What we do

A website isn’t something you build once and forget. It needs building well, then running, guarding and keeping up to date.

Building your site

The build

Responsive means one site that fits every screen, from the phone in your hand to a big monitor.

People look you up on their phone, often in a hurry. If your site is slow or fiddly there, they try the next one.

What you get

  • The pages we agree
  • Built for phones first
  • Quick to load
  • A working enquiry form
  • The legal pages
  • Your old addresses kept working

Your words

Copy is the trade’s word for the words on your site: every heading, every line, every button.

You approve every word.

Why it matters

Your words are what make someone get in touch. They should sound like you, and answer what your customers ask.

What you get

We talk it through with you, then write it up, with two rounds of changes before it goes live.

Found on Google

Google reads sites to work out what each one is about, and who to show it to. SEO means making yours easy to read, and worth showing.

When someone nearby searches for what you do, you want to be what they find. A site Google can’t make sense of is easy to miss.

The basics, built into every site:

  • Clean code that Google can read
  • A title and a description for every page: what people see in Google’s results
  • A sitemap: the list of your pages, ready for Google
  • Fast pages that work on phones
  • Links to your old pages still work, so nobody who saved one hits a dead end
  • Your new site handed to Google the day it goes live, with a list of every page on it

We won’t promise you the top of Google. Want to climb higher? Ongoing search work, like your Google Business Profile and reviews, is a separate monthly. Ask us.

Motion and film

A little movement makes a site feel alive and worth a second look. Too much just gets in the way.

Movement like this site’s can go on yours as an extra, from words that rise to a short film. If a visitor’s phone is set to reduce motion, it all stays still.

Looking after it

It runs on a computer that has to stay on, and the software behind it keeps changing. That’s what the monthly care is for.

We run your site

If it ever breaks, one of us fixes it.

In plain English

Hosting is the computer your site lives on. It stays switched on, day and night, so anyone can visit at any hour.

Why it matters

If that computer stops, your site goes with it, and anyone looking for you finds nothing. Someone has to keep it running.

Safe from hackers

It isn’t personal. Automated programs try site after site, looking for out-of-date software to break into. Being small won’t keep you off the list.

  • Security fixes

    On your own: Yours to spot and apply.

    With us: Applied for you.

  • Add-ons

    On your own: Each one you add is another way in.

    With us: Only the ones your site needs.

  • If it’s hacked

    On your own: Putting it back is up to you.

    With us: Getting it back is part of the monthly care. Unless something you installed caused it.

Backed up

A backup is a copy of your whole site, kept somewhere safe.

  1. A bad update, or a break-in.

  2. Put back from the copy.

Your site backed up for you.

Kept up to date

Your site runs on WordPress, with plugins: add-ons that each do an extra job. Both get new versions, called updates.

WordPress and its plugins kept up to date for you.

Small changes

Your business changes, and your site should keep up without eating your time.

A little time each month for small changes: just send us a message. Bigger jobs, like a new page, are quoted first.

Yours to keep

Your domain is your web address: the name people type to find you.

It’s yours, not ours.

Why it matters

If it’s in someone else’s name, so are the keys to your front door online.

What you get

Your web address stays in your name, whoever looks after your site.
