Colibri · web studio in Oxford
I design and build fast, beautiful websites for barbers, cafés, salons and local trades. You see your new site before you pay a penny, and it goes live in about three days.
Drag the slider. On the left, how a lot of local businesses still look online. On the right, the same barber shop after a Colibri redesign.
Both are example designs with made-up names, built to show the difference.
Every design starts from the business, not from a template. A bakery should feel warm, a plumber should feel urgent and reliable, a nail studio should feel like a treat.
Long-fermented sourdough, cardamom buns and properly good coffee. Baked every morning from 7.
Warm, appetising and simple. The menu and opening hours are the first things you see, with a button to order ahead for collection.
Regular and end-of-tenancy cleaning across Oxford. The same friendly cleaner every visit, and your price in ten seconds.
Built around trust and a fast decision: guarantees up front, and an instant price calculator so visitors book instead of "getting back to you".
Elegant and a little luxurious. Colour swatches instead of stock photos, a clear treatment list with times, and booking through the app they already use.
Loud and practical, because people find a plumber in a panic. The emergency number sits at the top of every page and the call button is impossible to miss.
These are concept sites with made-up business names and example phone numbers, made to show the range of styles. Your mockup is designed around your own business, photos and prices.
How it works
You only pay once you've seen your design and you're happy with it.
Your business name or a Google Maps link is enough to start.
A real homepage designed for your business, ready to open on your phone.
Change colours, photos, prices or wording. Two rounds of edits are included.
Domain, HTTPS and your Google profile all connected. You're open online.
Freelance web designers in the UK typically charge £500–£1,500 for a small business site. Colibri is new to Oxford, so these introductory prices are lower while I build the local portfolio.
For businesses with no website yet
For shops that want to show more
Optional. I keep your site online, safe and up to date, so you never have to think about it. Cancel any time and the site stays yours.
Who's behind Colibri
Colibri is a one-person web studio in Oxford. When you send a message, you talk to the person who designs and builds your site. No account managers, no jargon, no 40-page contracts.
Colibri is French for hummingbird: small, quick and very precise. That's the idea behind every site I make.
Questions
Yes. I design your homepage first so you can see exactly what you'd get. If it's not for you, you owe nothing and there's no awkward follow-up.
No. I can register a .co.uk domain in your name and host the site for you. If you already have a domain, I'll use that.
You do. The domain is registered to you, and if you ever leave the care plan you get all the files.
Those apps are great for bookings and orders, but there you sit right next to your competitors, and they take a cut. Your own site shows only you, comes up when people search your name, and still links to your booking or ordering app.
By bank transfer: half once you've approved the design, the rest when the site goes live. The care plan is a simple monthly payment you can stop any time.
Of course. On the care plan, send a message with what to change and it's usually done the same day. Without the plan, small edits are £15 each.
