Website design & build
A websitetrue to youthat gets found.
Visual identity, copy, SEO, usability: we shape the site with you, then build it properly. The result loads fast and belongs to you, domain name included.
What we do for your website
All of it or part of it: if you already have brand guidelines or copy, we start from there.
Visual identity & guidelines
Logo, colours, typefaces, tone of voice. A look of your own, recognisable next to competitors who often share the same theme. Positioning itself is part of digital strategy.
UX & UI
We start from what your visitors come looking for: journeys, information hierarchy, buttons that lead somewhere. You sign off the mock-ups before we write a line of code.
Copywriting
Copy written for your customers and readable by search engines. We interview you, we write, you edit. No filler to pad out the word count.
Search engine optimisation
Page structure, markup, speed, structured data, sitemap. Nobody can guarantee you first place on Google. We remove what's keeping you from it.
Redesign
Your site has aged, or runs on a theme nobody updates any more. We keep the content that works, redirect the old addresses to hold on to your rankings, and rebuild on a clean base.

How a website project runs
You sign off every step- Step 1
Scoping
Your business, your customers, your competitors, and what the site has to bring in: calls, quote requests, sign-ups.
- Step 2
Identity & mock-ups
Brand guidelines if you don't have any, then mock-ups of the key pages, on phone and desktop.
- Step 3
Content
We write the copy with you, prepare the images and pick the keywords page by page.
- Step 4
Build
The site is coded, tested with a keyboard and on phones, and measured for speed. You follow progress on a staging address.
- Step 5
Go-live
Domain name, HTTPS, redirects from the old site, submission to Google. After that, maintenance if you want it.
What an engineer changes about your website
A bought theme filled with content looks fine on launch day. The gaps show up a year later.
Performance
Light pages, optimised images, no ten plugins loaded for nothing. The site stays fast on a phone over 4G, and Google takes that into account.
Accessibility
Contrast, keyboard navigation, screen readers: we aim for WCAG level AA and check it before go-live.
Hosting & security
HTTPS, backups, security updates, on your servers or ours. No forgotten plugin leaving the door open to attackers.
Maintenance
Fixes, updates, new pages. The person you deal with knows the code, because they wrote it.
What never changes
You talk to the engineer
The person who builds your website is the one who answers your questions.
The website is yours
Domain name, code, content, access: in your name. If you change provider, you leave with everything.
We know how to say no
If an online site builder covers what you need, we'll tell you.
Going further
Positioning · brand image · community
“Nobody knows us online.”
What gets decided before the website and carries on after it: who you're talking to, what sets you apart, where to keep your community going, and who posts. We can take that on.
Customer area · bookings · internal tool
“The site has to handle our orders too.”
When the website turns into an application: customer accounts, bookings, connections to your business tools.
Let's talk about your website.
