Our Story

Building websites
since 1997.

It all started with a book — HTML for Dummies. I built my first website in 1997. Back then there was no WordPress, no Google ranking algorithm to chase, and most businesses didn't even have an email address — let alone a website. I learned to code by trial and error, late nights, and a lot of broken HTML tables.

Since then, the tools have changed completely — but the job hasn't. A website still needs to do one thing: turn visitors into customers. That's the lens everything gets built through, whether it's a five-page brochure site or a full eCommerce store.

Vannquish Creative was formally set up in March 2014 with a simple principle: give West Midlands businesses an honest, affordable route to a serious online presence — without the agency mark-up, account managers, or offshore developers you never get to speak to.

When you work with Vannquish, you work with me, directly. I take the brief, design the site, write the code, and I'm the one who picks up the phone if something needs fixing six months after launch. That's not a sales pitch — it's just how I've always worked, and it's why so many clients are still with me years later.

How I Work

No agency layers.
Just straight talk & results.

These aren't marketing buzzwords — they're the ground rules every Vannquish project is built on.

📞

Direct line to Lee

No account managers, no ticket queues. Every call, email and project update comes from — and goes to — Lee personally.

🚫

Zero outsourcing

Every line of code, every design decision and every fix is done in-house. Nothing is ever passed off to a third party or offshore team.

💷

Honest, fixed pricing

You'll get a clear quote before any work begins, and that's what you'll pay. No hidden extras, no surprise invoices halfway through.

🛠️

Built to last

No templates, no page builders, no shortcuts. Every site is hand-coded — which means it's faster, more secure, and easier to maintain.

📍

Local & accountable

Based in West Bromwich and proud of it. If you ever want to meet face-to-face, that's always on the table — try getting that from a national agency.

🤝

Long-term relationships

Most clients stay for years, not just for the build. From hosting to ongoing tweaks, I'm still here long after your site goes live.

The Journey

From dial-up to 2026

A quick look at how Vannquish Creative got to where it is today.

1997

Where it started

I built my first website — hand-coded HTML, dial-up internet, and a lot of trial and error.

2006

Going professional

I joined a web agency in Wolverhampton — my first step into professional web development and working with real clients.

2014

Vannquish Creative Ltd founded

I formally set up the business in March 2014 — giving clients a proper company to work with and a long-term commitment to the region.

2015

Joomla out, WordPress in

I switched from Joomla to WordPress for all client sites — faster to build, easier for clients to manage, and far more flexible.

2020

100th website

I delivered my 100th website project — every single one built personally, with zero outsourcing along the way.

2026

AI joins the toolkit

I now have AI embedded in my workflow — helping me deliver smarter, faster results for clients without losing the personal touch.
