Bristol · 2026
I find estates, gardens and independent places whose websites don't do them justice, then build what they could be instead. None of the six below asked me to.
The work, six of themWhat this is
Six websites: five country estates and gardens and one Michelin starred restaurant. Every word, price and photograph on each one belongs to the place it is about. Where I have used stock film for atmosphere it says so, on the page.
Ten acres, twenty garden styles and the only Elizabethan cloister garden in the country, with sixteen hundred Google reviews and a website that keeps its bloom calendar a page down a menu.
The gardens, the bloom calendar, the tearooms, weddings, the cottages and membership, each its own page. Their words, their prices and their own photographs.
An Elizabethan house with nearly two thousand Google reviews and a website from 2017, given a front door that opens through the leaves.
The Hall, the gardens, the diary, family fun, the Carriage House, celebrations and the visit, each its own page. Their words, prices, photographs and films.
A Robert Mylne house with nine things to book and one email address to book them through, given a catalogue that holds all nine.
Shooting, simulated game, weddings, the Coach House, tours and corporate, each its own page. Their prices, their photographs.
A late Georgian house at the head of a wooded valley, where five worlds each needed their own architecture rather than one template five times.
The house as a room by room walk, the wedding day as a timeline, the garden as a mosaic of its six corners.
A cider farm with eight revenue lines running on a website that cut its own announcements off mid-word on a phone.
Orchards, the restaurant, the cheesemonger, the farm shop, weddings, tours and the museum, in one system.
One Michelin star in a market town, set as a hand pressed letterpress sheet using their own walking fish mark.
Every photograph on it is theirs, at full resolution. The copper forme world is drawn, not stock.
The studio
Signal Studio is one person in Bristol. I do the research, the writing, the design, the build and the deploy, which is why there are six of these and not fifty.
Every build is judged before it ships: one pass for honesty, one for craft, one for how it holds up when the motion is switched off, the connection is slow or the screen is a phone. A build that fails does not go out.
If your website is the part of your business nobody is looking after, write to me.
Lately
One person reads this, and it is me.
