- Custom layout
- Your brand colours and type
- Mobile-first
Build
Works everywhere, for everyone
Fast, works on every phone, and built to be used by everyone, keyboard and screen reader included. Real code, not a page-builder slowing it down.

Built to be found, built to be fast
Every site ships with schema markup, a sitemap, meta titles written for real searches, and Google Search Console set up on launch day. Not an afterthought, part of the build.

SEO from the first line of code

Process
From first call to launch
-
01
You talk, I listen
A short call about your business: what you do, who you're trying to reach, and what the site needs to achieve.
You get: a fixed quote in writing
-
02
Design
A layout built around your business, not a template. You see it and sign it off before I build a single page.
You get: a design preview to click through
-
03
Build
The site gets built, then tested on real phones and real browsers, not just a preview window.
You get: a test link on your own phone
-
04
Launch and support
Live on your domain, submitted to Google Search Console, with support afterwards if you want it.
You get: your site live, and a launch checklist
Typical turnaround: TODO-OWNER: timescale
Reviews
What owners say once it's live
Bookings are up since the new site went live, and patients keep telling me how easy it is to use. The price I was quoted was the price I paid.
Michael Keet, Grays Foot Clinic graysfootclinic.co.uk
Everything was explained in plain English and the price never moved. The site brings in steady enquiries on a subject people find hard to talk about.
Steve, Futura Planning futuraplanning.co.uk
It finally looks like the service I sell, and enquiries come in every week. The site pays for itself.

About
Who you're dealing with
SharpCube is Armen Ferdzhulyan, a web designer based in Bristol. I've spent years designing sites for local businesses that turn visitors into enquiries, and every site in the portfolio above is mine: designed, built and launched by me.
You deal with me from first call to launch. I design it, I build it, and I answer the phone. No account managers, no juniors, no surprises.
Bristol based. Working across the UK.
Half up front, half when you are happy. Fixed in writing.
Straight answers
Questions worth asking any web designer
01
Money
Fixed in writing before work starts.
What does a site cost?
A site starts from TODO-OWNER: price, and I give you a fixed quote in writing before anything starts. The price you agree is the price you pay.
How does payment work?
Half up front, half when the site is done and you are happy with it. Both amounts are in the written quote, so there is nothing to guess at.
What is included and what is not?
Design, build, mobile, a working contact form and SEO setup are always included; see the packages for the full list. I do not sell the basics back to you as extras.
02
Timelines
Real dates, not roughly.
How long does a site take?
A typical project takes TODO-OWNER: timescale, agreed with you in writing before I start.
How many rounds of changes are included?
TODO-OWNER: number of revision rounds is included in every package, stated plainly in the quote.
03
Ownership
Yours. Properly yours.
Who owns the site, the domain and the code?
You do, fully, once the final invoice is paid. The files, the domain, the hosting and every login are handed over to you.
My last designer disappeared and I cannot even log in to my own site. Would that happen here?
No. Every login is yours from day one, and the site is plain files any developer could pick up and take over if you ever needed them to.
What if I want to move to someone else later?
You take everything and go. There is no site-rental model and no lock-in.
