Sound familiar?
Your website looks like every other business on the same WordPress theme
You've been quoted thousands by agencies for a simple site
Your current site is slow, outdated, or doesn't work on mobile
You know AI could save your team hours, but don't know where to start
You've been waiting months for a project that should take weeks
You're spending hours on repetitive tasks that could be automated
I fix all of these.
What I do
Two services. Pick one, or both if you need them.
Web development
Web Development
A website that looks like yours, not everyone else's. Built from scratch around your brand and the customers you want to reach.
A site only yours
Built from scratch around your brand and your customers. Looks nothing like the other Hertford businesses on the same WordPress theme.
Live in two to four weeks
Not six months of unanswered emails. You watch it build, week by week. Live when we agreed it would be.
Fast. Found on Google.
Loads in under a second on mobile. SEO is baked in from the build, so Google can read it. Not sold as an extra later.
AI consulting
AI Consulting
Your team spends hours on work a machine could do. I find what to automate, set it up, then show the team how to keep it running.
Hours back, every week
Data entry, reports, invoices, follow-ups. If your team does it on autopilot, an actual autopilot can do it. You get the hours back.
Tools you can use yourself
ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier, Make. The same tools you've heard about, set up properly for your business. You stay in control.
Your team, not mine
I train your team to run it themselves. Real skills they use day to day. You don't need me on speed dial.
Process
How it works
No long proposals. No confusing processes.
Chat
A free call about your business and what you want from the work. No obligation.
Build
I design and build the site or AI setup. You see progress as it happens, not at the end.
Launch
It goes live, with hosting and ongoing support. I'm still around after delivery.
Why ByBrown
Personal service,
professional results.
You work directly with the person building your project. No account managers in the middle. That means faster decisions and a result that matches what you asked for.
I use the same AI tools I recommend to clients. It's how I deliver bespoke work at a fraction of what agencies charge, and it's why I can show you exactly how those tools will work for your business too.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does a website cost?
From £29 a month with no upfront cost during the launch promotion (normally £449 upfront, then £15 a month for the Starter package). Most small businesses land on the Business package at £49 a month. The price covers hosting, maintenance and the build itself. No hidden fees.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects go live in two to four weeks. The Starter package is usually around two weeks; Business and E-commerce builds three to four. You see progress as the build happens, not all in one final reveal.
What if I don’t like the design?
I'll show you a free design concept of your homepage before you commit to anything. No payment, no obligation. If it isn't right, we can iterate or you can walk away. Once you're happy and the build starts, revisions are included throughout.
Do you only work with businesses in Hertford?
No. I'm based in Hertford and happy to meet in person if you're nearby, but most projects are delivered remotely. I work with businesses across Hertfordshire and the rest of the UK, and have built sites for clients in other countries too.
I don’t know much about AI. Can you still help?
Yes, that's most of my AI consulting work. Start with the £750 AI Discovery workshop. It's a two-hour session where I look at your day-to-day tasks and find which ones can be automated or done faster with AI. You leave with a written report and a clear next step. No prior AI knowledge required.
What happens after the website launches?
The monthly fee covers hosting, security updates, small content tweaks and a direct line to me. I don't disappear after delivery. If something needs fixing, you message me and I sort it.
What’s the catch with the £0 upfront launch offer?
No catch, but two terms: the launch offer is time-limited, and there's a 12-month minimum on the monthly fee. After that it goes month-to-month and you can cancel any time. The minimum protects against the cost of building for free and then losing the client immediately.
