Who it is for

When it’s time for a new website

Most businesses come to us at one of these moments.

You don’t have a website yet

A new business needs a site that explains what you do and makes it easy to get in touch.

Your site looks dated

It is slow, hard to read on a phone or hard to update, and it no longer matches your business.

You want to sell online

You need a store with products, payments and a checkout that works on every device.

Visitors don’t get in touch

People find the site but don’t call, book or send the form, and you can’t tell why.

What is included

What we build

Pick the platform that fits the job. We recommend one after hearing what the site has to do.

WordPress websites

Secure, fast WordPress sites shaped around your goals and audience, built with tools like Elementor and WooCommerce where they fit, and easy for you to update.

Shopify stores

Store setup, theme customization, product structure and checkout, using Shopify’s own tools and well-tested apps.

More about shopify stores
Custom-coded websites

Hand-built sites for brands that need a design, speed or features a theme can’t give them.

Web apps and APIs

Full-stack builds: the front end your users see and the back end behind it (server logic, database, APIs), from one team.

More about web apps and apis
Mobile and hybrid apps

Apps for Android and iOS with Flutter, React Native, Swift or Kotlin, or one hybrid codebase for both.

UI and UX design

Screens and user flows designed around how people actually use the site or app, so they find what they came for.

On every build

Built to be fast, found and easy to use

The same habits we used on this website go into yours. Websites are one of our digital services for small and growing businesses.

  • Mobile-first

    Designed for the phone first, then the desktop, so every visitor gets a site that is easy to read and use.

  • Built for speed

    Lean pages and optimized images, so the site loads quickly on any connection.

  • Search-friendly

    Clean structure, clear headings and page titles, so search engines understand what each page is about.

  • Proof you can check

    This website scores 100 in Lighthouse for accessibility, best practices and SEO.

How it works

How a website project works

  1. Step 1: Discovery call.

    You tell us about your business, your customers and what the site has to do: pages, features, platform.

  2. Step 2: Scope and quote.

    You get a written scope with the pages and features, and a quote for the project.

  3. Step 3: Design and build.

    You review the design first, then the working site, before anything goes live.

  4. Step 4: Launch and support.

    We launch, show you how to update it and, if you want, host it, look after it and market it.

Website Design & Development FAQs

Website Development

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the number of pages, the platform and the features you need. We quote each project after a short call, and a larger build can be split into stages so the most important pages go live first. See all our published prices.

Do you offer small business web design packages?

No. Websites are quoted per project, because no two sites are the same size. After a short call you get a written scope with the pages and features, and a quote for that scope. A larger build can be split into stages so the most important pages go live first.

WordPress, Shopify or custom code: which should I choose?

WordPress suits most service businesses that want to update their own pages and posts. Shopify suits businesses whose main job online is selling products. Custom code makes sense when you need a design, speed or features a theme can’t give you. We recommend one after hearing what the site has to do.

Should I use Wix or Squarespace instead?

For a five-page site whose main job is to look trustworthy and show your phone number, a builder like Wix or Squarespace is a fair choice, if a template fits and you have the time. Hire someone when the site has a job to do, like bringing in quote requests, selling products or ranking for competitive searches. Our guide compares builder plans with hiring it out.

How long does a website take?

That depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback come in. After the discovery call you get a timeline with each stage and what you will have at the end of it.

Can you redesign my current website?

Yes. Tell us what isn’t working with your current site, and we’ll quote a redesign or a rebuild on a better-suited platform.

Can you host and look after the site after launch?

Yes. We offer web hosting and SEO, and keep working on the site with you as your business changes.

Will my new website show up on Google?

Every site we build has a clean structure, clear headings and page titles, so search engines understand what each page is about. Ranking for competitive searches is ongoing work, and no one can honestly guarantee rankings. Our SEO plans start at $199 a month, and our local SEO checklist covers the basics for small businesses.

Do you build websites for trucking companies?

Yes, as one of the many kinds of business we work with. We also run a dispatch operation ourselves, so we know what brokers and shippers look for when they check a carrier online. See our trucking services.

Planning a new website or app?

Tell us what you need, from a WordPress site or Shopify store to a custom web or mobile app, and we’ll send you a quote.
