Website design and development
Your website is your front door. Research shows that 76% of people look at a business online before they visit in person, so first impressions count. We design and hand-build sites that are fast, secure and unmistakably yours.
Our approach
We're not just web designers
We're commercially minded, customer-centric business people. We know what a great user journey looks like and, more importantly, what a great customer experience feels like. That shapes every site we build.
Coded from first principles
We don't use off-the-shelf systems like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or Squarespace. Every site is hand-built to industry standards, so it's unique to you and carries nothing it doesn't need.
- Standards-based: HTML, CSS and JavaScript
- Proven frameworks such as Bootstrap, for reliable layouts on every browser and screen size
- Server-side PHP or Node.js with a MySQL database, where your site needs it
Built around your organisation
Every organisation is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all website. We start with what you need to achieve, then design a site that serves your customers, your content and your budget.
- Your goals first: what the site needs to do for your business
- Your look and voice, not a theme everyone else is using
- Room to grow, from a few pages to a fully managed site
Static, dynamic or both
The right kind of site for you
We'll agree the approach that best fits your organisation and your budget.
Static
Built by our team with every page written in HTML. Changes are quick for us to make, and it's the most economical option for sites that don't change often.
Dynamic
We design the layout and theme, then you add and update the words and pictures yourself through our own simple content management system. It's as easy as sending an email.
Hybrid
Often the best of both: news, blog posts and calendars you manage yourself, with the rest of the site hand-built in HTML.

Optimised for everyone
Found, fast and open to all
Every site we build is optimised from the ground up, not patched afterwards.
Search
Built to be found
Organic search traffic is essential to your success, so every site is built for Google, Bing and the rest from day one.
Mobile
Mobile first
Around half of all web traffic comes from mobile devices, and it's growing. Your site is designed for small screens first, then scaled up.
Accessibility
Open to every user
Screen reader support, image descriptions, adjustable colours and text sizes, and keyboard navigation are built into the design.
