The Work.

Malvern Motor Services is an independent garage in Malvern Link, forty years in the trade, and its website is one page. In 2026 that page was rebuilt from a managed content platform into a hand-built static site that sets no cookies, runs no analytics, loads in under two and a half seconds on a phone, and sends enquiries straight to the garage's inbox without storing them. It was built in a week, signed for and switched over on the same Wednesday, and designed from the start to leave cleanly: thirty days' notice either way, a complete copy of the files, and a licence that outlives the arrangement.

Malvern Hills Veterinary Practice is an independent clinic in Hanley Swan, Worcestershire, and a retained client. In 2026 its website was rebuilt from a managed content platform into a hand-built static site that sets no cookies, costs nothing to host, scores full marks for accessibility on every page, and lives in accounts the practice holds the keys to. The switch itself took minutes on a Saturday afternoon; the weeks before it went on making sure the change could take nothing with it, and the week after found nothing to fix. The old hosting is the last thing to go.

N17 Time answers one question, when Tottenham play next, on a single page in the reader's own time zone, with no cookies, no account and no crests, in a few kilobytes that work with scripting off. It was built and shipped in a day, after a considered plan for it was closed unbuilt in favour of two source files on a free tier. It shows the score while a match is on, a few minutes behind by a margin that was measured before it was accepted; its cup ties and away grounds are kept by hand because the free data does not reach them, and it says so. Its only bill is the domain.

A cron expression is a promise about the future, written in a notation nobody reads fluently. CronCal, the practice's own tool at croncal.dev, turns one into a calendar: four dialects, every time zone, a plain-English reading, a diff between two expressions, and a link that reproduces exactly what you saw. It was built to be right rather than plausible — its parsers are checked against the reference implementations' own test suites, every rule is evaluated in its own zone through the missing hour and the repeated hour, and nothing it claims was signed off until it had been re-run against production. It runs for about ten pounds a year.
