Websites that
earn their keep.
Built from scratch in Cambridgeshire, UK, working with businesses of every size worldwide, from a single landing page to a full multi-page site, all built to do their job quietly and well.

You've seen the ads. Build a stunning website in ten minutes. No code needed. Drag, drop, done. And in fairness, those platforms have their place. If you need something simple online quickly, they do the job, and for plenty of people that is genuinely enough.
What they trade for that speed is the bit that often matters most: a site shaped around one template rather than around your business, carrying code you did not choose, on a plan you keep paying to stay live. For some that is a fair trade. For a business where the website is doing real work, it is worth weighing up what you are giving up for the convenience.
Orb55 exists for the businesses that want the alternative. Not everyone needs a full agency, and not every site is one page. Whether you need a single landing page or a site that runs to a dozen, you can have one that loads fast, looks like it was made specifically for you, and keeps working on launch day and every day after, no tinkering, no "just one more plugin."
Every site I build is hand-crafted. The code is clean. The design is considered. Lighthouse scores sit at 90+ across all four categories. That isn't a sales line. Open any design in the showcase on my homepage, hit "Test site speed," and run it through Google's own tool yourself, right there in your browser.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees. No lock-in. You own the code, the design, and the domain, fully yours, forever.
Does a custom build cost more up front than a drag-and-drop builder? Yes, it's a single payment rather than a small monthly one. Over time, though, the comparison shifts. A builder at a fairly typical £45 a month is £1,620 over three years and £2,700 over five, and the site is never quite yours. My sites are paid once and owned outright, so over any real timeframe the sums tend to even out. What you're really paying for is a site built around your business, one that performs like it was engineered by a full team, with nothing owed each month.
I work with startups, growing companies, and established businesses that need room to scale, from one page to many. Whether you're down the road in Cambridgeshire or on the other side of the world, if you need a website that earns trust from the first click, let's talk.
Looking forward to working together,
