WordPress or static, whichever suits the job.

We build on WordPress when you want to manage the site yourself, and as a static site when speed matters most. Either way it loads quickly, ranks properly and copes on the day your campaign goes out.

Talk about a build

Built around how you work

We don't add features for the sake of it. We build around the way your business runs.

That might be a custom web application, an API integration or connecting the platforms you already use. Whatever it is, we keep the code clean and the setup easy to look after as you grow.

Speed, security and ease of maintenance are planned in from the start rather than bolted on later.

Clean code

Well structured and easy to maintain as you grow.

Fast by default

Builds kept lean so pages load quickly.

Secure from the start

Security planned in from day one rather than patched on afterwards.

How the work runs

3 stages, brief to launch.

01

Requirements and planning

Every build starts with a clear plan.

We agree the requirements, how the data is structured, what needs to connect to what and how people will use it, all before any code is written. Rushing this stage is how fragile systems get built.

02

Build and testing

We build in stages and review as we go.

You'll see progress throughout the project, and testing happens as we build rather than all at the end.

03

Launch and support

Launch is handled carefully, with performance checks and monitoring in place.

After launch we're on hand for updates, improvements and technical support, so what we build keeps working.

Where it has worked.

Straight answers

The questions people ask us.

We build websites on WordPress or as static sites, and use tools such as Next.js, React, Node.js and TypeScript for custom applications.

We don't push one approach on every project. We choose based on what the site needs to do, how you'll manage it and where it's heading.

The aim is technology that will stay stable and easy to maintain for years.

Yes. On a WordPress site you can update pages, posts and images yourself through the normal editor.

For custom applications we build a clear admin area or connect a suitable CMS, so you can update information without touching code.

You'll get a walkthrough at launch, and ongoing support if you'd like it.

Security is considered from the planning stage.

We follow secure coding standards, restrict access by role where needed, use encrypted connections and keep the attack surface as small as we can.

It's part of how the system is designed rather than something added at the end.

Got a brief, a problem,
or a hunch?

Send it over. You will get straight thinking, a ballpark and a clear next step, not a sixteen-page proposal.
