Hand-coded. No templates. You own it outright.
A lot of small-business websites are slow, look dated, or just sit there doing nothing. Some were built from a template that looks like everyone else's. Others haven't been touched in years.
Your website should be simple: it loads fast, looks professional on a phone, tells people what you do, and makes it easy to call you. That's what I build.
Most cheap websites are assembled from the same templates thousands of businesses use. Mine are written from scratch, for you.
| Feature | Template Sites | Hand-Coded by Papworth |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Same templates used by thousands of businesses | Built for your business — nothing off a shelf |
| Speed | Bloated builders and plugins slow pages down | Lean code that loads fast |
| Mobile | Templates adapted to phones as an afterthought | Designed mobile-friendly from the start |
| Ownership | You rent it — stop paying and it can disappear | You own the site outright; domain in your name |
| Changes | You wrestle with the builder yourself | You text me, I make the change |
| Monthly cost | $30–$80+/mo builder fees, forever | $47/mo care plan — hosting and updates handled |

You don't need to know anything about websites. That's the point.
Text or call. Tell me about your business in plain English — no tech talk needed.
I hand-code a working version of your new site so you can see exactly what you'd get.
Look it over on your phone and computer. If you like it, great. If not, no problem.
Your domain, your site, live on fast hosting. The care plan keeps it updated.
Straight answers, no jargon.
Yes — outright. The domain is registered in your name and the site files are yours. You're not renting anything from me.
That's what the care plan is for — $47/month covers hosting, updates, security, and content changes. Just text me what you need.
Those are templates you bend to fit your business, and you pay their monthly fee forever. I write your site from scratch — it loads faster, looks like you (not a template), and you own it.
Every build includes SEO setup — proper titles, descriptions, and clean code Google can read. If you want ongoing work to rank higher, take a look at my SEO services.
Most sites are live within a couple of weeks of you approving the demo. It mostly depends on how fast you get me your content.
