// hand-coded in Norwich, UK

Websites built by hand, not assembled from templates.

I'm Jake Kidde-Hansen, a Norwich web developer with over 20 years' experience. I write every site from scratch - no page builders, no bloated plugins, nothing you're paying to maintain forever.

Each site comes with its own simple CMS, built around your content, so you can change prices, photos and pages yourself. For anything bigger, you deal with me directly.

What you get

  • editing

    Update it yourself

    Your site comes with a CMS designed around your content - only the fields you need, nothing to break and no updates to install.

  • build

    Built for you, not from a kit

    Every site is coded from the ground up, so you get exactly the features you need and nothing you don't - no unused plugins slowing pages down.

  • security

    Secure by default

    Written to block the common attacks that catch out small business sites - the basics that keep yours off the front page of a breach report.

  • performance

    Fast on any connection

    Lean code and efficient databases mean pages load quickly, which matters for visitors and search rankings. Your site can even install to a phone's home screen and work offline.

Yours, with no lock-in

When the site is paid for, it belongs to you, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you like. Read who owns what.

  • domain

    Registered in your name

    You are the domain's registered owner. I just handle the renewals and settings for you.

  • site

    You own it all

    The site, its content and every login you need to manage it are yours.

  • leaving

    Leave any time

    Ask, and I'll hand over the files and databases and transfer your domain. Any decent developer can pick it up.

Moving from Wix, Squarespace or WordPress?

I'll bring your content across and rebuild your site from the ground up - faster, lighter, more secure, and fully yours. You keep your domain, and you get a CMS that only shows you what your site actually needs.

Who this is for

Artisans, independent professionals and small businesses who've outgrown a template site, or who'd rather skip one altogether. If you want a site that's quick, secure and easy to update - and that you actually own - that's the work I do.

Fundi is Swahili for a skilled craftsman. It's how I approach every site: made properly, by hand, to last.

Is your site holding you back?

Tell me what you've got and what you need, and I'll give you an honest view of whether a rebuild is worth it.
