Website build and development

A website that loads fast, works on every device and is easy for you to update. We build in Framer, a modern platform that looks after hosting, security and speed. You can change text, images and news posts yourself, and the site is set up from day one for Google, AI search and enquiries.

Let’s Talk

A slow, fiddly website costs you twice

First, visitors leave. Google found that 53% of mobile visitors abandon a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. Second, a site that’s hard to update goes stale: old prices, last year’s events, a contact form nobody has tested in months.

Many small business sites run on platforms that need regular plugin updates and security patches. Skip them and the site slows down or breaks. Pay someone to keep on top of them and you’re spending money just to stand still.

A website you can’t update slowly stops telling the truth about your business.

What does a website build include?

Responsive build

Every page built and tested on phones, tablets and desktops.

Easy content management

Update text, images, news, events and blog posts yourself, with a walkthrough at launch.

Speed and performance

Optimised images, clean code and fast hosting, so pages load quickly wherever your visitors are.

SEO and AI-ready set-up

Page titles, meta descriptions, clear headings, image descriptions, structured data and a sitemap, so Google and AI tools can understand and recommend you.

Forms that work

Contact and enquiry forms tested end to end, so every enquiry reaches your inbox.

A careful launch

Domain connected, redirects from your old pages, analytics set up and a 30-day warranty.

How it works

Prepare

We gather the approved designs, your content and images, and agree the launch date. Having everything ready up front keeps the build quick and avoids last-minute surprises.

Project review

A clear structure for a busy church community

With two locations, regular services, ministries and community events, West Church Bangor needs a website that’s easy to keep current. We rebuilt it in Framer with a CMS organised around the way the church works, giving news, events and service information a logical, consistent structure. The team can add and update content without touching code or rebuilding page layouts, while shared templates keep everything looking consistent. For a busy church community, that means less time managing the website and a clearer, more reliable place for members and newcomers to find what’s happening.

"Glenn is very approachable and listens to the problems you have with your website. He brought clarity and structure to our website when we were struggling to understand what we needed. And the CMS is so easy to use!"
