Services / Website design and development

Website design and development.

We design and build business websites and Shopify ecommerce sites. That includes the pages customers read, the tools your team uses to update them, and connections to your CRM, accounting or order systems.
Start a conversationExplore the scope

A new website, or a better version of the one you have.

You might need to explain a complex service, sell products online or replace a site that is difficult to update. We work through what visitors need to know and what your team needs to manage, then plan the content, design and development together.

Problems this work can address

  • Visitors cannot quickly tell what you sell or who it is for.
  • Updating products or service pages means asking a developer.
  • Enquiries and online orders have to be copied into other systems.
  • Your mobile site is difficult to use, or an old rebuild has left broken links.

Scope

What we can build with you.

We establish which parts are useful for your business and what your existing tools can already do before agreeing the build.

  • Business and service websites

    Pages that explain your services, show relevant work and make it easy to enquire. We agree the page structure and content with you before development.

  • Shopify ecommerce sites

    Product catalogues, navigation, product pages and ordering journeys. We check requirements such as trade accounts, payment methods and delivery rules when choosing the setup.

  • Content your team can manage

    A content management system for the pages, images, products and documents you need to update. You get training and written instructions.

  • Connections to existing systems

    Forms can create CRM records; orders can pass to accounting or fulfilment tools. We confirm what each system supports before agreeing the integration.

  • Technical SEO and launch checks

    Descriptive page titles, crawlable navigation, canonical URLs, sitemaps and redirects from replaced pages. We also check mobile usability, accessibility and loading performance.

  • Measurement and handover

    Enquiry and purchase tracking where appropriate, tested forms, and access to the website code and accounts. Hosting, maintenance and support responsibilities are agreed before launch.

In practice · Recruitment agency

A website connected to the recruitment business.

The recruitment project combined a website and enquiry journey with CRM migration, automation and internal applications. The case study explains the work across those systems.

Read the case study

Content and design first. Development, testing and launch next.

You review the page structure and designs before we build. We agree who supplies copy, photography and product data, so the schedule reflects the work on both sides.

  1. Scope

    Review the content, search setup and required integrations.

    Your involvement: Share the current site, audiences and business goals.

    Page plan, requirements and quote

  2. Build

    Design and develop the site, CMS and agreed connections.

    Your involvement: Review designs and approve the content.

    Launch checklist and team training

  4. Launch

    Launch, check tracking and hand over access and documentation.

    Your involvement: Approve release and nominate the site owner.

    Live site and agreed support

After launch

We agree launch aftercare, handover and any ongoing maintenance or development with you. Your organisation retains access to its code, accounts and documentation.

Support and ongoing development

Planning the work.

Start with your website and what it needs to do.

Send the current URL or a brief for a new site. Tell us who the customers are, what they should be able to do and which systems the site needs to connect to. We can then discuss scope, content and budget.
How much does a business website cost?

The main factors are the number and type of pages, content work, ecommerce requirements and integrations. We agree a written scope and price before the build, with hosting, software subscriptions and ongoing support identified separately.

Can you connect Shopify to Sage or a CRM?

We scope Shopify integrations with systems such as Sage and CRMs. The approach depends on the product version, available connections and the records that need to pass between them. We confirm those details before committing to a solution.

Can we keep our existing website address and search visibility?

We can rebuild on your existing domain. We review the old URLs, preserve useful pages and plan redirects where addresses change. Titles, content and internal links are checked as part of the migration; rankings can still change after a rebuild.

Does the build include ongoing SEO?

The build covers the agreed technical and content foundations. Continuing search research, publishing and performance reviews are separate work. We can scope that with you; a new website alone does not guarantee more search traffic.

How can we help you work better?

You don’t need a brief or a solution in mind. Tell us what’s proving difficult or what you’d like to improve. We’ll explore the options together and agree where to start.
