Grimsdale · Selected work

Selected work.

A walking gallery of the sites I've built, designed, written and shipped solo, start to finish. Every exhibit is a real build; nothing here is a mock-up.

The Fives Vault homepage, a large hero photo of players on a fives court under the headline 'Fives. The wall game.' — I

Flagship build · Live

The site an agency wanted £15,000 to build.

A friend needed a website and the agency quotes came back at £15,000–£30,000. I built the whole thing instead: twelve custom pages with a shot-technique gallery, a 44-court finder and a 3D court viewer, with SEO built in from the first line of markup. Same result, without the padded bill.

Scope: 12 pages, custom
Includes: Shot Vault · 44-court finder · 3D court viewer · SEO foundations

The Urtica Herbal homepage, a calm apothecary layout with a hand-drawn nettle motif. — II

Client build · Live

Eight pages of apothecary calm.

A medical herbalist's practice, in person and online. A hand-drawn nettle grows in as the page loads; underneath the calm sit consultations, pricing, testimonials, an eleven-question FAQ and local-business schema doing the SEO quietly.

Launch audit: Lighthouse 91 performance · 91 accessibility · 100 best-practices · 100 SEO · CLS 0.002.

Scope: 8 pages, custom
Includes: Animated nettle hero · Pricing & FAQs · Local SEO schema

The Amber Signs homepage, a sign-maker's one-page site opening at night with a glowing OPEN sign and a swinging hero sign. — III

Client build · Built

The whole shop on one page.

A sign-maker's site that behaves like the trade: it opens at night with the OPEN sign glowing, warms to daylight as you scroll, and hangs a real swinging sign in the hero. One long page holds a filterable work gallery and a quote form that previews your own sign as you type.

Scope: One page, custom
Includes: 3D hanging sign · Day-to-night scroll · Live sign-preview quote form

The James Sharp Decorating Services homepage, the headline 'A finish that lasts & lifts the room.' over the painter and decorator's hero, with Interiors, Exteriors and Woodwork beneath it. — IV

Client build · Built

A decorator's site, finished properly.

James paints and decorates interiors and exteriors and restores woodwork across Milton Keynes, Bedford, Leighton Buzzard and the counties around them. I built the site that says so plainly, with a free quote as the one thing it asks of you.

Scope: 22 pages, custom
Includes: Areas & town pages · Gallery · Free quote

The NWCS Ltd homepage, the headline 'Tendering and estimating support for groundworks & reinforced-concrete contractors.' with the line 'From first take-off to final account' beneath it. — V

Client build · Built

From first take-off to final account.

NW Contractor Services Ltd, trading as NWCS Ltd, gives groundworks and reinforced-concrete contractors outsourced estimating, tendering and commercial support, UK-wide. I built a site that states that specialism in one screen, so a contractor knows at once whether it is for them.

Scope: 9 pages, custom
Includes: Estimating · Tendering · Commercial support

The Grimsdale AI & Transformation homepage, the headline 'Give your best people their week back.' over the line about putting AI to work on the busywork. — VI

Own venture · Live

The other Grimsdale.

Grimsdale AI & Transformation is my second practice: practical, responsible AI for small businesses, put to work on the busywork and only where it earns its place. I designed and built its site the way I build for clients: four clear stages, plain English, the reader in control throughout.

Scope: One page, custom
Includes: Four-stage approach · Plain-English advice
