Website Design and Build

New websites on standard WordPress, built to be clear, fast and easy to edit, with every account in your name from the first day.

What you get

A new website for your business, designed around the few things you need visitors to do: call, book, ask for a quote or buy. We build on standard WordPress, the open source platform, so you are not tied to us or to a proprietary builder, and any competent developer can work on the site after us.

  • A clear structure. Pages organized the way customers look for information, with one page for each service and each place you serve where that makes sense.
  • A design that fits your business. Built for your content, readable on any phone, with buttons that are easy to tap and forms that work.
  • Fast pages. We aim for Google’s Core Web Vitals targets on the main page types and avoid heavy page builders and plugins the site does not need.
  • Accessibility basics. Headings in order, text alternatives for images, enough color contrast and labeled forms.
  • Search basics. A title and description for every page, a sitemap, clean addresses, structured data and a site that search engines and AI assistants are allowed to read.
  • Easy editing. You can change text, add a page or post an article without calling anyone. Before launch, you try it yourself.
  • Analytics. Set up under your own account, so the numbers belong to you.

What you own

Everything. The domain is registered in your name. The hosting account is yours and billed to you. You have a full administrator account on the site from the first day, and Search Console and analytics are set up under your account with us added as users. When the project ends, there is nothing to hand over, because nothing was ever in our name. How we work sets this out in full.

What we need from you

Your words and your photos make the site yours. We help you organize and edit the content, but we will ask you for the facts only you know: your services, prices if you publish them, service areas, opening hours and what makes you different. If you need help with writing or photography, say so on the quote form and we will include it or tell you who to look for.

How the project runs

  1. Conversation. What the site is for, who it is for and what you have now.
  2. Written quote. Scope, what is out of scope, what you provide, and dates.
  3. Structure and content. The list of pages and what each one says.
  4. Design and build. On a private copy of the site, reviewed on your own devices.
  5. Launch. Search engines allowed in, forms and analytics tested, sitemap submitted.
  6. First weeks. We keep checking, and fix what comes up.

Frequently asked questions

Do you publish prices?

No. The cost depends on the number of pages, the features and how much content work is involved, so we quote each project in writing. The quote lists what is included and what is not.

Why WordPress?

It is open source, it runs on almost any host, and many developers know it. That means you can move the site or change who looks after it without rebuilding it. When a hosted builder would suit you better, we will say so.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. We build so that you can edit text, add pages and publish articles yourself, and we show you how before launch. If you would rather not, website management includes time for changes.

Will my site work on phones?

Yes. Every page template is designed and tested on real phones, not only on a desktop screen.
