Why work with me

You get the expert. Not the intern.

I'm a senior digital specialist — not an agency where your brief gets handed to a junior. Every project gets my full attention, my decade of experience, and a direct line to me throughout.

  • Fixed price — no surprise invoices
  • Direct access — no account managers
  • Senior expertise on every project
  • Fast turnaround without cutting corners
  • Honest advice, even when it's not what you want to hear
The problem

Most businesses are stuck between two bad options.

Two options dominate — and both let you down. There's a better way.

Big agency

Premium work, painful everything else
  • £10k–£100k+ project fees
  • Months of slow delivery
  • Account managers, not makers
  • Hidden costs & retainer lock-in
The better way

Grain Digital

Agency quality, human scale
  • Agency-quality output & craft
  • Direct access to the person doing the work
  • Transparent, fixed pricing upfront
  • Weeks to launch, not months

DIY builder

Cheap to start, costly to live with
  • Looks cheap, feels cheap
  • Template prison — limited by the tool
  • No strategy, no expertise, no SEO
  • Your weekends, gone

From hello to live, in six clear steps.

A simple, transparent journey that keeps you in control the whole way — no jargon, no surprises, no disappearing for weeks.

A free, no-pressure 30 minutes. We talk goals, audience, and whether I'm the right fit — no obligation either way.

Build

Clean, fast, accessible code with SEO and Core Web Vitals baked in from the first commit.

What if I need something between two tiers?

I will work with you to shape something within your budget, if you have something specific in mine, give me a call for a chat.

How long does a project take?

Each project is different, that's really down to how fast we want to work. We can go quickly or slowly. For me, the important thing is delivery. Something can be turned around within 2 weeks, depending on the scope.

Are there really no hidden costs?

I will walk you through everything before you commit to ensure we've covered everything and you know exactly what you're signing up for. If anything additional is requested after the agreed scope, we'll discuss it in terms of value to the overall project and an additional cost may be agreed, but nothing will be done without your approval.

What happens after launch?

There is a 3 month period where I guide you through your selected tool and help you so that you're compfortable and we can run through any bugs that will inevitably arise.
