BUILDshipping the web since 1996

Web Development

Websites & web apps that convert — and rank in AI search.

We design, build, and maintain fast, modern websites and web applications — from marketing sites to complex customer portals. Engineered for performance, accessibility, and visibility in both Google and the new generation of AI search.

From a fast marketing site to a full customer portal — built to own, not to rent.

BUILD/SCOPE

What's included

From first pixel to ongoing care. Everything under one team, so the build and the upkeep never point fingers at each other.

SITE

Custom sites & CMS

Hand-built or on a CMS your team can actually edit — no lock-in.

APP

Web apps & customer portals

Logins, dashboards, and workflows that live in the browser.

SHOP

E-commerce

Storefronts and checkouts wired to your payment and fulfilment stack.

PERF

Performance, SEO & AI-search optimization

Core Web Vitals, structured data, and visibility in Google and AI answers.

CARE

Ongoing care & hosting plans

Patched, backed up, and monitored — hosting we keep boring on purpose.

BUILD/STACK

Under the hood.

How these sites are actually built — for the person on your side who has to vet the work.

Modern rendering, real performance budgets, and search visibility engineered in — not bolted on at the end.

Modern web architecture

Static-first, dynamic where it earns it

We build on modern component frameworks and render static HTML by default — the fastest, most reliable thing a browser can receive — reaching for server rendering or client interactivity only where a feature genuinely needs it.

The result is a site that loads fast on a phone at a job site, stays cheap to host, and doesn't fall over when traffic spikes. Content lives in a CMS your team can edit without opening a ticket.

Performance & AI-search

Found by people and by machines

Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor, so we hold a performance budget from the first commit: optimized images, minimal JavaScript, and Core Web Vitals in the green.

We mark up pages with structured data and clean semantics so both Google and the new generation of AI answer engines can read, cite, and surface you — visibility that compounds instead of decaying.

  • Semantic HTML
  • Accessibility (WCAG)

BUILD/PROCESS

How a project runs

A typical build, in the order it actually happens. Each phase exits with something you can see and sign off on.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Discovery & design

    • Goals, audience, and success metrics pinned down.
    • Sitemap, wireframes, and a visual direction you approve.
    • Tech and content plan — CMS, integrations, migration scope.

    ExitEveryone agrees what we're building.

  2. Weeks 3–6

    Build & integrate

    • Design built into responsive, accessible pages.
    • CMS, forms, and integrations wired and tested.
    • Performance and SEO baked in — not a final-week scramble.

    ExitA staging site you can click through.

  3. Launch

    Ship & care

    • Launch checklist — redirects, analytics, structured data.
    • Handover and training so your team can edit with confidence.
    • Care plan live — hosting, monitoring, and iteration.

    ExitLive, fast, and measured.

BUILD/FAQ

Fair questions

Do we own the site and the code?

Yes — outright. You get the code, the CMS, and the accounts, with no proprietary lock-in and no licence that holds your content hostage. If you ever leave, everything comes with you.

Can our team edit content without a developer?

That's the plan. We build on a CMS your staff can actually use and hand it over with training, so day-to-day edits never require a ticket. We're here when you want bigger changes.

What does "rank in AI search" actually mean?

We structure pages with clean semantics and structured data so both Google and AI answer engines can read and cite you accurately. It is the same discipline that helps traditional SEO, done so machines can quote you.

Will you maintain the site after launch?

If you want us to. Care plans cover hosting, updates, backups, and monitoring — or we hand over a clean, documented site your own team runs. Your call, either way.
