Timescales depend on the size and scope of the project, and on how quickly content and feedback is provided.

Yes. We design and build websites for WordPress, which is the world's most popular content management system. It is easy to use out of the box, but we also customise that system to fit the exact requirements of your site, making it even easier to use and fast to load. The site will be also optimised to use the new Gutenberg editor, which will allow you to create simple attractive pages and blog posts easily.

We only work on websites we have built ourselves, so we can guarantee our high standard of design and development on every project. If your current site has issues, or is no longer right for your business, we recommend having a new site custom-built from scratch, so that it will last you for years.

We offer a template build service for small sites and startups on a budget, depending on the project. Please ask for more details.
