01 · What we do

Your website should be the best thing about your business. For most businesses it is the worst.

CMX designs and builds websites by hand for businesses whose current site is letting them down.

If you run a restaurant, a holiday business, a trade, a studio or a practice, your website is often the first thing a customer ever sees of you. We make it the most convincing thing they see all day: fast, beautiful, and built to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings.

02 · How we work

Designed from your business. Never from a template.

  1. M.01

    We start with your business, not a theme

    Before anything is designed, we learn how your business actually wins customers: what they ask, what they doubt, what convinces them. The design is drawn from those answers.

  2. M.02

    You choose from three creative directions

    Every project gets three genuinely different designs, written and argued for, before a line of code exists. You pick the one that feels like you. Most agencies show you one and hope.

  3. M.03

    Nothing ships below our quality floor

    Speed, accessibility and conversion standards we publish and hold on every page: your site loads fast on a phone, works for everyone, and never leaves a visitor without an obvious next step.

03 · The proof

Most agencies have a style. We keep ours for ourselves.

Every client gets a site that looks like nothing else, including nothing of ours.

This page is the only place the CMX look exists. No two client sites we have made share a layout system, a type pairing or a palette. Here is the signature of each build, side by side.

  • The Neighbourhood, Penryn light editorial split · serif display + spaced caps · cream, brick red, timber
  • Get Up Fitness dark photographic · condensed caps + clean sans · black + mustard gold
  • McLachlan Wedding romantic editorial · fine serif + script · soft naturals, golden hour

04 · The work

The proof is in what it wins you.

Flagship case · The Neighbourhood, Penryn

A venue that looks as good online as it does at the bar.

A warm, editorial site drawn from the room itself: its timber, its light, its type. Built to send one clear signal to every visitor: book a table. Read how it was designed, and what it does for the business.

06 · The founder

Who builds your site

I started CMX because most small businesses get handed the same template with their logo dropped in. That is not good enough. I build every site by hand, to a standard I would be proud to put my own name on, because I do. Work with CMX and you deal with me directly, from the first call to launch and beyond.
