About MetaBundle

A modern studio for businesses that want to move fast

MetaBundle started with a simple frustration: small businesses were being overcharged for slow, cookie-cutter websites — and left in the dark about what they were paying for. I'm Joshua Jager-Hoare, and I do the opposite. Fast, bespoke builds on a modern stack, honest pricing, and a partnership that lasts well beyond launch.

Senior craft, without the agency overhead

You work directly with me, the person building your project — no account managers relaying messages, no juniors learning on your dime. That means faster decisions and code I'm proud to put my name on.

I build on the same modern foundation across everything I do: Next.js, React, and TypeScript, deployed on global edge infrastructure. It's fast, it's typed, and it's yours — no proprietary lock-in.

And because the web doesn't stand still, my care plans keep your site fast, secure, and fresh long after the confetti of launch day settles.

What guides me

Principles I don't compromise on

Speed is non-negotiable

A slow site loses customers before they've read a word. Fast sites rank higher on Google and turn more visitors into enquiries.

Build for the long run

Built properly and documented, so you (or anyone else) can take it over later. You own it, with no lock-in.

Plain-English partnership

No jargon walls or surprise invoices. You always know what I'm doing, why, and what it costs.

Always up to date

I keep up with the latest in AI and the web, so your business doesn't look dated six months after launch.
