Hand-coded business websites. Original design, persuasive content and the engineering to make every enquiry count.
We design and develop websites around your services and your customers, choosing the technology to fit the experience and the way your team works. The copy explains why you are worth choosing. The pages work on a phone. The forms connect to your business. And the code belongs to you.
“Our work is better than the website makes it look.” If that sounds familiar, a new colour palette is only part of the answer.
A prospective customer needs to understand what you do, see work that earns their confidence and know how to start a conversation. A site that hides the detail behind vague claims asks your sales team to do that work again.
There may be technical problems too: oversized images delaying the page, a mobile menu covering the content, forms that fail without an explanation or a page builder that makes every edit a negotiation.
Our website redesign services address the message and the machinery together. We keep what is useful, replace what is getting in the way and agree what the new site needs to do before designing it.
We focus on business and service websites where the presentation, depth of content and enquiry journey matter to the sale.
For consultancies and specialist firms whose offer needs more than a slogan. We build service pages that explain the work, project stories that demonstrate it and enquiry routes that gather the context your team needs.
Service pages · Project stories · Team expertise · Project enquiriesExplain the use cases, show the interface and help buyers understand plans or implementation options. Connect the marketing website to the agreed demo, trial or sales process.
Product pages · Use cases · Plan comparisons · Demo requestsFor a business that has outgrown its first website. Bring services, work examples, service areas and practical customer questions into a credible site your team can keep current.
Clear services · Relevant work · Customer questions · Contact & bookingNeed customer accounts, dashboards or a substantial business workflow? See client portal development or custom software development.
We take responsibility for the website as a complete piece of work. The proposal names the pages, features and content tasks included, alongside the material and approvals we need from you.
We work from your services, customer questions and actual experience to write the agreed pages. The copy explains the offer, the fit, the process and the next step. Your team supplies the business facts and approves claims; we identify where examples or proof are missing.
Typography, colour, page composition and original illustrations built around your identity and content. Key page types receive their own treatment where the subject calls for it, rather than repeating a homepage layout across the whole site.
We build with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, using React and the MERN stack, PHP, Python or other technologies where they fit. Content, interactions, integrations and editing needs guide the choice. Reusable components keep navigation, forms and layouts consistent and make future changes easier to manage.
We design the mobile reading order, navigation and forms deliberately. Review includes long headings, real images, keyboard focus, field labels and error messages, as well as the visual layout.
Page titles, descriptions, canonical addresses, a sitemap and relevant structured data are part of the build. We agree which enquiries and actions to measure, configure the selected analytics setup and check those events.
Contact, project-enquiry and booking journeys with server-side validation, spam controls and clear success or failure messages. Email delivery and any CRM or calendar connection are defined in the scope and tested before launch.
We identify the fields and pages you need to change. That may mean structured editing for services, projects and articles, or a simpler arrangement for an occasionally updated site. Editing features are agreed before development and documented at handover.
The agreed source code, account access, deployment details and operating notes. We document external services, recurring charges and responsibility for updates, backups and support.
Your accounts, domains and code repository are in your name from day one, and the code is yours as you pay for it.
An enquiry form connects a visitor to your business. Its design, validation, delivery and confirmation all need to agree about what happened.
Explain what you need, mark required fields and keep existing entries when a field needs correcting. Give keyboard and mobile users a clear way through.
Visitor sees: clear instructions and specific errors.Validate submitted values on the server, apply the agreed spam protections and handle the request through the configured delivery service.
System checks: valid input and a successful handoff.Send the agreed details to the inbox or CRM. Confirm submission after the configured handoff succeeds, and provide a recovery route if it fails.
Team receives: an enquiry they can follow up.A calendar, CRM or email service has its own access requirements. We assess the available integration method, identify required accounts and define failure handling before quoting the connection.
A visitor should be able to read the offer and use the page without waiting for decoration. We control image sizes, font loading, scripts and layout behaviour as part of the build.
Performance work starts with the actual page. We look for large assets, unnecessary requests and work that blocks interaction, then test again under the same conditions. A score alone does not tell us whether a visitor can complete the task.
Third-party widgets and tracking can add cost to the experience. We discuss what each integration contributes before loading it across the site.
A redesign also moves content, addresses and business connections. We plan that transition before building the new pages.
Identify current pages, useful content, downloads, forms and integrations. Where analytics and search data are available, use them to understand which pages already attract visitors and enquiries.
Keep meaningful URLs where possible. Map changed addresses to relevant replacements, update internal links and check the redirects. Retire pages deliberately instead of sending every old address to the homepage.
Verify key pages, forms, redirects, indexing settings and analytics on the deployed site. Preserve a recovery plan and make responsibility for hosting, DNS and email changes explicit.
Choose custom development when the design, page structure or integration needs justify a tailored implementation, and when the maintenance arrangement makes sense for your team.
