Corey Musa · Cardiff · based in Switzerland

Your new website is already built.

I am Corey Musa, a software developer from Cardiff, working from Switzerland. I find small businesses on Britain’s high streets whose websites undersell them, and I rebuild the site in full before anyone asks me to. What lands in the owner’s inbox is not a quote or a deck. It is a working link.

If one of my emails brought you here, the preview in it is real and it is yours to look at for as long as you like. Nothing is owed unless you decide to keep it. Then it is £2,000, fixed, and the site goes live on your own domain within two weeks.

The work

Recent concept rebuilds

Six of the most recent builds, all live right now. To be clear about what these are: concept rebuilds I researched and built without being asked, for real businesses that had never heard of me. None of them is a paying client and none of them endorses me. They are here because they show the standard of thing that turns up in an owner’s inbox.

How it works

Four steps, in the honest order

1

I build first

I research the business and build the full site unasked, on my own time. You hear from me only when there is something finished to look at.

2

You get a link

A working preview on its own address, no obligation. Read it on your phone, send it to your family, ignore it entirely. All fine.

3

Keep it if you want it

If you want it, £2,000 fixed. The site goes live on your own domain within two weeks, and I handle the DNS cutover myself.

4

You own everything

The domain stays yours throughout. On day 60 I hand over the source code, and the whole site is yours outright.

The numbers

What it costs, all of it

  • Fully remote
  • One round of revisions

First year, all in

Hosting and care, 12 months£1,800

After year one it is the monthly care alone. Leave whenever you like.

Why I work this way

Why build before asking?

Because it is the only honest order to do this in. Most agencies sell a promise: a deck, a mood board, a contract, then months later the work. I would not buy a website that way, and I do not expect you to. Building first means the risk sits with me, where it belongs.

If the finished thing is not plainly better than what you have, you close the tab and you have lost two minutes. If it is better, you keep it for £2,000 and it is live inside two weeks. Either way, nobody has been sold anything they could not see first.

Questions

Asked by owners, answered straight

Is the preview really free to look at?

Yes. The site was built before you knew about it, so the cost of looking is already spent. The link stays up either way, no invoice follows, and if you never reply that is a normal outcome. Most people do not.

What does £2,000 actually include?

The finished site you saw in the preview, adjusted with one round of revisions, moved onto your own domain with the DNS cutover handled, and live within two weeks of you saying yes. Hosting and care is £150 a month after that, and on day 60 the source code is handed over to you.

What happens to my current site and domain?

Your domain stays yours, before, during and after. I never take ownership of it. Your current site keeps running until the new one is live, then the domain simply points at the new site. If you ever leave, you take the domain with you, and after day 60 the code as well.

Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?

Because there is one of me. No office, no account managers, no pitch meetings billed back to you. And by the time we speak, the research and the build are already done. You are paying for a finished thing, not for the process of making it.
