Hi, I'm Lewis Hartshorn

Freelance web developer in Devizes, Wiltshire. Clean, responsive websites for small businesses across the UK. Transparent pricing, no upsells.
About Me
I'm a freelance web developer based in Devizes, Wiltshire, working with small businesses across the UK. I build websites that actually work — fast loading, look great on mobile, and don't cost a fortune to maintain.
I've been building software professionally for over 9 years. That means when I build your site, I'm not experimenting — I know what works, I write clean code, and I don't overcomplicate things. You get a proper custom website, not a WordPress template with bloat.

FAQ
Common questions about working together.
Most 5-page sites take 1-2 weeks from brief to launch, depending on how quickly we can nail down content and design direction.
Yes — I need your text, images, and any branding materials. If you're not sure what to write, I can help guide you through it.
Every site includes basic on-page SEO: proper heading structure, optimised meta tags, fast loading speeds, and mobile-friendly responsive design. I also optimise for local search so your business appears in Google when people search for services in your area.
The sites I build are static — no CMS, no login panel. If you need a change, just ask and I'll do it. It's simpler that way.
No problem. Once the final balance is paid, you own the site outright — full copyright, all source files. Host it with me, move it elsewhere, or hand it to another developer.
Yes. I work remotely with clients anywhere in the UK. Most of the process happens over email and a few calls.
