Websites

A website should make the thing clear before it tries to look clever.

I build compact, trustworthy websites for projects, founders, and small businesses that need a clear explanation of what they offer without becoming a generic template.

Fit

Good match when the page needs to sell clearly without a big agency setup.

Good fit

Founders, solo consultants, and small businesses with an offer that needs sharper explaining.

Not the best fit

Large campaign sites, heavy custom branding, complex CMS builds, or teams looking for a full agency.

Standard

This isn't about looking nice. It's about working fast, on mobile, for a stranger who just landed on the page.

Speed

Under 2.5 seconds until the main content is visible.

Google's own thresholds for a good page draw the line at 2.5 seconds for the largest visible content (LCP), under 200 milliseconds for the page to respond to a click or tap (INP), and visual stability within 0.1 (CLS), so content doesn't jump around while the page loads.

Mobile first

Most visitors open the page on a phone.

For small business sites, roughly two-thirds of traffic or more now comes from mobile. A page designed for desktop and made to "also work" on mobile loses visitors before they reach the offer.

Accessibility

Readable text, real headings, keyboard-friendly.

Proper contrast, a logical heading structure, and a layout that works with a keyboard and screen reader. It isn't an afterthought. It's part of the build itself, and it makes the page better for everyone, not just the few who need it.

Well-known research from Google finds that the chance a visitor abandons a page increases by roughly 32 percent as load time goes from one to three seconds, and considerably more after that. Other page-speed studies find that every extra second can cost roughly 7 percent in conversions. The exact numbers vary between studies, but the direction is the same every time: this isn't a technical detail reserved for developers, it's the difference between a website that actually turns visitors into inquiries.

Mistakes

The same mistakes keep showing up on small business websites.

  • Template looks with placeholder text that never got replaced.
  • Three buttons competing for attention, or no clear call to action.
  • Designed for a wide screen and shrunk down to mobile afterward, instead of the other way round.
  • Heavy plugin stacks and images that were never optimized.
  • Pricing or an offer visitors have to dig through text to understand.

Examples

Concrete examples, and the same static approach behind them.

3 examples
Service page

From a broad offer to concrete AI packages.

New structure with packages, starting prices, cases, and a more direct path to a decision.

Ebooks

Material made easier to find and evaluate.

A unified page flow with status, metadata, and download logic, so the content feels active.

This page

Same approach, used across all of deskdude.dk.

Static HTML and CSS, a shared design system reused across pages, and a structure built to load fast. The page you're reading right now is the example.

The same approach applies whether it's a product page, a service page, or the site you're looking at right now:

  • Static HTML/CSS, no heavy CMS to log into.
  • No plugin stack that needs updating and maintaining.
  • Honest copy without buzzwords and inflated promises.
  • The same design system reused across pages, not reinvented every time.
