My story

I'm Will. I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southampton (MEng, 2026), including a 13-month placement at Williams Racing. A big part of my work there was improving workflows: finding the slow, repetitive steps in how things got done and making them quicker and more reliable. It taught me to care about how things work, not just how they look.

I started Umber Motion for busy people who'd rather be doing their job than fiddling with a website, whether you're just starting out or have been going for years: a café, a clinic, a creative studio or a personal portfolio. You shouldn't have to learn a website builder or spend your evenings making edits. Small changes, like a new photo, updated prices or different opening hours, are part of the care plan: just tell me and I'll sort it.

Plenty of good businesses are let down by their websites. They're slow on a phone, look like every other template, are hard to find on Google, or are tied into contracts that cost more than they should. Most of your customers find you on their phone, often in a hurry, so your site needs to load fast, show your best work and make it easy to get in touch.

I work the way I'd want to be treated as a customer: a clear price up front, no long contracts, and you own it all: your domain, bought in your own name, and the code and files I build for you. If you ever want to move on, I hand it all over and your site stays up.
