Websites for local businesses that actually get you noticed
I’m Jay, a freelance web developer based in Essex.
I build websites, emails & provide support for businesses worldwide and I genuinely love what I do. I’ve been building on the web since 12 years old, which equates to over 20 years of experience.
Offering a friendly & professional service, I get to know about you & your business before I write a single line of code. This ensures all work carried out is aligned with expectations. If you hire me, your satisfaction is paramount.

The typical agency Layered

Services built around your business
Whatever stage you’re at, I’ll handle the technical side so you can free up your time & focus.
Brochure websites
A proper website for your business. A few pages that explain what you do, who you do it for, and how to get in touch.
Landing pages
A single page built to do one job — usually getting people to call, book, or buy. Good for paid ads and launches.
Website redesigns
If your site looks old or doesn't work well on phones, I'll rebuild it without losing your Google rankings.
WordPress development
New WordPress sites, or moving you off Wix or Squarespace. Built so you can update it yourself without breaking anything.
Website maintenance
Monthly plan that keeps your site updated, backed up, and working. Small content tweaks included.
Web hosting
Fast, reliable hosting. One yearly invoice, no upsells, no faff.
HTML emails
Custom email templates that look right in Gmail, Outlook, and on phones. Drops straight into Mailchimp or whatever you use.
Local SEO
Getting your business found on Google when nearby customers search — local listings, Google Business, and the on-page basics done right.
How it works
It’s pretty straightforward. We have a chat, I send you a quote, we get to work, and I see it through to the end.
We have a chat
Drop me a message or hop on a quick call. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll let you know if I'm the right fit. No sales pitch, just an honest conversation.
I send you a quote
You'll get a clear, fixed price and a realistic timeframe. No vague estimates and no extras sneaking in halfway through.
We build it together
I'll keep you in the loop as things progress. You'll see it taking shape and get the chance to give feedback before anything is finalised.
Launch and ongoing support
Once everything is signed off, we go live. I don't disappear after delivery either. I'm here if you need changes, updates, or just have a question.
