Website repair
White screens, 500s, broken checkouts, forms that silently swallow leads, plugin conflicts, expired certificates. I find the real cause, not the symptom.
- Same-day triage for emergencies
- Plain-English write-up of the cause
Taking on new projects
I fix the websites that are quietly costing small businesses customers. Broken layouts, slow loading, dead SEO, ageing platforms — audited free within 24 hours, most fixes live within 48. And you don’t pay a penny until it is.
[01] Proof
Drag the handle. This is a demonstration rather than a client case study — but every fault on the left is one I genuinely get called about: headings spilling out of their container, a nav knocked out of line, cards that don’t share a baseline, and vitals in the red.
Drag the handle — or use the arrow keys
[02] Services
Pick a single fix or hand me the whole thing. Either way you get one engineer, a price agreed in advance, and a date.
White screens, 500s, broken checkouts, forms that silently swallow leads, plugin conflicts, expired certificates. I find the real cause, not the symptom.
Content overflowing on mobile, wonky breakpoints, Safari-only bugs, images stretching, text colliding. Tested on real devices, not just a resized window.
Render-blocking scripts, unoptimised images, bloated themes, no caching, chatty third-party tags. I keep going until Core Web Vitals are in the green.
Technical SEO first: crawlability, sitemaps, canonical chaos, thin metadata, schema markup, local listings and the redirects your last migration broke.
Stuck on an ancient PHP, an abandoned theme or a host that keeps falling over? I modernise it, or rebuild it properly, without losing your URLs.
Malware clean-up, hardening, off-site backups and updates, so the thing I fixed stays fixed. Ongoing upkeep by arrangement — no subscription to sign.
[03] About
No agency, no team, no office. One engineer who wants your site to be good.
Flowly is me — Harry. I graduated as an engineer recently, and I’m building my portfolio by fixing and rebuilding websites for small businesses near me.
That’s the honest deal, and it cuts both ways. I don’t have ten years of case studies behind me yet. What I do have is the time to care about your site more than an agency juggling forty accounts, prices set to build a portfolio rather than pay for an office, and every reason in the world to do work I’d be proud to show the next person who asks.
You get me from start to finish. The person who audits your site is the person who writes the code, and the person who picks up the phone when something breaks at 8pm on a Friday.
— Harry
[//] What I commit to
[04] Why Flowly
Most web work stalls in process — briefs, calls, sign-offs, someone picking it up in three weeks. There is none of that here. You talk to the person doing the work, and the work starts the same day.
Start with a free auditA single fix usually goes out within two working days. A performance and SEO pass takes about a week, a full rebuild two to three. You get the date before you commit to anything.
No deposit, no setup fee, no card details before I’ve done anything. I invoice once the work is live and you’ve told me you’re happy with it — so the risk of hiring someone new sits with me, not you.
The audit comes back with a figure. No hourly meter, no scope-creep invoices. If I underestimate the job that’s my problem to absorb, not yours to pay for.
Every change is built and tested on a copy of your site, then pushed live in one go. If anything looks wrong, I roll it back in seconds.
Every job ends with a before/after report: Lighthouse scores, load times, the bugs that are gone and exactly what changed. You can check every claim I make.
No ticket queue, no junior picking it up in three weeks, nobody relaying your questions to someone else. You have my email and I answer it myself.
You keep ownership of the code, the hosting, the domain and every account. Walk away whenever you like — nothing is held hostage.
[05] Process
You send a web address. That’s genuinely the hard part done.
Send me the URL. I go through the site properly and send back a plain-English list of what’s broken, what’s slow and what it’s costing you. No call required.
You pick what you want done and I come back with one figure and one date. Say yes in a reply — no contract to negotiate, and nothing to pay at this stage.
The work happens on a staging clone, so your real site is never at risk. You get a preview link and can watch it come together.
I push it live at a quiet hour, check everything, and send the before/after report. Only then do you get a bill. Two weeks of free aftercare follow every job.
[06] Your account
Every client gets a private account centre. Invoices, receipts, anything recurring, the preview of the site I’m building you, and one message thread with me — without a single “can you resend that?” email.

