Websites
Websites designed around what your business needs to achieve
A website should do more than look tidy. It should explain what you do, reach the right people and make it easy for them to get in touch or buy. We design and build websites around your goals, then hand them over in a state you can actually manage.
- WordPress and business websites, built to be edited by your team
- Redesigns that keep what works and fix what does not
- Responsive layouts tested on real phones, tablets and desktops
- Search-engine foundations and analytics set up from day one
Built around your goals, not chosen from a template
Most website projects start with a business problem rather than a design problem. Enquiries have dried up, the site is difficult to update, it does not reflect how the business has changed, or it simply loads too slowly on a phone. We start by understanding what the website needs to do, then design the structure and content around that.
Templates have their place, and we are happy to work with one where it makes sense. What we avoid is fitting your business into a layout that was designed for someone else's. The structure, the wording and the calls to action should reflect how your customers actually make decisions.
Every site we build is handed over with a content management system, a short walkthrough and documentation, so routine changes never depend on us being available.
Capabilities
What a website project can include
Projects range from a focused landing page to a full multi-section company website. These are the pieces we most often put together.
Design and build
The website itself, designed and developed from the ground up.
- WordPress websites
- Brochure and company websites
- Website redesigns and rebuilds
- Landing pages for specific campaigns or services
- Content-led websites with structured article sections
- Responsive design across phone, tablet and desktop
Foundations
The technical groundwork that decides how well a site performs.
- Search-engine foundations and page structure
- Page titles, descriptions and heading hierarchy
- Fast loading and optimised images
- Accessibility considerations built in from the start
- Analytics and search console setup
- Sitemaps, redirects and clean URLs
Functionality
The parts that make a website useful rather than decorative.
- Contact and enquiry forms with spam protection
- Booking and appointment enquiry journeys
- Integrations with CRMs, mailing lists and other tools
- Multi-step forms and calculators
- Member or client areas where required
- Multilingual or multi-region structures
Running it afterwards
What happens once the site is live.
- Hosting guidance and setup

- WordPress core, theme and plugin updates
- Backups and monitoring
- Content changes and ongoing updates
- Training so your team can make routine edits
In practice
Situations we are often asked about
The site looks dated and enquiries have slowed
A redesign focused on clearer structure, faster loading and stronger calls to action, keeping the pages that already perform well.
Nobody can update it without a developer
Rebuilding on a content management system with editable sections, so your team can change text, images and pages without touching code.
It works on desktop but not on a phone
A responsive rebuild that treats mobile as the primary experience rather than an afterthought.
We need a page for one specific campaign
A focused landing page with a single clear objective, built to be measured and adjusted.
Process
How a website project runs
A clear sequence, with a review point at each stage so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Discovery
We talk through what the business does, who the website is for, what it needs to achieve and what is not working at the moment.
Structure and content
We agree the pages, how they link together and what each one needs to say. Content is planned before design so the layout fits the message.
Design
We design the key page types, agree the visual direction and refine it with you before any development starts.
Development
We build the site, set up the content management system and make sure every page works properly on a range of devices.
Testing
Cross-browser and cross-device checks, form testing, accessibility checks, performance testing and a full content review.
Launch
Domain and SSL setup, redirects from old URLs, analytics, search console submission, and a final check once the site is live.
Ongoing support
Updates, backups, monitoring and improvements — either as needed or as a regular arrangement.

Questions
Common questions
Do we have to use WordPress?
No. WordPress suits a lot of business websites because it is well supported and straightforward to edit, but it is not the only option. If your requirements point towards a different platform, or towards custom development, we will say so.
Can you work with our existing website?
Often, yes. We can review what is there and improve it, or rebuild selectively rather than starting again. Whether that is sensible depends on how the current site was built, which we can assess before you commit to anything.
Will we be able to update the site ourselves?
Yes. Routine content changes should never require a developer. We set up the content management system, show your team how it works and leave you with documentation.
Do you provide hosting?
We will recommend appropriate hosting and can set it up and manage it for you, or work with a provider you already use. You always retain ownership of your domain and your website.
How long does a website take?
It depends on the number of pages, how much content needs writing and how much functionality is involved. We will give you a realistic timescale once we understand the scope, rather than a standard figure that applies to every project.
