Real projects, real numbers — work we can point to:
Whether you need a simple brochure site to establish your online presence or a full custom platform to run your operations, our team builds every site from scratch around your business goals. We do not use bloated page builders or off-the-shelf templates — every website is hand-crafted with clean, semantic code, designed to perform on mobile, and structured to rank in Google from day one.
Every website we build comes with full user research, wireframes, Figma prototypes, and a reusable design system. UX is not a separate phase you pay for later — it is the front half of every project, included at the same fixed price.
A beautiful website that does not convert is a wasted investment. So is a usable website that looks generic and forgettable. Both halves matter, which is why every project we deliver includes the full design phase, not just the build. Before any code is written, we run user research, map the journeys real customers take, sketch low-fidelity wireframes, then design pixel-perfect screens in Figma — including responsive breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop. You see and click through the design before development begins.
We start by understanding your audience, not guessing at it. That means stakeholder workshops, a review of your current analytics and Hotjar data if you have it, competitor benchmarking, and short interviews with two or three of your existing customers where possible. From this we produce evidence-based personas and a journey map that shows exactly how a visitor will move from first click to becoming a lead or paying customer. This stage is what separates websites that convert from websites that just exist.
Before pixels, we get the structure right. Sitemaps, content hierarchy, and low-fidelity wireframes let us pressure-test the logic of every page without the distraction of visual design. This is the cheapest stage to make changes — far cheaper than reworking a finished build — and it is where most expensive mistakes are caught and fixed early.
Once the structure is approved, our designers move into Figma to create the visual interface. Brand-aligned colour systems, typography, components, iconography, and micro-interactions all come together into a clickable prototype that behaves like the live site. You see exactly what you are getting before development begins, and the prototype doubles as the developer handoff spec — every spacing, colour token, and breakpoint is documented.
For larger projects we build a full design system: a component library with tokens for colour, type, spacing, and elevation. This means future pages, campaigns, and product launches stay visually consistent without you having to reinvent the wheel each time. It also speeds up development on every later phase.
Accessibility is built into the design phase, not bolted on afterwards. We design to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard referenced by the Equality Act 2010 — covering contrast ratios, font sizes, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, focus indicators, and descriptive alt text. Accessible design is good for users, good for SEO, and required by law for many businesses.
Every project includes two rounds of design revisions. In practice, because we involve you early through workshops and iterative feedback, most projects finish with revisions to spare. We share progress at every stage so there are no big surprise reveals at the end — just designs you have already shaped and approved.
Your site is built by the team that answers your emails — not handed to a junior or a template factory. Here is what that means in practice.
Every engagement follows the same proven four-stage approach. Predictable, measurable, transparent.
We start with a structured discovery session covering your audience, competitors, conversion goals and technical requirements. You walk away with a clear sitemap, content brief and fixed-price proposal — even if we never work together.
Our designers map user journeys, build wireframes and produce high-fidelity Figma prototypes for every key page. You see and click through the design on desktop, tablet and mobile before a single line of code is written.
We build with clean, semantic, well-documented code on the right stack for your project. Weekly staging-site updates, transparent task tracking, accessibility checks against WCAG 2.1 AA and full cross-device QA before launch.
We handle DNS, SSL, email setup and final go-live checks. The first 12 months of managed hosting, daily backups, security updates and performance monitoring are bundled in — so the team that built your site is the team keeping it online.
We'll review your current website and send a one-page action plan with the three biggest opportunities — within 5 working days. No commitment, no sales call required.

Every website we build comes with managed hosting, free SSL, automated daily backups, security monitoring, and WordPress maintenance for the first 12 months. After that, ongoing managed hosting is offered on a tiered monthly plan based on your traffic and resource needs — no long-term contracts, cancel any time.
A website is not a one-off purchase. It is a working asset that needs uptime, security patches, plugin updates, daily backups, and a real human to call when something goes wrong. Most agencies hand you the keys at launch and disappear, leaving you to figure out hosting, SSL renewal, and WordPress updates on your own. We do the opposite: hosting and ongoing support are bundled into every project for the first year, so you can focus on running your business while we keep your site fast, secure, and online.
