Web design and build

Sites that load fast, read well and get found — designed around your customers, then built properly.

A website has two jobs: be found, and be convincing. Most fail the first because they are slow and thin, and the second because they talk about the company rather than the customer.

We design around the questions your buyers actually ask, then build in code rather than page-builder plugins. The result is a site that scores well on Core Web Vitals, reads cleanly to a search engine, and still looks like it belongs to you.

Every site we ship is search-ready on day one — structured data, clean headings, sensible URLs, sitemap, metadata, generated social cards. Not something to bolt on next quarter.

What you get

What web design & build includes

Every engagement covers the same ground. Nothing here is an optional extra we spring on you halfway through.

Design that fits your brand

Colour, type and layout drawn from your identity — or a new one built with you if there is nothing to work from.

Technical SEO built in

Semantic markup, structured data, canonical URLs, XML sitemap, robots rules and per-page metadata as standard.

Genuinely fast

Statically rendered pages, modern image formats and no bloated plugin stack. Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor.

Accessible by default

Keyboard navigation, sensible contrast, alt text and screen-reader-friendly structure — WCAG 2.2 AA as the target.

Content you can edit

A simple admin area for the pages that change often, so you are not raising a ticket to fix a typo.

Copy that answers questions

We will draft the page structure and content around real search intent if you would rather not start from a blank page.

Is this you?

You want the site and the software behind it built by the same team
You are launching something new and need a credible presence quickly

Questions

Web design & build FAQs

Including what it costs and how long it takes.

How much does a website cost?

A focused brochure site is typically £1,800 to £4,000. A larger marketing site with service landing pages, a blog and an SEO plan usually runs £4,000 to £9,000. Sites with logins, bookings or payments are quoted as web applications.

Do you work with WordPress?

We can support an existing WordPress site, but we do not recommend it for new builds. We build in Next.js because it is faster, more secure and far cheaper to maintain — there is no plugin stack to patch every month.

Will my site rank on Google?

We build every technical ranking factor in: speed, structure, structured data, mobile behaviour, internal linking and crawlability. Ranking also depends on content depth and competition in your sector, so we plan a keyword cluster with you rather than promising a position.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. We fit a lightweight editor to the sections that genuinely change — news, case studies, pricing, team — and leave the structural pages under version control where they are safe.
