Design, build and care, under one roof

Your website, handled.

Put the kettle on. We design and build websites, online stores and apps that look the part, work on every phone, and keep working long after launch. Then we look after them, so you can get back to running the business.

What do you need?

Pick the closest fit. We will show you what that usually looks like and what happens next.

Website design and build

A site that explains what you do and gets people in touch.

We write it with you, design it around your customers, and build it to work on a phone first. You get a site you can update yourself, on a domain you own.

A short conversation about your business and your customers
A fixed quote in writing before anything starts
Design, build, launch, then a care plan if you want one
Tell us about your project
Online store

A store that takes payment, ships orders and does not need babysitting.

Products, variants, shipping, payments and tax set up properly from day one, on a platform you can keep running yourself, without us.

We map out your products and how you ship before we build
Checkout tested with a real order before handover
Training so you can add products yourself
Talk about a store
App design and development

An app your customers or your staff actually open.

Built once on web technology, running on both iPhone and Android. It either installs to the home screen straight from your website, or it goes into the App Store and Google Play. Bookings, ordering, accounts, loyalty, a staff tool, forms that work out of signal.

You tap through a prototype of your own app before any build starts
Apple and Google accounts opened in your name, and the code is yours
Not written from scratch in Swift and Kotlin, and we say so up front
Talk about an app
Fix or refresh

Keep what works, fix what does not, make it look current.

Broken forms, slow pages, a look that has dated, or a site that falls apart on a phone. We sort the list you give us and tell you what else we found.

A written review of your current site first
An agreed fix list, so you know exactly what you are getting
Redirects set up so the search results you already have keep working
Send us your site
Care plan

Updates, backups, security and small changes, every month.

For people who never want to think about their website again. We keep it updated, watch it, back it up, and make the small changes you ask for.

Works with sites we built and sites we did not
A plain-English note each month on what happened
Cancel any time, no exit fee
See care plans
No pressure

That is fine. It is a good place to start.

Send us a couple of sentences about your business and what is bugging you about your current setup. We will reply in writing with what we would do, and roughly what it costs. No obligation, no hard sell.

How a project goes

Four steps. No surprises.

You will always know where things are, what happens next, and what it costs. Click through.

Step one

We start with the business, not the website.

Who your customers are, how they find you, what they ask before they buy, and what you are sick of doing by hand. That conversation becomes the brief. You get a written summary and a fixed quote, and nothing starts until you are happy with both.

Step two

The words come first. Then the design.

We draft the copy with you so the design is built around what you actually need to say. You see the design as real pages on a real phone, not a flat picture, and you get rounds of changes written into the quote.

Step three

Built properly, then tested like a customer would use it.

Fast, accessible and easy to update. Forms are tested end to end, so an enquiry actually lands in your inbox. If it is a store, we place a real order before anyone else can.

Step four

Launch day is the start, not the finish.

We connect your analytics and search tools, hand over a short written guide, and show you how to make changes yourself. If you would rather not, a care plan keeps it updated, backed up and watched every month.

Why people stay with us

The unglamorous stuff, done properly.

Plain English, always

No jargon in quotes, emails or handovers. If we cannot explain it simply, we have not finished thinking about it.

You own everything

Your domain, your hosting, your accounts, your content. The finished site is yours once it is paid for. We get access, never ownership.

Fixed quotes, in writing

You know the price before we start, and the number of revision rounds is written into it.

We stick around

Launch is the start. Care plans keep your site updated, backed up and watched, month after month.

Questions people ask

Before you email, a few answers.

Anything else, just ask. We reply in writing so you have a record.

It depends on the size, and we tell you before we start. A single page is quick, a full site is usually two to six weeks once we have your content, and a store takes longer because there is more to test. The thing that slows most projects down is waiting on words and photos, so we help with both.
Our prices are published on the pricing page, so you can see them before you talk to us. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing, with the number of revision rounds included, before any work starts.
No. We draft the words with you from a conversation about your business, then you correct what we got wrong. You know your customers, we know what a page needs to say.
Yes. We start with a written review of what you have, then either fix it, refresh it, or put it on a care plan as it is. We will tell you honestly if it is better to start again.
Software updates and security patches, backups, uptime monitoring, and a set amount of small changes each month, like new prices, hours or photos. You get a short note every month saying what happened. Cancel any time.
Yes. Every site comes with a short written guide and a walkthrough, and we build on platforms you can manage without us. If you would rather never touch it, that is what the care plan is for.
Ready when you are

Tell us what is bugging you about your website.
