For UK flight schools

A website that gets more students in the air.

Most flight-school websites are years out of date - and it shows most on mobile, where students size you up. I rebuild yours as one fixed job, and you see the finished site before you pay a penny.

Measured, not promised

Seven seconds is a long time

The typical flight-school homepage takes 7½ seconds to appear on a phone. Half of your visitors are gone by three. Those are enquiries you never see, or that go to a competitor instead. Google also ranks slow sites lower.

The route

How a rebuild works

All by email, start to finish. Everything in writing, at your pace.

  1. Day 0

    You email me

    Tell me the school and where the current site lives.

  2. Days 1–7

    I build the whole site

    About six pages (trial flights and vouchers, courses, fleet, pricing, your history) on a private link for your eyes only, and it costs you nothing to see. I do the building myself; you deal with me and nobody else.

  3. At your pace

    You look it over

    Two rounds of adjustments included: copy, photos, colours, ordering. Nothing is owed while you decide, and if you walk away before approving, you pay nothing and I take it down.

  4. On approval

    You approve it, then you pay

    Payment received, the site goes live on your own domain. The files, the design, the content: yours outright, with nothing that ties you to me. Before go-live I check your domain’s setup, so nothing about your email changes or breaks.

After take-off

Looked after, not just launched

  • Hosting included

    Fast UK hosting, SSL certificate and security patches, set up and renewed as part of the plan.

  • Backed up every night

    Every page, price and photo, restorable in minutes. The site is never more than a day away from perfect.

  • Watched around the clock

    Automatic uptime monitoring, day and night. If the site ever goes down, I usually know before you do.

  • Updates done for you

    New instructor? Fuel surcharge? Small changes like these are usually live within a working day of your email. No portal, no tickets - and anything bigger is quoted in writing before I touch it, so there’s never a surprise bill.

  • No lock-in, ever

    The site is yours. Leave whenever you like and take a full working copy with you. Schools stay because it’s easy, not because they’re stuck.

Who you’d be dealing with

One person, start to finish

I’m Max Palmer, a professional software developer based in Harrogate. I’ve spent over ten years building software, and I design and build every site myself, by hand: clean, bespoke code built to last: no page builders, no fragile add-ons, no middlemen. That’s why the sites are this fast, and why a rebuild takes a week, not a quarter.

What you see on the private link is exactly what goes live, and you deal with one person from first email to handover.

Tell me a bit about your school and I’ll take it from there. The name and where the current site lives is plenty.
