Development & CMS
Fast, well-built sites you can update yourself — no developer on call required.
Development is where the design becomes a real thing people can use. We take the bespoke design we’ve agreed on and build it into a proper website — one that loads fast, works on every device, and gives you a simple way to keep the content up to date yourself.
The CMS part matters more than people expect. Owning your own site means being able to change your opening hours, update a price or add a new service page without emailing anyone. It’s your business: you should be able to speak for it directly.
We build to a standard that holds up over time — not just for launch day, but for the years after it.
What's included
A CMS you can actually use
You get a straightforward editing interface so you can update text, swap images and add new pages yourself. No tech knowledge needed, no waiting on a developer.
Fast, lightweight pages
Bloated page builders are off the table. We build sites that load quickly — which matters for both your visitors and your Google ranking.
Secure and maintained
We keep things up to date so you're not running on stale software with known vulnerabilities — and we offer ongoing maintenance retainers if you'd rather not think about it at all.
Built to standards
Proper semantic HTML, clean code, and a structure search engines can actually read. It's a sound foundation for everything else — SEO, accessibility, speed.
Integrations that fit your business
Contact forms, enquiry tracking, booking, e-commerce — if your business needs the site connected to something, we'll build it in. Just ask.
How it works
- 01
Build
We take the approved design and turn it into a working site on the CMS, following the structure and content we've planned together.
- 02
Test
We check it across devices and browsers, run through the forms and any integrations, and fix anything that isn't right before you see it.
- 03
Launch
Once you're happy, we move the site to your live domain, set up redirects from any old URLs, and make sure nothing breaks in the process.
- 04
Handover & support
We walk you through the CMS so you can manage your own content from day one — or hand the upkeep to us on a maintenance retainer and forget about it.
Frequently asked questions
Which CMS do you build on?
We work with all the major content management systems and Shopify, as well as custom CMS builds. We can talk through the options and what suits your project best.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes — that's the whole point. Most sites are built with a CMS that lets you update text, images and pages through a browser, without touching any code.
Will my site be fast?
Yes. We don't use heavy page-builder themes or unnecessary plugins. Clean code and well-optimised assets mean quick load times, which also helps with Google.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes — we offer ongoing maintenance retainers to keep your site secure and up to date. Get in touch and we'll scope a plan that fits how hands-on you want to be.
Can you work with my existing site?
Yes, happily — we take on existing sites for rebuilds and ongoing work. Get in touch and we can have a look together.
What about e-commerce?
Yes — we build e-commerce on all the major platforms, including Shopify and WooCommerce. Happy to discuss what's involved for your products.
