Custom websites
Custom website development
Marketing sites and landing pages designed and coded from scratch around what your business actually needs to communicate - not fitted into a theme someone else designed for a different company.
Problems this solves
- The current site looks like every other site in the sector, because it started from the same purchased template.
- Adding a section means fighting a page builder, and the layout breaks on a screen size nobody tested.
- The site loads slowly, and the cause is a theme plus a stack of plugins that each load on every page.
- Content is locked in a structure that cannot express what you actually sell.
- Search engines index the pages but the titles, headings and internal links were never designed for anything.
Who it is for
Businesses that have outgrown templates and want a site that looks distinct, loads fast and matches how they actually work - from a single high-intent landing page to a full multi-page site with a content model behind it.
What is included
Design from scratch
A custom layout and visual language built for your brand and audience, not a theme with your logo dropped into it.
Hand-written front end
React and TypeScript, server-rendered to real HTML, so pages arrive complete rather than assembling themselves after the fact.
Responsive to real breakpoints
Layouts designed for the sizes your visitors actually use, tested on real devices rather than a browser resize.
Content editing where you need it
An optional headless CMS for the pages that genuinely change, so your team edits copy without touching code and without a page builder loose in the layout.
What you receive
- A designed, coded and deployed website on your domain
- Server-rendered HTML for every page, with unique title, description and one H1
- Canonical URLs, hreflang if the site is multilingual, XML sitemap and robots.txt
- Structured data appropriate to the page types
- Responsive images and video with explicit dimensions, so nothing shifts as the page loads
- Accessible forms with labels, validation messages and keyboard support
- A short written handover covering how to deploy, edit and extend the site
How we work
- 01
Discover
Goals, audience, content inventory and constraints, before anything is designed.
- 02
Design
Key pages and a visual system, prototyped and reviewed with you.
- 03
Build
Production code shipped in reviewable increments on a staging URL.
- 04
Launch
Performance, accessibility and technical SEO passes, then deployment and handover.
Performance, accessibility and search
Loads without waiting for JavaScript
Pages are rendered to HTML at build time. The text and links are in the source, so the first paint does not depend on a bundle downloading and hydrating.
No avoidable layout shift
Images and video carry explicit dimensions or aspect ratios, and fonts are loaded so that swapping them does not reflow the page.
Usable by keyboard and screen reader
Semantic landmarks, a logical heading order, visible focus states, labelled form fields and honoured reduced-motion preferences.

Cost and timeline
We do not publish fixed prices or delivery times, because scope changes both by an order of magnitude. You get both in writing, specific to your project, before any commitment.
What drives the price
- Number of genuinely distinct page templates, not the number of pages
- How much of the design is bespoke versus reused across the site
- Whether content and imagery exist, or need to be structured and produced
- Whether editors need a CMS, and how much of the site it has to cover
- Integrations with systems you already run
- Whether the site is single or multilingual
What drives the timeline
- How quickly design feedback comes back - usually the biggest variable
- Whether final copy is ready or written during the build
- The number of distinct templates to design and build
- Third-party dependencies you do not control, such as a payment or CRM account
- Domain, hosting and DNS access being available before launch week

Frequently asked questions
No. We design and code custom front ends, and add a headless CMS when you need to edit content. If your requirements genuinely suit WordPress and a custom build would just cost you more for the same result, we say so.
Yes, if you want that. We connect a headless CMS to the pages that genuinely change. The difference from a page builder is that editors change content, not layout, so the design cannot be broken by an edit.
Technical SEO is, and it is not an add-on: server-rendered HTML, heading structure, canonical and hreflang, sitemap, structured data and internal linking are part of the build. Keyword strategy and content writing are separate work.
Small changes are covered by a maintenance arrangement if you want one. Larger additions are scoped as their own piece of work. Either way you own the code, so you are not locked to us.
