    The work

    What a custom website build covers

    Discovery and content foundation

    Audience, offer and existing content are reviewed so the site has a clear job before design begins.

    Information architecture

    Page structure, navigation and internal links are mapped so visitors and search engines can follow the same logic.

    Responsive design and build

    Layouts are designed for phone, tablet and desktop together rather than squeezed down afterwards.

    Forms and integrations

    Enquiry forms, booking tools, CRMs and email services are connected so leads arrive where you work.

    Search and AI foundations

    Metadata, structured data, clear headings and local business details help Google and AI answer tools understand the business.

    Accessibility, QA and care

    Keyboard, contrast and device checks before launch, then a handover and optional maintenance plan.

    Is this right for you

    A good fit when

    • You need layouts or functionality a template cannot handle
    • Several audiences or services need distinct journeys
    • Your site must connect to other tools

    Consider instead

    • A smaller site you want to edit yourself may suit Wix better. Wix websites
    • Selling products online is usually best on Shopify. Shopify stores
    Questions

    Asked before most projects.

    What's the difference between a custom build and using Wix?

    A custom build gives you complete control over every aspect of your website — design, functionality, and performance. There are no platform limitations, and the code is built specifically for your needs. Wix is great for many businesses, but when you need something truly unique or complex, custom is the way to go.

    How much does a custom website cost?

    Custom websites start from £3,000 for simpler projects and can go up from there depending on complexity. Things like user accounts, payment systems, APIs, and advanced functionality will affect the price. We'll always give you a clear quote upfront.

    How long does a custom build take?

    Most custom websites take 4-8 weeks depending on the scope. More complex projects with custom functionality, integrations, or large amounts of content may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline after our discovery call.

    What technologies do you use?

    We primarily use React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for frontend development, with various backend solutions depending on your needs. We choose the best tools for each project to ensure fast performance, great SEO, and easy maintenance.

    Can I update the website myself after it's built?

    It depends on the project! We can build in a content management system so you can update text, images, and blog posts yourself. For more complex changes, we offer ongoing support and maintenance packages.

    Do you provide hosting?

    We can advise on the best hosting solution for your project and help set everything up. Many of our custom builds are deployed on modern platforms that offer excellent performance and reliability at reasonable cost.
