Hi, I'm Eric.
I build PixelBay.
I've been building websites since 1999. Today I run PixelBay, making websites, online shops and business systems for UK firms, plus a handful of free tools anyone can use.
Four brands.
One way of building.
Every one is hand-built in PHP, hosted in the UK and made to the same standard: fast, secure and simple to use.
My web design and development studio. Custom-built websites, online shops and admin systems, with SEO, hosting and aftercare all taken care of.

Building websites
since 1999.
I'm Eric Grant, a web developer based in Yorkshire. I built my first websites in 1999 and I've been building them ever since, from small local firms right up to busy online shops.
Everything now lives under PixelBay. Client websites, PixelShop, PixelCRM, PixelERP and the free tools all share the same code and the same standards, so every build is fast, safe and easy to look after.
- Hand-built, no page builders
- Fast, clean PHP
- Privacy-first by default
- Plain English, no jargon
- Replies by WhatsApp or email
- Aftercare once you're live
Got a project?
Let's talk.
WhatsApp is the quickest way to reach me, or drop me an email. For a new website or shop, PixelBay's quote form gets everything I need in one go.
