Why have a custom-built website?
01. Tailored Functionality & Flexibility
Custom development allows businesses to implement specific features and integrations that may not be possible or efficient with off-the-shelf solutions. This is particularly important for businesses with unique workflows, e-commerce requirements, or interactive elements that require bespoke functionality.
02. Scalability & Performance
A custom website is built to often handle specific, unique, complex business needs. With a custom build, we have the freedom to optimise for high performance, faster load times, and scalability. Off-the-shelf solutions often limit us in this area as functionality and the business scales upward.
03. Unique Design & Branding
When we look at User Experience and User Interfaces, we collectively think about customers and administrators together. The experience of both user's journeys is as just important as the other. With custom builds we can fully customise the experiences separately giving them the ability to view and edit in an optimised, efficient way.
04. Ownership & Cost Efficiency
Take full ownership and control over the code, design, and functionality. Whilst a custom build has a higher upfront cost (Finance your project), it can be more cost-effective in the long run, especially for businesses that need long-term stability and flexibility.

The Process
Depending on the project, the discovery and scoping session will delve into the project's objectives, target audience, and desired functionalities. At the same time, we will aim to outline the site's structure, navigation, and content requirements along with an analysis of competitor websites and industry trends to ensure the site stands out and meets current standards. By the end of the session, both parties will have a clear understanding of the project scope, timeline, and deliverables, laying the foundation for a successful website development process.
Once the discovery phase has been completed we will document a full plan so that both parties know exactly what they are getting, when it will happen and at what cost. This will be documented in detail and signed off by both parties before we proceed with the design and development phases. The document will act as our go-to guide on how the project should progress throughout its life span. In the document, we will detail individual milestones and sprints so that we can deliver progress for you quicker and more accurately. Doing things in smaller chunks will allow us to keep in close communication regarding all phases of the project.
During the design phase, the creative vision starts to take shape. Our designer(s) translate your requirements and brand guidelines into visual concepts, typically beginning with wireframes to outline the site's layout and functionality.
These wireframes evolve into high-fidelity mockups that showcase the site's aesthetic elements, including colour schemes, typography, imagery, and interactive elements.
Throughout this phase, designers collaborate closely with the client, incorporating feedback and making revisions to ensure the design aligns perfectly with the client's vision and goals. The result is a polished design that not only looks visually appealing but also enhances user experience and effectively communicates the client's message to the target audience.
During the development phase, the focus shifts from design to implementation. Our development team begin by transforming the approved design mockups into a functional website using coding languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The development team will take care and consideration when they start and get to work on responsive layouts. These layouts will adapt seamlessly to various devices and screen sizes, ensuring a consistent user experience across platforms.
Throughout the development process, rigorous testing is conducted to identify and address any bugs or issues, ensuring the site performs optimally before launch. Collaboration between developers, designers, and stakeholders remains crucial to ensure the final product meets all requirements and exceeds expectations.
The website is complete and so undergoes final testing and quality assurance checks to ensure it meets all requirements and functions as intended. Once the site is deemed ready for launch, it is handed over to the client along with any necessary documentation, such as user manuals or training materials.
In addition, your account manager will guide you on how to manage and update the website, including plenty of instructions on how to use your content management system or platform if applicable. This will come in various formats such as written, audio and video content.
Throughout this phase, clear communication between ourselves and the client is essential to address any last-minute concerns or questions and ensure a smooth transition.
Finally, the website is officially launched and made accessible to the public, marking the full completion of the project.
Once launched we offer comprehensive maintenance and growth packages to ensure its continued success and relevance. Our maintenance packages include regular updates to software, plugins, and security patches to keep the website running smoothly and safeguard against potential threats.
In Addition, we provide ongoing technical support to address any issues or concerns that may arise, ensuring you have peace of mind knowing your website is in capable hands.
Our growth packages focus on expanding the website's reach and effectiveness, offering services such as performance monitoring. By continuously optimising and enhancing your website, we help you achieve your long-term goals and stay ahead of the competition. Our customisable packages are designed to adapt to the unique needs and priorities of each client, providing a tailored approach to maximising your online presence and success.

Why have a custom-built website?
Off-the-shelf website platforms may seem like a quick and cost-effective solution, but they often come with significant limitations, especially if you have very specific requirements about how you want your website to function and operate. These platforms can be restrictive in design and lack the flexibility needed for unique business requirements, which in turn could hamper how you scale your online business in the future.
Investing in a solid custom-built solution is often the answer in this case, and we are more than experienced in dealing with large-scale, extremely technical requirements. Our custom-built website solutions are specifically designed for your needs, allowing for full control over functionality, better integrations with your existing tools, and the ability to create a truly distinctive online presence. Instead of working around the limitations of a generic platform get in touch with us today, we would love to kick-start the conversation around your new custom-built website project.
