Web design & development

Websites that feel inevitable.

Two families of websites, four core builds, and add-on services. Non-eCommerce sites inform and generate leads; eCommerce sites sell. Every build is available on WordPress or custom-coded, and includes on-page SEO.

Two ways to build

WordPress or custom-coded.

Every service card below has its own switch — flip it to see that build’s price and exactly what changes.

WordPress

Built on the world’s most popular CMS, with WooCommerce for stores. Your team edits pages, posts and products in a familiar dashboard.

  • Easy self-editing
  • Huge plugin ecosystem
  • Included in the starting price

No web developer required to manage. You can update content, images and products yourself.

Custom-coded +$1,000

Hand-written front end with a custom Laravel or Node.js back end when needed — custom payment processing, APIs and webhooks, no plugins or themes.

  • Fastest load times & smallest attack surface
  • Unlimited design and feature freedom
  • No plugin licences or plugin conflicts

Requires a web developer to manage. Content and product changes are made in code — included in our care plans or billed hourly.

Inform · Build trust · Generate leads

Non-eCommerce websites

Sites that inform, build trust and generate leads — calls, form submissions, bookings. Nothing is sold through a cart. Choose Standard for a presentation site, or Advanced when you need back-end functionality.

Sell online · Take payments · Ship orders

eCommerce websites

Sites that take payment online. The difference is what else is on the site: an Online Shopping Cart is a store and nothing else, while an eCommerce Website is a full business website with a store inside it.

Service 203 · eCommerce

Online Shopping Cart

A 100% eCommerce store — shopping is the whole site.

The entire website is the store: homepage, categories, product pages, cart, checkout and customer accounts. There are no separate informational or service pages — every page exists to help shoppers find products and buy. Think of how JCPenney.com or Macys.com work: you land, you shop.

$1,500 starting

Best for: Retail brands, boutiques, product companies and online-only sellers.

Included

  • Up to 50 products loaded before launch
  • Categories, filters & product search
  • Cart, checkout & customer accounts
  • Tax, shipping & coupon rules
  • Order notification emails
  • On-page SEO for every product
  • Mobile-optimised checkout

With WordPress

  • WooCommerce store on WordPress
  • WooCommerce Payments, Stripe & PayPal extensions
  • Add and edit products yourself in the dashboard
  • WooCommerce shipping, tax & coupon tools
  • Branded WooCommerce order emails

You manage it — no web developer needed for day-to-day updates.

Not included

  • Informational / service pages (see eCommerce Website)

Add the 3-Year Upgrade Plan from $34/mo.

How product pricing works

  • Both store builds include up to 50 products loaded before launch.
  • Launching with more than 50? Each additional product is $15 per product — for example, launching with 75 products adds 25 × $15 = $375.
  • The allowance applies to launch only. If you launch with 20 products, products added after launch are billed at $15 each — unused allowance doesn’t carry over.

Additional services

Smaller launches & second lives.

A focused one-page site when you need to launch fast, or a complete remodel of the website you already have.

Service 206 · Additional service

One-Page Website

Everything important, on one beautifully designed scrolling page.

A single, long-scroll page with clear sections — hero, about, services, gallery, testimonials area and contact. Visitors get the whole story in one smooth scroll, and every menu link jumps to its section.

SEO & plugins

What’s included, what’s extra.

SEO — included

Every build includes on-page SEO: page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, XML sitemap, schema markup and Search Console submission.

Yoast SEO plugin — $199

For WordPress sites that want Yoast SEO for ongoing self-managed optimisation, we install, license and configure it for a one-time $199.

Special plugins — client-purchased

If your WordPress site needs a premium or specialty plugin (bookings, memberships, subscriptions, advanced forms), the plugin licence is purchased by you. We install and configure it as part of the build.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What’s the difference between Standard and Advanced?

Standard is a presentation website — pages, content and a contact form, with no back-end functionality. Advanced adds back-end functionality: user logins, member or client portals, online booking, database-backed forms with an admin view, and integrations with your CRM or other systems.

What’s the difference between an Online Shopping Cart and an eCommerce Website?

An Online Shopping Cart is a store-only site — every page is about shopping, like JCPenney.com or Macys.com. An eCommerce Website is a full business website with information and service pages plus an integrated store, like Peloton.com.

Should I choose WordPress or custom-coded?

Choose WordPress if you want to manage content and products yourself — no web developer needed. Choose custom-coded (+$1,000) for maximum speed, security and custom features like coded payment processing, APIs and webhooks; a custom-coded site requires a web developer to manage changes.

How does the 3-Year Website Upgrade Plan work?

Add it to any build and pay a monthly rate for 36 months — 20% less than the build would cost. After three years, we design and build you a brand-new website of the same type at no additional cost.

Is SEO included?

Yes — on-page SEO is included with every build. The Yoast SEO plugin is optional at $199, and any premium or specialty plugin your site needs is purchased by you.

How are products priced?

Store builds include up to 50 products loaded before launch. Additional products at launch are $15 each, and products added after launch are billed at $15 each.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Once the project is paid in full, you own the design, code and content. We hand over all credentials and documentation.
