Under the hood

Everything a modern website should be

Not just a pretty front end. The engineering and tooling that keep it fast, findable and easy to run.

Bespoke design

Designed around you, not a theme

No off-the-shelf templates that look like everyone else's. Every site is designed around your brand, your content and your goals.

Yours to manage

Built on Sanity and structured around your content. You edit what matters and publish in seconds, with guardrails built in so nothing can ever break by accident.

Responsive by default

Looks and works beautifully on every screen, at every size.

Search-ready

Clean, semantic code and technical SEO from day one, so you're built to be found, not patched later.

Secure & supported

Fast, secure hosting and ongoing support packages keep your site healthy and evolving long after launch.

Modern stack

Future-proof by design

We build on modern, battle-tested tools, so your site is fast today and easy to extend tomorrow.

How we work

A clear, structured process from first call to launch

01

Discovery & strategy

We learn about your business, audience and goals. That insight shapes the whole build, so your site supports your wider strategy - not just looks the part.

02

Design & development

From wireframes to a fully built site, we balance design, usability and performance - always responsive, accessible and search-ready.

03

Launch & aftercare

We train your team, hand over resources, and stay on hand post-launch with support packages, improvements and dedicated SEO.

Every website is quoted based on the scope, complexity and level of support required. The cost depends on things like the number of pages, content types, functionality, integrations, ecommerce requirements, migration work, design complexity and the amount of planning needed before build. After an initial conversation and wireframing process, we provide a clear fixed quote so you understand exactly what is included before committing.
Timelines vary depending on the size of the project, how much content is needed and how quickly feedback, approvals and access can be provided. Typically projects take between 3 and 8 weeks between initial chat and going live. A straightforward website will usually move faster than a larger build involving ecommerce, complex content structures, integrations, member areas or substantial migration work. We will give you a realistic estimated timeline as part of your quote and project agreement.
Yes. We build websites with a content management system so your team can update the agreed editable areas of the site. This might include pages, blog posts, case studies, team members, resources, products, events, FAQs or other content types agreed during the project. Core layouts, navigation, design systems and technical functionality are protected so the site remains consistent, reliable and well-structured.
For most custom website projects, we use a headless setup. This usually means a bespoke front end connected to a modern CMS, giving you a fast, flexible and carefully structured website. Our usual stack includes tools such as Sanity, Vercel and GitHub, but the exact setup depends on the needs of the project. For ecommerce projects, we often recommend Shopify where it is the right fit.
Yes. We build ecommerce websites, usually using Shopify where it is the right platform for the project. We can support product structure, collections, navigation, product-page design, payment setup, shipping information, integrations and the wider customer journey. For more complex ecommerce requirements, we will scope the project carefully before confirming the best approach.
No, our custom website projects are designed around the client, the content and the goals of the project. We may use proven design patterns and development approaches where they are useful, but we do not simply reskin generic templates and present them as bespoke websites.
Yes, where copywriting or content support is included in the project scope. Some clients write their own content, some provide rough material for us to shape, and others need more hands-on support. We will agree on responsibilities at the start so everyone is clear on who is writing, reviewing and approving content.
Yes. We can use existing content where it is accurate, relevant and suitable for the new website. In many projects, we help clients review what they already have, identify gaps and decide what should be kept, improved, rewritten or removed. Where larger content migration is needed, such as blogs, products, case studies or resources, we will include this in the scope.
Yes. We work across visual identity and website design, so we can support both. This can include logo development, typography, colour palettes, brand assets, design systems and practical brand guidelines. For many clients, aligning the brand identity and website together creates a much stronger final result.
Yes. We can integrate websites with third-party tools where appropriate. This may include booking systems, CRM platforms, email marketing tools, payment providers, ecommerce systems, analytics, forms, maps, member areas or other external services. Integrations need to be scoped properly, as complexity varies depending on the platform and what needs to happen.
Yes. We offer Growth Marketing support, including SEO, content, paid campaigns, analytics and reporting. For many clients, the website is the foundation. Ongoing SEO and growth work then helps bring the right people to it and improve performance over time.
For headless websites, hosting is usually covered through our monthly Hosting & Support package after launch. This package is currently £75 per month and includes managed hosting, priority communication and one retained hour each month for small agreed support, development, CMS, troubleshooting or content-support tasks. Where a project has more complex hosting, traffic, ecommerce or platform requirements, we will discuss any additional costs clearly.
Performance is considered throughout the build. We use modern development practices, optimised media, clean structure and suitable hosting to create websites that feel fast and responsive. Final performance can also depend on content, third-party scripts, tracking tools, embedded media and integrations.
We build using modern platforms and sensible security practices, including secure hosting, protected technical workflows and careful access management. No website is completely risk-free, but we aim to reduce unnecessary vulnerabilities and avoid the plugin-heavy maintenance issues often associated with older website setups.
