Evan Almond, websites and automation
Own a website you are proud of.
I design and build websites for small businesses, and set up systems that take the repetitive admin off your hands. You work with me from the first call to launch day.
Websites from £570Redesigns from £300Automation from £2,400

Wada Farms · Unsolicited rebuild, not commissioned

Is your website letting you down?
Paste in your address for a free check. In about ten seconds you get a plain list of what is broken or slow, and how to check each thing yourself.
Hand over the jobs that eat your week.
If you do something the same way every time, it can probably run on its own. Pick a part of your business to see how, or tell me about one that is not here.
By hand today
Someone fills in your website form. You copy their details into a spreadsheet, then type the same reply you wrote yesterday.
Once it runs by itself
- A customer gets in touch
- Their details go into your spreadsheet
- A reply is drafted in your words
- You read it and press send
I have built a working version that sorts new leads and holds every reply for a person to approve. See how it works
By hand today
Suppliers send quotes as PDFs, each laid out differently. You type the numbers into a sheet and hope you are comparing like with like.
Once it runs by itself
- Quotes arrive by email
- Every figure is read and added up again
- Quotes for the wrong thing are set aside
- You get a shortlist, cheapest first
In my test run, it caught that the cheapest quote was for the wrong quantity. Read the quote checker story
By hand today
Invoices turn up as attachments. Someone keys each one into the accounts and checks the totals by eye.
Once it runs by itself
- An invoice arrives
- The details are read off it
- The totals are checked
- It is filed, or flagged for you
I have built a working version that refuses to file an invoice whose lines do not add up. See how it works
By hand today
You confirm each booking by hand, then text people the day before so they do not forget.
Once it runs by itself
- A booking comes in
- It goes into your calendar
- A confirmation goes out
- A reminder is sent the day before
An example of what I can build for you.
By hand today
Every Friday you pull figures out of three different places and paste them into one report.
Once it runs by itself
- Your figures are collected
- The report is put together
- Each number is checked against its source
- It lands in your inbox
I have built a working version that will not send a report containing a number it cannot trace. See how it works
By hand today
Sometimes the tool you need does not exist yet. A quote calculator, a booking page, a customer portal, or one screen that shows how the business is doing.
Once it runs by itself
- We talk through how you work
- I design it around that
- You try a working version
- It goes live, and it is yours
The free website audit on this site is a system I built. Try it on your own website. Run the free audit

Hosting, monitoring and small updates with optional website care.
Hi, I’m Evan. I design and build every site myself.
I trained in visual effects for film, and I bring the same eye for detail to your website and the systems behind it. You deal with me directly, from the first chat to launch day.
Questions people ask before hiring me
Something else on your mind? Ask me directly.
- What is included in the price?
- Design, page copy, mobile layouts, search setup, an enquiry form, testing and launch. Your quote sets out the exact pages and features. Domain and hosting costs are separate unless you choose the care plan.
- How long does a website take?
- Around one week for a redesign or a one-page site, three weeks or under for a business website, and from three weeks for a custom build. We agree your schedule before starting; timing depends on receiving your content and feedback.
- Will I own my website?
- Yes. You own the site and code, with the domain and hosting account in your name. The care plan is optional, and you can move the site to another provider.
- How does payment work?
- 50% before work starts and 50% on handover. We agree a fixed price in writing. No VAT is added. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted before it is done.
