Website Design
Not every project is a shop. When you need a clear, fast website - WordPress, Publii, Hugo or Astro - we still build it. We just will not push a rebuild if a lighter fix, a static site, or improving what you already have is the better commercial answer.
WordPress
Custom WordPress sites that are easy for you to update, flexible in design, and set up with SEO-friendly structure, security and hosting guidance.
Fast static & modern sites
For brochure and content sites where speed and security matter, we recommend flat-file or static approaches (Publii, Hugo, Astro and similar). Ideal for many local businesses, charities and membership organisations. Why we recommend them covers editing, speed and the security reasons, including the recent PHP issues.
Ongoing support
Hosting guidance, backups, security updates, training and retainers so the site does not drift after launch.
How projects usually run
- Discovery meeting (needs now and ambitions later)
- Recommendations and clear quote
- Design direction, then build
- Content, testing, SEO foundations, launch and training
Most brochure sites take around 4-8 weeks depending on content and approvals. Ecommerce and custom systems are scoped separately - see Ecommerce and Digital Operations.
Website design FAQs
Which platforms do you use for brochure sites?
WordPress when you need flexible content management, or fast static stacks such as Publii, Hugo and Astro when speed and simplicity matter more.
Can you work on our Squarespace or Webflow site?
Those are not preferred for new builds, but we can make sensible amends and fixes when a full rebuild is not the right next step.
Will you push us to rebuild?
No. We discuss options first. A lighter fix or improving what you have is often enough; a rebuild only when it clearly pays off.
