What I do
I design and build websites for small businesses: quick to load, easy to update, and useful first.
About
Crashielab is one person, on purpose.
I’m the independent developer behind Crashielab. I design and build websites, online shops and web apps, bringing the visual design and the underlying code together.
My work ranges from WordPress and WooCommerce storefronts to Django apps for publishing, memberships and events. I care about clear journeys, useful details and a handover that makes the next step easy. We work through email, with a clear scope and room for your feedback.

I work entirely by email, so there are no calls to dread. Every project starts with a friendly, free email conversation. The price is shaped around your project, and you always get a written scope and a handover you can use.
Specialist builds: membership websites for associations, WooCommerce shops for personalised products and custom WordPress themes.

Questions
- How much does a website cost?
- There is no fixed price list. I work entirely by email, with no phone calls, and every project starts with a free email conversation; the price is shaped around your project, and you get a written scope before any work begins.
- How long does it take to build a website?
- A landing page takes about 1 week. A full multi-page website takes 3 to 5 weeks. Web apps are scoped per project.
- Will I see the design before it is built?
- Yes. You see and shape the design before any code is written, and you sign off a proof before anything goes live.
- Can I update the website myself afterwards?
- Yes. A full website comes with a CMS for easy edits, plus a handover so you know how to use it.
- What happens after launch?
- A full website includes support after go-live. Web apps can continue on an ongoing retainer.
- Who does Crashielab work with?
- Small businesses and growing teams. Crashielab is one independent developer, not an agency, so you deal with the person doing the work.
- Do you work with clients in other countries?
- Yes. All work happens remotely by email, so there are no calls to fit across time zones.
