WEB DEVELOPMENT

Website costs vary depending on complexity and requirements. A basic brochure website for a Liverpool small business typically ranges from £2,000-£5,000. E-commerce platforms and custom web applications range from £5,000-£15,000. We offer transparent pricing and always provide a detailed quote before starting work. Many UK businesses also qualify for government grants (Help to Grow: Digital) that can cover up to £5,000 of your investment.

A standard business website typically takes 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to launch. This includes discovery, design, development, content population, and testing phases. E-commerce sites and complex web applications may take 8-12 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout development with regular check-ins and staged deliveries.

Yes! We offer comprehensive hosting and maintenance packages starting from £50/month. This includes fast UK-based hosting, SSL certificates, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, performance optimization, and technical support. We can also work with your existing hosting provider if you prefer. All our websites include 30 days of free post-launch support.

Absolutely! Every website we build is fully responsive and mobile-first, ensuring perfect display on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. We implement comprehensive SEO best practices including semantic HTML, optimized page speed, schema markup, meta tags, XML sitemaps, and mobile optimization. Our sites typically achieve 90+ Lighthouse scores and are structured to rank well in Google from day one.

Yes! We build websites with user-friendly content management systems (CMS) that allow you to easily update text, images, blog posts, and products without technical knowledge. We provide comprehensive training and documentation, plus video tutorials. Popular CMS options include WordPress, Shopify (for e-commerce), or headless CMS platforms like Contentful for more complex needs.

We use modern, future-proof technologies based on your specific needs. For traditional websites: WordPress, PHP, and Laravel. For high-performance applications: React, Next.js, Vue.js, and Node.js. For e-commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom solutions. We also specialize in JAMstack architectures, headless CMS, progressive web apps (PWAs), and API-first development. All projects use responsive CSS frameworks like Tailwind CSS and are hosted on reliable platforms like AWS, Digital Ocean, or UK-based providers.

Yes! While we're based in Liverpool, we serve clients throughout the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, London, and beyond. Our remote-first approach means we can deliver exceptional service regardless of your location. We use collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom, and project management platforms to ensure seamless communication. For larger projects, we're happy to arrange in-person meetings anywhere in the UK.

We combine enterprise-level technical expertise with SME-friendly pricing. Unlike basic template agencies, we build custom solutions tailored to your business goals. Unlike expensive enterprise consultancies, we offer transparent, competitive pricing. We specialize in modern technologies (React, Next.js, AI integration) that many Liverpool agencies don't offer. Plus, our unique legacy modernization expertise means we can handle complex technical challenges beyond standard website builds.

Yes! You retain full ownership of your website, all content, images, and code. We provide complete source code access and documentation. If you ever want to move to a different host or developer, you're free to do so. We believe in transparency and client ownership – no lock-in contracts or proprietary systems that trap you.

Absolutely! We offer website redesign services for outdated or underperforming sites. This includes modernizing design, improving performance, implementing better SEO, adding new features, and migrating to better platforms. We can also perform website audits to identify specific improvement opportunities. Many Liverpool businesses come to us with older WordPress sites needing a complete overhaul, which we can deliver while preserving your existing content and search rankings.
