96 Hour Sites
Hi, I'm
Richard.
I started 96 Hour Sites because small businesses deserve websites that are actually designed, built with intent, built to load fast, and built to generate leads. Not something indistinguishable from every competitor's.
// The Story
Why I built this.
// How it started
I spent years training as an architect, learning how proportion, layout, and detail make something feel right. When I started building websites, I couldn't unsee how bad most of them were. Not just visually, but structurally. Slow to load. Invisible on Google. Designed to look good in a screenshot rather than actually convert a visitor.
Alongside web design, I run web directory and lead generation businesses. So I know what it costs when a website doesn't work, not in theory, but in missed calls and empty pipelines. 96 Hour Sites grew out of that.
“I couldn't unsee how bad most of them were.”
// Who I built it for
Small businesses are the backbone of most communities, and most of them have websites that actively let them down. Good agencies charge $5,000–$10,000 upfront. Generic DIY tools make every site look identical. There's a gap, and I built 96 Hour Sites to fill it.
Every client deals directly with me on every project. No account managers, no handoffs, no miscommunication. If something isn't right, you tell me and I fix it. That's not a policy, it's just how I work.
“That's not a policy, it's just how I work.”
// How I Work
Three things I don't compromise on.
Design with intent
Architecture trained me to think about hierarchy, proportion, and how a layout guides the eye. Every decision on every site has a reason behind it, nothing is there just to fill space.
Founder-direct, always
You deal with me, Richard, on every project. Not an account manager or a subcontracted team. That keeps things fast, honest, and accountable.
Built to generate leads
I run lead gen businesses, so I understand what a website actually needs to do. Looking good is necessary. Converting visitors into enquiries is the point.

I offer a free design mockup tailored to your business, so you can see exactly what I'd build before committing to anything.
No hard sell. Just a conversation and a design you can say yes or no to.