Homepage is looking great. Can we make the phone number bigger on mobile?
Have a click around— that’s the actual account centre running on sample data for a made-up joinery firm. Yours looks the same, with your work in it.
A private preview link for the work in progress, live from day one. Open it on your own phone, send it to a colleague, tell me what to change. Nothing touches your real site until you have said yes.
What is owed, what is paid, what it was for, line by line. Download the PDF of any invoice years later without asking me to dig it out of an inbox.
If you are ever on an ongoing plan you see the price, the date it next bills and how to stop it. No card on file, no automatic renewal you have to catch.
Questions, bugs, changes — all in one place, kept permanently. Six months from now you can still check what was agreed rather than searching your inbox for it.
No password to forget, either — you enter your email and I send you a link. And it costs nothing extra: it comes with the job.
[07] Pricing
Starting estimates for typical jobs, not a fixed menu. Your audit comes back with one exact figure — and once you’ve agreed it, it doesn’t move. You’re invoiced after the work is live, never before it begins.
Estimate from£99
One specific thing that’s broken.
Estimate from£499
Make the site you have work properly.
Estimate from£849
Start again, and do it properly.
Every figure above is an estimate, billed only once the work is live and signed off. Something bigger or stranger than the three boxes? Send it over and I’ll scope it properly rather than guess.
The standard
Every developer says they build fast, accessible websites. Mine is sitting in front of you — so check it rather than take my word for it. Tab through it without a mouse, open the source, or run it through Google’s own tool:
Desktop
Desktop run. Don’t take my word for it — run the test yourself. It takes about thirty seconds and it’s free.
These are the same standards every site I build is held to.
[08] Guides
19 plain-English guides to the parts of a website that actually matter. No jargon, no sign-up. Useful whether you hire me or fix it yourself.
What a website is really for, what a bad one costs you, and how to judge your own honestly.
What LCP, CLS and INP mean in plain English, why they affect rankings, and what actually makes sites slow.
What responsive design actually means, the things that break most often on phones, and how to test properly.
What accessibility means in practice, why it is both a legal and commercial issue, and the changes that help most.
How search engines find and understand your pages, and the technical faults that quietly keep you out of results.
How to show up in local searches and the map pack — usually the highest-value SEO work a local business can do.
[09] FAQ
Something else on your mind? Ask it in the form below — I answer these myself.
Fair question, and it’s the reason I structured things the way I did. You pay nothing upfront, nothing until the work is live, and nothing at all if I can’t deliver what I quoted. The free audit also means you see how I think about your site before any money is involved. The prices are what they are because I’m building a portfolio — you’re getting the benefit of that, and I’m getting work I can show.
The audit comes back inside 24 hours. A single fix is usually live within 48 hours of you approving the estimate. A performance and SEO pass takes about a week, a full rebuild two to three. If your site is down or your checkout is broken, that jumps the queue and I start the same day.
They’re starting estimates for typical jobs, not a fixed menu. Once I’ve audited your site I’ll give you one exact figure — and that figure doesn’t move afterwards. If the job turns out bigger than I judged, absorbing that is my problem, not something I come back to you about.
No. I work with whatever you already have. If your host is genuinely the bottleneck I’ll say so and show you the numbers, but the decision stays yours and I never take ownership of your accounts.
No. Everything is built on a copy and pushed live in a single deploy, usually outside your busiest hours. I keep a restore point, so if anything looks off we’re back to the previous version in seconds.
For the audit, just the web address. To do the work I’ll need admin access to your site and hosting, which you can revoke the moment I’m done. No long onboarding and no 40-question brief.
There’s nothing to pay upfront — no deposit, no setup fee. I invoice in full once the work is live and you’ve confirmed you’re happy with it, payable within 14 days. Bank transfer is easiest, and you get a proper invoice for your records.
[10] Free audit
I’ll go through your site properly and write back within 24 hours with what’s broken, what’s slow, and what it would cost to put right. No call, no pitch deck, no obligation.
