Kingswood, Hull · Sole trader

Shaun Allen

I build websites. I have done so for twelve years.

I am not a junior in a large agency, and I am not a page-builder reseller. I am the person who designs your site, writes the code, launches it, and answers when you need something changing.

Everything I build is custom made for your business. No WordPress, no Shopify themes, no Elementor, no template with your logo stuck on. I write lean PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript by hand - built for speed, security and the way you actually work.

The short version

If we work together, you deal with me.

I am a sole trader. That is not a branding line - it is how the work actually happens. If you email, I read it. If we agree a project, I design it, build it and stay reachable after launch.

I am not VAT registered. The price on your quote is the price you pay - no VAT added.

Most of my clients are UK small businesses: trades, practices, shops, hospitality and growing teams who need a site that looks the part and brings enquiries in - without an agency process wrapped around every decision.

You should never need a translator to understand your own website project.

I live and work in Kingswood, on the edge of Hull. Local clients can meet or speak when it helps. Businesses further afield across the UK are welcome too - the standard does not change with the postcode.

This site shows how I build: lean code, locked-down security, accessible markup, and a quote form that fights spam instead of inviting it. If that approach fits how you like to work, we will probably get on.

Trustpilot

What people have said

Real reviews on Trustpilot - not lines written for a brochure.

  • I can't recommend Shaun enough. He brought my vision to life and went above and beyond - websites for two very different businesses and a CRM system. Patient, professional and clear throughout; he listened to my ideas and turned them into something real. Nothing felt like too much trouble. Highly recommended for web design, IT support and CRM - I'll definitely keep working with him.

A sole-trader site that has to convert: navy and electric blue, lean PHP, locked-down forms, and performance scores that are part of the pitch rather than a slide in a deck.

  • Trade business website with a strong quote call to action

    Trades

    Work that needs a quote, not a brochure

    Van, phone number and a reason to enquire - designed for people who found you from a search, not from a design award.

  • Professional practice website with a calm, trustworthy layout

    Practices

    Calm first impressions that still convert

    Clinics and professional services need trust in the first scroll. Quiet type, clear next step, nothing gimmicky.

  • Hospitality website with a book-a-table call to action

    Hospitality

    Atmosphere, then the booking

    Photography does the heavy lifting. The site stays out of the way - menu, location, book a table.
