Web Development
Web development is the build: turning a design into a website that is fast, secure and easy for your team to run. It is the part people only notice when it goes wrong.
Let's chat
WHY DEVELOPMENT /
A slow site loses customers and rankings at the same time. Performance is built in from the first line rather than patched on at the end.
Core Web Vitals in the green
Images and assets optimised
Caching and delivery done properly
If updating the site is painful, nobody updates the site. We build editing experiences your team can handle without calling us every time.
Editable sections, not locked templates
Clear labels and sensible defaults
Training and documentation included
The site you launch is not the site you will have in three years. We build so the next thing can be added rather than bolted on.
Reusable components and templates
Room for new sections and features
Clean code the next developer can read
Security, accessibility and technical SEO are part of the build, not a separate invoice after launch.
Structured data and clean markup
Accessibility standards met
Hardened, hosted and kept patched
Statamic, WordPress, Laravel and headless front ends, chosen for what the project actually needs rather than what we feel like using. We host what we build, so performance and security stay our problem rather than yours.
Every build goes through testing on real devices, a staging site you can review, and a launch plan covering redirects, tracking and the things that quietly break when a site changes.
Our Work
FAQs
Yes, with planning. Most ranking drops after a rebuild come from missed redirects and content that quietly disappeared along the way.
A full URL map and redirect plan before launch
Page titles, headings and content carried across
Tracking and Search Console watched closely after go live
Mostly the things you cannot see. Hosting, image handling, and how much work the browser is asked to do before anything appears on screen.
Server response time and caching
Images sized and compressed properly
Only loading the code a page actually needs
Yes, though plenty of clients come to us with designs already done and we build from those.
Full service: UX, design and build together
Build only: we work from your designers files
Either way, you see it before it goes live
Less than you might think to begin with, though content is usually the thing that holds projects up.
A clear idea of what the site needs to achieve
Access to your current site, domain and analytics
Content and imagery, or our help creating it
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. We work across platforms including Statamic, Contentful, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, and also do fully custom builds when required. We help you choose the platform that best suits your goals, budget and future plans, rather than the one that's easiest for us.
Yes. We build websites that are easy to manage and provide training so your team can confidently update content, images and pages whenever you need. Of course, if you'd rather leave it to us, we're always here to help.
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your project. A straightforward website may take a few weeks, while larger ecommerce platforms or custom web development projects can take several months. We'll provide a realistic timeline from the outset and keep you informed every step of the way.
Every website is different, so the investment depends on your goals, functionality and level of customisation. Whether you need a simple brochure website, an ecommerce store or a custom web application, we'll recommend the right solution for your business and provide a clear proposal with no surprises.
Launching your website is just the beginning. We offer ongoing hosting, security, maintenance, support and continuous improvements to keep your website secure, up to date and performing at its best as your business grows.
Yes. We regularly integrate websites with CRMs, payment gateways, booking systems, ERPs, inventory platforms and other business software to create seamless workflows and reduce manual administration.
