Home/Work/Website Creation

Website Creation

A website has one job: turn a stranger's attention into a conversation. We design and build for that, then hand you the keys.

One of the areas we are asked for most — not the limit of what we take on.

Everything else we handle

The work

Designed for readers, built for speed.

Most business websites fail in the first ten seconds — not because they are ugly, but because a visitor cannot tell what is on offer, who it is for, or what to do next. So we start with the argument the site needs to make, then design around it. Structure and copy first; visual polish after.

The build follows the same discipline. Pages are written as clean, semantic HTML and stay light, which is what makes them fast on a phone on mobile data and legible to search engines. Performance and accessibility are requirements we test against, not upgrades we sell later.

What we build

  • Marketing and brochure sites — five to thirty pages, the common case.
  • Rebuilds and rescues of sites that have grown slow, unmaintainable or unsafe.
  • E-commerce on Shopify, or custom where the catalogue and workflow warrant it.
  • Booking and lead-capture flows wired into your calendar, CRM or inbox.
  • Editable content via a CMS your team can use without training days.

Editing it yourself

You should never have to email an agency to fix a typo. Every build ships with a content system matched to how often you actually publish — a full CMS if you post weekly, something lighter if you change three sentences a year — plus a short walkthrough video recorded on your own site.

Included as standard

  • Structure, wireframes and copy direction
  • Custom design — no reskinned template
  • Responsive build, phone through desktop
  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility pass
  • Core Web Vitals in the green at launch
  • On-page SEO, schema markup and sitemap
  • Analytics and conversion tracking
  • SSL, hosting setup and DNS migration
  • Training walkthrough and 30 days of post-launch fixes

Typical timeline

Three to six weeks for a standard marketing site, assuming content and feedback come back promptly. E-commerce and custom functionality run longer; we give you a dated schedule with the quote.

How it goes

From first call to live.

Stage 01

Positioning

Who the site is for, what it must persuade them of, and which pages that requires. Half a day of your time, and it decides everything after.

Stage 02

Design

Two directions for the key pages, then one refined to a full set. Reviewed in the browser at real sizes, not as flat pictures.

Stage 03

Build

On a staging link you can share with anyone. Comments go in as we go, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

Stage 04

Launch

Redirects mapped, analytics verified, Search Console submitted, speed and accessibility re-tested on the live domain.

Questions

What clients ask about websites.

Do you use WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or something custom?

Whichever suits the job. Shopify for most e-commerce. A modern static or headless build where speed and low maintenance matter. WordPress when the team already knows it or a specific plugin ecosystem is genuinely needed. We will explain the trade-off and the running cost of each before choosing.

Who writes the copy?

You can, and we will give you a structured brief per page so it is not a blank document. If writing is not something you want to take on, we can do it — priced separately and quoted up front.

Will the rebuild hurt our current Google rankings?

Not if it is done carefully. We inventory existing URLs, map every one to a redirect, keep the pages that earn traffic, and monitor Search Console for the weeks after launch. Rankings usually improve, because the new site is faster and better structured.

What happens after launch?

Thirty days of fixes are included. After that you can maintain it yourself — everything is in your accounts — or put it on a monthly plan with us for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes.
