Services / Web Development

Websites that earn their attention

A website has a few seconds to be clear, fast and credible. We build sites that manage all three, designed around your message and engineered so nothing gets in its way.

Scope

What we build

From a single sharp landing page to a multi-language content platform, the approach is the same: understand the audience, structure the message, then build something light enough to load instantly anywhere.

Marketing websites

The site your business is judged by. Clear positioning, considered typography and a structure that guides people to the point of contact.

Content platforms

Blogs, documentation and resource libraries with an editing experience your team will actually use, on a CMS that stays out of the way.

E-commerce storefronts

Headless storefronts where the product pages are fast, the checkout is short and the merchandising is yours to control.

Landing pages & campaigns

Focused pages built to test a message quickly, with the analytics wired in from the start so the result is measurable.

Rebuilds & migrations

Moving off a slow theme or an ageing CMS, with every URL preserved and rankings protected through the transition.

Design systems

A reusable component library so future pages take days rather than weeks, and look like they belong to the same brand.

Our approach

Fast is a feature, not an optimisation

Performance and accessibility aren't a phase at the end of the project. They're constraints we design within from the first day.

Ship the minimum

Static rendering by default, JavaScript only where it earns its place. Most pages of this very site ship a few kilobytes of script.

Design in the browser

Layouts are reviewed as real, responsive pages on real devices, not as static mockups that quietly ignore how text actually wraps.

Content first

We write and structure the content before designing around it, so the design serves the message instead of the other way round.

Measure everything

Core Web Vitals, conversion events and search visibility are tracked from launch, so improvements can be proven rather than assumed.

Cost

Building a website costs less than it used to

We use AI through the whole build, on scaffolding, boilerplate, migrations, test coverage and first drafts of content structure. It has taken real hours out of a typical project, and we quote against the hours the work takes now rather than the hours it used to take. The work got faster, so it got cheaper, and the saving belongs to the person paying for it.

Where it does the work

The repetitive layer: component scaffolding, data plumbing, migrations, test setup, and the long tail of small implementation tasks that used to fill days.

Where it does not

Architecture, interface design, accessibility and anything touching your data. A person makes those decisions and reviews every line before it ships.

What that means for you

A smaller proposal for the same scope, and a shorter timeline. We do not bill for hours the work no longer takes.

What you get

Everything, handed over properly

Start a project
  • Fully responsive, accessible front end (WCAG 2.2 AA baseline)
  • Headless CMS setup with training for your team
  • Search-engine foundations: metadata, structured data, sitemap, redirects
  • Analytics and conversion tracking configured
  • Hosting, DNS, SSL and CI/CD pipeline set up in your accounts
  • Written handover documentation and a walkthrough session

Questions

Things people ask before starting

If your question isn't here, send it over. A straight answer costs nothing.

How long does a website take?

A focused marketing site is usually four to six weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger content platforms and storefronts typically run eight to twelve. We give you a firm timeline in the proposal, before any work starts.

Can I edit the content myself afterwards?

Yes. Every site ships with a headless CMS configured around your actual content structure, plus a short training session. Content changes should never require a developer.

Do you work with our existing brand and designer?

Often. If you have a brand system or an in-house designer, we build to it. If you don't, design is part of what we do.

What happens to our search rankings during a rebuild?

We audit the existing URL structure, map every route to its replacement, and ship redirects with the launch. Rankings are monitored for the first month afterwards.

Who owns the code?

You do, completely. Everything lives in your repository under your account, on infrastructure you control, from the first commit.
