Web design
Built round your brand, not dropped into a template.
01/Cover2026
Design opinionated for
UK client work.
We have opinions about what a site owes the person using it. It should load fast, be findable, and work for everyone. Web design, SEO and content, to that standard every time.
02/What we do2026
Design. Build. Words. Rankings.
Whatever the brief asks for.
Six things we do. What your site actually needs is agreed in writing before we start.
Built fast
Our own build pipeline. You are not waiting months to see a first version.
Words in your voice
We profile how your business actually talks, then write the pages to match.
Every device
Phone, tablet, laptop. Checked on real screens, not assumed.
SEO
Technical, on-page and local.
Google Business Profile
Your listing, your reviews, your spot on the local map.
03/Work2026
Three builds.
And everything around them.
The brochure, the cards, the review QR, the email signature. The parts that decide whether a brand holds together once it leaves the screen.
04/Compliance2026
Compliance is design.
Not a footnote.
Most of what the law asks for has to be settled while a site is being designed, not bolted on the week before it launches. These are the regimes that apply to UK sites. Which of them apply to yours depends on what the site does.
Every site
WCAG 2.2 AA, by design
Contrast, focus order and keyboard use are settled in the layout rather than audited in at the end. Retro-fitting accessibility costs more and works worse.
Every limited company
Your company details, on the site
Registered name, number, place of registration and registered office. A Companies Act requirement, one of the most commonly missed, and in the footer of every build we ship.
Anything that measures visitors
Cookies need a yes before they load
Under PECR, analytics cannot run until somebody agrees, and refusing has to be as easy as accepting. We wire it so nothing fires until it is allowed.
Every site with a form
We do not store what people send
Enquiries go straight to your inbox rather than into a database. Less to secure, less to lose, and a privacy notice that stays short because there is genuinely less to say.
05/Working with us2026
You brief it.
We do the rest.
Most of the friction in a website is not the build. It is the waiting, the worrying, and being asked to write the thing yourself.
Changes
Ask for an edit, get an edit
Ring or email with what needs changing. Small page edits are done and live, not logged as a ticket and scheduled into a sprint you never agreed to.
Security
Less on the site, less to attack
No admin login to brute force, no plugins quietly going out of date, and no database holding customer details unless the site genuinely needs one. Most sites are breached through something that did not need to be there.
Words
You do not have to write it
Send a few notes, a rough idea, or a voice message. We turn it into the page, blog posts included, and nothing goes live until you have read it back.
06/First steps2026
Fifteen minutes,
and you do the talking.
Nobody should have to guess what engaging an agency involves, or wait a fortnight to find out what it costs.
A short call, and you do the talking
Google Meet or Teams, whichever you already have open. We record it, with your agreement, so nothing you say has to be repeated or written down twice. No pitch, no slides. You tell us what the business needs and what has been getting in the way.
We come back with a package, a price and a date
Not a range and not an estimate you have to chase. What we would build, what it costs, and when it would be finished. If something in it does not make sense for you, that is the meeting to say so.
You decide, with everything in front of you
No obligation and nothing to sign in the room. If it is a yes, we start. If it is not, you keep the recording and the proposal and you have lost an afternoon rather than a month.
07/Questions2026
The questions
people actually ask.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the site has to do, so we quote after the first call rather than putting a number on a page that cannot know anything about you. The price is agreed in writing before any work starts, and it does not move unless you ask for something new.
How long does it take?
That depends on scope as well, and you get a timeline alongside the quote. We would rather give you a date we can hold than a number that reads well on a website.
Do I have to write the content?
No. Most people send a few notes, or just talk it through with us. We profile how your business actually talks before writing anything, so the pages sound like you rather than like an agency, and nothing goes live until you have read it back.
Can I edit the site myself?
Our sites are built by hand rather than assembled in a page builder, so by default changes come to us and small edits are done quickly. If editing pages yourself matters to you, say so at the first call and we will build that in from the start.
Do you only work with businesses near you?
No. The studio is in Henlow in Bedfordshire and we work across the UK. Being local matters for your customers finding you in search, which is a thing we do. It does not matter for building the site.
What happens after it launches?
There is no plugin stack to keep patched and no admin login to secure, so there is no monthly bill for holding software together. What people actually want afterwards is changes, and those you ask for and we make.
