Web design studio · Padstow, Cornwall
Websites built to be the best thing about your business.
CMX hand-codes premium websites for local businesses, then makes them look like they belong to a brand ten times the size. Every build is bespoke. None start from a template.
Move across the water.Drag a finger across the water.Our cyan is the sea glow that lights Cornish bays on warm summer nights.
Who we build for: Harbour cafés, Builders & trades, Personal trainers, Holiday lets, Makers & workshops, Salons, Surf schools, Estate agents, Restaurants, Accountants.
The belief
Most small businesses get handed a template with their logo dropped in. We think the café on the quay deserves the care of a global product launch. So every CMX site starts on a blank page. It is coded by hand, then tested on the phone in your customer's pocket.

Selected work
Three builds. Three different worlds.
Each site gets its own look and its own point of view. Here is how far apart they can be.

The standard
We are new. The standard is not.
We won't borrow reviews we haven't earned. What we can show you is the bar every build has to clear before it goes live. These are Google's own thresholds for a good experience; we treat them as the floor.

Who you deal with
“Most small businesses get handed the same template with their logo dropped in. I personally build every site, to a standard I put my own name on.”
