Website design and development that brings in enquiries

What a website price includes

Every website gets a fixed quote in writing, listing the pages, the features and the design rounds included. Every quote covers:

• designs in your own branding before you commit;
• the build, tested on real phones and browsers;
• your content, written by us or moved from your old site;
• accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, so the site works with a keyboard, a screen reader and one thumb;
• clean HTML, structured data, a sitemap and the metadata that search engines and AI tools read;
• a redirect for every old address, if you’re replacing a site;
• analytics and Search Console set up, so you can see which pages bring enquiries;
• a walkthrough and documentation at handover.

You own the website: the code, the design files, the content and the domain. We host it on AWS, in your account or ours, and you can take it to another developer whenever you like.

Redesigning the site you have

Sometimes the content is fine and the design is tired. Sometimes the business has changed. If your content still works, we give it a new design and structure. If the site is old and slow underneath, starting again is often quicker and cheaper, and we move across what’s worth keeping.

To protect the search history your site has built up, we map every old address to its new page, set up permanent (301) redirects on the server and submit the new sitemap. Rankings can still move for a few weeks or more, as Google’s site-move guide says to expect, so we watch Search Console until they settle.

Landing pages and scorecards

You’re paying to bring people to your website, so give them one clear thing to do when they arrive. A good landing page matches what the ad or email promised, shows real proof, and has one button and a short form that works on a phone. We track what it brings in, test changes against each other and keep the ones that work.

A scorecard asks visitors a few questions and gives them a result written for them, such as a 12-question operating scorecard. They get something useful straight away, and you get an enquiry that already tells you what they need. We build them on a template we’ve used for several brands.

Speed you can check

Sites slow down over time: more pages, bigger images, another plugin. We find what’s slowing yours down and fix it one change at a time, testing after each. If a rebuild would be better value, we’ll tell you.

You get the Lighthouse report from before and after. But Google judges speed on real visitors, not on a lab score. So 28 days after the changes go live, we also check your real visitors’ Core Web Vitals in Search Console, where there’s enough traffic for Google to report them. Good scores help, but they don’t guarantee top rankings.
