Web design and development studio
Not a template with your logo on it.
We design and build sites for small businesses, then host, monitor, and maintain them. One studio, one fixed price, and one number to call when something needs to change.

01What we do
A website nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer.
So the site is where we start rather than where we stop. Search, campaigns, brand, and the words on the page — one studio, one invoice, and one number to call when any of it needs to change.
Web design and development
Sites designed for one business and written in code, not assembled out of a theme. Fast on a phone with two bars, legible to a screen reader, and built to run for years without needing us.
Design and build · Accessibility · Speed on real phones
Search and local SEO
Most small businesses are found by somebody nearby typing what they need into a phone. The work is making that search end on your site rather than a competitor's, and making the listing beside it correct.
Local search · Google Business Profile · Technical SEO
Advertising and campaigns
Paid search and social for when you need work sooner than search can deliver it, and a newsletter for the audience you already have. Measured against enquiries rather than impressions, on a budget you set and can stop.
Google Ads · Paid social · Newsletters
Brand and identity
A mark, a palette, and a typeface that survive being put on a van, an invoice, and a shopfront in the same week. Done once, properly, so everything after it matches without being asked to.
Logo and marks · Colour and type · Print and signage
Words and pictures
The part most sites get wrong. We write the pages with you rather than asking you to send copy over, and we will say plainly when the photography is the thing holding the site back.
Copywriting · Photography direction · Ongoing content
Hosting, care, and reporting
Hosting, backups, monitoring, and updates, plus somebody who answers when it breaks at eight on a Monday. Once a month you get a plain page of numbers saying what the site actually did.
Hosting and backups · Monitoring and updates · Monthly reporting
Nobody buys all of it at once. Most start with the site and add the rest once it is earning its keep.
See what we build02How it works
Six steps, and you know the price after two.
Nothing here is billed by the hour, and nothing starts before you have the number in writing.
- 01
A conversation
45 minutesWe talk about the business before the website. What brings work in now, what the site actually has to do, and whether you need one at all. This costs nothing and sometimes ends with us saying you do not need us.
- 02
A fixed proposal
Within three daysScope, price, and dates in writing. One number, not a range and not an hourly rate. If we get the estimate wrong, that is our problem rather than a change order.
- 03
Design
One to two weeksYou see real pages with your own words in them, not a mood board. Two rounds of revisions are included because two is usually enough and unlimited rounds make everyone slower.
- 04
Build
Two to five weeksThe site gets built, tested on real devices, and checked for accessibility and speed. You get a preview link from the first week, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
- 05
Launch
One dayWe handle the domain, the certificate, the redirects, and the search console. If you already have a site, the old links keep working.
- 06
Care
OngoingHosting, monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers. Changes are included up to a sensible amount each month, and we tell you before anything is billable.
03Your dashboard
A dashboard with nothing in it you do not use.
Every client gets a login. What is behind it depends entirely on what your site does, so a three page brochure site does not open onto an empty store and an orders table that will never have a row in it.
Hosting
Uptime, deployments, domains, and certificates. Everyone gets this one.
Content
Change the details that actually change: hours, prices, key text.
Leads
Enquiries from your forms, categorised, with nothing lost in a shared inbox.
Store
Products, stock, and orders, with checkout hosted by the payment provider.
Analytics
Visitors, pages, and sources. Plain numbers, no vanity metrics.
Billing and support
Invoices, your care plan, and a thread with the people who built it.
