What I build for Carmarthen businesses
This page is about websites and web apps only: design, build and launch. Browser extensions and SaaS products are on the main site if you need them later.
Production sites in Next.js (like this portfolio), contact forms, service pages, speed optimisation, and free hosting on Vercel so you are not paying monthly platform fees on top of your build.

Why work with a Carmarthen-based developer?
You’re not talking to a distant agency queue. You get direct contact, clear timelines, and honest advice about what’s worth building for your budget.
I understand the local market: seasonal tourism, Welsh and English audiences, rural patchy mobile signal (so performance matters), and how customers actually find trades and services here.
Past work includes tools and sites used nationally; locally I’m focused on helping Carmarthenshire businesses look as professional online as they do in person.

A bit about me
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Zak Furness, a freelance web designer and developer based in Carmarthen, West Wales. I work from home and build sites for businesses that need something clear, fast, and easy for customers to use on a phone.
I'm based in Carmarthen town centre and work with businesses across the county and wider Wales.
I've been doing web development for 7+ years, mostly through Fiverr and Upwork, working with 180+ clients on websites, browser extensions, and SaaS projects. Recently I've been focusing more on direct work with local businesses, so you deal with me on WhatsApp or a call, not an agency account manager.

FAQs for Carmarthen
- Are you actually based in Carmarthen?
- Yes. I’m based in Carmarthen town and serve clients across the town, county and wider Wales. WhatsApp me anytime or book a call when you’re ready to discuss a quote.
- How long does a typical build take?
- A straightforward brochure site is often a few weeks from signed-off content. Larger builds with integrations or many templates take longer. We’ll agree milestones up front.
- Do you only work in Carmarthen?
- Carmarthen is home base, but I work across Wales and with remote clients in the UK. See the areas we serve page for other locations as they go live.
- 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.
