Born in Chester. Built for local business.
I'm Nathan — a Chester-based senior software engineer with 8 years' experience building and looking after the kind of software that names you'll know rely on, from the NHS to Sykes Holiday Cottages right here in Chester. Cowins is where I put that same expertise to work for local business owners like you — no call centres, no jargon, just a website that's fast, reliable and actually wins you customers.
Right now it's a genuine one-man show (plus Cassian, my dog and unofficial head of morale) — so when you work with Cowins you get a real person who knows your name, your business and your goals. No account managers, no being passed around, and someone who's just down the road when you need them.

Common questions
The things people ask me most. Can’t see yours? Give me a call on 07503 736003 — no hard sell, I promise.
How much does a website cost in Chester?
It depends on what you need — every business is different, so I always give you a proper price after a quick, no-pressure chat, with no surprises. As a rough guide, a simple static website starts from £39 a month, covering design, build, fast hosting and ongoing edits with nothing to pay upfront. Most projects — anything with more pages, e-commerce or custom features — are more than that, and I will quote you honestly once I understand exactly what you are after.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on the size of the site. A simple static website can be up in just a few days, while most projects take around two to four weeks depending on how many pages you need and how quickly you can get your content and photos to me. I keep you updated at every stage and you deal with me directly, not a queue, so there is never any guessing about where things are up to.
Do you offer SEO to help my business rank on Google?
Yes. Every website I build includes on-page and local SEO setup so you show up when someone in Chester searches for what you do — the right page titles, fast loading, mobile-friendly pages, structured data and a Google-ready setup. Ongoing SEO to climb the rankings further is available too.
Will my website work well on mobile phones?
Absolutely — every site is designed mobile-first, because that is where almost all enquiries now start. Your website will be fast, easy to use and look great on phones, tablets and desktops, and it is tested to score top marks for speed and accessibility on Google.
Do you only work with businesses in Chester?
Chester is home, but I work with businesses right across Cheshire and the surrounding area — Ellesmere Port, Deeside, Wrexham, Neston, Frodsham, Northwich and beyond — as well as remotely with clients anywhere in the UK. Being local means I can meet you in person if you would prefer.
Can you redesign or replace my existing website?
Yes — redesigns are a big part of what I do. If your current site looks dated, is slow, hard to update or built on a platform like Wix, GoDaddy or an old WordPress theme, I can rebuild it into something faster and easier to find, and move everything across for you with no downtime.
