Contact

There are a few reasons to get in touch. None require a polished brief.

Exhibitions, commissions, collaborations, publications, a website that needs making, or a small system that has started eating your week. Send the rough version. We can work out what it is before pretending to know what it should become.

Paid web work

03

01

Build a website

For an independent business, club or solo operator that has outgrown a social profile and needs a site it owns. I plan the pages, write or edit the copy, design it, build it and leave you able to run it.

Say what you do
A homepage that names the offer, the place and the next useful action without making people decode a slogan.
Give each question a place
Services, about, work and contact pages ordered around what a visitor needs to know next.
Leave you the keys
An editing setup and handover that lets you change ordinary content without calling a developer.
Get it live
Content, domain, hosting, accessibility and search checks handled before the switch is thrown.
Keep it maintained
Updates, monitoring and small repairs after launch if you would rather not think about them.
Community rate
Reduced or staged options for grassroots clubs and non-profits. Ask.

Repair a site

For a site that technically exists but has become hard to explain, slow on a phone or invisible in search. I find the useful problems, put them in order and fix the ones that matter first.

Read it like a visitor
A page-by-page review of what people meet first, where the meaning goes missing and what needs rewriting.
Rewrite and reorder
Headings, page order and calls to action rebuilt around the actual offer rather than the old template.
Fix what looks accidental
Typography, spacing and imagery made deliberate without pretending the site needs a new personality.
Make it findable
Performance, schema, Google Business alignment and mobile faults dealt with before money goes into ads.

Fix a small system

For the form, booking, email or spreadsheet job somebody is still moving by hand. I map the repeated steps, automate the safe parts and leave the failure path visible.

Stop losing enquiries
Forms, bookings and replies routed to the right place with enough information to act on them.
Update once
Menus, prices, events or fixtures fed from one source instead of being corrected in three places.
Remove the copy-paste
Small workflows for spreadsheets, inboxes and notifications, with the manual fallback written down.

If it is web work

04
  1. 01

    Show me the rough version

    Send the current site, the half-written document or the job everybody keeps doing by hand. Whatever state it is in is the state I want to see it in.

  2. 02

    Decide what actually needs doing

    I turn the mess into a written scope, a timeline and an order of work. Anything unnecessary stays out.

  3. 03

    Look before it is finished

    You get a working preview early enough to object while changing it is still cheap and useful.

  4. 04

    Launch it and hand it over

    The essentials are checked, the thing goes live, and you get the notes needed to use it without me hovering nearby.

Who I am

01

I’m Joe. I make psychological drawings about ordinary places that have become impossible, and I build websites for people who need the thing to work after I leave.

By day I work in neurosciences. Outside that, I draw, write and build. The drawings are full of routines, systems and people failing to notice one another. The web work is less bleak, usually, but it begins with the same habit of looking at what people are actually doing rather than what the diagram says they do.

I work directly with independents, small teams, trades and grassroots clubs. No account manager, because there is no account manager. If a person cannot understand the page, use the form or update the thing after handover, I have not finished it.

Things you can inspect

Uncle Tibo

A public site for a coffee house and pizzeria, plus a booking system that checks each request against the eight tables in the room.

Say hello

01

Tell me what you are looking at, what keeps pulling you back to it, or what is not working. A sentence is enough. I am not grading the brief.
