About Surge Designs

I’m Clive — designer, developer, and the human behind Surge Designs. I build websites for small businesses who want something that looks sharp, loads fast, and actually earns its keep.

You’ll work directly with me — no middlemen, no tech jargon, no “we’ll get back to you next week.” Just clean builds, quick turnarounds, and honest advice on what’s worth doing (and what isn’t).

What that means for you:

  • Mobile-first sites that impress Google and your customers
  • Content and layout tuned to get people clicking, calling, and buying
  • Optional care plan so your site keeps up as your business grows
Developer workspace
// routes/web.php
Route::get('/', HomeController::class);
Route::post('/estimate', [QuoteController::class, 'store']);

// Tailwind utility
.btn { @apply inline-flex items-center gap-2 px-4 py-2 rounded-xl bg-emerald-600 text-white hover:bg-emerald-500 transition; }

// Vue-ish pseudo
export default {
  mounted(){ console.log('Surge: shipped clean ✨') }
}

          

What I deliver

Website builds

Modern, mobile-friendly sites that look great and load fast — built to help people find you and get in touch easily.

Content & layout help

Not sure what to say or how to show it? I help plan the words and layout so visitors instantly understand what you offer.

Ongoing Support

Need small changes later, new pages, or help staying visible on Google? I can keep things running smoothly after launch.
