How a page gets made

From a plan to a page people use.

Every page starts as a plan of what a customer needs to see, in the order they need to see it. Then it is designed, written and built.

Scissor Guys’ homepage, which we designed and built for their barbershop in South Shields.

Speed is part of the design, not an extra.

In use

Sites we’ve built, on the screens they’re used on.

Most visits come from a phone, so every page is designed for one first, then for the desk.

What you get

Everything a good website needs, in one build.

One studio plans, writes, designs and builds it, so nothing is lost between people.

  1. 01

    A plan of the pages

    Built around how your customers decide, not around a template.

  2. 02

    Words that explain the offer

    We write with you. You know the business; we shape it for the page.

  3. 03

    Design that fits the business

    Your brand, refined, or one designed with you.

  4. 04

    Enquiry, quote and booking forms

    So the next step is obvious on every page.

  5. 05

    Search and analytics from day one

    Page structure, Search Console and tracking set up at launch.

  6. 06

    Launch and handover

    Domain, hosting and a walk-through of how it all works.

How it runs

Five steps, each one agreed.

You see where things are at every step, and nothing starts until you’ve agreed what it is and what it costs.

How every project runs
  1. UnderstandThe business, the customers and what a good enquiry looks like.
  2. PlanThe pages, the proof and the paths to call, quote or book.
  3. Design and buildWith check-ins you can see and comment on as it comes together.
  4. LaunchTracking, Search Console and a handover.
  5. Look after itUpdates, care and growth after launch, only if you want them.

Is it right for you

Who it suits, and who it doesn’t.

A good fit if

  • Your website is out of date, or there isn’t one yet.
  • The work is better than the website makes it look.
  • You want enquiries, quotes or bookings to come through the site.

Probably not if

  • You only need a holding page for now. A site builder may do, and we’ll say so.
  • The real problem is what happens after the enquiry. Then automation may come first.

What it costs

Priced to the size of the site.

A one-page site for a sole trader and a fifty-page site with bookings are different jobs, so they get different prices. You get a fixed quote before anything starts.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

How long does a website take?

Most take four to eight weeks once the content and decisions are ready. Bigger sites take longer, and the timeline is written into your quote.

Do you write the words?

Yes. We write with you as part of the build. You know the business; we shape it for the page.

Can you work with our brand?

Yes. We can refine what you have, or design a look with you as part of the project.

What happens at launch?

We set up the domain and hosting, connect Search Console and analytics, and hand over with a walk-through. Ongoing care is there if you want it.
