Hi, I'm Donatas (Donny), a web developer in Cambridge

Websites, online shops & booking systems that you actually own.

I build custom websites for UK small businesses that take bookings, sell products and accept card payments online, each with its own admin panel made for the way your business works. No monthly platform fees, no plugins breaking, and you deal directly with the person building it.

What I build

Built around how your business actually works

Every site is made from scratch for your business, not a template with your logo on it.

Online shop

Sell your products online with a basket, secure checkout and order emails.

  • Product categories & search
  • Card & wallet payments
  • Manage stock and orders yourself

Booking system

Let customers pick a date and time and book online, day or night.

  • Availability calendar
  • Deposits or full payment
  • Block off days you're closed

Business website

A fast, professional site that shows what you do and gets people to contact you.

Custom web apps & bigger projects

Why it costs you less

Renting a website platform vs owning your own site

Platforms like Shopify, Wix or online booking apps charge you every month and often take a cut of every sale. With a site I build for you, you pay once to build it and it belongs to you, so these costs simply disappear.

Renting a platform

What you keep paying for, and putting up with:

  • Monthly platform subscription every month
  • Booking or marketplace commission on every sale
  • Paid plugins & template limits add-ons
  • Plugins & page builders slow your pages down slower

Your own custom site

What you get when you own it:

  • No monthly platform fee yours to keep
  • No commission on your sales 0%
  • Built for exactly what you need no add-ons
  • No plugins or extra code, so pages load faster faster

You still pay standard card processing and your hosting, but no platform takes a cut of your bookings or sales.

About me

No agency layers, no jargon, no surprises

One developer, start to finish. The person you talk to is the person writing your website.

Donatas (Donny), the developer behind Icy Code
“I like building things that actually work, not shipping something and disappearing.”
Donatas “Donny”, Icy Code, Cambridge
What I work with every day
  • Card payments (Stripe)
  • Booking calendars
  • Admin panels
  • Secure logins
  • Email notifications
  • Found on Google

You own it

The website and its data are yours. No monthly platform fee to keep it running, and no platform taking a percentage of your sales.

You talk to the person building it

No account managers or waiting weeks for replies. If something's unclear, just ask. If a feature isn't worth the money, I'll tell you honestly.

Easy to run day to day

You get a simple admin panel to manage orders, bookings and prices yourself. No coding needed.

Fast on every phone

No plugins, no page builder, no extra code: only what your site actually needs. Less to load means faster pages, and fewer customers giving up before the page opens.

Secure by default

Protected logins, secure card payments through Stripe, and safeguards against common hacking attempts.

Local to Cambridgeshire

Based in Cambridge and working with businesses across the UK. Happy to chat on the phone or meet if you're nearby.

How it works

From first message to live website

Five clear steps, and you always know what happens next.

  1. Tell me what you need

    Fill in the short quote form. Add screenshots or examples if you have them.

  2. Instant estimate

    You see a price range straight away, no waiting.

  3. Fixed quote

    I review everything and email a confirmed price within 24–48 hours.

  4. Build

    A 10% deposit starts the work. You get regular updates and a private preview link to test it.

  5. Launch & support

    I set up the domain and hosting, launch it, and I'm around afterwards.

Included in every quoteA written list of exactly what you get, mobile-friendly design, two rounds of changes, and a fix for anything I built that doesn't work as agreed.
Paid separatelyHosting, domain and card processing fees go straight to the providers, not to me. New features added after the quote are priced before I start them.
How payment works: a 10% deposit to start, and the rest only when the work is finished. Both are paid securely online by card. You test the live site on a private preview link before paying the final balance.
Will I own the website?

Yes. The website, its content and its data belong to you. It runs on standard web hosting, so it isn't locked into any platform.

Can I update things myself?

Yes. You get a simple admin panel for everyday changes like products, prices, bookings and orders. No coding needed. For bigger changes, just get in touch.

Are there any monthly fees?

There's no monthly fee to me or to a website platform. You'll pay for your own hosting and domain directly to the provider, and standard card processing fees when customers pay online. I'll explain exactly what these are before you commit.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the project. Most sites take somewhere between two and six weeks, and faster turnaround is possible if you need it. Your quote will include a timeline.

What if something breaks after launch?

If something I built isn't working as it should, I'll fix it. Ongoing support for new features or changes can be arranged separately.

I already have a website. Can you improve it?

Yes. I can redesign an existing site, add online booking or payments to it, or rebuild it if it's slow or hard to manage. Choose "Redesign existing site" in the quote form.

Got a project in mind?

Tell me a bit about your business and get an instant price estimate. No obligation, and I'll reply personally within 24–48 hours.
