Websites Designed to Rank, Load Fast & Convert
Your website is your hardest-working salesperson. We design and build fast, mobile-first sites on WordPress, Shopify, or custom code — and we'll show you a free mockup before you spend anything.
Web design and development is the work of building a website that looks credible, loads fast, and turns visitors into customers — not just a page that exists. A slow or confusing site quietly loses the traffic your SEO and ads worked to win. We design around how people actually decide, then build clean, fast, SEO-ready sites on the right platform for you: a custom WordPress theme, a Shopify store, or fully custom code. You see a free mockup first, so you can picture the result before committing.
Design is a business decision
A website isn't a brochure — it's where trust is won or lost in seconds. Here's what's at stake.
To make an impression
Visitors judge credibility almost instantly — design and speed decide whether they stay or bounce.
Where most traffic is
Mobile is now the majority of web traffic, so we design and test mobile-first, not as an afterthought.
Faster pages convert more
Conversion rates fall as pages get slower, which is why we optimise for Core Web Vitals from the start.
Built to be found
Clean code, semantic structure, and schema mean your new site is ready to rank, not fighting to.
Directional principles drawn from widely cited UX and performance research (Google, Portent, and web-vitals studies). We tie every build to your real conversion goals.
Custom web design & UX
Templates constrain your brand and blur you into your competitors. We design custom, on-brand interfaces around your buyer's journey — clear value up front, obvious next steps, and layouts that guide people toward enquiry or checkout. Every screen is planned mobile-first and reviewed with you before a line of code is written.
- Custom, on-brand UI designed around your buyer journey
- Mobile-first layouts and conversion-focused UX
- A free mockup so you see the direction before committing
WordPress, Shopify & custom development
We build on the platform that fits your content, catalogue, and team — not whatever is easiest for us. That means custom WordPress themes and WooCommerce stores, Shopify builds, or fully custom code when a project demands it. Clean, maintainable, and fast, with the admin experience shaped around the people who'll actually run the site.
- Custom WordPress themes and WooCommerce stores
- Shopify ecommerce and custom-coded builds
- Redesigns and migrations that protect your rankings
Speed, SEO & conversion built in
A beautiful site that loads slowly still loses money. We optimise images, code, and load times to pass Core Web Vitals, structure the markup so search engines and AI answer engines can read it, and design pages that turn visits into leads and sales. After launch, we offer maintenance so it stays fast, secure, and current.
- Core Web Vitals and page-speed optimization
- SEO-ready structure, schema, and clean code
- Ongoing maintenance, security, and support

Questions, answered
It depends on scope - page count, whether it's WordPress, Shopify or custom, and features like ecommerce or integrations. Because every build is different, we quote each project individually rather than advertise a fixed price. Book a call and we'll scope it honestly, then send a clear, itemised proposal with timeline before you commit.
A focused small-business site or landing page typically takes a few weeks; larger marketing sites and ecommerce stores take longer, depending on page count, content readiness and integrations. After discovery we give you a realistic timeline with milestones so you know what happens each week and when you'll launch.
Templates are cheaper and faster but constrain design, performance and differentiation. Custom development shapes the site around your brand, buyer journey and goals, and keeps the code clean and fast. For many small sites a well-built custom design still fits the budget - we'll tell you honestly which route suits your project.
All three. We build custom WordPress themes and WooCommerce stores, design and set up Shopify shops, and write fully custom code when a project needs it. We recommend the platform based on your content, catalogue and who will manage the site - not on what's easiest for us to build.
Yes. Mobile is now the majority of web traffic, so we design mobile-first and test on real devices. We optimise images, code and load times to pass Google's Core Web Vitals. It's also commercial: faster pages keep more visitors and convert more of them, which is the whole point of the build.
Yes. We redesign outdated or underperforming sites, replatform between systems (for example to WordPress or Shopify), and handle migration of your content, URLs and SEO so rankings and traffic are protected. We plan redirects and test thoroughly before go-live so the relaunch is smooth rather than disruptive.
Yes. After launch we offer maintenance and support - updates, backups, security, performance monitoring and content changes - so your site stays fast, secure and current. You can take a support plan or call us as needed. We'll recommend the level of cover that matches how often your site changes.
We design around how visitors actually decide: clear value up front, fast load times, mobile-first layouts, and conversion-focused landing pages with obvious next steps. Speed matters too - Portent found ecommerce conversion peaks at fast loads. We combine that with clean UX and testing so the site earns clicks, not just compliments.
