Planning & process
Starting the project
How long will my website take to design and build?+
Timescales depend on the size, functionality, content and speed of feedback. We agree a project schedule before work begins, and receiving content and approvals promptly helps keep it on track.
Do we need to meet in person?+
Not necessarily. Most projects can be managed effectively by telephone, video call and email, although meetings can be arranged when useful.
What content do I need to provide?+
Useful starting materials include service information, business background, contact details, brand assets, photographs and examples of websites you like. We can advise on gaps and content preparation.
Design & experience
Creating the right look
What if I don't like the design?+
We ensure the visual direction is agreed before detailed design begins. We use relevant example websites to establish the look you prefer, including colours, layout and important features, so major surprises are avoided. We can also refine and tweak the design afterwards to bring it even closer to your needs.
Will my website work on mobile devices?+
Yes. Our websites are designed mobile first and tested across representative phone, tablet, laptop and desktop sizes.
Can you redesign an existing website?+
Yes. We can retain useful brand and content elements while improving the visual design, structure, mobile experience, speed and conversion journey.
Technology & growth
Managing the website
Can I update my own website?+
Yes. If regular editing is required, we can provide a content management system configured around the pages and information your team needs to manage.
Can you build an e-commerce website?+
Yes. We design online shops with product management, secure payment integration, order workflows and customer-focused shopping journeys.
Will my website be search-engine friendly?+
Websites are built with crawlable structure, semantic content, mobile usability, performance and metadata foundations. Ongoing rankings also depend on useful content, competition and authority.
Ownership & support
After the launch
Who owns the completed website?+
Ownership and any third-party licensing are defined clearly in the project agreement. We do not use ownership ambiguity to lock clients into support.
Can you host and support the website?+
Yes. Managed hosting, maintenance and ongoing development support can be included according to the website's requirements.
Are there hidden website costs?+
The agreed proposal sets out scope, costs and relevant third-party services. Any additional work requested later is discussed and approved before it is undertaken.
