Website Development Services: what’s included

Custom website development

Every site is built around your business goals and content, not squeezed into a generic template.

Responsive on every device

Mobile-first layouts tested on real phones, tablets and desktops, so every visitor gets a smooth experience.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Lean code, optimised images and caching so pages load fast and pass Google’s performance checks.

SEO-ready structure

Clean URLs, heading hierarchy, schema markup and an XML sitemap built in from day one.

Forms, analytics and integrations

Contact forms, GA4 events, CRM and email-platform connections so every enquiry is tracked.

Training and handover

Recorded walkthroughs and full logins, so your team stays in control after launch.

Professional website development for small businesses and startups

Your website is often the first conversation a customer has with your business. We build websites that make that conversation easy: clear messaging, fast pages and an obvious next step. Whether you are a startup launching your first product or an established company replacing an outdated site, our website development services cover everything from planning to launch.

Most of the sites we build run on WordPress, because it lets your team update content without calling a developer. You can read more about that on our WordPress development services page. For landing pages and brochure sites that rarely change, a hand-coded static site is faster, more secure and cheaper to host.

Custom website development, not templates

Off-the-shelf themes look fine in a demo but often load slowly and leave you fighting the layout. We write custom code around your content, so every page has a clear purpose. If you already have a design, we can turn it into a working site through our Figma to HTML conversion or PSD to HTML conversion services. If you don’t, our website design team creates one first.

Responsive website development that ranks

Google now judges your site mainly by its mobile version, so responsive development is not optional. We test on real devices, keep pages light and add the technical SEO foundations that search engines expect. When you want to grow traffic further, our SEO services for small businesses build on that foundation.

Affordable website development without cutting corners

As freelance developers, we don’t carry agency overheads, so you get senior-level work at a fair price. Every project comes with a fixed, itemised quote before any work starts. See how we price projects on our pricing page, or read our guide to what a WordPress website really costs. Need ongoing help rather than a one-off project? You can hire a freelance WordPress developer by the hour or month.

How it works

How it works, step by step

  1. Discovery call

    We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the pages and features you need.

  2. Design or design review

    We design new pages in Figma, or review the designs you already have.

  3. Development on staging

    We build the site on a private link you can check and comment on at any time.

  4. Testing and launch

    Cross-browser and device testing, speed and SEO checks, then go-live on your domain.

Yes. Small business website development is a large part of our work: clear five-to-ten page sites that explain what you do, build trust and make it easy for customers to contact you.

If you want to edit pages, publish blog posts or sell products yourself, choose WordPress. If the site is a landing page or rarely changes, custom HTML is faster and cheaper to run. We advise honestly based on your needs.

A landing page takes about a week, a typical business website two to three weeks, and an online store three to six weeks, depending on content and feedback speed.
