About

I'm Jake. I build the site myself.

FORGE is one person, not an agency. You get me from the first message to the finished site, and every change after it.

Jake Anthony, founder of FORGE

Why I started FORGE.

I am Jake Anthony. I run FORGE on my own, out of Liverpool, and I build websites for trades and local businesses across the United Kingdom.

Most websites sold to small businesses are a poor deal. They are slow, built from a template, priced like a favour, and then you are left to it. I wanted to do the opposite: build the site properly, show it to you finished, and stick around to look after it.

So that is what FORGE is. I build fast, static sites because that is what ranks and what gets the phone to ring. You own what I build, and you are never locked in.

How I work

Three things I do not budge on.

I build it on spec

I make the site first and send it to you finished. You only pay once you can see it works. If it is not right, you have not lost anything.

I build it fast and static

No WordPress, no plugins, no bloat. The pages load instantly, which is what Google rewards and what turns a visitor into a phone call.

You deal with me

One person, start to finish. You message me and I make the change. No account managers, no ticket queue, no waiting a week for a price.
