Web design and website development
A web design studio for websites that bring in work.
We design and build fast, easy-to-edit websites for independent businesses. Fixed prices agreed up front, and a real person to call when you need a change.
Recent work.
A few of the websites we have designed and built, and what changed for the businesses behind them.
CM Earthworks & Civil Engineering
We were asked to design an "in your face" website that would appeal to the construction industry and would convert to sales enquiries.
Container Trades Statistics
The brief was to create a vibrant website with high performing SEO. It is served up on page 1 of Google & Bing for their "niche" marketplace.
Your local web design partner, built to a high standard.
We are a small studio, so you work with the people who design and build your site from the first call to launch day. Every website starts with your customers and what you need them to do, then we design the pages around that.
Sites are built in WordPress so you can update text, photos and pages yourself, and we stay on hand for anything bigger.
Included with every website
- Designed around your content, not a template
- Built in WordPress so you can edit it yourself
- Works on phones, tablets and desktops
- Search-ready structure and page titles from day one
- Contact forms that land in your inbox
- Hosting, backups and updates available
