View siteWeb Design and Development
Hampton Design · Tampa, Florida
I design and build the whole site, then stay responsible for what it does after launch. The design is not a template with your logo dropped into it, and the code is not a page builder. You get a real site, a repo you own, and analytics that tell you whether it is working.
Most of the sites below replaced something that looked fine and sold nothing.

What you get
- Design, copy direction, build, hosting and analytics, done by the same person.
- Hand written HTML and CSS for marketing sites, Next.js or Astro when a site needs a CMS or a content engine.
- Deployed on Vercel with preview URLs, so you see every change before it goes live.
- Google Analytics 4 wired on day one, with form submits, call taps and email taps as tracked events.
- Schema markup, sitemap, Open Graph images and a working mobile layout as part of the build, not as an upsell.
Who it is for
- Businesses whose site is a brochure and needs to be a salesperson.
- Companies stuck on an unmaintained WordPress or Elementor build nobody will touch.
- Brands launching a product that has to look more expensive than the budget.
- Anyone who has been passed between an account manager, a designer and an offshore dev team.
Work I can point at
Rummer Development

The homepage scrubs a 771 frame video with WebCodecs in an offscreen worker, with a plain video fallback. It also carries a cedar and charcoal siding toggle, a plan index and a Founders Circle interest list. The client's words after launch: everybody has been raving about the website.

01
Audit
I go through your current site, your competitors and your analytics, and tell you what is actually losing you work. You get that read whether or not you hire me.
02
Plan
We agree the page list, the timeline and what each page has to do. No vague proposals.
03
Build
You get a preview URL on day one and watch it fill in. Revisions happen on the preview, not after launch.
04
Launch and measure
DNS cutover, redirects from the old URLs, tracking verified by submitting the form myself. Then I watch the numbers with you.
Questions people ask
What do you build websites with?
Hand written HTML, CSS and JavaScript for marketing sites. Next.js or Astro when the site needs a CMS, a blog or a content engine. Everything runs on Vercel. I skip WordPress themes and page builders, unless a client already lives on WordPress and wants to stay.
How long does a website take?
A focused marketing site is usually two to four weeks from kickoff. A cinematic build with custom motion, like Mayo Cognac or Rummer Development, takes longer because the asset work takes longer.
Do I own the site when it is finished?
Yes. The repository, the domain and the hosting account are in your name. There is no proprietary platform to leave and no licence to keep paying.
Can you work on the site I already have?
Yes. A lot of the work is fixing and converting an existing site rather than replacing it, including WordPress sites.
Where are you based and who will I be talking to?
Tampa, Florida. You talk to Phillip Hampton, who does the design and the code. There is no account manager layer.
What does a website cost?
It depends on the page count and how much custom motion and photography the build needs. Past builds have run from a few hundred dollars for a friend rate one pager up to five figures for a cinematic brand site. Tell me what you need and you get a number, not a range.
