I'm Sam, and I started Harbour Web Design because I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant startups and small businesses either overpaying for cookie-cutter templates or getting burned by freelancers who overpromise and underdeliver.
Here's how we work: if we can build what you want, we'll build it properly and tell you exactly what it costs upfront. If we can't do it, or if it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that too — honestly, before you spend a penny.
Customer satisfaction isn't a buzzword here — it's the entire business model. We don't move on until you're genuinely happy with what we've built. That's it.
Our promise: Honest quotes, unlimited revisions, and a website you're proud to show people.
Fair question — here's the straight answer.
Wix and Squarespace are fine for a quick placeholder — but if you want something built for your business, not by a drag-and-drop editor:
Get a proper website →From first chat to launch — here's exactly what happens when you work with us.
Tell us what you need. We ask questions to understand your business and goals. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — and maybe point you somewhere better.
Within 24-48 hours, you get a detailed proposal: what we'll build, what it costs (fixed price, not hourly), and how long it'll take. No hidden fees, no surprises.
We build your site and share progress along the way. You review, we adjust — as many times as needed until it's exactly what you want. Unlimited revisions means unlimited revisions.
Your site goes live. We hand over everything: files, passwords, hosting details. You own it outright. Want us to handle hosting and updates? That's what our monthly care plans are for.

Nice one! You discovered the Konami code. Here's a message from Sam:
"If you're the kind of person who tries Konami codes on websites, we're definitely going to get along. Let's build something great together — I promise to hide more easter eggs in your site if you want them. 😄"
