Websites that load before your customers lose interest

We design and hand-build websites for UK businesses. They’re fast, accessible and set up for search from day one, then hosted and looked after by us.

What you get with every site

These aren’t extras. They’re how we build.

Fast to load

Lean, hand-written pages and optimised images. Our client sites score 100 for desktop performance in Google Lighthouse.

Designed for your customers

Layouts built around what your visitors need to find and do, not a theme someone else chose.

Mobile first

For most businesses, most visitors arrive on a phone. We design for that first, then scale up to larger screens.

Accessible

Readable contrast, keyboard navigation and proper structure, so everyone can use your site.

Ready to rank

Clean structure, page titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap, set up before launch.

Secure by default

No plugins to patch, spam-protected forms, and hosting we harden and monitor ourselves.

Measured, not just made

We test our sites with Google Lighthouse, which measures speed, accessibility and technical best practice. These are the current scores for the sites in our portfolio.

How a project runs

You always know what happens next and what it costs.

  2. Design

    Page layouts and a visual direction for your brand, reviewed together until it feels right.

  3. Build

    Hand-coded, tested on real phones and browsers, and checked for speed and accessibility.

  4. Launch

    Domain, email records, analytics and Search Console set up. Old pages redirected so you keep your rankings.

  5. Care

    Hosting, updates, monitoring and changes when you need them, all handled by us.

Questions we’re often asked

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the number of pages, the features and how much help you need with content. After a short call we send a fixed quote covering design, build and launch, with hosting and care priced separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

How long does it take?

Most sites take one to two weeks from the agreed scope. Bespoke work is planned in stages, with dates agreed up front.

Can I update the site myself?

Most clients prefer to send us changes, which is what the care plan is for. If you need to publish regularly, for example news or events, we’ll scope a simple way for you to do it yourself.

Do I own the website?

Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, and the design, code and content are yours. If you ever move on, we hand everything over.

I already have a website. Can you redesign it?

Yes. We review what’s working today, keep the pages that bring in traffic, and redirect old addresses so you don’t lose search rankings when the new site goes live.

Why not use a page builder or theme?

Builders and themes load code for features you’ll never use. That makes sites slower, harder to secure and harder to rank. We write only what your site needs, which is a big part of why our client sites score 100 for desktop performance.