Every new website includes enterprise-grade AWS cloud hosting on isolated, auto-scaling infrastructure (no shared servers), a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate that we install and auto-renew, automated daily backups stored in a separate geographic location with 30-day retention, a web application firewall plus Cloudflare DDoS protection, automated malware scanning and brute-force login blocking, WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates tested on staging before going live, and 24/7 uptime monitoring that checks your site every 60 seconds. If anything ever breaks, our team is alerted instantly — usually before you or your customers notice. You also get direct email, phone, or WhatsApp access to the developers who know your codebase, not a ticket queue.
From month 13 onwards, ongoing managed hosting is available on a tiered monthly plan: a small-business tier for low-traffic brochure sites, a most-popular tier with staging environment, twice-daily backups, performance optimisation, monthly analytics and priority support, and a high-traffic mission-critical tier with dedicated resources, Cloudflare CDN, six-hourly backups, advanced security audits and a dedicated account manager. Every plan is month-to-month with no long contracts and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. If you ever want to leave, we hand over a full backup at no charge.
Cheap shared hosting seems tempting until your site goes down during peak trading, gets hacked because a plugin was three updates behind, or slows to a crawl because 400 other sites are sharing the same server. The cost of a single hacked site, lost leads from downtime, or hours wasted on technical fixes far outweighs the difference between shared and managed hosting. By bundling 12 months of managed hosting into every build, you get enterprise-grade reliability from day one without a separate hosting bill in year one — and the team running your hosting is the same team that built the site, so problems are diagnosed and fixed faster.
We have built websites for businesses across a wide range of industries. Every sector has unique requirements, and our experience means we understand the challenges and opportunities specific to your industry.
There are hundreds of website agencies out there. Here is what makes our team different — and why businesses trust us with their most important digital projects.
We work primarily with UK businesses, which means we understand the local market, regulations like GDPR and the Accessibility Regulations, and the nuances of targeting British customers. You will always communicate directly with the team building your website — never an outsourced call centre or first-line script reader.
Design, development, hosting, and support all come from the same team. There is no handoff to an external host, no separate UX agency to coordinate, and no finger-pointing when something needs fixing. The people who designed and built your site are also the people keeping it online.
We are not a one-framework shop. WordPress for content-driven sites, WooCommerce or Shopify for online shops, React with Next.js for high-performance apps, Laravel or Node.js for custom backends, Flutter for companion mobile apps. We choose the stack that fits your project rather than forcing everything into one mould.
We provide detailed, fixed-price quotes before any work begins. You know exactly what you are paying for and when payments are due. If the scope changes during the project, we discuss and agree any adjustments before proceeding. No hourly billing surprises and no scope creep charges.
The first 12 months of managed hosting, SSL, daily backups, security monitoring, and WordPress maintenance are included in every project — no separate hosting bill in year one. Most agencies treat hosting as an upsell. We treat it as part of looking after the site we built.

We have compiled answers to the questions we hear most often from businesses looking to build or redesign a website. If your question is not covered here, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
A simple 5-page website usually takes three to four weeks from kickoff to launch. A mid-range business website with custom design and CMS integration typically takes four to eight weeks. E-commerce websites generally require six to twelve weeks depending on the product catalogue size and integrations involved. Custom websites with bespoke functionality can take twelve to twenty weeks. We provide a detailed timeline in every proposal with weekly milestones, so you always know where your project stands. The biggest factor affecting timeline is typically how quickly content and feedback are provided by the client.
Every website we build includes the full design phase (user research, wireframes, Figma prototypes, two revision rounds), the build phase (custom-coded WordPress or React, mobile-first responsive layouts, technical SEO foundations, accessibility checks against WCAG 2.1 AA), and the launch phase (DNS setup, free SSL certificate, training session, written documentation). It also includes 12 months of managed hosting with daily backups, security monitoring, WordPress and plugin updates, and uptime monitoring. There are no hidden fees, no separate hosting bills for the first year, and no design upcharges later.
Design is included in every website build, not sold as a separate service. The same project covers user research, journey mapping, wireframes, Figma prototypes, and the high-fidelity visual interface. You see exactly what the finished website will look like before any code is written. We also handle the full design system — typography, colour tokens, components, and responsive breakpoints — so your site stays visually consistent on every device. There is no extra fee for the design phase: it is the front half of every project.
