Website Design
Websites that explain what you do and make it easy for customers to get in touch. They load quickly, work on phones and with screen readers, and are straightforward to maintain.

We have worked with hundreds of customers, among them National Grid, Cadent, Veolia, the NHS and North Warwickshire Borough Council. See our Portfolio and case studies.
The right kind of website for your business
We start by agreeing what your website needs to do, then build to that brief. See client websites in our Portfolio.
- A first website
- A small, well-organised site that explains your services, where you work and how to contact you. Five pages is often enough. Complete websites start from £499.
- A redesign
- For a site that is slow or difficult to update, or that no longer reflects the business. We keep what works, including the page addresses search engines already know, and redirect any addresses that change.
- A larger website
- More services, pages or audiences, with navigation and page templates designed to grow without becoming cluttered.
- A website that works with your systems
- Booking requests, a customer area or an enquiry process connected to your other systems, built with Bespoke Software.
- An online shop
- Product pages, a basket and online payments, built as one of our Online Shops.
Cost, changes and ownership
What a website costs
Complete websites start from £499. That covers five pages, basic content writing, a contact form and hosting for the first year. No VAT is added. We confirm the price in writing from the agreed brief before work starts.
The cost depends mainly on the number of distinct page types, how much content we write or edit, any forms or customer areas connected to other systems, and whether content needs to be moved from an existing site. Hosting after the first year, the domain and email are ongoing costs, set out separately.
Making changes after launch
We make most changes for you on request, such as new pages, updated prices or new photographs, and check each one before publishing it. Before launch, we agree how quickly changes are made and whether they are included in a monthly arrangement or charged separately.
Ownership
A website you buy outright is yours, including its code and content, and you can move it to another supplier. We confirm in writing who holds the domain name and hosting account, and recommend registering your domain in your business’s own name.
Included in every website
- A page plan based on the questions your customers ask
- Layouts that work on phones, tablets and desktops
- Accessibility designed in from the start, with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) in mind
- Lean pages with no unnecessary plugins or scripts, so that they load quickly
- Page titles, search result descriptions, readable page addresses and redirects from any old site, the groundwork for SEO
For a website you already have, or one your business relies on, we also offer Legal and Accessibility Checks.
Why we build new websites without WordPress
WordPress suits organisations that publish often and want to edit everything themselves. For most of the businesses we work with, the priorities are different: a website that loads quickly, stays secure with little maintenance and does a few things well.
We therefore build new websites directly, without a WordPress theme or plugins underneath. With fewer components, each website needs fewer updates. If you would like to edit your own pages regularly, say so at the start, and we will recommend the approach that suits you, including WordPress where it is the better fit.
We built WordPress websites from 2018. We still look after them, and WordPress websites built by other suppliers, through WordPress Support. When a WordPress website needs a feature no existing plugin offers, we build one through WordPress Development.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a website take?
It depends mainly on how quickly the content comes together. Once the brief is agreed, we give you a timeline for your project.
Do you write the content?
We can. If you send notes, we turn them into page copy for your approval.
Will my website rank on Google?
We build every website so that search engines can find and understand it. No one can guarantee rankings, because they depend on competition, content and reputation as well as the website itself. If you want to go further than the groundwork, we also offer SEO.
Do you work with businesses outside Warwickshire?
Yes. We are based in Atherstone, Warwickshire, and build and support websites remotely for clients anywhere in the UK. See Areas We Cover.
Can we see websites you have built?
Yes. Our Portfolio shows client websites and three case studies, including the websites and online booking system we built for Hotbox Oven Cleaning.
