Leeward · Design-led web studio
Websites worth the voyage.
A one-man studio building bespoke websites for resorts, restaurants and independents — interfaces that feel as good as the place does, and bookings that come to you instead of the platforms.
Your best guests are booking through someone else.
Booking.com and Airbnb take 15–25% of every stay. OpenTable and TheFork charge for every cover; delivery apps keep up to 30% of every order. Across a season, that is real money — paid for the privilege of serving your own guests.
A website guests actually trust, with booking that belongs to you behind it, brings that home. That is the whole reason Leeward exists.
paid to the platforms every year, at those numbers — revenue a direct-booking site works to bring home.
Run a restaurant? Same drift — covers × average spend × platform cut. We'll chart your numbers on the call.
Three things, done properly.
No templates, no page builders, no juniors. Every site is art-directed and hand-built for one place.
-
Design & build from £1,000
Interfaces are the whole game. A bespoke front end that looks like your place and nowhere else — photography-led, quietly animated, fast on any connection.
-
Direct bookings quoted by scope
Move off third-party booking — OTAs, reservation platforms, delivery portals — onto a system you own, so the commission stays on your side of the ledger.
-
Care & upkeep £100/mo, all in
One flat £100 a month, for as long as we host the site — and it covers everything: hosting, seasonal refreshes, rate and copy changes, new photography, and same-week fixes. No per-change fees, no surprise invoices; a standing watch, not a handover and a goodbye.
A studio of one, on your deck.
You work with the person who designs it, builds it, and answers the phone — no account managers, no handoffs, no ticket queue.
- Direct line
One conversation, start to finish. Email or WhatsApp, replies the same day, decisions in minutes rather than meetings.
- Quick passage
Weeks, not quarters. A one-person studio has no queue. Most front-end builds launch within a month of the first call.
- Standing watch
Maintained after launch. Rates change, seasons turn, photos age. The care plan keeps the site as sharp as opening day.
An honest bracket, before we even speak.
Choose the scope and the manifest totals a realistic range. The exact figure is fixed on the intro call — and once fixed, it doesn't move.
+ care plan £100/mo, all in
Every figure covers design, build and launch — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
