Liam Rutherford · Rutherford Studio
Fast, professional websites for small businesses.
You get a site that loads fast, looks credible, and turns visitors into enquiries — built and supported directly by the engineer who makes it, not an account manager relaying your requests to someone else.
What you get
A website that works as hard as you do.
New website
A new site built from scratch — fast, mobile-first, and easy for customers to act on. Ready to launch in weeks, not months.
- Custom design, not a template
- Built for speed and conversions
- Launch-ready in 2–4 weeks
Redesign & rebuild
Outgrown your current site, or it's slow and hard to update? I'll rebuild it on modern, maintainable foundations without losing what already works.
- Keeps your rankings and content
- Faster load times, cleaner code
- No more fighting the platform
Ongoing care & support
Websites need upkeep. I handle updates, small changes, and fixes directly — so you're not stuck waiting on a ticket queue.
- Direct line to the person who built it
- Fast turnaround on changes
- Proactive fixes before they're a problem
Why Rutherford Studio
Engineering discipline, applied to your website.
Built by an engineer, not an agency
I write production software for a living. Your site is built with the same rigor — clean code, sensible architecture, no shortcuts that come back to bite you.
You talk to the person doing the work
No account managers, no handoffs between departments. One point of contact, start to finish.
Fast by default
Modern tooling, optimized images, and no bloated page-builder plugins — your site loads quickly on any connection, out of the box.
You own everything
Your code, your domain, your content. Nothing held hostage in a proprietary platform if you ever want to move on.
How it works
No surprises, from first call to launch.
- 01
Discovery call
A short, no-pressure call to understand your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do for you.
- 02
Design & build
I design and build in the open — you'll see working progress, not a black box, with regular check-ins along the way.
- 03
Launch
Your site goes live on fast, reliable infrastructure, with everything handed over cleanly and nothing locked behind an agency.
- 04
Support
After launch, I stay reachable for changes, questions, and fixes — not a one-and-done handoff.
FAQ
Common questions.
How much does a website cost?
My starting rate is from £750. Most small-business sites land between £750 and £2.5k depending on scope — tell me about your project on the form below and I'll give you a straight answer.
How long does it take?
Most projects launch within 2–4 weeks of kickoff, depending on scope and how quickly content and feedback come back to me.
Do you do the design too?
Yes — design and build are both handled by me, so nothing gets lost in translation between a designer and a developer.
What happens after launch?
I stick around. Small changes, content updates, and fixes are handled directly and quickly — no ticket queue, no waiting on an agency.
What platforms do you build on?
Modern, fast, maintainable code — no bloated page builders. You get a site that's quick to load and easy for a future developer (or me) to work on.
