For nearly twenty years I’ve worked with independent owners and agencies to make their digital presence feel more tactile and grounded in what makes them distinctive.

Spacedust Web grew out of a simple frustration: seeing considered work flattened by a conventional website it ended up in.

An Instagram Reel creates desire in seconds. If the next tap lands on a standard booking template, that momentum disappears just as quickly.

Rather than starting with a rigid layout, I build the site to carry that feeling forward through sharp copy, photography, film, aerials, ambient loops and subtle movement.

One vision, built into an atmospheric, fast and lightweight site that makes the move from interest to direct booking feel natural.

Before deciding what a website should look like, I want to understand the place.

That starts in the Sound Room.

Built so search engines and AI can clearly understand the business, the place and the content.

Designed properly for mobile rather than treating the phone as a reduced version of the desktop site.

Fast-loading, lightweight and secure by design, with fewer moving parts than a traditional WordPress build.

Secure managed hosting, backups and monitoring are looked after too, with direct support if something goes wrong.

I’m an independent designer and developer based in Newcastle.

For nearly twenty years I’ve worked with architecture, photography, film, light and movement. My architectural photography has been selected for the RIBA Collections.

Spacedust Web grew partly out of frustration. I would spend days carefully composing films and photographs, then see them dropped into websites that gave little thought to how the material was actually experienced.

I wanted to control the whole thing.

Now I can carry the same thinking through the photography, typography, movement and code, from the first idea to the finished website.

If there is somewhere worth looking at, staying in, visiting or talking about, that is usually where I want to start.
