Custom Website Design & Development.
From local business directories to online shops and immersive 3D experiences, we design and build fast, accessible websites that look the part, rank in search and do real work for your business.
01Business Listing Websites
Directory Websites That Get Found
Listings, Search & Maps, Built To Scale
A business directory website lives or dies on search: people arriving from Google looking for a service near them, and landing on a fast page with exactly the listings they need. We build custom directory and listing websites designed for that from the ground up.
Visitors can search by keyword, category and location, browse an interactive map and filter by the details that matter in your niche — opening hours, price, reviews, accessibility and more. Businesses can claim and manage their own listings, with paid plans and featured placements if you want to monetise.
Every listing, category and location gets its own clean, indexable page with structured data, so the site can rank for thousands of long-tail local searches rather than a handful of head terms.

02eCommerce Websites
Online Stores That Sell
Fast Pages, Simple Checkout, Easy To Run
Every extra second and every extra form field costs sales. We design and build eCommerce websites that load fast, make products easy to find and get customers through checkout with as little friction as possible.
Depending on what you sell and how you work, that might be WooCommerce on WordPress or a custom headless store built with Next.js — with product variants, subscriptions, digital downloads, trade pricing or multi-currency handled properly.
Behind the shop window you get the tools to run it: stock and order management, abandoned-basket emails, discount codes, and integrations with your payment provider, accounting, shipping and marketing platforms.

033D Websites
Websites In Three Dimensions
Interactive, Immersive — And Still Fast
A 3D website turns a page into an experience: a product you can spin, a space you can walk through, or a story that unfolds as you scroll. This page is one — the lab around you is being rendered live in your browser.
We build interactive 3D websites with WebGL and Three.js: product configurators, virtual showrooms, scroll-driven storytelling and data visualisations. Models are optimised and compressed, scenes load progressively and everything degrades gracefully on older devices.
Crucially, a 3D website still has to be a good website. The content stays in real, accessible HTML, so screen readers can read it and search engines can index it — the 3D is the stage, not a wall in front of your content.
- 3D website design
- WebGL
- Three.js
- Product configurators
- Scroll storytelling
- Virtual showrooms
Under the hood

- Motion

- Fallback
- Works without WebGL — the content is always plain HTML
- SEO
- Server-rendered text, structured data and a fast first paint
04Advanced Functionality
Websites That Do The Work
Bookings, Portals, Dashboards & Integrations
Some websites need to do far more than show pages. We build sites and web applications with advanced functionality: online booking and scheduling, customer and member portals, quoting tools, calculators, dashboards and internal systems that replace spreadsheets.
This is custom web development in the truest sense — designed around your process, connected to the tools you already use through APIs and webhooks, and secured with proper accounts, roles and permissions.
- Booking systems
- Customer portals
- Membership websites
- Web applications
- API integrations
- Dashboards
Under the hood
- Stack
- Next.js, React and TypeScript, with Supabase and PostgreSQL

- Admin
- Custom back-office tools, so your team can run it themselves
05UX & UI Design
Designed Around Your Customers
Bespoke Web Design, Not A Template
Bespoke website design starts with your customers: what they came for and what will convince them. We research, sketch and wireframe the key journeys, then design a visual system that fits your brand and works at every screen size.
You'll click through a prototype before anything is built, and the design is delivered as reusable components and design tokens — so new pages look right without starting from scratch.
- Bespoke web design
- Wireframes
- Prototypes
- Responsive design
- Design systems
- Branding
Under the hood
- Process
- Research, wireframes, visual design, then a clickable prototype

- System
- Components and design tokens shared between design and code
- Accessible
- Contrast, focus states and type sizes checked as we design
06Speed & SEO
Fast Pages Rank Higher
Core Web Vitals & Technical SEO
Speed affects everything: rankings, conversions and how your brand feels. Our websites are built to pass Core Web Vitals, with server rendering, optimised images and fonts, and only as much JavaScript as each page needs.
Technical SEO is part of the build, not an add-on: semantic HTML, clean URLs, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, structured data and metadata for every template — plus carefully mapped redirects when you're moving from an old site.
- Core Web Vitals
- Technical SEO
- Structured data
- Site migrations
- Image optimisation
- Analytics
Under the hood
- Rendering
- Static and server rendering, cached at the edge
- Targets
- LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms and CLS under 0.1
- Markup
- Semantic HTML, schema.org structured data and Open Graph tags
- Migrations
- URL mapping and 301 redirects to protect existing rankings
- Analytics
- Privacy-friendly analytics and Search Console, set up at launch
07Content Management
Easy For Your Team To Update
WordPress Or Headless — Your Choice
A website is only as good as its content, so your team needs to update it with confidence. We build on WordPress when you want a familiar editor and a huge plugin ecosystem, or on a headless CMS with Next.js when performance and flexibility come first.
Either way, editors get custom blocks and page templates that match the design, so they can publish new pages and landing pages without breaking the layout — or calling a developer.

- Multilingual
- Editor training
Under the hood

- Custom themes and Gutenberg blocks, without page-builder bloat

08Hosting & Security
Secure, Fast & Always On
Hosting, Backups & Protection
We launch your website on fast, secure hosting matched to the site — from managed WordPress hosting to global edge networks for Next.js — with SSL, a CDN and automated backups set up from day one.
Security comes in layers: hardened configuration, a web application firewall, rate limiting, prompt updates and least-privilege access for every account and integration.

Looked After After Launch
Maintenance, Monitoring & Growth

We'll also help it grow — reviewing search performance, testing improvements to key pages and adding new features as your business changes.

10Questions
Good To Know
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the site needs to do. A focused business website costs far less than an eCommerce store, a directory or a site with bookings and customer accounts. After a short discovery call you get an estimate broken down by feature, so you can see exactly where the budget goes.
How long does it take to build a website?
A focused business website can often launch within a few weeks. eCommerce stores, directory websites and sites with custom functionality take longer, because there's more to design, build and test. We agree a timeline with milestones before work starts.
Should I use WordPress or a custom-built website?
WordPress is a great fit when your team wants a familiar editor and access to its plugin ecosystem. A custom Next.js site suits projects where speed, security and bespoke functionality matter most. We'll recommend the right option for your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all platform.
Will my website be optimised for search engines?
Yes. Technical SEO is part of every build: fast pages, semantic HTML, clean URLs, structured data, XML sitemaps and metadata for every template. If you're replacing an old site, we map redirects so you keep the rankings you've earned.
Do 3D websites slow sites down or hurt SEO?
Not when they're built well. We load 3D scenes progressively after the page content, compress models and textures, adapt quality to the device and keep all text in real HTML — so the page stays fast, accessible and fully indexable.
Can you redesign my website without losing rankings?
Yes. We audit your current pages and search performance, keep the URLs that matter, map 301 redirects for those that change and monitor Search Console after launch to catch any issues early.
