Why Choose Dean Da Dev
A direct line to the person actually building your site.
No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no templates unless you ask for one.
UK based
Working UK hours, no time zone headaches, no offshore handoffs.
Custom coded
No page-builder bloat unless you specifically want one — clean, fast code by default.
No templates unless requested
Every site is designed around your business, not a recycled theme.
Direct communication
You talk to the developer building your site — no account managers.
Ongoing support
Help after launch is standard, not an upsell.
Fast turnaround
Most websites launch in 1–3 weeks depending on scope.

Modern, Lean Development
Why does it cost less?
Traditional software projects often involve several people, lengthy processes, and substantial overhead. I use a modern development stack and AI-assisted tools to move faster. You pay for the finished result — not unnecessary development hours.
✓ Architect the application
✓ Review the code
✓ Build the frontend and backend
✓ Configure infrastructure
✓ Test functionality
✓ Handle deployment and remain responsible

Lean modern development process
Prices and timelines depend on scope and complexity. Not every app can be built for £699.
Optional Ongoing Support

Launching is only the beginning. Choose ongoing care if you want me to keep looking after your website or application — or manage it yourself. You retain ownership either way.

FAQ
Common questions before you get in touch.
How long does it take?
Most websites launch within 1–3 weeks. Focused app tools often take 3–7 days and many starter web apps take 1–2 weeks. Timings depend on the agreed scope and how quickly content and feedback arrive.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Once the final invoice is paid, the site, its code, and its content are entirely yours — no ongoing licence fee to keep it live.
Do I need to pay everything upfront?
Not necessarily. Projects over £500 can use milestone payments. The exact stages and amounts are agreed before work begins.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes. Redesigns follow the same process as a new build — I review what you already have, keep what is working, and rebuild the rest around your existing content and branding.
Do you provide hosting?
Yes. Hosting guidance is included with every package, and fully managed hosting is available as part of a maintenance plan.
Can you help with SEO?
Yes. Every package includes basic on-page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, structure), and the Business and Elite tiers add deeper, keyword-focused SEO work.