Absolutely. Every website we build is mobile-first and fully responsive. We design for mobile screens first, then progressively enhance the experience for tablets, laptops, and desktop monitors. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, and Google using mobile-first indexing to determine search rankings, a responsive design is not optional. We test across real iPhones, Android phones, iPads, and various screen sizes before every launch to ensure your website looks and functions perfectly everywhere.
Yes. We build every website with an easy-to-use content management system that lets you edit text, update images, add new pages, and publish blog posts without any coding knowledge. For WordPress sites, we create a customised admin dashboard tailored to your specific content structure so it feels intuitive, not overwhelming. We also provide a comprehensive training session after launch along with written documentation so your team is confident managing the site independently. And if you ever get stuck or need help with a more complex change, our support team is always available.
Yes. E-commerce is one of our core specialities. We build online shops on WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom platforms depending on your requirements. Every e-commerce build includes product management, secure payment processing via Stripe and PayPal, inventory management, shipping integration with Royal Mail and other carriers, customer accounts, order tracking, and conversion-optimised checkout flows. We also integrate with popular business tools like Mailchimp for email marketing, Xero for accounting, and various CRM platforms. Our focus is always on creating stores that not only look good but actually sell.
Managed hosting is bundled with every new website for the first 12 months at no extra cost. That includes AWS cloud hosting, a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, automated daily backups with 30-day retention, security monitoring, web application firewall, WordPress and plugin updates tested on staging first, and 24/7 uptime monitoring. After the first year, ongoing managed hosting is offered as a tiered monthly plan based on traffic and resource needs — there are no long-term contracts and you can cancel any time with 30 days notice. If you prefer to host elsewhere after the first year, we hand over a full backup at no charge.
Our monitoring systems check your website every 60 seconds from multiple European locations. If downtime is detected, our team is automatically alerted and we begin investigating immediately. Most issues are identified and resolved before you even notice anything is wrong. For critical problems, we aim for resolution within one hour. Hosting includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and we provide transparent uptime reports so you can see your website's performance over time. Daily encrypted backups are stored in a separate geographic location, so even in the worst case your site can be fully restored within hours.
Every website we build includes comprehensive technical SEO foundations as standard. This includes semantic HTML5 markup, optimised meta titles and descriptions, structured data and schema markup, XML sitemaps, clean URL structures, fast page speed, mobile optimisation, image compression with alt tags, and proper heading hierarchy. These foundations give your website the best possible chance of ranking well from the moment it launches. For ongoing SEO services including keyword research, content strategy, link building, local SEO, and monthly performance reporting, we offer dedicated SEO packages that work alongside your website to drive consistent organic traffic growth over time.
Security and GDPR compliance are built into every website we develop. Every site includes HTTPS encryption with SSL certificates, regular security updates, firewall protection, and brute-force login prevention. For GDPR compliance under the Data Protection Act 2018, we implement cookie consent banners, privacy policy pages, data minimisation practices, and secure form handling. If your site collects customer data through forms, accounts, or e-commerce transactions, we ensure all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We also configure proper Content Security Policy headers, prevent cross-site scripting attacks, and set up automated daily backups so your data is never at risk.
Website redesign is one of our most popular services. Many businesses come to us with outdated websites that no longer reflect their brand, perform poorly on mobile, or fail to convert visitors into customers. Our redesign process starts with a UX audit of your current site covering performance, SEO, content, and user experience. We then design a modern, mobile-first website that preserves your existing search rankings through proper URL redirects and SEO migration. We also transfer all your existing content, improve your site speed, and implement proper analytics tracking. The entire process typically takes four to eight weeks, and we ensure zero downtime during the transition.
Absolutely. We work with businesses across the UK and internationally. Our project management process is designed for seamless remote collaboration, with regular video calls, shared project boards in tools like Notion or ClickUp, a dedicated staging site for reviewing progress, and weekly update emails. Whether you are in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, or overseas, we deliver the same quality of work and level of communication for every client. We have delivered successful projects for businesses from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.
