Hand-coded websites
Websites that earn their place in your business
Dunnworks designs, builds and rebuilds websites for small businesses. Every site is written by hand, loads in under a second, and stays yours. No page builder, no monthly licence, no lock-in.

These are this business’s own figures, not a sample. The build time and reply time are what I hold myself to; the fee is what the hosting actually costs on the tiers a small site needs, which is nothing. What a site costs to run.
The problem
Most small sites
cost more than they return
A site built on a drag-and-drop platform in 2019 is still charging a licence fee, still loading slowly on a phone, and still sending enquiries to an inbox nobody checks. It is a leaflet on a shelf. A working site does a job every week.
None of these are design problems. They are the six things that decide whether a small business site earns back what it costs, and they are worth checking on the site you have now.
Invisible in search
No page per service and no local terms, so it never shows for the work you want
Enquiries that vanish
A form that quietly fails, or lands in a platform inbox nobody logs into
Rented, not owned
Stop paying and the site goes with it, design, content and all
Paying for nothing
A licence fee every month whether the site brought in work or not
Nobody to ask
A support queue and a help centre, instead of the person who built it
What I do
Four ways of working, depending on what you already have
Pick the row that sounds like you. Every one of them ends with a site you own outright.
New website from scratch
Nothing online yet, or a brand new name
From £395
Rebuild of an old site
Your words and photos, on something fast
From £950
Hosting, updates and care
Stays live and current, hands off
£45 a month
The parts that do real work
Booking, galleries, member areas, admin screens
Quoted
Selected work
Four sites, four different jobs to do
A consultancy, a drone survey business, a kitchen fitter and a golf society. Same approach, different problems.
Combustion Consulting
A four page platform site rebuilt as a five page site for an engine consultancy, live on 3 September 2026.
AeroInspectors
A launch site for drone roof surveys in Hampshire and Surrey, with prices published up front.
T Cooper Interiors
Kitchen and bathroom fitters in Farnborough. Gallery, testimonials and enquiries run from a database.
The Falkners Arms Golf Society
Fixtures, draws, results and payments, with a committee admin area behind the public pages.
How it works
Four steps, and two of them need you
Everything else is mine. The two that need you take about half an hour between them.
01
Your turn
A call
Twenty minutes on what the business does, who you want to hear from, and what the site has to achieve.
02
I do this
A fixed price
The pages, the wording plan and the cost, in writing. One price, no hourly billing, no surprises.
03
Your turn
The build
You see the real site on a private link within a week and say what to change. Two rounds are included.
04
I do this
Live
Domain, email and search records moved with no downtime. You get the files, the logins and a walkthrough.
Prices
Fixed prices, published, so you know before you call
Every price below is a starting point for a straightforward site. Anything unusual gets quoted after the call.
Starter
For getting online this week, using words and photos you already have.
From£395
- one page, built from the content you send me
- enquiry form and click-to-call
- live in about 3 days
- one round of changes
One page
For a new business that wants the page written and designed properly.
From£750
- single scrolling page with your services and area
- wording drafted for you, not just tidied up
- sections designed around your trade
- live in about 1 week
Business site
Five pages, one for each thing you want to be found for.
From£1,450
- up to 5 pages, written with you
- gallery, testimonials and search set-up
- live in about 2 to 3 weeks
Rebuild
You have a site already. It is slow, dated or costing too much.
From£950
- your content moved across and improved
- domain, email and search results protected
- platform fees stop when it goes live
Every build includes 3 months on the Care plan. After that it is £45 a month for hosting, backups, monitoring and small changes, unless you say stop. Plans for sites with a booking system or an admin area are £195 and £450. See what each one covers.
Why hand-coded
A site written by hand costs less to run and does more
Page builders are quick to start and expensive to live with. Here is the difference over 3 years.
| Typical page builder | Dunnworks | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly platform fee | £17 to £45 | None for the site itself (running costs) |
| Who owns the files | The platform | You do |
| Page weight | 2 to 5 MB | Under 400 KB |
| Moving host later | Rebuild from scratch | Copy the folder |
| Adding a booking form or admin screen | Paid app, monthly | Built in, no fee |
| Who answers when it breaks | A support queue | Tony, same day |
Where I work
Fifteen towns, none of them more than 15 miles from the desk
Based in Bordon, so Whitehill, Lindford and Headley are on the doorstep and everywhere out to Farnborough is a drive rather than a video call. The rest of the UK works by phone and email. Distances are straight-line from the centre of Bordon.
- Bordon based here
- Whitehill 1 mile
- Liphook 4 miles
- Grayshott 5 miles
- Liss 5 miles
- Alton 5 miles
- Hindhead 6 miles
- Haslemere 7 miles
- Farnham 7 miles
- Petersfield 8 miles
- Aldershot 10 miles
- Midhurst 10 miles
- Fleet 11 miles
- Godalming 12 miles
- Farnborough 13 miles
Everywhere else in the UK works by phone and email, which is how most of the work runs anyway.
Questions
The things people ask before they commit
How long does a site take?
A one page site takes about a week. A five page business site takes 2 to 3 weeks from the day the content is agreed. The slow part is usually photos and wording, so I draft both for you if that helps.
Will I lose my Google ranking if you rebuild the site?
No. Old addresses are redirected to the new ones, the page titles and headings are carried over, and the site is submitted to Google the day it goes live. Pages usually get faster, which helps rather than hurts.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes, where it makes sense. Prices, opening hours, galleries and testimonials can sit behind a simple admin screen you log into. Most owners would rather send a message and have the change made for them, which a plan covers.
What happens to my email address?
Nothing. Email and the website are separate records on your domain. Your address keeps working through the switch, and I check it before and after the site goes live.
What happens after the first 3 months?
The build price covers the first 3 months on the Care plan. After that it continues at £45 a month unless you tell me to stop, and stopping costs you nothing: the site, the domain, the code and the logins are yours either way. The plan buys hosting, backups, monitoring and changes made for you, not permission to keep using your own site.
Where do you work?
Hampshire and Surrey for anything face to face. Everywhere else in the UK by phone and email, which is how most of the work runs anyway.
