The problem
When your own website belongs to someone else
Most companies find out too late. The site takes four seconds to appear on a phone, nobody in-house can change a price without opening a ticket, and the agency that built it holds the hosting, the domain and the passwords. None of that is a design problem: it is a decision taken three years earlier, when nobody asked who would own what at the end of the project.
We build the other way round. We start from what you need to publish and how often, then pick the technology to match: a custom PHP and MySQL build when there is real logic behind the pages, a tightly scoped WordPress when your team simply needs to write and publish. Either way, the editing screens are named after your business rather than after the CMS.
Speed and search visibility are decided while we build, not bolted on afterwards. Page structure, heading order, image weight, caching and server response time are settled before launch, because retrofitting them costs more than doing them once. When the site goes live you receive the source code, the database and every access credential, with a short handover note so anyone can take over.
What you get
What we build into every site
The same foundations on a five-page site and on a two-hundred-page one.
Loading speed
Compressed images, cached pages, few scripts. We measure on a real phone before launch, not after complaints.
Drawn for phones first
Layouts designed at phone width, then widened. Most of your visitors will never see the desktop version.
Your brand, as a system
Type, colour and components defined once, so new pages stay consistent without calling a designer back.
An editor people use
Fields and blocks named after your services. Adding a page takes minutes and no support request.
Wired to your tools
Forms into your inbox or CRM, bookings, payment, analytics, newsletter. Data is entered once.
How we work
How a website project runs
Four stages, in this order. You sign off each one before the next starts.
- 1
Scoping
One session to map the pages, the audiences and what each page has to achieve. Deliverable: a priced, prioritised scope with the technology choice written down.
1 week - 2
Design and prototype
Clickable screens for the key templates. You change your mind on the mockup, where changing your mind costs nothing.
2 weeks - 3
Build and content
We develop the templates while you fill them, page by page, on a private address you can share internally.
3 to 6 weeks - 4
Launch and support
Redirects, analytics, backups, then go live. Training for your team, then maintenance only if you want it.

A concrete example
Example — to be replaced with a real project
A thirty-page corporate site rebuilt for speed and self-service
The site ran on thirty-four plugins, took over five seconds to render on a phone, and needed the agency for every price change. We rebuilt the templates, cut the plugin list to six and moved editing to fields named after their services.

FAQ
What people ask us most
How long does a website take?
Six to ten weeks for a standard brochure site, from the first scoping session to launch. The schedule usually depends on your content rather than on us, because the templates are ready before the pages are written. If your text and photography already exist, the shorter end of that range is realistic.
WordPress or a custom build?
Both, and we say which one at scoping. WordPress fits when the site is mostly pages and articles and your team publishes often. A custom PHP and MySQL build fits when there is business logic, an account area or an integration behind the pages. We do not charge more for one than the other.
Can we update the site ourselves?
That is the point of the way we build. Editors get fields and blocks named after your own content, so adding a page or changing a price takes a few minutes and no ticket. We run a short training session at launch and leave a written guide for whoever joins the team later.
Who owns the site at the end?
You do. The source code, the database, the domain and the hosting account are in your name from the first day of the project. Maintenance and future work with us stay optional, and nothing we deliver stops working if you decide to go elsewhere next year.
