Website development.
Bespoke builds with a simple editor you can use yourself.
Bespoke builds with a simple editor, so your team can update the site without calling us.
A modern, secure build you can edit yourself
Website development is where the design becomes a working site. We build every site in-house, using our own custom platform rather than a theme and a stack of plugins. The result is a website that loads quickly, is harder to break and is easy for your team to update.
You do not need to know anything about code. You get an editor for the things you change often, and we look after everything underneath.
Start your website
What you get
Easy editing
Change pages, posts, FAQs, images and contact details yourself through a simple admin area. No page builder to wrestle with, and no risk of breaking the layout when you edit a paragraph.
Performance
We build for speed on mobile, because that is where most visitors arrive. Pages are lean, images are sized properly and nothing loads that does not need to. Fast pages keep visitors on the site and help search rankings.
Security
Fewer moving parts means less to attack. Our sites do not rely on dozens of third-party plugins, each with its own updates and weaknesses. With our managed hosting, sites are kept updated, backed up daily and monitored.
Built for search
Clean code, a logical page structure, schema markup, a sitemap and proper titles and descriptions on every page. Search engines and AI answer tools can read and understand your site from launch.
Integrations
Your website can connect to the tools you already use, such as contact forms that feed your CRM, online booking, payments, newsletters and maps. We will tell you what is possible with your systems before we quote.
Room to grow
Because the site is built for you, it can grow with you. New sections, features or a customer area can be added later without starting again.
How we build
- Signed-off design. We build from the designs you approved at the design stage.
- Development. We build the pages, set up the editor and add your content.
- Testing. We test on real phones, tablets and desktops, check page speed, forms and links, and run accessibility checks.
- Your review. You check the finished site before it goes live and tell us about anything that does not match what we agreed.
- Launch. We put the site live and set up redirects from your old pages, so you do not lose the search rankings you already have.
- Handover. We show your team how to use the editor.
Why not WordPress?
WordPress powers a lot of the web and suits some projects. But many small business WordPress sites end up slow, reliant on plugins and in need of constant updates. We build custom instead, so there is less to maintain and less to go wrong. Read more on our WordPress alternative page.
What a typical project includes
Most website development projects for small businesses cover a home page, an about page, a contact page, and service or product pages. We also set up the forms, the privacy and cookie pages, redirects from any old site and a basic search console check after launch.
Larger projects add things like client login areas, booking calendars, multi-location pages or integrations with accounts software. We will tell you clearly what is in scope and what would be a separate quote.
Hosting and aftercare
You can host the finished site with us or elsewhere. Our managed hosting is £35 a month plus VAT and includes daily backups, security updates, monitoring and support from the people who built it. If you host elsewhere, we hand over the files and a short guide so another provider can take over.
Working with us
We are based in Penarth and work across Wales and England. Most of the build stage happens online, with updates by email or video call. You always know what is happening next and when we need something from you, such as photos or text.
Pricing
Development is part of our custom website package, from £2,500 plus VAT as a one-off fee for design, build and launch. Integrations, e-commerce and custom features are quoted on scope. Managed hosting is £35 a month plus VAT.
Our work
See sites and platforms we have developed, including Family Kebab Newport's food ordering platform and Place Recruitment's recruitment platform, on our projects page.
Questions
Who owns the code? Once the project is paid for, you own the site built for you. We keep the rights to our underlying platform and tools and license them to you to run your site. See our client services agreement for the detail.
Can I move the site to another host later? Yes. If you leave our hosting, we provide the site files and database.
Can you add features later? Yes. Additional work is quoted before we start.
