Get started See pricing ## Who should skip this? - Projects that need to be live next week — proper discovery, design and build take weeks; we will not fake it faster. - Buyers who want the cheapest possible template — there are honest £50 themes for that; a bespoke build is the wrong tool. - Teams that cannot supply content or decisions — a site stalls without an empowered counterpart on your side. ## Why is your website the foundation? Every other channel points back to your website. If it's slow, generic, or invisible to search and AI, everything upstream leaks. We build the foundation properly: striking on the surface, engineered underneath — fast Core Web Vitals, schema from day one, and a structure both Google and AI engines can read. ## What's included in our web projects ### Discovery & Strategy Audience research, competitor analysis, and conversion-focused information architecture before a single design decision is made. ### UX & Visual Design Clean, modern design grounded in conversion principles and your brand identity — no templates, no page builder constraints. ### Performance Engineering Core Web Vitals optimisation, edge caching, and asset optimisation to achieve excellent Google Page Experience scores. ### Technical SEO Integration Schema markup, hreflang, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, and structured data baked into the build from day one. ### CMS & Content Management Intuitive content management so your team can update pages, add blog posts, and manage content without developer support. ### Post-Launch Support 30-day post-launch support period included in all packages, with optional ongoing maintenance retainers. ## Which specialist and platform options exist?

See the Starter Launch offer or enquire directly → ## What are the common questions about Frequently Asked Questions? **What is the web design project timeline?** Standard Brochure sites take 6–8 weeks. Business sites take 10–14 weeks. Enterprise projects are scoped individually. Timelines depend on content readiness and feedback turnaround. **What platforms do you build on?** We primarily build on Next.js/React, Astro, and WordPress (headless). We recommend the right technology for your scale, content needs, and team capabilities. **Do you provide hosting?** We recommend and can configure hosting on Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, or your preferred provider. We don't lock you into proprietary hosting. **What are your web design prices?** Brochure sites from £3,495. Business sites from £8,495. Ecommerce projects from £12,000. All projects include technical SEO integration. **How much does a website cost in the UK in 2026?** A professional business website built by a specialist agency costs between £3,495 and £12,000+, depending on complexity. Brochure sites (5–10 pages) from £3,495. Business sites with custom functionality from £8,495. Ecommerce stores from £12,000. Cheaper alternatives exist but sites under £2,000 typically underperform significantly on SEO, Core Web Vitals, and conversion — requiring costly rebuilds within 2–3 years. **What should every business website include?** Every business website needs: a clear value proposition on the homepage; detailed service or product pages with structured data markup; an About page with genuine team information for E-E-A-T; a Contact page; a Blog or Resources section for content marketing and AI citation; and a Privacy Policy. Technical foundations matter equally: fast load times (sub-2s LCP), mobile-first design, SSL, and clean crawlable URL structure. **Should I use WordPress or a custom website?** WordPress is the right choice for content-heavy sites needing flexible ongoing CMS management. Custom builds using Astro or Next.js are better for performance-critical or highly bespoke requirements. The right answer depends on who will manage the site day-to-day, how frequently content changes, and your performance and SEO requirements. We recommend the best-fit technology for each client after understanding their team and growth plans. **Do you build sector-specific websites?** Yes — we have dedicated specialisms, including websites for private healthcare. Sector experience means we already understand how your customers search and what builds their trust, so the site is engineered for the right outcomes from day one. Ready to start with Web Design?
