Hand-coded Astro sites. Lighthouse 100s, not template dust.

What's in the box

Six things every Acme site ships with. No add-ons, no upsells, no "premium plan" trap.

• ⚡

  Lighthouse 95+ on every page

  Build-time gate. The site can't deploy if any page falls below 95 Performance, 100 SEO, 100 Accessibility. Verified on every push.

• 🧱

  Static, edge-cached, free hosting

  Cloudflare Pages with global CDN. Zero monthly hosting cost forever. 30-second deploys triggered on git push. No server to babysit.

• 🔍

  Schema-first SEO baseline

  JSON-LD baked in for LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Article, Service. Sitemap, robots, canonicals, OG tags — all generated, all correct, no plugin to misconfigure.

• 📨

  Lead capture wired to your inbox

  Cloudflare Worker form handler with Turnstile, honeypot, and UTM capture. Submissions land in your email within seconds, with attribution intact.

• 📦

  Owned outright, in plain markdown

  Your content lives in a git repository you own. Edit in any text editor. No CMS upgrade cycle. No vendor migration ever needed.

• 🛡️

  GDPR + WCAG AA out of the box

  Consent banner with default-deny tracking, AA-contrast palette, semantic HTML, keyboard-navigable, screen-reader-tested. Compliance by construction.

How a build runs

Four phases, four weeks, fixed price. Here's exactly what happens at each step — including the artifacts you receive.

1. 01

   Discovery + brief

   60-minute call. You talk, I listen. By the end you have a single brief.json file capturing every decision: brand colours, services, locations, regulators, lead-capture wiring. This file drives the entire build.

   brief.json

   {
     "site": {
       "name": "Your Business",
       "domain": "yourbusiness.co.uk",
       "tagline": "What you do, who for, in one line."
     },
     "brand": {
       "palette": { "accent": "#7C6FF7" },
       "tone": "premium"
     },
     "business": {
       "services_offered": ["sales", "lettings"]
     }
   }

2. 02

   Generation + scaffold

   The brief drives a Python generator that scaffolds the whole site: pages, content collections, JSON-LD, sitemap, lead form, tracking, legal pages. Within minutes there's a working static site to review.

   src/pages/index.astro

   ---
   import BaseLayout from '@layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
   import LeadForm from '@components/LeadForm.astro';
   
   const siteName = import.meta.env.PUBLIC_SITE_NAME;
   const tagline = import.meta.env.PUBLIC_TAGLINE;
   ---
   <BaseLayout title={siteName} description={tagline}>
     <h1>{tagline}</h1>
     <LeadForm formId="hero" />
   </BaseLayout>

3. 03

   Content + imagery

   I write the copy. You review and adjust. Imagery is hand-selected or generated to match a locked camera/focal style guide so every shot looks like it came from the same shoot. Author bio + credentials baked in for E-E-A-T.

   src/content/services/sales.md

4. 04

   Deploy + handover

   Cloudflare Pages deploy, custom domain wiring, Lighthouse run, IndexNow submission to Google + Bing. You receive the GitHub repo, a one-page handover doc, and (if you want) a Decap CMS overlay so you can edit content in a browser.
