Sleight of Dev

Websites and web apps that work like magic.

Before you say yes, you’ll know what is being built, what it costs, when it will be ready, and what happens after launch. Sleight of Dev handles both design and development from the first message to launch. No account manager. No handoff.


Work you can visit

Two client sites and one Sleight of Dev product. All three are live. Open them and see what they do.

  • BTN Crew

    btncrew.com

    Brighton site and stage crew. Recent work from The Great Escape, On The Beach and Hampton Court Palace Festival comes straight from Instagram, so the site stays current without anyone updating it twice.

  • Marcus Garvey

    marcusgarvey.actor

    British actor, with credits including Fool Me Once, Disclaimer and Hijack. Sixteen years of work on a timeline you can scrub through, plus a showreel, stills and both his agents in one place.

  • Framework Prompting — a Sleight of Dev product

    frameworkprompting.com

    A free browser tool that turns a vague task into a structured, reusable prompt. It is open source, needs no sign-up, and nothing leaves your browser.


What you get

  • No handoff

    Sleight of Dev handles both design and development, from the first message to launch. No account manager in between.

  • Domain and hosting sorted

    Sleight of Dev sets up your domain and hosting. You never have to find out what a nameserver is.

  • Words you can change

    Update your prices and dates, or add a new job you have just taken on, without waiting for us.

  • Fast for the people who use it

    The current sites loaded in under two tenths of a second when measured from Spain. The page does not keep your customer waiting.

  • Support after launch

    After launch, Sleight of Dev stays available for fixes and changes.


How it works

There is no price list because there is no standard job. Tell us what you need and your rough budget. We’ll come back with the scope, cost, and timing before you commit. If the budget and the work are too far apart, we’ll say so.

  1. 1

    Tell us what it needs to do

    Who it is for, what it has to do, and when you need it. A few sentences is plenty.

  2. 2

    See the plan

    You get the proposed scope, cost, and timing before you commit to anything.

  3. 3

    See the build

    A live link lets you follow the build as it takes shape. You do not have to wait until the end to see it.

  4. 4

    It goes live

    On your domain, with access handed over and a walkthrough of how it all works.


A good fit

This works best when you want direct answers and no layers between you and the work. You can see the site while it is being built, ask questions as they come up, and know the cost before work starts.


Tell us about your project

Tell us what you need, when you need it, and your rough budget. A few sentences are enough.

Everything below is required unless marked optional.

A date, a season, or a good guess.

A ballpark is enough. If it does not fit the work, we’ll say so straight away.

What it has to do, and who it is for. Plain English is perfect.
