Websites built to be found and to convert
Design and development by a team that also does SEO, so structure, speed and tracking are right from the first line of code.
- Search-ready structure, metadata and schema built in
- Fast on mobile, tested against Core Web Vitals
- WordPress, custom PHP and ecommerce
- Redesigns planned so existing rankings are kept
What does a web design and development service include?
A site can look good and still fail the business. The usual causes are structural: pages that load slowly on a phone, content hidden from search engines, no clear next step for the visitor, and a redesign that changed every URL without redirects. These are far cheaper to prevent during a build than to repair afterwards.
For an example of a full build, see GBP Pin, the local rank-tracking platform we designed, developed and launched ourselves.
Because we also run SEO and paid campaigns, we build sites for the traffic they will receive, and we follow the technical SEO requirements we would otherwise be asked to retrofit.
Signs you need it
The site is slow on mobile
Pages take several seconds to show content, and visitors leave before they see what you offer.
It looks dated or is hard to update
The design no longer reflects the business, and simple changes need a developer.
Visitors do not enquire
Traffic arrives, but the pages give no clear reason or route to get in touch.
A redesign is planned
You want a new site without losing the search traffic the current one earns.
What the service covers
Website design
Page layouts and a visual system designed around your content and the actions you want visitors to take, mobile first.
WordPress development
Custom themes built without bloated page builders, so the site is fast and your team can edit it safely.
Custom PHP development
Bespoke sites and tools where an off-the-shelf platform does not fit: booking flows, calculators, client areas, integrations.
Ecommerce development
WooCommerce and Shopify stores with sound category structure, product data and checkout tracking.
Landing pages
Single-purpose pages for advertising campaigns, built to load fast and tested to convert.
Speed optimisation
Image delivery, caching, script and font loading and server response improved on an existing site, measured before and after.
Maintenance and support
Updates, backups, security patches, uptime monitoring and small changes handled monthly.
Redesigns and migrations
URL mapping, 301 redirects, staging checks and post-launch monitoring so the new site inherits the old one's rankings.
How we work
Discovery
We establish what the site must achieve, who uses it, what content exists and which current pages earn traffic.
Structure and design
Sitemap and URL plan first, then wireframes and visual design. You approve each stage.
Build
Development on a staging site, with content loaded, tracking installed and pages tested on real devices.
Launch and support
Redirects go live with the site, Search Console is monitored for errors, and the site moves into maintenance.
What you receive
- A sitemap and URL plan
- Approved designs for key templates
- A tested, responsive website
- Analytics, conversion tracking and Search Console configured
- A redirect map and launch checklist for redesigns
Who it suits
- Local and service businesses that need a credible, fast site
- Companies replacing an outdated or unmanageable website
- Stores moving to or between ecommerce platforms
- Marketing teams that need campaign landing pages
What it costs
Websites are quoted as fixed-price projects once the scope is agreed: number of templates, features, content and integrations. Maintenance is a monthly fee. Tell us what you need on the contact page.
