Web design for London businesses, without the London agency in the middle

London has no shortage of agencies happy to charge a premium and put an account manager between you and the person writing the code. I'm the person writing the code: agency-standard work, direct.

Agency standard, direct access

A London designer's output, without a London agency's overhead

Plenty of London businesses are paying agency rates for a template and a project manager. The work itself, the custom development, the strategy, can come from one person who does both, at a fraction of the overhead.

One person, both halves

I do the web design and the brand strategy, so the build and the message pull in the same direction, not stitched together from two suppliers.

No account-manager layer

You brief the person who writes the code. No notes relayed through a middle layer, no misunderstanding costing a round trip.

Custom where it earns its keep

Bookings, memberships, catalogues, integrations with the systems a London business already runs on, built properly, not stacked with plugins.

You pay for the work, not the office

None of the overhead a London agency quietly bakes into the invoice: the studio, the sales team, the layers.

London-standard work is a skill question, not a postcode premium.

What changes

A London agency, and the way I do it

The common approach

  • An account manager between you and the developer
  • Agency overhead baked into every invoice
  • The junior who built it has moved on within a year
  • A template dressed up as a bespoke build
  • The build and the brand handled by separate suppliers

How I do it

  • You deal directly with the person building it
  • You pay for the work, not the offices
  • The builder is still reachable long after launch
  • Genuinely custom-coded around your business
  • One person joining the build and the brand up
Questions people actually ask

FAQ

You're based in Hertfordshire: does that work for a London business?

Plenty of my clients are London-based. The work is remote-first, and London is a straightforward trip when a project genuinely needs an in-person session: the access without central-London studio rates.

How do you compare to a London agency on price?

You're not paying for offices, an account team, or layers of management, so the same standard of custom work costs considerably less. You pay for the build, not the overhead around it.

Can you handle a large or complex London project?

Custom development, integrations and larger builds are exactly what I do. For a genuinely multi-team, time-critical programme an agency may fit better, and I'll tell you that honestly rather than take work that isn't the right shape.

Open any of them. These are live businesses trading on the site, not mockups, and each one has a write-up of what was built and why.

What clients say
Was looking to have a website built from scratch and had over 30 companies reach out to take on the project, but Terence stood out from the crowd. Response times are speedy and the way he speaks about his work is so passionate I couldn't not work with him on this project.
Onward Shift
Terry has been working with us for nearly 10 years now. We asked Terry to help us with our website...turned out so amazing.
