Overview
Your website is often the first conversation
Customers, partners and job applicants usually meet your organisation online before they meet your team. A slow, confusing or outdated website makes that first impression harder than it needs to be.
We plan the structure around what your visitors are trying to do, write or refine the content with you, and design a visual system that reflects your brand. The site is then built to load quickly on mobile networks, work with a keyboard and screen reader, and give search engines clear, structured information.
Once it is live, your team should be able to update pages, news and listings without calling a developer. Where a content management system is part of the scope, we set it up around the content you actually publish.

Methodology
From plan to launch
Structure and content come first, so design and build effort goes into a site that answers what visitors are looking for.
- Step 01
Step 1: Plan
Goals, audiences, content inventory and the structure of the site, agreed before any visual design starts.
- Step 02
Step 2: Design
Wireframes, then visual designs for key page templates on mobile and desktop, reviewed with your team.
- Step 03
Step 3: Build
Templates and components are built, content is loaded and pages are checked across devices and browsers.
- Step 04
Step 4: Review
Accessibility, performance and SEO checks, content proofing and a final review round before launch.
- Step 05
Step 5: Launch and handover
Go-live, redirects from old URLs, editor training and the ongoing care arrangement you choose.

Questions
Questions about website projects
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.
Will our website rank first on Google?
No one can honestly guarantee search rankings. What we do is build strong technical foundations: fast pages, clean structure, metadata, sitemaps and structured data. Rankings also depend on your content, competition and other sites linking to you, which we can advise on.
Can our team update the website ourselves?
Yes, if a content management system is part of the scope. We set it up around the content you publish most, such as pages, news or listings, and train your editors. Some highly custom sections may still need a developer, and we will point those out during planning.
Do you write the content as well?
We help structure and refine content and can write or edit copy where it is included in the proposal. Your team still needs to supply the facts about your organisation and approve everything before it is published.
What happens to our existing website and its search history?
When replacing a site, we review existing pages and set up redirects from old addresses to their new equivalents, so visitors and search engines are not sent to dead links.
How long does a new website take, and who hosts it?
Both depend on the size of the site, how ready the content is and your preferences. Timelines are set out in the proposal after planning, and hosting can be arranged through a provider you already use or one we recommend, as agreed in the contract.
