Website Development

Yes. That is the reason we model content before building pages. Your team gets a CMS with fields that match how you actually write, editor roles so the wrong person cannot dismantle a template, and a preview of every change before it is public. Everyday edits, new pages and campaign landing pages should never require a developer.

Usually, and we will tell you plainly when the honest answer is no. Part of discovery is judging whether your current platform can carry the plan: the content model it allows, what it costs to extend, and whether it can meet the performance targets you need. If it can, we build on it. If it cannot, you get the reasons in writing before anyone commits to a migration.

Both. Commerce scope covers structured product data with variants and merchandising controls, cart, checkout and order management, and payment gateways wired for cards, local methods and settlement. Availability stays accurate because the storefront reads stock from your warehouse or ERP rather than a second list somebody updates by hand. Carrier and fulfilment links handle rates, labels, tracking and returns. If you sell to businesses instead of consumers, the same build covers negotiated pricing, bulk ordering and approval flows rather than a single consumer checkout.

Yes. Gated content, member accounts, entitlements and renewals sit on the same build as the public pages, so there is one design system and one deployment instead of two things drifting apart. A customer account area usually covers orders, addresses, invoices and preferences, which takes routine questions out of your support inbox. Where the work is closer to an application than a website, such as booking against live availability or a portal with per-role permissions, we say so and scope it that way.

Both are treated as build constraints with targets agreed before design starts, not a pass at the end. Core Web Vitals are measured on the real templates while they are being built, so image handling, font loading and third-party scripts get argued about before launch rather than after it. Accessibility is checked the same way: keyboard paths, focus order, contrast and semantic markup, tested as pages are assembled. We will also push back on a layout or a tracking script that cannot meet the targets, and offer the cheaper version of the same idea.

We inventory every existing URL and build a redirect map before the new site is deployed, carry structured data across, and keep the old titles and headings as a reference rather than discarding them. The same discipline applies to a planned move between platforms or hosts, where URL integrity is the thing that has to survive the transfer. After cutover we watch indexing and crawl errors in Search Console so anything that slips can be corrected quickly. Crawlability, schema and site structure are part of the build, not a separate project afterwards.

Either. We can run design and build together, or take your existing brand files and design system and build faithfully to them. If you are supplying the design, we will flag anything that will be expensive to maintain or hard to make accessible before we start.

You do. Repositories, hosting, domain, analytics and CMS all sit in accounts you control. We ask for access rather than holding it, and hand back a written record of what lives where. Handover documentation is written for whoever maintains the site next, including a team that is not us.

Yes. An ongoing arrangement can cover security and dependency updates, uptime monitoring, content support and small changes, with a named route for anything urgent. You can also take all of it in-house. The handover is written so that is a real option rather than a polite one.
