Website Development

A website is infrastructure, not a brochure. It has to load quickly on a mid-range phone over a poor connection, remain usable for people with assistive technology, stay editable by non-technical staff, and still be maintainable when the developer who built it has moved on.

Performance treated as a requirement

Core Web Vitals are a build requirement in our projects, not a post-launch clean-up. That means budgeting image weight and third-party scripts from the start, rendering critical content server-side, and measuring on representative devices rather than a developer laptop on office wi-fi.

Accessibility from the first component

We build to WCAG AA: semantic markup, keyboard operability, visible focus states, and sufficient colour contrast verified against real backgrounds. Retrofitting accessibility after launch costs several times more than building it in, and in many jurisdictions it is a legal obligation rather than a nicety.

Content ownership without developer bottlenecks

If every copy change needs a developer, the site goes stale. We model content properly in the CMS so your team can edit what they need, and lock down what should stay consistent. Structured fields beat a single freeform editor for anything that repeats.

Architecture chosen for your situation

We do not have a single default stack. A content-heavy marketing site with a small team is well served by well-configured WordPress. A site needing to feed a mobile app and multiple front ends benefits from a headless CMS with a Next.js front end. We explain the trade-offs, including running cost and hiring implications, before choosing.