For a simple presence with standard features and a limited budget, a managed website platform may be enough. For frequent publishing by many editors, compare content management options before committing to a custom editing system.
We define the editing workflow, integrations and ownership requirements first. Then you can compare complete solutions, including the cost to run and change them.
Distinct content and original visual work, supported by a shared design system.
Specific data, validation and integration requirements beyond a basic contact form.
A simpler platform may meet the brief without the cost of a bespoke build.
You approve the scope and design direction, then review working pages as they take shape. Content, mobile layouts and integrations are visible before the site goes live.
Pages, copy, editing, migration and integrations. Agree responsibilities, price and review milestones before work begins.
Develop the main page designs around your actual offer and evidence. Review the message and visual direction together.
Review implemented pages and journeys. Refine responsive layouts, connect the systems and work through launch checks.
Deploy, check the live experience and hand over access, code and documentation. Confirm support and maintenance arrangements.
Original page types, copy development, editing features, migration and integrations shape the cost. Page count alone does not describe the job.
Every project has a fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Hosting, licences and ongoing services are identified separately.
30 days of fixes after launch are included. Training is quoted separately, and ongoing support is on a monthly retainer.
A custom-coded website still needs maintenance. We agree who handles hosting, backups, dependency updates and future changes.
The agreed scope can cover page strategy, copy development, original visual design, responsive front-end development, forms, integrations and launch checks. We also define how the team will edit content and what is included in handover. Page types, migration work and third-party services are specified before the build, so the deliverables are concrete.
We work with PHP, the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js), Python and other technologies. We choose the approach around the content, interactions, integrations, hosting and editing workflow. A straightforward business site and an interactive web application can call for different solutions; we explain the recommendation and its maintenance needs before building.
Start with the problems you need to solve. If the platform and structure are sound, better copy, navigation or a repaired enquiry journey may be sufficient. A rebuild is more useful when the site cannot accommodate the content, design, editing or integration requirements without disproportionate work. We review what can be retained before recommending replacement.
Yes, copy development can be included in the website scope. We work from your services, customer questions, project material and business knowledge, then shape the page structure and wording alongside the design. Your team approves factual claims and provides permission to use supplied material. We identify missing evidence instead of inventing testimonials, results or credentials.
A hand-coded website gives us direct control over the templates, responsive behaviour, assets and integrations. That is useful when your services need distinct page designs or the enquiry process needs specific business logic. It is not automatically the cheapest or best option. A standard platform may suit a simple website; we compare the editing requirements, constraints and operating costs before recommending a custom build.
We define the editing requirements before choosing the implementation. A frequently updated site may need structured content fields, a CMS, previews and user permissions. A site that changes rarely may use a simpler arrangement. The proposal identifies what your team can change directly and which changes require development. Editing guidance is part of the agreed handover.
We inventory important addresses and retain them where they still fit the new structure. Where an address changes, we map it to an appropriate destination and implement the agreed redirects. We also check internal links, canonical URLs and the sitemap. This supports continuity for users and search engines, but a redesign cannot guarantee unchanged rankings or traffic.
The build includes the agreed technical foundation: crawlable pages, descriptive titles, canonical URLs, sitemaps and appropriate structured data. We organise substantive content around the offer and the questions buyers ask. These measures support discovery and understanding; they do not guarantee rankings or inclusion in AI answers. Ongoing search research, content development and measurement can be scoped separately.
We inspect the actual pages and control what they load: correctly sized images, suitable image formats, font delivery and scripts that serve a clear purpose. We test representative pages under recorded conditions and review the effect of external widgets and tracking. We do not promise a universal loading time or perfect score, because hosting, networks, devices and third-party services affect the result.
Yes, where the target system supports the required integration. We assess its API or embed options, authentication and data requirements before committing to the connection. The scope defines what is sent, what the visitor sees and what should happen when delivery fails. Required subscriptions and third-party limitations are identified separately.
Cost and timing depend on the distinct page types, content readiness, migration, editing features and integrations. We define those requirements before providing a proposal and schedule. Every project has a fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. The number we quote is the number you pay. Hosting, licences and ongoing services are identified separately. Review availability and access to existing systems are included in the delivery assumptions.
Yes. Hosting, application runtimes, libraries and external integrations still need attention. Content, backups and forms also need an owner. We document those responsibilities at handover and distinguish defect fixes from ongoing maintenance or new features. 30 days of fixes after launch are included. Training is quoted separately, and ongoing support is on a monthly retainer.
Your accounts, domains and code repository are in your name from day one, and the code is yours as you pay for it. Handover includes the agreed repository, hosting and service access, deployment notes and editing instructions. Third-party products retain their own licences and terms; any recurring services are identified separately.
Show us the current site and tell us where it falls short. We’ll help define what needs to change, what is worth keeping and what a properly scoped rebuild would involve.
