What we build

Everything runs on the same modern stack, kept lean so it stays fast and cheap to run.

Business websites

A clear, fast site that explains what you do and makes it easy to get in touch — built to load in under a second.

Online stores

Straightforward e-commerce with real checkout, stock, and order handling — no bloated plugin stack to maintain.

Search & performance

Pages structured to be found and to load fast on any connection, with clean, semantic markup search engines — and AI search tools — can actually read.

Ongoing support

Content updates, small changes, and monitoring after launch — a direct line to the person who built it.

Featured projects

Two recent builds — one live and launched, one a concept made to show what's possible. See all concept sites →

SDN Laser Studio — a full site and booking presence, from nothing

SDN Laser Studio had no website at all. We designed and built one from scratch — clear service pages, an enquiry form, and social links — then handled the domain and hosting so it could go live without any technical setup on their end.

A trust-first site for Ferrari Groundworks Ltd

Built as a concept for a Dorset groundworks, landscaping and agricultural contractor — designed around what a homeowner or farm client checks before calling: past work, coverage area, and a fast free-quote path. View the concept site →

03 — Why it's built this way

Small enough to care about every line of code.

No page-builder bloat, no fifteen-plugin stack slowing the site down years later. Every build is checked for performance and accessibility before it goes live — not left as an afterthought.

04 — Process

How a project runs

Four stages, in this order, every time. Nothing gets built before it's been agreed.

01

Discovery

A call to understand the business, the audience, and what the site actually needs to do — before any design work starts.

02

Design

A working page layout you can react to early, refined until the structure and content are right.

03

Build

The full site is built and tested across devices, with performance and accessibility checked before launch, not after.

04

Launch & support

The site goes live on a fast, reliable host, with a plan in place for updates and questions afterwards.

05 — Get a rough idea

How much does a website cost?+
Guide price starts around £350–£550 for a starter site — that's a starting range based on similar projects, not a fixed quote. The exact price depends on the details, confirmed for free before anything starts.
How long does a project take?+
Most sites go from discovery to launch in 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and how quickly content comes together.
Do you handle hosting and the domain?+
Yes — hosting and domain setup can be handled end to end, so the site goes live without any technical setup on your end.
I already have a website — can you refresh it instead?+
Yes. A refresh keeps what's working (real copy, existing content) and rebuilds the parts that are dated or slow.
Who owns the site once it's live?+
You do — the domain, hosting account, and code are yours, with no lock-in to keep working together.
Do you offer support after launch?+
Yes — ongoing maintenance, hosting, and Google visibility care are all available as add-ons, billed simply, cancel any time.
