It starts with the site itself.
Your site is the one sales tool that works while you sleep. If it loads slowly, reads badly on a phone, or buries the thing people came for, nothing spent upstream of it matters.
Web design & development
We design and build for small businesses that need a site to do a job — get found, explain the offer, and turn a visit into an enquiry. Hand-coded, no page builder, no template licence to renew.
From $500 for a complete site — design, build, copy support and launch. Quoted properly once we know the scope.
Four stages, in order
01
Your site is the one sales tool that works while you sleep. If it loads slowly, reads badly on a phone, or buries the thing people came for, nothing spent upstream of it matters.
02
That now means two audiences: search engines, and the AI assistants people increasingly ask instead. Both reward the same things — clean structure, honest answers, real page speed.
03
Traffic that does not enquire is a cost. We look at where people stall, change one thing at a time, and keep what measurably works rather than what looked better in a mockup.
04
A site left untouched for two years starts costing you enquiries quietly. Fresh photography, current copy and a working contact form are most of the maintenance most businesses need.
Every site is hand-coded from a design system — tokens for type, colour and spacing defined once, so page ten still looks like page one.
What we take on
01
Deciding what the page has to do before deciding what it looks like.
Structure first: what a visitor needs, in what order, and what they should do next. Then the interface that carries it.
Type scale, colour, spacing and components defined once as tokens, so the tenth page still looks like the first.
Wordmark, palette and photographic direction — how the business should look before anyone writes a line of code.
What each page says and in what order. Most sites do not need more words; they need the right ones nearer the top.
02
Hand-coded, so the page only ships what it uses.
Semantic HTML, modern CSS, and only the JavaScript a feature genuinely needs. No page builder, no theme to keep paying for.
Responsive images, lazy media, no layout shift. Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor and a bounce-rate factor at once.
Keyboard operation, real contrast ratios, reduced-motion support. It widens your audience and it is the law for a lot of clients.
Where you need to change copy or swap images yourself, wired so that editing is safe and cannot break the layout.
03
Getting found by search engines and by the AI assistants people now ask instead.
Technical foundations, structured data, local signals and page speed — the parts of SEO that are actually within your control.
Being quotable by AI search. Clear, self-contained answers, schema that describes the business as one entity, and crawlers allowed rather than blocked by default.
Find where people stall, change one thing, measure it. Layout, copy, pricing presentation and calls to action.
Privacy-respecting measurement set up so you can see which pages earn enquiries, not just which ones get visits.
04
The part most small-business sites are missing.
Copy changes, new sections, broken-link and form checks. Small, regular, and cheaper than a rebuild in three years.
Set up on fast static hosting with HTTPS and sensible DNS, or handed over documented if you would rather run it.
New services, new pricing, new team. The pages that earn enquiries are the ones that still describe the business you run now.
New frames shot for the site as the business changes — the thing a studio that also shoots can do that an agency has to subcontract.
One job, not two
Most sites are built around whatever images exist, then patched when they do not fit. We shoot for the layout and lay out for the shots — one scope, one timeline, one invoice. If you only need the build, that is fine too.
