Typical searches we work on
A good-looking site that nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer.
Most websites are designed first and “optimised” later. By then the page structure is fixed, the headings are decorative and the old URLs, the ones Google already knew, have quietly been thrown away. Rankings drop, and nobody is quite sure why.
We work the other way round. Before any design, we decide which pages the site needs, which search each page answers and what a visitor should do next. Design then has a job to do: make that page fast, clear and convincing on a phone.
- Page structure planned around real searches
- Every old URL redirected to its new home
- Fast on mobile, tested on real devices
- Enquiry forms and tracking that work on day one
What is included
What we design and build.
From a single landing page to a full online shop.
Discovery and site structure
Goals, audiences, pages and the search each page is for, agreed before design starts.
UX and interface design
Clear hierarchy, your brand applied properly and one obvious next step on every page. Designed mobile-first, because that is where most local searches happen.
WordPress development
Clean, fast WordPress builds you can edit yourself, without a pile of plugins slowing everything down. See WordPress web design.
Shopify and ecommerce
Catalogue structure, product pages, checkout and payments set up so the shop is easy to find and easy to buy from. See ecommerce web design.
Custom development
Booking journeys, quote calculators, integrations and bespoke features when an off-the-shelf theme will not do.
Landing pages
Focused pages for ad campaigns and offers: one message, one action, measured. See landing pages and conversion optimisation.
SEO-safe migration
If you already rank, we map every old URL to its new home so your visibility moves with you, then watch Search Console after launch.
Tracking and forms
GA4, Search Console, call and form tracking, and spam-protected enquiry forms set up before launch, so you can see what the site produces.

How it works
From brief to launch.
Understand
We learn the business, the customers and the searches worth winning, and agree the page structure.
Design
Key pages are designed and shared with you early, on real content rather than placeholder text.
Build
Developed, tested on real phones and browsers, and loaded with your content.
Launch and improve
Redirects, tracking and checks at launch, then improvements based on what visitors actually do.
Evidence
Do not take the pitch. Inspect the work.
Real businesses, visible contexts. Open any of them to see what the work was built to change.

Questions
Web design & development: straight answers.
Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the features and how much content needs writing. We scope the work first and give you a clear quote. Tell us what you need and the budget you have in mind, and we will tell you what it can sensibly buy. Our guide to what a website costs in the UK sets out the published ranges.
How long does a website take?
A focused brochure site can be ready in a matter of weeks; larger and ecommerce builds take longer. The most common delay is content, so we plan it early.
Will my new website rank on Google?
It will be built to be found: clean structure, fast pages and the right content. Where it ranks depends on your competition and on continuing SEO work, and nobody can guarantee positions.
We are replacing our website. Will we lose our rankings?
Not if the move is handled properly. We redirect every old address to its new page, keep the content that was earning visibility and monitor Search Console after launch.
WordPress or Shopify?
For service businesses and content-led sites, WordPress is usually the better fit. If selling products online is the main job, Shopify is hard to beat. We will recommend one and explain why.
Can you improve our existing site instead of rebuilding it?
Often, yes. Many sites need clearer structure, faster pages and better calls to action rather than a rebuild. If a rebuild is the honest answer, we will say so.
Start with the search moment

- 01You tell us what you need and roughly when.
- 02We ask the questions that shape the scope.
- 03You get a recommended approach and a clear quote.
