Web design · Bath & Bristol

Your website, designed before you’ve paid a penny.

Convenience made the web look the same. I study the best-designed sites in the world and bring those ideas to your business.

I’m Miles. I build fast, good-looking websites for independent businesses around Bath and Bristol. They work properly on a phone, say clearly what you do, and make it easy for people to find you and get in touch.

What a poor website costs you

Most independent businesses I look at are losing customers in the same three ways. Recognise any of these?

  1. It’s quietly costing you customers

    Slow, clumsy on a phone, or so out of date people assume you’ve shut. Most people decide in about five seconds.

  2. People can’t find you

    If you don’t show up when someone nearby searches for what you do, they go to whoever does.

  3. Nowhere to actually book or get in touch

    People want to read your menu on their phone, tap to call you and book a table. Your site should let them do all three.

What I can build

All four are working pages you can open and try.

These are demonstrations, not client work. Every business shown here is invented. I built each page to work out one specific technique properly. It is the same kind of concept I’d build for you, for free, before you owe me anything.

LEHR, a glassblowing workshop

Scroll, and the glass moves the way molten glass really does. The pieces stretch, thin and part as they leave the furnace. The whole sequence follows your scroll, and none of it is pre-recorded.

ASHLAR, a supper club in a stone mine

Scrolling drives a camera down through the workings, along the gallery, past the cut face, through the arch and up the shaft into daylight. It is drawn on a single canvas rather than stacked layers, which is what keeps it smooth on a phone.

PELLINGTON & HOWE — an accountancy firm — concept page
Concept · invented business

PELLINGTON & HOWE, an accountancy firm

A very proper accountants’ page that plays three jokes on your scroll and then behaves itself. Your first scroll drops the partner’s suit instead of moving the page on, and scrolling back puts it on again. The page never stops moving under your finger.

What it costs

One price for the build, agreed in writing before I start. Anything extra is quoted first.

Most websites: £2,000 – £3,500

That’s the whole thing, built and live. If you want me to keep hosting it, updating it and making small changes, that’s £35 a month.

Cancel the £35 any time on 30 days’ notice, and its price is fixed for the first year. Once the build is paid for, the site is yours to take with you, and the domain is always in your name.

What working with me looks like

Four steps, from the first conversation to the day the site goes live.

  1. A straight conversation

    You tell me what you need and what isn’t working with what you’ve got. It’s free, and if you don’t need me, I’ll say so.

  2. I build you something real to look at

    I’ll build a working version of your site from your own sign and posts before you’ve paid a penny, so you can decide on the real thing.

  3. Shaped with you until it’s right

    You give me your words, your corrections and the details only you know. I work them in until the site sounds like your business.

  4. Live, then looked after if you want

    Once it’s live, I can host it and make small changes for £35 a month. If you’d rather host it somewhere else, I’ll help you move it.

See it first

The concept is free. I build it before you owe me anything, so you can see exactly what you’d get and decide in your own time. I’ll quote only for what you need, and if a smaller job would do it, I’ll tell you.

Who you’re dealing with

Milesenberg Digital is one person, based in Bath, working across Bath and Bristol. The person who builds your site is the person who answers the phone. I use modern tools, AI included, to work fast and keep the price fair, and I make the design decisions myself.

Questions people usually ask

Is the website mine, or am I renting it?
Yours, once the build is paid for. The £35 a month is only if you want me to keep hosting and updating it. You can cancel it on 30 days’ notice and take the site with you.
How long does it take?
It depends on the site, and on how quickly I get your words, photos and logins. You’ll get a target timeline in writing before I start.
You’re one person. Isn’t that a risk?
You deal with me from start to finish, and you’ll see a working version of your site before you pay anything. If I’m ill or can’t work, I’ll tell you straight away and agree a plan with you. Your domain, your content and the enquiries your site collects are yours, and you can have them at any time.
What’s the £35 a month actually for?
Hosting, security updates, backups and monitoring, and the small changes every business needs, like a new price, a new photo or a menu update. It’s optional; the site is built to work whether or not you take it.
Who owns the web address?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and if you already have one, it stays yours. I renew it at cost, hand over control whenever you ask or if you leave, and never hold it back over a bill.
What will you need from me?
Your words, your photos and your logo. The logins for your domain and hosting if you have them, or the go-ahead to register a domain for you. Access to anything the site connects to, such as your booking system or Google Business Profile. And quick feedback at each stage, which is the main thing that keeps a build on time. If you need photos taken, that’s priced separately.
