who's behind it

The person who will actually build your site.

"I qualified in Systems Development through CTU Training Solutions and started out getting local companies online as a side hustle. The results, bookings coming in, calls from people who found them on Google, became CodeSketch.

Most sites today come from templates and drag-and-drop builders. A template is the same site a thousand other businesses already have, with your logo swapped in. Builders pack every page with generic code your visitors never use, which is why those sites load slowly, and a slow site loses people before they've seen a word.

I build by hand instead. Line by line, for your business only. Slower for me, faster for your customers. That's the right way around."

Lance Hancock · CodeSketch, East London, South Africa

A few things the quote leaves out: I work on a handful of builds at a time, so every project gets real attention. My longest-standing client has been with me for nearly three years, and their site still gets updated when they need it. And every site I hand over lives in accounts under the client's own name, so nobody is ever locked out of their own business.

South African studio, hand-coded quality, quoted in Rand or your currency, remote-ready for clients anywhere.
