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.

These are demonstrations, not client work. Every business shown here is invented. All five are working pages you can open and try, each the same kind of concept I’d build for you, for free, before you owe me anything.

Pelliday’s

A fish and chip shop in Totterdown, Bristol

Pelliday’s on a desktop: cod and chips on the open paper, under the name
Pelliday’s menu on a phone, with its prices and the Menu, Hours and Find us tabs

The menu with every price, the opening hours and where to find the shop are one tap away on every screen, and on a Friday a customer can hold a ten-minute slot instead of queueing.

The page is the paper the chips come in: it opens on the counter, lays flat into the menu and wraps back up, stamped with the next opening.

The Lamp Room

A restaurant at the top of a lighthouse

The Lamp Room on a desktop: the lighthouse lens and its six panels, ready to turn
The Lamp Room on a phone: Dinner at the top of a lighthouse, and Take a sitting

“Take a sitting” is on the first screen, and the page answers what guests ask before they climb 168 steps: when the sittings are, where to park, and what happens when the wind gets up.

Throw the lighthouse lens round with your thumb and it turns with real weight, slows down and settles on one of its six faces. You can tap a panel instead of dragging.

ASHLAR

A supper club in a stone mine under Bath

ASHLAR on a desktop: the mine’s gallery by lamplight, under the name
ASHLAR on a phone: thirty places, one sitting, and the button to reserve

Before anyone reserves, the page answers what they’ll ask: where to meet, what to wear, when they go down and come back up, and the day places open each month. The button to reserve waits at the start, at the table and with the details.

Scrolling drives a camera down through the mine, past the cut face and up the shaft into daylight. It is drawn on a single canvas, which is what keeps it smooth on a phone.

LEHR

A glassblowing workshop in Bath

LEHR on a desktop: a glowing gather of glass beside Blown at dusk. Yours by noon.
LEHR on a phone: three sessions with their prices, and Book a furnace session

Visitors can book a furnace session from the first screen, compare the three sessions and their prices, and see this week’s pieces, each with its price.

Scroll, and the glass moves the way molten glass really does: the pieces stretch, thin and part as they leave the furnace.

Pellington & Howe

An accountancy firm in Bath

Pellington & Howe on a desktop: the senior partner standing in the office, under the firm’s line
Pellington & Howe on a phone: the free first meeting, the office and its hours

Clients see what the firm does, that the first meeting is free and the fees are fixed in writing, and how to book, with the office hours and the address.

It is also a very proper page that plays three jokes on your scroll. The first drops the senior partner’s suit, and scrolling back puts it on again.

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 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

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.

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.
