What we design and build

Four kinds of website, one standard.

Designed around your business, not a template. Built to be found, and to be updated by you without calling us.

Business websites

A professional site that explains what you do, ranks for the searches your customers make, and turns visits into enquiries.

Website redesigns

Already have a site that looks dated, loads slowly or never gets found? We rebuild it on modern foundations and keep the search rankings you have earned.

Online shops

E-commerce that is simple to run day to day: products, payments, delivery options and the admin tools your team actually needs.

Landing pages and campaign sites

Focused pages for a launch, a service or an ad campaign, built quickly and measured properly.

Selected work

Built for banks, product teams and the bakery down the road.

The same care at every scale. Three projects that show the range.

APtimise website on a laptop

Web apps and interactive prototypes for a bank-backed fintech.

A series of websites, web applications and clickable prototypes delivered to the engineering team over several years.

The Review Port website on a laptop

A research portal and CMS for a subscription insights business.

Website, content management and a client portal so subscribers can read, search and download research in one place.

Bore St. Bakery website on a laptop

Brand, identity and website for an independent bakery.

A concept, logo and site that matched the brief the owners gave us, from first sketch to launch.

Honest advice

Website builder or bespoke?

Not every business needs a custom-built website. If a Squarespace, Wix or Shopify template genuinely covers what you need, we will tell you so, and can help you set it up properly rather than sell you something bigger.

Bespoke earns its keep when the template starts fighting you: specific workflows, integrations with your other systems, serious search visibility, or a design that has to stand apart. That is where a studio beats a builder.

Every build includes

The boring things done properly.

  • Fast loading and mobile-first, tested on real devices.
  • Search engine optimisation built in from day one, not bolted on.
  • Accessibility and plain-English content guidance.
  • Analytics, so you know what the site is doing for you.
  • Hosting, security and updates handled, or handed over cleanly.
Common questions

Website design, answered plainly.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on scope. A focused marketing site for a small business is typically a few thousand pounds; online shops and web applications are more. After a short call we give a fixed quote, so there are no surprises.

How long does it take?

Most small business websites launch in three to six weeks from kick-off. Redesigns are often quicker because the content already exists.

Will my website show up on Google?

We build every site with technical SEO in place: fast pages, proper structure, metadata, a sitemap and local search signals. Rankings then grow with good content, and we can advise on that too.

Can you update my existing website instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. If the foundations are sound we improve what is there. If they are not, we will show you why and quote for a rebuild, and we keep your existing URLs and rankings intact either way.

Should I use a website builder or get a bespoke website?

If a Squarespace, Wix or Shopify template genuinely covers what you need, use it, and we will say so. Bespoke is worth it when you need specific workflows, integrations, serious search visibility or a distinctive design.
