Description
Most web designers on Bark build on WordPress. I don't, and this week showed why.
In October 2026 a critical flaw in PHP, the software every WordPress site runs on, had councils and government sites offline while they patched. My clients didn't need to do a thing. Their sites don't run PHP: no plugins, no admin login for attackers to aim at, nothing to keep patching.
Redman Studio is an independent web design and engineering studio in Watford, Hertfordshire. Design, engineering and search for practices and ambitious small businesses across Herts, London and the UK.
I'm Paul Redman. 25 years as a software engineer for BBC, Sky, LEGO, Argos, Barclays, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, with agency years at AKQA and Wunderman Thompson. One senior designer-engineer does the whole job: no account manager, no handoffs, no junior doing the actual build.
What I do:
Websites. Custom Next.js sites, designed and built for your business, not a theme. Booking, payments, portals or a shop built in where you need them. Fast, secure, accessible, and set up so you can edit your own content without calling me. A straightforward site goes from brief to live in days, not months.
Search. SEO, AEO and GEO: Google, the map pack and the AI assistants. Sites are built so Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini read the same clean page people see, which is what gets you quoted as well as ranked. A one-week visibility audit, or a 90 day programme on the site you already have.
Brand and identity. A palette, type and usage rules applied across your site, Google profile and socials, or the full identity with logo, style guide and stationery. Design is part of every build, not an upsell.
AI engineering. Agents and automation that take admin off your desk: enquiry follow up, booking handling, document processing, reporting. Human approval on anything customer facing.
Care plans. Hosting, security, backups and monthly changes. Nothing compulsory, no lock-in.
How I work: every project is a fixed price, quoted after a short call and agreed in writing before anything starts. I'll often build you a free homepage concept first, so you can see it before you commit. You own everything at the end: the code, the domain and the content.
Recent work: a new site for Flectus Three, an independent finance and operations transformation consultancy, written for CFOs and private equity owners; a new site for a family-run Turkish restaurant in Watford with menu, gallery, virtual tour and table booking; an editorial site for a self-leadership coach in Guildford; a membership community with its own booking path; and a 53-page rebuild for a private dental practice with every ranking carried across.
Based in Watford, working across Hertfordshire, London and remotely. Already on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace? I migrate sites off them with your content carried across and your Google rankings kept. Send me your address and I'll tell you straight where you stand.
