Selected work
Sites we have designed, coded and shipped.
Shopify Hydrogen · headless commerce
rewnd
A headless storefront built on Shopify Hydrogen. The shop logic stays in Shopify; the front end is hand-coded for speed, so pages render instantly and the brand feels nothing like a theme.
FlagshipLocal SEO rebuild · Glasgow
Beautano
A Glasgow sunbed and beauty salon stuck on a slow Wix site. Rebuilt bespoke on Astro: sub-second loads, a proper local-SEO structure, and a sign-up system that feeds their booking software.
Verification platform
PeptideVerify
A custom-built verification platform in a trust-sensitive market: digitally-signed test certificates, Stripe billing, and pages structured to be cited by AI search, not just ranked by Google.

- SupplementVerify
- Supervitality
- Second Chance Wear
Why we are different
Built by someone who runs the businesses too.
Most agencies have never had to make a website actually sell. We have. TS Webdesign is run by Chris Bray, and rewnd and PeptideVerify are his own brands: designed, built and run in-house. So when we build for you, we think about the whole picture: the build, the search, the conversion, and what happens after the sale. Not just how it looks.
We have also worked with AI search since ChatGPT first launched, not since it became a buzzword. That is why every site we build is structured to be found and quoted by it.

The difference
Most of our work starts as a rescue.
A template site that looks fine but loads slowly, buries the content search engines need, and cannot be changed without paying someone. Here is what changes when it gets rebuilt properly.
- 4.8s to load on mobile
- 52 PageSpeed score
- Content locked inside a builder
- Generic markup, weak for SEO
- Monthly fee just to stay online
- 0.7s to load on mobile
- 100 PageSpeed score
- Clean HTML, structured for search
- Schema and content built to rank
- You own it. Host it anywhere.
What we do
