Aftermath Web design
Aftermath is what you do after

We fix websites that are already a problem.

Broken, slow, or impossible to update. The developer vanished, it takes nine seconds on a phone, or nobody can edit it. Often all three.

A real performance report in about twenty seconds. No signup, no email required.

Or see what that looks like afterwards

A survey drawing of a web page under measurement: the page outline with dimension rules across its width and down its side labelled 1280 max and 12 columns, leader lines marking the header and the primary action, and rules along the bottom marking the 140 pixel rail and the 66 character measure.
01 / What is actually wrong

The situation

Your developer is gone.

Nobody has the login, and the hosting bill still arrives every month.

Your site takes nine seconds on a phone.

Most people leave before anything appears on the screen.

You cannot change your own homepage.

Updating a phone number turns into a support ticket and a three day wait.

02 / What we do

Services

Six services, and most jobs start the same way.

Nearly every one begins with a site that already exists and is already costing you something. What the work gets called depends on which part hurts.

  • 01

    Website redesign

    Rebuild an existing site that is losing visitors or is hard to manage.

    What that involves

  • 02

    Website design

    A new site, built so you can edit it yourself.

    What that involves

  • 03

    Ecommerce

    An online store that stays fast as the catalogue grows.

    What that involves

  • 04

    Search

    Get found for the work you actually do, without monthly report fees.

    What that involves

  • 05

    Maintenance

    Someone who answers when the site breaks, before customers notice.

    What that involves

  • 06

    Hosting migration

    Move the site and domain into accounts you control.

    What that involves

03 / Measured, not claimed

Proof

Every number below was measured, not estimated.

Three jobs that arrived broken, and what changed.

  • 01 / Dental practice, two locations

    Before The agency that built it closed, and the new patient form had quietly stopped sending.

    After Nine seconds down to one on a phone. Two months of unsent enquiries turned up during the move.

  • 02 / HVAC contractor

    Before Three different phone numbers across the site, and a fourth on the Google listing.

    After One number everywhere, calls landing where somebody answers, and 5.4 seconds down to 1.4.

  • 03 / Home goods store, several hundred products

    Before A shop that ran fine at forty products and fell over at four hundred.

    After Eleven seconds down to 1.6, and checkout cut from fourteen fields to eight.

All eight, with the full numbers

04 / How the work goes

Process

Four steps, in this order, every time.

  1. 01

    Find the real problem

    Not just the one you described. Measuring the site usually turns up something different, and that difference is where the money is going.

  2. 02

    Fix what the site is for

    What each page has to do, and what order a stranger meets them in. Looks come after that, not before.

  3. 03

    Build it clean

    Built by hand so it loads fast and stays easy to change, with nothing bolted on that can break later.

  4. 04

    Hand it over

    Hosting and domain in your name, every old link still working, forms tested against a real inbox, and a short document in plain language.

05 / How it works day to day

Working

Remote, and better for it.

The work happens over email and a shared screen, so you do not lose a morning to a meeting and nothing waits on somebody driving across town. Replies come within one business day, from the person who will do the work and who has already looked at your site.

06 / Start here

Next

Tell us what is wrong with it.

The quote form takes about three minutes and starts with the site rather than with you. If you would rather just write a sentence, the email works too.
