Included in a typical proposal
- Build labour for the agreed templates and integrations.
- A test pass of named user journeys.
- Deployment to the hosting named in the proposal.
WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Turn approved designs and business requirements into a working website. Choose the platform around editing needs, integrations and long-term ownership rather than a fashionable technology stack.
WHAT THIS SERVICE IS
Website development turns an approved design and a page brief into a working site: HTML, templates, forms, and the connections you named. The platform is chosen for editing, hosting and long-term ownership. A static site, WordPress or a small custom build are all valid; fashion is not a requirement.
Development includes the unglamorous parts that decide whether the site is usable: heading order, image sizes, form confirmation, redirects from old URLs if you have them, and a certificate that actually matches the domain. It does not include writing your about page unless copy is in the proposal.
If you already have designs from another studio, we can build from those provided they are complete enough. Incomplete packs become design work, quoted as such.
A CLEAR PICTURE
WHO IT IS FOR
Teams with designs ready to implement, businesses that want a lightweight site they can host simply, and organisations that need integrations — a form to email, a booking tool, or analytics — specified in writing.
TYPICAL SCOPE
Match the brief to a static site, WordPress, or a custom approach. Licensing, update burden and who will log in are part of the choice. We will not put a two-page site on a stack that needs a weekly patch ritual without a reason.
Responsive pages, accessible interactions, and the components in the design. Browser support is the current major browsers unless you name an exception. Print styles and app-like behaviour are extra if you need them.
Forms, WhatsApp links, maps, analytics, booking or payment tools that the proposal lists. Each integration has an owner for its account. We do not create a shadow analytics property you cannot access.
Checks of the main journeys, HTTPS, metadata, and a sensible 404. Hosting is configured as agreed. DNS changes wait for your registrar access. A launch on a Thursday afternoon before a public holiday is a decision you make with the risks named.
HOW THE WORK RUNS
Pages, components, integrations and hosting destination.
Real content in as it arrives; placeholder text is marked as such.
Forms, links, languages and a phone-sized pass over every template.
DNS, cache, and how to revert if a record is wrong.
INCLUDED AND QUOTED SEPARATELY
AFTER HANDOVER
Repository or CMS access, hosting login, and a short note of how to edit the parts you are expected to touch. Environment variables and API keys go in your vault, not in a ticket screenshot.
Warranty for obvious build defects sits in the proposal if you want a bounded period. New pages, new languages and new integrations are new work.
PRACTICAL NOTES
Content arriving late is the usual delay, not the framework. If photographs and legal copy are still missing, we can launch with marked placeholders only when you accept that the public site will look unfinished. A quieter approach is a staging URL until the facts exist. Neither is a secret acceleration; it is a choice about what the public is allowed to see.
Third-party scripts added after launch — extra chat tools, heatmaps, tag managers — can undo careful front-end work. If marketing will add tags, name a person who is allowed to, and keep a staging check. Speed and maintenance pages exist for when that discipline slips.
PLANNING THE WORK
Often, if it is healthy. A compromised or heavily forked theme may need the WordPress service or a rebuild instead.
No. Some sites are better as straightforward templates. Builders are a choice with an update cost.
Only if you want that. Many business sites are private. Ownership of the code is in the agreement.
