Chippenham · SN14 / SN15
Web Designer in Chippenham.
Chippenham sits on the M4 and a fast rail line to London, and it shows in the businesses based there — ambitious SMEs, logistics operations, professional services and busy retailers. I build the kind of websites and web applications those businesses actually need: fast, owned outright, and not hostage to someone else's roadmap.
The Chippenham projects I'm best suited to.
Chippenham businesses tend to be growing, already busy, and a bit past the point where a DIY site is doing them justice. Here's where I fit in.
Outgrown-Wix SMEs
When your DIY site starts limiting how many products you can list, how fast pages load, or how you take payments — that's the moment to move to something custom. I'll migrate everything and the URLs stay the same.
Logistics & trade counters
Quote requests, driver portals, stock look-ups, account-customer areas. The sort of workflow that's too specific for a SaaS tool but perfect for a small Laravel app.
Specialist e-commerce
Bundles, made-to-order, subscriptions, trade pricing. Shopify can almost do it; "almost" is an expensive word. I'll build it so it actually fits.
Professional services firms
Accountants, law firms, estate agents, consultancies. Credibility-first sites with secure client portals and calendars that book themselves.
Fast sites win more business.
Every second a page takes to load, roughly a fifth of your visitors bounce. That's real money leaking out of a slow website. Mine typically score 95+ on PageSpeed and load in well under a second — because they're built that way from the ground up, not patched to nearly-good-enough with caching plugins.
If you'd like a free performance audit of your current Chippenham site, I'll send you a PDF breaking down exactly what's slowing it down — no pitch attached.
Tell me about your projectChippenham questions.
The ones that growing SMEs in SN14 and SN15 tend to ask first.
Can you migrate my Wix (or Squarespace, or GoDaddy) site?
Yes, and the URLs stay the same where possible so Google doesn't punish you for the change. I'll pull the content across, redesign it properly, and hand over a site that's genuinely yours — no platform lock-in.
Do you handle proper e-commerce, not just a contact form?
Yes — Stripe, stock, shipping, VAT, bundles, trade accounts, the lot. I build e-commerce on Laravel rather than a Shopify template, which means I can shape it to fit how you actually sell, not how a SaaS company assumes you sell.
What PageSpeed / Core Web Vitals score should I expect?
My sites typically land 95+ on mobile PageSpeed with sub-one-second LCP. It's a direct result of not using WordPress, not using page builders, and not bolting on 20 third-party scripts. Fast by construction, not fast by plugin.
Do you build actual web apps or just websites?
Both. I've built SaaS platforms (PDFStore, HealthyURL) alongside business websites. If your idea needs a database, logins, payments or workflow — it's a web app, and that's a lot of what I do.
