Serving Cardiff
Web design & development in Cardiff
Cardiff is Wales’s capital, and most businesses here are compared against bigger agencies before they’ve even requested a quote. I’m Zak Furness, working from Carmarthen with clients across Cardiff city centre, Cardiff Bay, and the Valleys-facing firms that use a Cardiff postcode. You get bespoke web design and Next.js builds: sharp on mobile, easy to contact, and delivered without the overhead of a large city studio.
Cardiff, capital city and commercial centre of Wales
I’m not a Cardiff office with account managers. I’m a developer you reach on WhatsApp or book for a call when you want a scoped quote. Most Cardiff projects run remotely with staging links for review before launch.

What I build for Cardiff businesses
This page is web design and development only. Extensions, SaaS products, and larger app builds are on the main site if your brief grows beyond a marketing website.
Fast Next.js sites with structured service pages, forms that notify you, performance tuned for mobile, and free Vercel hosting with no monthly hosting fees, just your domain renewal each year.
Why hire a Cardiff web developer based in Carmarthen?
Capital-city rates don’t have to mean capital-city retainers. You work with one person who designs, builds, and launches, which is useful when you want clarity on cost and timeline.
Cardiff firms span the city centre, the Bay, and suppliers working across South Wales. Sites need to speak to that mix without feeling like a generic capital-city template.
You get production-grade Next.js builds with free Vercel hosting, so you’re not stacking monthly platform fees on top of agency day rates.

FAQs for Cardiff
- Do you work with Cardiff businesses from outside the city?
- Yes. I’m based in Carmarthen and serve Cardiff remotely. WhatsApp for quick replies and booked calls for quotes. No requirement to meet in person.
- Can you compete with Cardiff agencies on quality?
- You get the same modern stack (Next.js, responsive design, solid performance). The difference is workflow: direct contact, lean process, and pricing that reflects a freelance model.
- How much does a website cost?
- Websites start from £300 depending on complexity and the features you need. I’ll give you a fixed quote after we scope the work. No surprise invoices.
- Is hosting included, or do I pay every month?
- There’s no monthly hosting bill from me. Your site runs on Vercel’s free hosting tier, so you’re not paying a platform subscription on top of the build. Your main ongoing cost is usually just renewing your domain name each year, typically around £10–£15 with most registrars.
- Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy?
- Those builders are fine if you want to do it yourself on a template, but they charge a monthly subscription. Over five years that often adds up to more than £1,250 for a basic site, and if you stay longer you can end up spending thousands. You’re usually renting space on their platform rather than owning a site you can move freely. A custom build on free hosting is one project cost plus your domain, without being locked into their billing forever.
- Do you offer a maintenance service?
- Yes. For £50 a month I host the site for you and include one hour of changes each month (new photos, small text edits, and similar). I’m also happy to set you up on free hosting and transfer the site so you own it and have nothing else to pay beyond your domain renewal.
