Design, made for your business
You see real screens, not wireframes. We iterate on the layout and the words together until it reflects how you actually work.
- Custom design, no themes
- Written for your customers
- Reviewed on real devices
Website development
Websites built from scratch, not from a template.
Most small business websites are a theme somebody bought and filled in. They load slowly, they are hard to change, and they look like a hundred other sites. We build yours properly — designed for your business, written for your customers, and quoted at a fixed price before we start.
- Two to four weeks
- Fixed-price quotes
- Free mockup first
What's included
Everything, in the one fixed price.
No line items appearing later, and no essentials sold back to you as extras.
Built to load fast
Hand-written code with no page builder underneath. Fast sites rank better and convert better, and there's no honest shortcut to it.
- Core Web Vitals from the outset
- Optimised images and fonts
- Static where it can be
Found on Google
Search setup is part of the build, not an upsell afterwards. Clean markup, correct metadata, and a sitemap Google can actually read.
- Technical SEO built in
- Structured data
- Search Console and analytics
Yours to keep
You own the domain, the code and the accounts. If you ever leave us, everything comes with you — that's how it should work.
- Hosting and DNS handled
- Full handover and walkthrough
- Ongoing support if you want it
How pricing works
Every project is quoted on its own and fixed before any work starts. You approve a number, and that number is what you pay — no hourly meter, and no variation invoice at the end.
What moves the number
- How many pages, and how much of the writing you need from us
- Whether it needs booking, payments or integrations
- Whether the brand exists already or we build it
- Ongoing support afterwards is separate, and optional
Start with a free mockup
Before you commit to anything, we design a real homepage for your business — your name, your services, your words. Not a template with your logo dropped into it.
- A designed page, not a wireframe
- Built from your business, not a sample one
- If it works, we quote the build
- If it doesn't, there's no obligation and no follow-up
Process
Four stages. No surprises.
You will always know which stage the project is at, what happens next, and what it costs. This is how every engagement runs.
- 01Week 1
Discovery
An initial consultation, followed by a written scope. We establish what will genuinely move the business forward, and agree what we're deliberately leaving out.
- 02Week 1–2
Design
You review real screens rather than wireframes. We refine the design and the copy together until the result reflects your business rather than a template.
- 03Week 2–3
Build
Hand-written code, with a live staging link from the first day. You follow progress and give feedback throughout, rather than only at handover.
- 04Week 4
Launch
We handle DNS, hosting, analytics and search configuration. You receive a full walkthrough, complete ownership of the work, and a direct line for support.
Before you ask
The three things people say first.
“I already have a website.”
Then the free mockup is worth taking. We'll show you what yours could look like rebuilt, and if the honest answer is that yours is fine, we'll tell you that instead.
“I don't know what I want yet.”
That's normal, and it's our job rather than yours. We work it out on the first call and write it down as a scope before anyone commits to anything.
“I've been burned by an agency before.”
Fixed price agreed up front, a live link from the first week, and the three of us doing the work. There's no account manager between you and the build.
FAQ
The questions we're asked first.
The practical ones, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we'll give you the same straight answer.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
Small adjustments within the agreed scope are part of the build and cost nothing extra. If something genuinely new comes up, we price it separately and you approve it before we begin. Nothing is added to the final invoice without you having seen it first.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a support period after launch covering anything that isn't working as agreed. After that you can take a monthly retainer for changes and monitoring, or simply contact us as needed — there's no requirement to commit to either.
What happens if the timeline slips?
We tell you as soon as we know, with a revised date and the reason. Delays are most often caused by content or feedback arriving later than planned, so we agree those dates at the start. The fixed price doesn't change because the work took us longer than expected.
Can you work with an existing brand or design system?
Yes, and we'd prefer it. If you have brand guidelines, a component library or an established design system, we build to it. If you have a logo and little else, we can extend that into something more complete as part of the project.
