Websites
WordPress sites built quickly, checked properly
From simple brochure sites to listings and small shops, we build on WordPress, work on staging so you can see it before anyone else does, and hand over a site that is quick on a phone. New builds start on Host Care for their first three months; Host Business applies when quoted separately.
What we build
Sites that have a job to do
Most of our work is for businesses that need the website to bring in enquiries, take bookings or sell a modest range of products. We are not interested in building something award-shaped that nobody can update.
Brochure and service sites
Clear pages for each service, sensible contact routes, and copy that answers what people actually ask before they ring you.
Listings and directories
Property, rooms, vehicles, members. Structured content with filters and search that still loads quickly when the list gets long.
Small shops
WooCommerce for a manageable range of products, set up so you can add stock yourself without breaking the layout.
How a build runs
Staging first, always
Nothing goes live until you have clicked around it yourself. Your site is built on a staging URL on our hosting, so there is no half-finished website sitting where your customers can find it.
01
Scope and structure
We agree what the site needs to do, what pages earn their place, and what content you already have. Usually the shortest and most useful conversation of the project.
02
Design in the browser
We build in WordPress with Oxygen Builder rather than selling you a flat picture of a website. You see the real thing on real devices, early.
03
Content and checks
Copy in place, forms tested, speed checked on a phone, redirects planned if we are replacing an existing site.
04
Go live and hand over
We switch it over, watch it for a few days, and show you how to edit the bits you will want to change yourself.
Recent builds
Live sites you can go and poke at
Every name here is a site we built and, in most cases, still look after. Click one and have a look.
After launch
A new site is the start of the job, not the end
Sites go stale when nobody updates them and nobody watches the alerts. Every build we hand over starts on Host Care for its first three months; Host Business applies when quoted separately. Updates, backups, monitoring and small changes are covered from day one, and the staging site stays available so the next round of changes can be tried before customers see them.
Smaller pieces of work
Project blocks
On request
If you have a run of changes rather than one job, half-day and day blocks are available on request. Send us the list and we will quote it before we start. Anything ongoing is better handled by Host Care or Host Business.
Questions
The practical bits
How long does a site take?
A straightforward brochure site is usually a few weeks. What slows projects down is almost always content, so if you have the copy and photos ready, we can move quickly.
What does it cost?
Projects are quoted on scope, because a five page service site and a listings platform are not the same job. We will give you a fixed price before we start, not an hourly guess.
Can we edit it ourselves?
Yes, and we show you how at handover. If you would rather not, small changes are included in Host Care and Host Business anyway.
What happens to our rankings?
We map the old URLs to the new ones and put redirects in place before launch, so the search visibility you have built up comes with you.
Got a site in mind?
Tell us what the site needs to do and what you have already. We will come back with an approach, a timescale and a price.
