We talk
Tell me about your business. I often start with a prototype so you can see the direction before you commit.
I do the work
The research, the words and the design. These take the most care and make a site genuinely good.
I build it
Fast and properly, on modern foundations, with speed and security built in.
You own it
The site is live, and it is yours. I am still here if you need me.
What clients say
We collaborate with a limited selection of Canterbury and Kent businesses at any one time to ensure absolute focus on speed, security, and conversion metrics.

Hello, I am Alex.
Founder, designer and developer. Canterbury.
I am a web designer and developer based in Canterbury, and More Than Normal is my studio. I work with one or two clients at a time, so your project gets proper attention rather than being passed around a team.
The things people usually ask.
Most small business sites land between £800 and £2,500, depending on size. Every price is fixed and agreed up front, so there are no surprises.
Your £300 prototype cost comes straight off the price of the full build for the same project, so nothing is wasted by starting with one.
No. Writing the copy is part of the service. I research your business and write it for you, then we refine it together.
You do, completely. There is no lock-in and no monthly rental for the site itself.
I set up your site on your own Google Cloud space where hosting is free for standard local traffic. Alternatively, our £30/month managed plan covers updates, forms, and performance monitoring.
