Where Craft Meets Integrity
I build practical, well-designed websites with long-term clarity and simplicity in mind – combining strong visual design with systems that are easy to maintain and genuinely useful to the people using them.
An Intuition for Design
Two things separate a designer from a builder: an intuitive grasp of how something should feel, and an eye for beauty and proportion in all things.
Something that is well designed is not noticed, it is felt. That might be the feeling of gentleness in a wellness site, or energy on a fitness site, or prowess and trust on a law firm’s site. It’s not something screamed into the face of visitors – it is an atmosphere created through conscious choice – often restraint – with a specific goal in mind.
That talent separates the builder from the architect. I don’t just assemble websites. I design them.
I'll Still Be Here Tomorrow
I don’t just build websites as a flash-in-the-pan side-hustle. I live in them. I run a personal blog, a law blog for students and academics, and I have plans to build a botanical & horticultural blog as well. The same tools, mindset, values and infrastructure that I use to sustain my ’empire’, I also use to help you build yours.
I build for minimum complexity and maximum resilience. I’m here for the present, and for the future. Won’t you join me?

If you have any custom requirements for functionality, please talk to me about it. Web design is just as much about solving problems as anything else, and in many cases I can come up with a solution. I enjoy a challenge, so in any case I’d be happy to try!
Making Life Easier
Too often, solutions are over-engineered and under-perform.
Platforms that are supposed to help you arrest you with absurd fees and vendor lock-in, and complex workarounds only introduce failure points in your system, costing you time and energy.
True North is different. I believe systems should serve people. My standard? As complex as necessary, as simple as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve tried to answer a few common questions here but if you have one unanswered, please get in touch!
Will I need to do anything?
Yes, there will be some things I’ll need from you! Unless you want me to use stock images (which I generally advise against, as they can feel inauthentic), I’ll need any photos or images you’d like to include on your site. If you already have any written content (text, descriptions, etc.), I can incorporate that too.
The level of your involvement will vary depending on how much control you want over the process. Some clients prefer to be more hands-on, while others are happy to leave it all to me.
How does payment work?
Once we’ve discussed your requirements, I’ll give you a clear, fixed quote.
I invoice by email, and payment is made by bank transfer.
For larger projects, I can offer staged payments or flexible plans.
If you ever want to add features later, we’ll agree on pricing before anything changes.
Why should I not use tools like Wix, Squarespace, etc?
Website builders such as Wix and Squarespace can be a useful starting point for those on a tight budget, but they come with significant limitations. I talk about them, and AI builders, here.
How long does it take?
Most bespoke websites take 1-2 months depending on scope and content readiness. I’ll give a more tailored estimate when I know your requirements better. Package sites can be online in days if everything is ready beforehand.
Do you work with individuals, trades, and small businesses?
I absolutely do, yes! This is the mainstay of my client base. I’ve specifically tried to offer a dedicated simple, and bespoke route into website ownership for individuals and businesses to provide an alternative to services like Wix, Shopify, and Squarespace, and other SaaS tools that deny you ownership and force you to accept platform lock-in.
