Why one person, not an agency

You deal with me from the first message to launch day and after. No account managers, no handovers, and nobody new to explain your business to. I write the plan, build the site and answer the emails myself, which is why most sites are live within two weeks of the content being ready.

Cardiff-based

A Cardiff business building for Cardiff businesses

I'm Charlie. Coreframe Digital is based in Cardiff. I started the business because I kept seeing local tradespeople and small businesses paying over the odds for websites that weren't doing anything for them.

I build tailored, lightweight websites with clean technical search foundations and full code ownership. Search visibility still depends on the content, local relevance, reputation and competition, so the foundations are paired with an honest plan rather than ranking promises.

Cardiff-based. Available to meet in person. Working across South Wales.

Also working in Pontypridd, where two of my three client sites are. Web design Pontypridd

Common questions

Do you only work with Cardiff businesses?

Not just Cardiff. I work with businesses across South Wales, mostly by email. If you're local and would rather meet in person, I'm happy to.

How long does a website take?

Typically 7 to 14 days once the scope and your content are agreed.

How much does a website cost in Cardiff?

Starter is £500 for one page and Trade Pro is £750 for up to five pages, with a fixed price agreed before any work starts. Agencies in Cardiff typically start around £3,000. Full pricing is on the pricing page. See pricing

Do I have to pay monthly?

No. There's no compulsory monthly rental and the website is yours after final payment. Care plans are optional, from £79 a month.

What makes you different from other Cardiff web designers?

I build tailored, lightweight websites with strong performance and technical search foundations, and you own the finished code outright. I also understand automation, so your website can connect sensibly to the way your business handles enquiries and follow-up.

Can I see examples of your work?

Yes. I built the live websites for Evans Fencing & Landscapes, a Cardiff fencing and landscaping business, and for two Pontypridd flooring businesses, Floor Fitter Wales and Celtic Flooring, along with the admin system behind Floor Fitter Wales. This website is mine too. The full case studies are on the Results page. Coreframe Digital is a new business, so the portfolio is growing, and I'm happy to walk you through exactly how I'd approach your project. See live trade sites

Is there a contract?

A simple written agreement, no lock-in. 50% upfront, 50% on launch.

Who owns the website?

You do. Once the final payment is made, the site and the domain are yours. If you ever leave, I transfer everything to you within two weeks.
