Three businesses. Three clearer ways forward.

Real projects built around how each owner wanted the business to work, from handling enquiries to selling courses and making the move into full-time self-employment.

Clear beats clever.

Character beats generic.

The next step stays obvious.

Start with the decision

Before colours and layouts, we decide what the visitor needs to understand, trust and do next.

Design something ownable

Your site should feel recognisably yours—not like the same template with a different logo dropped in.

Build the real thing

Strategy, design and development stay connected, so good ideas survive all the way to launch.

One focused sprint.
No agency fog.

You work directly with me from the first review to the final launch. The sprint improves the journey your existing attention lands on; it does not promise to create demand from nothing.

A good fit looks like

  • An established service and existing customers
  • A clear offer that needs a clearer website
  • One decision-maker ready to move promptly
  • Capacity for more suitable bookings or enquiries

Not designed for pre-revenue ideas, ecommerce, custom software, full rebrands or unlimited revisions.

After the rebuild: suitable clients can continue with a separate six-month managed SEO programme at £800 per month.

Why I stopped hiding behind an agency-shaped brand.

Websites by Ricardo makes the working relationship explicit: the person asking the commercial questions is also the person designing and building the site.
