built with care.

Custom WordPress theme, hand-written PHP and vanilla JavaScript. No page builders, no Elementor, no Divi. The whole thing is around 100KB of CSS and JS — about a tenth of what a typical agency site weighs. Every animation runs on the compositor; nothing is layout-thrashing.

Bilingual EN/CY support is server-rendered from a cookie so language preference survives between pages. Dark mode is the same — no FOUC. The view transitions between pages use the native browser API; no React, no Next.js, no SPA router.

Built to be fast on a phone in a coffee shop in Bangor as much as on a 4K screen in London.

Mona Digital is led by founder Dafydd Weightman. Welsh first language, Anglesey raised, Bangor University Computer Science graduate. 5+ years on broadcast crew at Chwarel TV and Cwmni Da — editor, camera, sound and drone roles on Gogglebocs Cymru, The Great House Giveaway, Tŷ Am Ddim, BBC The One Show and others. Full-time on Mona since 2024.

When the site says "we", it’s mostly Dafydd plus the occasional collaborator — second camera op, a sound recordist for bigger jobs, a colourist on long-form pieces. The brief, the shoot, the edit, the delivery: same person.
