It might seem obvious, but I built this site too, and it’s the one piece of my work you’ve already used.

Every web developer’s site makes the same promises: fast, easy to use on a phone, easy to find. When the site making those promises is slow, awkward on a phone, or a template with a name swapped in, a visitor has every reason to doubt the rest. So before this site could sell anything, it had to live up to what it says.

I built it from scratch with Next.js and held every page to four rules.

• Light on a phone. The photo is resized and converted to a smaller, modern format automatically, with a blurred preview in its place, so the page doesn’t jump around while it loads. Fonts are served from this site instead of a third party. Only three small pieces, the menu, the dark-mode button, and the contact form, are interactive. Every page is built ahead of time, so there’s no waiting on a server to assemble it.
• Phone first. Every layout starts at phone width and adds columns as the screen gets wider, not the other way around. The main buttons and form fields are at least 44 pixels tall, a comfortable size for a thumb. On a phone, the header’s booking button steps aside so each page’s own headline gets the first screen.
• Usable by everyone. A “skip to content” link for keyboard users. A focus outline that stays visible on both light and dark backgrounds. Every section labeled for screen readers, and form errors that are read aloud and tied to the field they belong to. The brand’s amber is never used for text on a light background, because it’s too faint to read there. And animation turns off for anyone whose device asks for less motion.
• Readable by search engines. Every page has its own title, description, and address. The sitemap is generated from the same list that builds the menu, so a new page can’t be left out. And structured data, a short machine-readable summary, tells Google what this business is, where it works, and what it charges.

I build with AI coding tools, too. They take on a lot of the repetitive work while I make the decisions and review what goes in, and every change still has to pass the same checks. The time they save is part of how I can offer lower prices.

You’re using the result right now. Open it on your phone, switch it to dark mode, or move through it with the Tab key.
