Tempest Media · Est. 1995
One product. One fixed price. Built by someone who has been doing this for thirty years and still cares deeply about getting it right.
The product
Tempest Media makes exactly one product: a premium single-page website. The scope is fixed. The quality is not negotiable. Every delivery includes the following — nothing more, nothing less.

The work
Every site in the Tempest Media ecosystem is hand-coded, performance-first, and built to represent the person behind it with authority.
Flagship personal site for Darren Emery — engineer, builder, and founder. Designed to project technical authority and personal brand at the same time. Clean, fast, and uncompromising in its precision.
A purpose-led campaign site with real emotional weight — designed to communicate meaning instantly, with zero friction.
mentalhealthismentalwealth.comWarm storytelling and food photography for a genuinely original Welsh food concept. Made in Wales. Properly.
thewelshcakewaffle.comThe founder
Not a trend-follower. An engineer.
My name is Darren Emery. I'm a Senior Instrument Engineer and Technical Authority based in Pembrokeshire, Wales — and I've been building websites since 1995. That's not a boast. It's context.
I've watched every wave of web technology come and go. Frameworks, platforms, page builders, CMS systems, AI generators. I've tried most of them. I keep coming back to clean, hand-coded HTML and CSS — because nothing else gives you the same combination of speed, control, and longevity.
Tempest Media exists because I got tired of watching good people pay decent money for websites that were slow, generic, and quietly embarrassing. The fixed-scope model isn't a gimmick — it's what makes it possible to deliver something excellent every single time.
One product. Done properly. That's the whole idea.
"I'm not trying to build you the fanciest website on the internet. I'm trying to build you the best possible version of exactly what you need."— Darren Emery, Founder, Tempest Media
How it works
A clear process with no surprises. You'll always know where we are and what's coming next.
Discovery
A free 30-minute call. We talk about your business, what you need, who you're trying to reach. I ask the questions most developers skip. At the end, we both know whether this is the right fit — no pressure either way.
Craft
Once we're aligned, I write the copy, design the layout, and build the HTML. You review at each stage. Two rounds of revisions are included. The goal is a site you're genuinely proud of — not just "happy enough" with.
Delivery
I handle the final setup and deployment. You get the source files — everything. No lock-in, no dependency on me to make changes. Your site, your asset. Done properly. Always.
Pricing
No hourly rates. No change-request invoices. No "that's extra" conversations. Everything in the agreed scope is covered.
Frequently asked
A well-built single page will outperform a poorly built ten-page site every time. The goal is not more pages — it's the right information, in the right order, presented with clarity and authority. Most small businesses and consultants need exactly that: a focused, compelling presence that tells visitors who you are, what you do, and how to get in touch. One page, done properly, achieves that far better than a sprawling site nobody reads.
The fixed price is possible because the scope is fixed. If you need something more complex — e-commerce, a CMS, a multi-page site — this isn't the right product for you, and I'll tell you that honestly on the fit call. For the clients this is designed for, £2,500 covers everything in the agreed scope, cleanly and completely.
Typically three to four weeks from deposit to delivery, depending on how quickly you're able to review and respond at each stage. The process has three clear phases: brief and copy, design and build, revisions and launch. I'll give you a timeline at the start of the project and I stick to it.
Copy is included — I write it as part of the project, working from a brief we build together on the fit call. Photography is not included; if you have good photos, I'll use them. If you don't, I'll advise you on what would work best and where to source it. Stock photography can work well if chosen carefully.
The site is hand-coded HTML and CSS, so editing it does require some basic technical comfort. If you want to be able to update it yourself without writing any code, this product probably isn't the right fit. That said, most of my clients' sites simply don't need frequent updating — the copy is written to last, not to be changed every month. If you need a content update down the line, you can contact me and we'll agree a fee for the work.
You get the complete HTML file, all CSS, all images and assets — everything needed to host and maintain the site independently. You're not renting a subscription, logging into a platform I control, or dependent on me to keep the lights on. It's your asset. Fully and completely.
I'm based in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The entire project runs remotely — discovery call via video, all feedback via email, files shared digitally. I work with clients anywhere in the UK and, occasionally, further afield if the project is the right fit.
