Most business websites are bought as decoration and priced as a commodity: a template, a logo swap, a contact form, done. Then the invoices keep arriving and the enquiries don’t.
We build websites the way we build software, because we’re a software studio and a website is software. That changes what you get. Pages engineered to load fast on a phone on bad reception. Structure and metadata that give search engines something to work with. Forms that land in the right inbox with the details your team needs. An editing setup the person who owns the content can drive without ringing a developer.
Big and small, same standard
The size of the business doesn’t change the workmanship. We’ve built sites for sole traders and local firms, and we’ve built the platform behind News.net, which serves more than 110,000 local news sites from a single hub. A five-page company site gets the same fundamentals as a platform, just less of them: performance, accessibility, clean structure and a launch that doesn’t break anything that already ranks.
What does change with size is what the site has to carry. A trade business might need the site to feed quotes into a job system. A firm might need gated client resources. A retailer needs an online store that syncs stock and finance. A venue needs bookings that route properly instead of generating email chains. Because the same team builds those systems, the website can connect to them instead of standing apart from the way the business actually runs.
What we won’t sell you
A few things stay off the quote on principle. Page-one ranking promises, because nobody can honestly make one. A chatbot bolted on because it’s fashionable, when it mostly annoys the people trying to buy from you. And a rebuild you don’t need: if your current site’s problems are fixable, fixing them is usually cheaper, and we’ll tell you so even though it’s the smaller job.
After launch
A website is at its best the day it goes live and drifts from there unless someone owns it. At handover you get the accounts, the documentation and the training to run it yourselves. If you’d rather not think about updates, backups, monitoring and small changes, our support and maintenance plans cover exactly that, with the scope and response times in writing.
Send us what the site needs to do, roughly how many pages you’re imagining and when it has to be live. We’ll come back with a straight recommendation and a fixed quote.
