Web Development
Websites and web applications that load fast, read clearly and stay maintainable.
We design, build, host and maintain websites and web applications: marketing sites, e-commerce storefronts, headless CMS builds and Next.js applications, on platforms you own and can hand to another team without a rewrite.
What you end up with
- A design system and page set you can read, edit and extend
- A production site with analytics, redirects and forms working end to end
- Documentation covering deployment, content editing, backups and rollback
- A measured report on speed and accessibility, and what still needs attention

How we think about it
Why web development projects fail
The technical detail that decides whether this work pays back, written for someone who has to sign off on it.
A page is judged before anyone reads it
Most of a visitor's first impression is formed before they read a sentence: how fast the page arrives, whether the layout settles or jumps, whether the text is legible on the phone in their hand. Design and performance are the same problem seen from two angles, which is why we treat Core Web Vitals as part of the build rather than a repair job after launch. We measure real visitor data, fix the causes of slowness and measure again, treating the numbers as targets we work toward rather than badges to display.
Pick the platform for how you will maintain it
The right platform is the one your team can still edit confidently two years after launch. WordPress suits content teams and sites that change often. Next.js suits marketing sites that need speed and custom behaviour, and applications that grow beyond pages. Shopify suits most retail catalogues, with custom work reserved for pricing and fulfilment models a theme cannot express. We recommend on that basis, including when the honest answer is a simpler platform than the one we were asked to build.
Ownership matters more than the launch date
A site is a long-lived asset, and launch is the start of its life rather than the end of it. Code lives in a repository in your account, infrastructure runs on accounts you control, and content sits in a CMS you can log into without us. Documentation covers deployment, editing, backups and rollback, so a future developer, or a different agency, can pick the work up without reverse-engineering it. Nothing is built so that only we can maintain it.
The unglamorous work is what keeps a site healthy
Rankings fade, dependencies age, third-party scripts change and forms break silently between checks. The difference between a site that holds up and one that quietly degrades is usually maintenance: a patched stack, monitored uptime, verified backups and someone who reviews the numbers monthly. We would rather maintain a working site than rebuild it every three years, and the maintenance work is priced and reported so you can see what it bought.
Questions
Before you book a call
Do you build on WordPress, Shopify or something custom?
All three, chosen per project. We recommend the platform that fits how you will maintain the site, and we will say when a simpler or cheaper option is the better answer rather than defaulting to a custom build because it is more billable.
Who owns the code and the content when the project ends?
You do, from the start. The repository, hosting accounts, domain and CMS are in your name, with us holding an administrator role. If you move to another team, everything transfers as it stands without a rebuild.
Can you work with the site we already have?
Yes. Many projects begin with an audit of an existing site, what ranks, what converts and what is slowing it down, before deciding whether to redesign, migrate or simply fix what is there.
