse the real site as it's built and pin feedback to any page. Invite colleagues with a single link so your whole team can weigh in. Approve each stage with one button, on the record.
I designed and built the portal myself, which tells you something about what I'll build for you.
What happens after you book the call
Discovery & quote
We start with one kickoff call. I'll ask the right questions, then send a fixed quote that never moves once agreed, and a timeline to go with it.
Design
You'll get a login to the Meko portal, where every design goes up for review. Click anywhere on a preview to pin a comment at that exact spot. No forty-email threads, no "the thing near the top" confusion.
Sign-off & build
Nothing gets built until you've formally approved the design in the portal. One button, clear record, no ambiguity. Then I build, and you browse the real site as it takes shape, live inside the portal, pinning feedback on any page.
Launch & beyond
Launch isn't goodbye. Every build includes 30 days of fixes. After that, ongoing plans from £150/month keep the site hosted, monitored and, if you want, improving every quarter.
Thirty minutes.
A fixed price.

Before we talk
We'll chat for about 30 minutes about your goals, your audience and the problem you're solving. You'll get straight answers, a clear sense of whether we're a good fit, and a fixed price.
Marketing sites typically launch in 3 weeks. Platforms and portals are scoped individually: you'll have a clear timeline before we start, and you can watch progress against it in the portal.
You could try. I use AI tools every day myself, and they're genuinely good at producing code. What they can't do is know what your business needs built, what to leave out, how to make it convert, or pick up the phone when something breaks in six months. The tools have made production cheap; judgment, taste and accountability are what you're actually paying for. The difference shows in the results.
Always. Every build includes 30 days of post-launch fixes. After that: Live at £150/month keeps the site watched, patched and backed up, with four changes a month done for you and a monthly report in plain English. Compounding at £400/month lifts that to ten changes a month, puts your visitor numbers in front of you, wires your ads to real enquiries and keeps the site fast. Partner at £1,200/month adds unlimited changes, same-day replies, a fortnightly strategy meeting and a campaign page every quarter, and is capped at four clients at a time. All month-to-month, all optional, and you can start one later.
