Website Development
A website that explains what you do clearly and makes it easy for the right people to contact you.
A website built around your business
Most business websites have one job: help a visitor understand what you offer, trust you enough to continue, and take the next step. We start from that job and work back to the pages, content and features you need, instead of starting from a template and filling in the gaps.
That can mean a focused marketing site for a small business, a larger site your team updates every week, or an online store. The scope depends on what you are trying to achieve, and we agree it with you in writing before any build work begins.
How the work runs
Scoping
We talk through your goals, your audience and any existing site, then send a written proposal covering pages, features, cost and timeline.
Design and content
We design the key pages first so you can react to something real. Changes are cheapest at this stage, so this is where we want your honest opinion.
Build and review
We build on a private staging link where you can click through the site on your own devices and send feedback before anyone else sees it.
Launch and handover
We test forms and pages, move the site to your domain, and show your team how to manage it. If you want ongoing help after launch, our maintenance service covers that.
What we need from you
- One person who can give feedback and make decisions
- Your logo, brand assets, photos and any existing written content
- Access to your domain and hosting, or a decision on where the site should live
- A few websites you like, and a sentence on why you like them
Not sure exactly what you need? That is a normal place to start. Tell us what the website should do for your business and we will help you work out the scope.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the number of pages, the features you need and who is producing the content. Once we understand the project we send a written quote, so you know the cost before work starts.
The timeline depends on the scope and on how quickly content and feedback can move. We agree a schedule with you as part of the proposal rather than quoting a generic figure.
Yes. We review what is working and what is not, and carry over the content worth keeping. We also plan redirects so that links to your old pages keep working.
If regular updates matter to you, we scope an admin area into the project and show you how to use it. If you would rather not touch it, we can make updates for you under a maintenance arrangement.
We can work with content you already have, shape your rough notes into page copy, or scope content writing into the project. Tell us what you have and we will suggest the simplest route.
