Website development for business
Your website is usually the first thing a customer sees of the company. We build sites that load fast, look right on a phone, and that people can find their way around.
What this is about
A website is not finished when it looks good. It is finished when it loads fast, can be read on a phone in sunlight, gets found in search, and makes it obvious what the visitor should do next.
We build both simple company sites and sites with more under the bonnet: members areas behind a login, events, publications and newsletters. The content should be something you can update, not something you have to ask us about.
We build in WordPress when you want a familiar tool for updating the content, and write our own WordPress plugins when the site needs something no ready-made extension does.
- Loads fastEvery second costs you visitors
- Readable on a phoneWhere most of the traffic comes from
- Possible to findStructure and page titles in place from the start
- A clear next stepThe visitor is in no doubt about what to do next
Does any of this sound familiar?
If the answer is yes to one of the points below, there is usually something to gain.
- 01
The site looks wrong on a phone
Most of the traffic comes from a phone. If the site looks dated there, the company looks dated.
- 02
Nobody finds you in search
Structure, page titles and speed decide more than most people think, and most of it can be fixed.
- 03
You have to ask somebody to change a sentence
Content that needs a developer never gets updated. That is why last year's news is still on the front page.
- 04
The site is slow
Every second of load time costs visitors, and speed is something Google measures directly.
What you get
We always start with a review that costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You are free to say no afterwards.
- Design and development, not a template with your logo on it
- Built for search from the start: structure, page titles and a sitemap
- Content you can change yourself
- Accessibility to WCAG
- Source code and documentation. You own all of it
What that has looked like

Questions about websites
01
What does a company website cost?
It depends on what the site has to do. A company site with a few pages is a very different job from one with a login, a members area and events. We agree the scope first and give an estimate before we start.
02
How long does it take to build a website?
The scope decides. You get an estimate of the time along with the price, and you see the site as it takes shape rather than only at launch.
03
Can we update the content ourselves?
Yes. Text, images and news should be yours to change without asking us. Content that needs a developer rarely gets updated, and then the site goes stale quickly.
04
Do you build websites in WordPress?
Yes. WordPress gives you a familiar tool for changing text, images and news yourselves. If the site needs something no ready-made extension covers, such as data fetched automatically from another system, we write a plugin of our own for it.
05
Will the website show up in Google?
It is built for that from the start: fast loading, a clear structure, good page titles and a sitemap. Nobody can promise a ranking, but a site that is built right stands far stronger than one that is not.
Shall we look at what takes time where you are?
Tell us briefly how you work today, and we will say honestly whether it is something we can solve. Including when the answer is no.
