Bespoke websites · From £300
Bespoke website design, built around your business.
Bespoke website design means starting from your customers and what you want them to do, not from a theme. We design every page, write the code by hand and host the finished site ourselves, so you get something fast, distinctive and easy to look after.
Who it's for
For businesses that want to look the part and be easy to find.
A bespoke site suits you if your website is often the first impression someone has of you, and you want it to feel like your business rather than everyone else's.
02
Professional firms
Solicitors, accountants, consultants and advisers who need to come across as trustworthy and explain what they do in plain language.
03
Founders and personal brands
Freelancers, creatives and new businesses who want a clean portfolio or a simple set of pages that can grow with them.
What's included
Everything you need to launch, in one price.
Every bespoke website we build comes with the essentials as standard. Your written quote lists exactly what's in your project, so there are no surprises later.
- A design made for you. We design your key pages around your brand, your customers and the one thing you most want visitors to do.
- Hand-written code. No page builder or theme, so pages are lean and load quickly, even on a weak phone signal.
- Phone-first layouts. Tested on phones, tablets and desktops before launch.
- Enquiry forms. Business websites include forms that send enquiries straight to you.
- Search-ready structure. Page titles, descriptions, headings, structured data and a sitemap, so Google can understand each page.
- Accessibility built in. Usable with a keyboard and a screen reader, with readable text and colour contrast.
- Hosting included. We put your site live and host it ourselves. See hosting and support.
The process
How a bespoke website comes together.
Marcel leads your project and is your primary contact, from the first conversation to launch day, while our team designs and builds it. If he's unavailable at short notice, another member of the team is on hand.
-
Discovery chat
We talk about your business, who your customers are, which pages you need and what a good result looks like for you. By video call, at a time that suits you.
-
Fixed written quote
We send a written quote with the pages, features, price and timeline. Nothing is due upfront, and nothing starts until you're happy with it.
-
Design the key pages
We design the homepage and one or two core pages first, then refine them with you before building the rest, so the look is settled early.
-
Build, review and launch
We build the full site, share a working preview for your feedback, then put it live on our hosting and check everything works.

Questions
Bespoke website questions.
What's the difference between a bespoke website and a template?
A template or website builder gives you a ready-made layout to fill in, along with a lot of code your site never uses. A bespoke website is designed for your business and written from scratch, so it only contains what you need. That usually means faster pages, a more distinctive look and fewer things to maintain. Our guide to bespoke websites vs website builders covers the trade-offs honestly.
Should I choose an information website or a business website?
If you mainly need people to find out who you are and how to contact you, an information website is often enough. If you offer several services, want a page for each one and want enquiries coming through forms, a business website is the better fit. We'll recommend the smaller option if it does the job.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
If you want to edit text, images and pages yourself, we can add a content management system for £1,000. Or you can simply send us changes, which we charge at our published hourly rates.
Do I need to write all the content?
You know your business best, so we'll ask you for the facts: your services, prices, opening hours and what makes you different. We help shape that into clear page copy and structure it so it works for visitors and search engines.
Do I own my website?
Yes. The design and content are yours. We host it for you as part of the service, so you don't need a separate hosting company.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. Nothing is due before we start work. Your written quote sets out the price and when payments fall due.
