Websites You Own
I build websites for Prestwich businesses that you own and control. You can edit them yourself, move them to any hosting provider, and never pay me again if you don't want to. No monthly subscriptions, no vendor lock-in.
I'm Stef, a web developer with over 20 years of experience, based in Prestwich, Manchester. I use open source tools like Ruby on Rails and Eleventy to make sites that load fast, rank well on Google, and cost very little to host.
You get the complete source code for everything I build, delivered via GitHub. My own tools and templates are all open source (here's my code repository) - but your website doesn't have to be public if you don't want it to be. I have transparent, flat-rate pricing so you know exactly what you're paying for.
My rate is discounted 50% for charities, co-operatives, artists, musicians, and sustainable businesses.
I also write free guides about building websites and create online marketing advice videos to help you grow.
What I can do for you
- New websites that load quickly and are easy for you to update
- Custom web applications - booking systems, databases, business tools
- SEO audits - clear instructions for ranking higher on Google
- Website content advice - a prioritised list of improvements
- Hosting and migrations - escape expensive platforms
- Expert tech advice - plain-English guidance on any tech decision
- Free marketing guides and videos to help you do it yourself

A business built to serve the community
Chobble is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC), which means it's regulated to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.
In practice, that means: any surplus gets reinvested into reducing costs for community-focused clients, not extracted as private profit. I'm formally committed to serving small businesses, charities, co-operatives, and community organisations, especially in Greater Manchester.
