Bespoke websites for service businesses, e-commerce, and B2B teams. Designed in Manchester, built on modern stacks (Next.js, WordPress, custom PHP), and maintained by the same people who built them — no agency churn, no handover panic.
A selection of sites we've designed, built, or rebuilt — service businesses, e-commerce, B2B, and the odd children's book series. Each one still running, still maintained.
Next.js 16 rebuild of a legacy WordPress site for an established Cotswolds floor-care business. Service booking, gallery, and a persistent side-tab CTA driving conversion.
Custom WordPress plugin suite for a French restaurant — click-and-collect ordering, custom order statuses, AJAX checkout, and a companion reviews plugin.
WordPress to Next.js 16 migration for a Sheffield family-run floor-care business. Trailing-slash URLs preserved 1:1, brand-aligned serif typography, Prisma 7 backed.
Next.js 16 corporate site for an industrial gas supplier. Editorial prose-led architecture across syngas processing, specialty gas, and global supply capability.
Children's empowerment brand site built with PHP 8.1+ MVC. Educational content, parents area, story library, and a brand-aligned design system tuned for under-10s.
Our own large-SKU storefront. Next.js 16 / Prisma 7 / Neon Postgres serving 362k+ products from Dell, Lenovo, HPE, Ingram Micro and Arrow Electronics UK.
More to show — including work we can't feature publicly. Ask to see specific examples in your sector.
From brand systems to deploy pipelines, we build the whole thing. No sub-contracted designers, no overseas dev shops, no surprise SEO consultants showing up six weeks in.
Brand discovery, type systems, colour palettes, illustration direction, component libraries. Designed in Figma, handed off with tokens that survive contact with the codebase.
Next.js 16, React, TypeScript, Prisma, Tailwind. Built on stacks that won't be obsolete in 18 months, with the type-safety and DX to keep us shipping past launch.
WordPress, WooCommerce, MODX, custom PHP MVC, Plesk-hosted stacks. We work with what you have — or take you off it cleanly when it's time.
Catalogues from 10 SKUs to 360,000+. Stripe, PayPal, custom checkouts, distributor sync, ERP integration, click-and-collect, B2B trade pricing. Whatever your model.
Lighthouse 95+ as a starting line, not a goal. Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.1 AA, structured data, server-rendered HTML, edge caching. Measured, not promised.
WordPress to Next.js, MODX to bespoke, anywhere to anywhere — preserving URLs and SEO equity. Then we stay on. No agency churn, no handover panic.
From first conversation to live site to ongoing support. No "we'll get back to you" weeks, no surprise scope creep, no handover panic.
Audit the brand, define the audience, agree on the goals. The most undervalued phase, in our experience.
Wireframes through visual design through prototype. Two review rounds built in, more if you need them.
The longest phase. Engineering, content, integrations, testing — done in the open with weekly demos.
Final QA, DNS cutover, monitoring on standby. Always scheduled mid-week. Never Fridays.
We stay on. Performance monitoring, security updates, feature additions, whatever the site needs next.
Total project time is usually 6–12 weeks from brief to live. Faster on small builds, longer on e-commerce or migrations with complex content.
Web work is bespoke. Every project has its own scope. But most fit one of these four shapes — ranges below, firm quote after a discovery call.
For service businesses, professional firms, and small B2B teams who need a credible web presence that actually converts.
Online shops, restaurants with click-and-collect, B2B with online ordering. Stripe or PayPal, with optional ERP integration.
Existing sites needing a tech refresh. WordPress → Next.js, MODX → headless, any stack → modern — while protecting SEO equity.
When off-the-shelf won't fit. Custom workflows, multi-user systems, third-party integrations, admin tooling — anything that's more than a website.
Ranges excludedomain registration, ongoing hosting (from £4.99/mo on our plans), content writing, and professional photography. Each quoted separately if you need them.
