Custom websites — code.
A hand-built website where every line is there for a reason. Fast to load, exact to the design and free of plugin bloat. For businesses where speed and control matter more than editing tools.
01 — Problem and outcome
Template sites are slow, heavy and hard to bend.
Themes and plugins add weight and limit what you can do. Pages load slowly, designs get compromised to fit the template, and every extra feature adds another dependency.
A site that loads fast and looks exactly as designed.
Lean pages, precise design and full control over behaviour. Measured by load speed, search performance and the enquiries the site brings in.
02 — The detail

Your approved design built accurately for every screen size.
Performance budget
Speed targets set at the start and checked before launch.
Accessibility and SEO
Semantic markup, keyboard support and search fundamentals built in from the first page.

Hosting and deployment
Set up on fast hosting with a simple way to deploy changes.
Handover
Source code and documentation. Content changes are made by a developer, or you can add a CMS later.
One week to pin down what gets built, what it costs and when it ships. You get it in writing.
Week 1 · fixed price, fixed dateWeekly demos on a real URL, not screenshots. You see progress and can change your mind while it is still cheap.
Weekly demo on a real URLWe launch, watch the first days and hand over documentation so nobody is left guessing.
Launch, monitoring, handover docsStay on a retainer for changes and support, or take the repo and run with it. Your call.
Retainer or repo handoffWhen speed, design precision or custom behaviour matter more than editing on your own, or when the content rarely changes. If your team publishes weekly, the CMS option is the better fit.
Yes. A hand-built site can be connected to a CMS when your needs change, so this choice does not lock you in.
Small changes go through us, or through a retainer. If you expect to edit often, tell us in scoping and we will point you to the CMS service.
Fixed price. In the first week we scope the work, write down what is included and what it costs, and agree a launch date. If the scope changes later, we price the change before doing it, not after.
The finished product live, the code repository and handover documentation so another developer could pick it up. Stay on a retainer for changes, or take it in-house. Your call.
