Web design & software
We build the site and run the server under it
On most projects the designer, the developer and the host are three different companies — and when something breaks, all three point at each other. We do all three.
Scope
What we build
From a small brochure site to software written for how your business actually runs.
Corporate websites
A site that explains your business, works properly on a phone and can be found in search. Built for your business, not from a template.
E-commerce
Products, cart, payment and shipping, wired to the providers your customers expect.
Custom software
The work off-the-shelf packages do not cover: panels, booking, stock, reporting. Written after we understand how the work runs.
Migration
We move a site that sits with another company — domain, e-mail and database included. Downtime is planned, not discovered.
Maintenance
Launching is half the job. Security updates, backup checks and content changes on an ongoing basis.
Performance and SEO
Page speed, technical SEO and search visibility, measured in the same panel.
Process
How we work
We agree what we are building before quoting. On most projects the expensive mistake is discovering a misunderstood requirement after it has been built.
-
01 The conversation
You describe what you do, who will use it and what currently gets in the way. Free, and it commits you to nothing.
-
02 Scope and quote
What will and will not be built, and how long it takes, in writing. The price follows — a number given before scope misleads one of us.
-
03 Build
The work lands in pieces and you see each one working. Nothing is a surprise at the end.
-
04 Launch
The site goes onto your own server with SSL, e-mail and working backups.
-
05 After
Maintenance is optional. The code and every credential are yours; you can continue with anyone.
One supplier
What changes when the hosting is ours too
- One number to call
- When the site is down there is nobody to argue with about whether it is the design, the code or the server.
- Sized by the people who built it
- The developers know what the software needs. The plan is chosen from measurement, not a guess.
- Backups and monitoring included
- Automatic backups and uptime monitoring are set up with the site, not remembered later.
Questions
Common questions
What does it cost? +
It depends on scope, and a number given before scope is agreed is not one you can rely on. You get a written fixed-price quote, and it does not move mid-project.
How long does it take? +
Scope decides that too. The quote carries a date, and it is a commitment rather than an estimate; if it will slip you hear why before it does.
WordPress, or written from scratch? +
It depends. For a content-led corporate site an existing platform is cheaper and something you can run yourself. For a system built around your workflow it has to be written. We say which in the first conversation — recommending the expensive one is easy, being right lasts longer.
My site is elsewhere — can you move it? +
Yes. Domain, files, database and mailboxes. The downtime is planned and usually measured in minutes.
Will I be locked in? +
No. The code, the content and every credential are yours. If you do not take maintenance from us the site keeps running.
