A website that does its job
Your website is often the first thing a customer sees. If it is slow, hard to use on a phone or out of date, people leave and contact someone else. We build sites that load quickly, are easy for Google to understand and are simple for your team to keep up to date.
Not every project needs the same tools. A business site or blog usually suits WordPress, so you can edit pages yourself. A booking tool, customer portal or internal dashboard usually needs a custom web application, built with tools such as TypeScript and React. We recommend what fits your needs and budget, not what is fashionable.
We also take on existing sites and systems. We can redesign or rebuild an old site, speed up a slow WordPress site, or move an older system, such as a Microsoft Access database, to the web so your team can use it from anywhere.

Technologies we use
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- Your current site is slow, dated or hard to use on a phone
- You want to update text and images yourself, without calling a developer
- You need more than pages: bookings, a shop, a portal or an internal tool
- You have an older system, such as an Access database, that you want on the web
Maybe not if
- You only need a single page and are happy using a DIY website builder
- You need the site live in a few days, with no time to agree the pages and content
- Your current site works well and you only need small text changes you can make yourself
Process
How we work
Talk
We listen first. A short call to understand what you need and what success looks like.
Plan
We agree scope, timeline and cost in writing before work starts.
Build
We build in stages and show you progress along the way.
Support
After launch we stay available for fixes, updates and improvements.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. We review what you have, keep what works and rebuild what doesn't.
Will my website show up on Google?
We build in the basics Google recommends, like clean structure, fast pages and proper page titles. No one can guarantee rankings, but a well-built site gives you a solid start.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We can build it on WordPress or set up a simple editor, so you can change text and images without a developer.
Do you work with WordPress?
Yes. We design, build, maintain and optimise WordPress websites, from business sites to online shops.
Can you build an online shop?
Yes. We build online shops that are easy for you to manage, take payments and load quickly on phones.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes. Every site we build works on phones, tablets and computers, and we check it on each before launch.
How long does a website take?
It depends on size and content. We give you a timeline after our first call.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, features such as bookings or payments, and how much content needs writing. We agree the scope and cost in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Can you help with hosting?
Yes. We can host your site for you, or recommend hosting that suits your site, visitor numbers and budget, from simple shared hosting for a small WordPress site to cloud hosting for a web app. Either way, we can set it up, move your site across and look after it.
Do you look after the site after launch?
Yes. We can keep the site and its software up to date, fix issues and make small changes. If you would rather look after it yourself, we show you how.
