Shydore · independent web developer

Websites built
without limits.

From a simple idea to a fully engineered digital experience. I'm Shydore, and I design and build every site myself — around what you actually need, never forced into a template.

Simple pricing

One simple plan.

Your site, designed, built, hosted and looked after.

£20 to start one-off — includes your chosen domain*
£14.99 /month hosting, updates & support included

*Subject to availability — premium or high-demand domain names can cost more, and I'll tell you before anything is paid. Bigger builds (stores, bookings, web apps) add a clearly-quoted one-off on top — see pricing.

What I do

The whole stack.
One pair of hands.

You don't need to understand any of the technology below. Bring the idea — I handle everything from the first sketch to the live site.

01

Design

Beautiful interfaces and experiences, designed around the people who'll use them.

  • Custom UI & UX, not templates
  • Visual identity & typography
  • Intentional mobile layouts
  • Prototypes you can click

02

Development

Custom, responsive, production-ready websites built from the ground up.

  • Hand-written front-ends
  • Responsive on every screen
  • Animations that feel expensive
  • Clean, maintainable code

03

Engineering

Complex functionality: APIs, databases, authentication, integrations, custom systems.

  • Web apps & dashboards
  • Payments & e-commerce logic
  • Accounts, logins & data
  • Third-party integrations

04

Deployment

Domains, hosting, Cloudflare, optimisation — everything it takes to go live, handled.

  • Domain setup & DNS
  • Cloudflare edge hosting
  • HTTPS & caching sorted
  • Live within minutes of a change

05

Optimisation

Performance, SEO foundations, accessibility and the technical refinement most sites skip.

  • Fast loads, smooth scrolling
  • Search-ready structure
  • Accessible to everyone
  • Tested on real devices

06

Maintenance

Ongoing improvements, updates, fixes and support after launch — your site keeps evolving.

  • Content & feature updates
  • Bug fixes, fast
  • Improvements to existing sites
  • Migrations & rescues

You don't need to know how websites work — that's my job. Explain the idea in your own words and I'll translate it into design, code and infrastructure.

What I can build

Don't take my word for it.
Try these.

Every demo below is real and live on this page — I built each one into it by hand, no frameworks, no libraries. Click around.

That's six. The full range also covers business sites, product launches, landing pages, event sites, creator sites, custom tools and experimental builds — if it happens on the web, I can probably build it.

The process

Six steps.
Zero jargon required.

You explain the idea — in your own words, no technical terms needed. I take it from there.

01

Tell me the idea your part

Describe what you want, even roughly. "A site where people can book my classes" is a perfectly good brief.

02

Plan my part starts

I work out the best structure, technology and approach for what you actually need — nothing more, nothing less.

03

Design

Visual identity, layout, user experience and interactions take shape. You see it and steer it before anything is built.

04

Build

The website is engineered and brought to life — front-end, back-end, and everything wiring them together.

05

Refine

Tested on real devices, polished, optimised, made responsive. The details most people never notice — but always feel.

06

Launch

Deployed, connected to your domain, and live. And I don't vanish afterwards — see Maintenance.

You don't need to know how websites work. That's my job.

Why Shydore

Why work with me

Custom-built

No cookie-cutter templates — unless a template genuinely makes sense for your budget and goals. Then I'll say so.

Technical freedom

Your site can be as simple or as technically ambitious as it needs to be. The technology never limits the idea.

One person, one point of contact

You deal directly with the developer building your website. No account managers, no hand-offs, nothing lost in translation.

Attention to detail

Small interactions, spacing, responsiveness, performance — the details are the difference between fine and excellent.

Built for real users

Looking good isn't the goal — working well is. Every build is fast, accessible and tested where it matters: in real hands.

Future-ready

Built to evolve. When your needs grow — a store, a booking system, an app — the site grows with them.

Selected work

Proof, not promises

A short list, on purpose. I only show work that is real, live and mine — with numbers you can check, not borrowed screenshots or a padded logo wall.

E-commerce storefront · live

Shydore Creations

The storefront for my own handmade Perk-a-Cola bottle workshop. Its job: turn marketplace browsers into a brand audience and funnel them to the listings — 1,986 bottles shipped across 669 orders says it works.

Hand-written from scratch: a custom animation engine for the product rail, structured data for search, edge-cached deploys, all tuned for phones first. And because I run the business behind it, I know what a website is actually for: sales, not decoration.

Studio site · you are here

This website

The site you're reading is its own case study: one hand-written page, zero frameworks, zero libraries — with six working product demos, scroll-aware animation and a pointer-reactive interface, all running at 60fps.

Every technique on this page is available for yours.

Tools are chosen per project — a landing page shouldn't carry an app's machinery, and an app shouldn't be held back by a page-builder. The right tool, every time.

Pricing

One plan. Honest add-ons.

Most sites run on the simple plan: £20 to start — your chosen domain included — then £14.99 a month for hosting, updates and support. A landing page and a complex web application shouldn't cost the same, so bigger builds add a clearly-quoted one-off on top.

About

I'm Shydore.
I build things for the web.

Not "passionate about synergising digital solutions" — I just genuinely like making things. Websites, apps, stores, experiments. The web is the workshop.

I combine development, design and a habit of taking problems apart until they make sense. That means the person designing your site is the same person engineering it — so nothing gets lost between the idea and the build.

I'm independent, based in Wales, and I keep this deliberately small: a few projects at a time, full attention on each. When you email, you get me — the same person who'll design, build and launch your site.
