Why I do this

I am James. Making websites is my job. I have lived in Bali for part of every year, and small businesses here have fed me, given me a room, driven me and cared for me.

Some of these businesses have no website. Others have one that does not show their work well. When I have time, I make a new one. I want to use some of my work for this island, not only for clients.

I make only a few each year, so I cannot say yes to everybody. I reply to every message.

How it works

  1. 01

    You write to me

    A few sentences is enough. I reply to every message and let you know whether I can help.

  2. 02

    You choose a style

    I send you a few designs and you choose the one you like.

  3. 03

    I make it

    Usually a few weeks, beside my paid work. You read every word before the website is published.

  4. 04

    It goes live

    I put the website online and keep it hosted. There is nothing for you to set up or pay.

Apply, or nominate someone

Send your own business, or another business: a warung where you eat, a driver, a family homestay. Please write in the language that is easiest for you.

Your details stay with me. Nothing about a business is published until the owner agrees.
