Five live builds
All hosted here · open any of them
Not mockups. Working sites with working flows — booking, quoting, checkout. Every one built the same way I'd build yours.
Lakeline Dental Studio
A multi-step booking flow and an honest pricing table — the two things dental patients actually look for.
View live · /clinic-us/ →Ridge & Beam
Heritage roofing, explained visually: an interactive roof diagram feeding a validated quote form.
View live · /roofing-uk/ →API API
Modern Malaysian cooking over open flame — an animated fire menu and a reservation flow that takes four taps.
View live · /restaurant/ →Studio Kilat
A studio site that reads like a portfolio should: a case-study index and a live local-time widget.
View live · /agency/ →TANAH Coffee
Single-origin beans with a working buy box and cart drawer — no Shopify, no per-sale cut.
View live · /ecommerce/ →Yours next.
Send me the business and the problem. I'll send back a fixed price and a date.
Start a project →Beyond the brochure
Two more things worth clicking: a working web application, and exactly what my free speed report looks like.

I audited 50+ UK trades websites in July 2026. Roughly a third failed the phone test. This is the one-page breakdown I send — worked through on a real site.
Read it · /speed-rescue/ →Why hand-coded
A template site carries the weight of every feature you'll never use. A hand-coded site carries yours.
| Template site | Hand-coded | |
|---|---|---|
| First load on mobile | 4–8 seconds | Under 1 second |
| Plugins to keep updated | 15–30 | Zero |
| Monthly platform fees | $20–$70 | $0 |
| Who owns the site | The platform | You do |
About
I'm Rory Phillips, an MEng-trained engineer who builds websites the way engineers build anything: by hand, with a reason for every part. I work with clients in the United States, the United Kingdom and Malaysia, across time zones and without agency overhead. Every project ships with its full source code and a set of plain-English handover notes, so nothing about your own site is a mystery to you.
