Website design, development and redesign

Your needs

Give every visit a clear next step.

A website that makes your offer clear and helps people get in touch.

Understand your business, find the right service, book a meeting or send an enquiry: your website should make these actions straightforward. We build corporate, brand and lead generation websites around your audiences, content and the way your team will manage them.

Present an offer that has evolved

Reorganise pages so that your services, strengths and relevant work are easier to understand.

A new offer does not always need more pages. We start with the questions visitors need answered and the information that helps them decide.

Redesign with a considered transition

Plan how existing content, page addresses and useful functionality will carry over.

A redesign also affects shared links, forms and content people already use. An early inventory helps plan redirects and checks for launch.

Give your team more publishing control

Define page templates and components your team can use in the CMS.

Editing text, publishing news and creating pages require different levels of control. We define these tasks before configuring the content management system.

What we deliver

From content planning to launch.

01

Structure and design

We organise pages and journeys around the information people need. Designs reflect your visual identity and cover mobile use, forms and key interactions.

  • Site structure and priority journeys
  • Page designs and reusable components
02

Development and content management

We develop the website and configure the CMS for the agreed content types. Language versions, publishing permissions and required connections are defined around your organisation.

  • CMS and page templates
  • Agreed languages and integrations
03

Migration and launch preparation

We plan content migration, relevant redirects and checks on the main journeys. Performance, technical SEO and enquiry tracking requirements are included in the scoping process.

  • Content migration and checks
  • Acceptance checks and launch support
How we work

A launch planned with your team.

We agree on content production, approvals and responsibilities before setting the schedule.

1. Organise

Review the existing site, define audiences and agree on the new scope.

The availability of copy, translations and imagery affects the schedule alongside development. Each piece of content needs an owner and an approval date.

2. Design and build

Approve journeys and designs, then develop and add content in stages.

Templates are reviewed with representative content. A long heading, another language or a different image can change how a page works.

3. Check and launch

Test the main tasks, prepare publication and hand over the relevant access and guidance.

Checks also cover form delivery, redirects and mobile pages. Post-launch support is defined in the agreed arrangement.

Your questions about website design and development

Will we be able to update the website without a developer?

The CMS can let your team update the text, images and pages included in the project. We agree on these capabilities with you and prepare a handover. New functionality or a significant structural change may require development.

Can we keep our existing content and page addresses?

Yes. We review what can be retained and what needs updating. When addresses change, we plan the corresponding redirects. Migration includes checks, but it cannot guarantee that search rankings remain exactly the same.

Can you build a multilingual website?

Yes. We plan language versions, links between equivalent pages and the publishing process. The scope specifies the languages, how translations will be produced and who will approve them.

What should we consider for the budget and maintenance?

The budget depends on page templates, functionality, content migration and integrations. Hosting, any licences, maintenance and future changes are separate items to define. We distinguish the initial website build from its ongoing operation.
