How we work
From first chat to launch, in four clear steps
No surprises: you know the price before we start, see the design before we build and own everything at the end.
- Fixed, written quote
- Design approved first
- You own everything
The process
What happens at every step
So you always know what we are doing, what we need from you and what you will have at the end of it.
Step 1
Talk it through
Tell us about your business and what you need. We ask questions, then send a fixed, written quote.
What we do
- Ask about your business, your customers and your goals
- Suggest what fits, even if that is a simple website
- Send a fixed, written quote listing what is included
What you do
- Tell us what you do and who you want to reach
- Share your budget and when you need it
You get: A clear quote, with the price fixed before any work starts.
Step 2
Plan and design
We plan the pages and design them for phones first, then show you the design before building.
What we do
- Plan the pages and what each one needs to say
- Design every page for phones first, then larger screens
- Show you the design and make your changes
What you do
- Share your logo, wording and examples you like
- Approve the design before we write any code
You get: A design you have approved before a line of code is written.
Step 3
Build and test
We hand-code the site, build in the search basics and test speed, accessibility and every form.
What we do
- Hand-code every page so it carries only the code it needs
- Build in titles, descriptions and structured data
- Test speed, accessibility, forms and links on real devices
What you do
- Review progress and answer our questions
- Check the content is right
You get: A tested site that is ready to go live.
Step 4
Launch and hand over
We put the site live, check it again and hand everything over, with guidance on looking after it.
What we do
- Launch the site on your domain and check it again live
- Hand over your code, domain and content
- Explain what hosting involves and what to look after
What you do
- Give the final go-ahead
- Keep the hosting, with our guidance
You get: Everything handed over to you, so you are never locked in.

How we build
Hand-coded, tested and search-ready
We build every site by hand, so each page carries only the code it needs and nothing slows it down.
- Designed for phones first, then scaled up to tablets and desktops
- Written in modern JavaScript, with no page builders or ready-made themes
- Technical and on-page SEO built in as we go, not added at the end
- Images optimised and fonts loaded efficiently
- Tested on real phone and desktop sizes before launch
Our standards
Accessible, fast and secure
These are checked on every build, so you do not have to ask for them.
- Accessible: keyboard use, readable colour contrast and clear form labels
- Fast: tested with Google Lighthouse before launch
- Secure: security headers set and forms protected from spam
- Private: no tracking cookies unless you ask for them and we agree how they are used
Fair prices
Why our prices stay affordable
We value our clients' money. We price each project to fit it, from simple apps to complex ones, and keep the work optimal: only what you need, built efficiently.
- No page-builder or theme licences to pass on
- Our own tested building blocks, so we do not start from scratch each time
- A clear plan before we build, so there is less rework
- A fixed, written quote with no hidden extras
What you own
Your website is yours
When the project is paid for, you own the website code, your domain name and all of your content. We hand everything over at launch, so you are never locked in.
After launch
Launched, handed over and explained
We do not host or maintain your site, so you stay in control. We explain what hosting involves and what to look after, and if you want something changed later, get in touch and we will quote for it.
FAQ
Questions about working with us
01How do you keep your prices affordable for small businesses?
We value our clients' money, so we price every project to fit it, from simple apps to complex ones, and keep the work optimal: only what you need, built efficiently. We hand-code every site, so there are no page-builder or theme licences to pass on, and we build on our own tested building blocks instead of starting from scratch each time. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what fits it.
02Will I own my website, my domain and my content?
Yes. When the project is paid for, you own the website code, your domain name and all of your content. We hand everything over at launch, so you are never locked in.
03Do you host the site after launch?
No. We build and launch the site, then hand it over to you. You keep the hosting, and we explain what that involves and what it costs so there are no surprises. If you need something changed later, get in touch and we will quote for it.
