WordPress Logotype Alternative WhiteWe design and build beautiful, feature-rich WordPress websites, tailored to your brand to enhance your online presence.  As standard, our sites are optimised for desktop and mobile viewing, secured and performance tuned to a professional grade. Whether you’re looking to showcase your services, present a portfolio, sell your products online, or use your site to reach a wider audience, we offer a range of design, hosting and web intelligence services to suit your needs. From minor tweaks & cosmetic face lifts, to brand new sites from the ground up.

Our philosophy observes a healthy balance of performance and presentation, ensuring your site not only looks great but works properly too. The work we do at the back end is just as important as what your visitors see.

Page load times and security are as important to us as getting the colours right and your message across.

HOW IT WORKS

Whether you have a new website project in mind, or an old site that needs a revamp, get in touch to see how we can take your ideas and turn them into an online reality.

We’ll ask some questions about what you’re after and provide you with a fixed price quotation and a structured payment plan.

We’ll split your project into four distinct stages, Planning, Design, Build and Deploy. You’ll be kept in the loop throughout the project and it’ll be made clear what we need from you, and when.

What do we need from you?

At the start of the project we’ll work out what’s needed, in general this will consist of:

– Your existing brand assets and usage guidelines (if applicable). We can create these for you if you don’t already have them

– Signing off the planning and design materials we provide to you (key dates, site structure, style guide, mock ups, and so on)

– Provide written copy and images you want to use on the site, or we can create them for you

– Review and sign off on the finished site ahead of the agreed launch date

What’s it going to cost?

Fees for the design and development of your site are entirely dependent on your needs and the size of the project, each project is unique.

We base our costs on an estimate of the time it’ll take to complete, including design, meetings, development and testing.

Please get in touch to receive a detailed, no obligation quote.

How long will it take?

This greatly depends on the size and complexity of the project, and the availability of contributing content.

A simple, small brochure site usually takes 3 – 6 weeks, larger e-commerce sites can take significantly longer, especially if products need cataloguing.

If you have a logo and written descriptions of your services, we can turn projects around quickly. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll help plan the project to include all the activities required to deliver your new site.

What happens afterwards?

Once your site’s ready to launch, it’ll need a host to call home. We’ll install it on a host of your choice or we’ll invite you to host with us on one of our CloudWP plans and let us take the load off running your site.

We provide 30 days free post-launch support and a 12 month warranty on our work*.

Follow up work, including support, content and feature changes can be ordered from us at any time, at a preferential hourly rate if you signup for one of our CloudWP packages.

* Terms and conditions apply, see T&C’s

Tweak and tune

Sometimes, you’re too busy concentrating on running your own business to spend time editing your website.

We offer a complete editing service, covering everything from minor content changes to addition of features such as ecommerce functionality, newsletter signups and much more.

Facelifts for existing websites

Already running a WordPress site and looking for a refresh?

We can make tired WordPress sites look brand new with custom styling and application of our security and performance enhancements, retaining all your posts and products.

Send us some examples of how you’d like your site to look.  We can replicate most good themes and customise them to your branding, built with your own content.

If you’re looking for something a bit more tailored to your business and brand, we can bring a full development programme to the table to include branding and creative design.
