Introducing LMJ Web Design
LMJ Web Design is a small studio in Cambridge. We design and build websites for small businesses, clubs and founders, and then we keep running them, for one monthly price and no start-up cost.
Why this model
We have watched too many small businesses pay for a site, get left with it, and quietly let it rot. A website is not a purchase, it is a running service. Pricing it like one puts the incentives where they belong: we only do well if your site keeps working and you keep it.
What we bring
The studio builds and runs its own products, in sport, wellness, publishing and software, so the tools we use on client sites are the ones we depend on ourselves. Design and code are done by the same hands, and the person you talk to at the start is the person who looks after the site later.
What is next
A blog of plain-English notes on running a website, written for owners rather than developers. If you have a question you would like answered here, send it over.

Editing your own website without breaking it
Every site we build comes with a simple editor. Here is what you can safely change yourself, what to leave to us, and a few habits that keep things tidy.
