The right tool for THE RIGHT JOB

We've always believed in using the right tool for the job. WordPress has powered millions of websites — including many of ours — and for schools, charities and organisations that need a familiar, easy-to-manage CMS, it remains an excellent choice.

But for new business websites where speed, SEO performance and long-term reliability are the priority, we now build on Astro — next-generation technology that delivers lightning-fast sites that Google loves.

Our Astro sites routinely score 95–100 on Google's PageSpeed test. Most standard WordPress sites score 55–70. That gap translates directly into better rankings, lower bounce rates, and more customers finding you.

Not sure which platform is right for you? We'll always give you an honest recommendation — even if that means sticking with what you've got.

Questions we hear a lot GOOD TO KNOW
How much does a website cost?
Most small business websites start from around £1,200 and go up depending on complexity. We give fixed quotes — no surprises. We can also phase work to suit your budget.
How long does it take?
A typical small business website takes 4–6 weeks from brief to launch. We work to agreed timescales and keep you updated throughout.
Will I need to maintain it?
Our Astro-built sites require virtually no ongoing maintenance — there are no plugins to update or databases to manage. We also offer hosting and support packages if you want total peace of mind.
Will it rank on Google?
We build every site with SEO best practice from day one — fast loading, clean code, structured data, metadata and mobile-first design. We also offer ongoing SEO packages to grow your rankings over time.
