Website design and build
A website designed for your business and built by hand
Custom websites from £1,500. No templates and no page builders: every site is designed around how your customers find you and choose you, coded to load fast, and looked after by the people who built it.
You get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What we build
From a five-page business website to an online shop with live pricing. One senior team designs it, builds it and keeps it running.
Business website
from £1,500
A website that looks like your business and brings in enquiries.
- Designed for your business, not picked from a template
- Coded by hand as its own WordPress theme, so it loads fast
- Built for phones first
- Enquiry forms that reach your inbox, tested before launch
- The groundwork for Google built in: page titles, structure, speed and tracking
- Your existing content moved across, with old addresses redirected
- A login so you can change text and photos yourself
The price depends on the number of pages and what the site has to do. You get it as a fixed quote.

How it works
-
A call and a fixed quote
We talk through your business, your customers and what the site has to do. You get a fixed price and a timeline in writing.
-
Design first
We design your homepage and show it to you on a phone and a desktop. Nothing else is built until you are happy with it.
-
Build and content
We build every page on a private test address you can watch, move your content across, and check each form and button.
-
Launch and care
We put it live on your web address, redirect the old pages, and stay on hand. Most clients keep it with us on hosting and care.
What every build includes
Designed for you
Your colours, your photos, your way of talking to customers. Not a theme that a thousand other businesses also bought.
Fast, because it is hand-coded
No page builder and no pile of plugins. Less code means quicker pages, and fewer things that break when WordPress updates.
Phones first
Most of your visitors are on a phone. Every page is designed for the small screen first, with your number one tap away.
Ready for Google
Clean structure, proper page titles, fast loading, and Search Console and analytics set up from day one.
Yours to edit
Change text, photos, products and prices yourself, or send changes to us and they are done.
One team, start to finish
The senior developer who designs and builds your site also hosts it and looks after it. No hand-offs and no call centre. See hosting and care.

How much does a website cost?
A custom business website starts at £1,500. The price depends on the number of pages and what the site has to do, and you get it as a fixed quote before any work starts. Online shops and web applications are quoted the same way. If you run a trade business and want something simpler, a trades website is £995 fixed or £99 a month.
How long does it take?
Most business websites take four to six weeks from the first call to going live. A shop or a web application takes longer, and the quote gives you the timeline along with the price.
Do you use templates or page builders?
No. Every site is designed for the business and coded by hand as its own WordPress theme. That is why our sites load quickly, and why they do not break when a plugin updates.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. You get a login and can change text, photos, products and prices yourself. Or send changes to us: on a care plan, small changes are part of the service.
Who owns the site?
You do. Your web address is registered in your name, and the site is yours once it is paid for. If you ever leave, we hand over the files, the database and the logins.
What happens after it goes live?
Most clients keep the site with us on hosting and care at £39 a month, so it stays updated, backed up and secure. You can also host it anywhere you like.
Can you rebuild my existing site?
Yes, and it is most of what we do. We move your content across, keep the pages that already rank on Google at the same addresses, and redirect anything that changes so you do not lose traffic.
Tell us what you need
A new website, a rebuild, a shop or something more unusual: tell us about your business and what you want the site to do. We reply within one working day with questions or a fixed quote.
