Website Development
What's included in every website build.
A website here isn't just a design handed over and forgotten. It's a consultative build — design, data, discoverability and support — put together so it keeps working after launch, not just on the day it ships.
Included as standard
Six months of ongoing management, on every project.
Every website I build includes six months of monitoring, small fixes, content support and security/dependency updates after launch — not sold as an add-on. After that, ongoing support continues on a simple rolling basis if you want it.
Process
How a project runs, start to finish.
Discovery & consultation
Understanding your audience, goals, competitors and content before any design starts — a short discovery call and a clear brief, so the site is built to actually do a job.
Design
Wireframes first, then visual design applied to your brand — not a template. Shared and iterated with you at each stage, not delivered as a surprise.
Build
Front-end development in Next.js/React and Tailwind as standard, tested across real devices and browsers as it's built, not just at the end.
Data, forms & analytics
Enquiry forms wired to email or a CRM, and privacy-conscious analytics set up so you can see what's working from day one.
Launch
Domain, hosting and DNS handled, SEO foundations in place, performance checked — and a walkthrough so you know how to use what you've been given.
Ongoing management
Six months of monitoring, small fixes, content support and security updates included as standard with every project — not an optional extra.
What's covered
Every capability that goes into the build.
Design
Bespoke visual design built around your brand, not a reskinned template — typography, colour and layout worked out together, with a lightweight design system so new pages stay consistent as the site grows.
Consultative process
Regular check-ins and shared previews, not a black box. You see the site as it's built and can steer it — the brief evolves with real feedback rather than being locked on day one.
Data & content structure
Content modelled properly from the start — whether that's a simple content structure or a CMS/database behind it — so the site can grow without a rebuild every time something changes.
Analytics
Privacy-conscious analytics set up so you can see traffic, behaviour and what's actually converting — configured to respect cookie consent, not bolted on regardless of it.
Contacts, CRM & enquiries
Enquiry forms that route somewhere useful — your inbox, a CRM, or a lead-tracking system — with spam protection, so enquiries don't get lost or buried.
Imagery, graphics & animation
Guidance on sourcing or commissioning photography, custom graphics where the brand needs them, and motion used with restraint — enough to feel considered, never at the cost of load time.
Device responsiveness
Designed mobile-first and tested across phone, tablet and desktop breakpoints, with touch-friendly interactions — most visitors will meet the site on a phone before anything else.
SEO
Technical foundations built in from the start: metadata, structured data, sitemaps and clean URLs, plus guidance on the on-page content that actually gets a site found.
Performance & accessibility
Fast load times and optimised assets as a baseline, with accessible markup so the site works with keyboards, screen readers and not just a mouse.
Security & hosting
Secure hosting, HTTPS by default, and regular backups — with dependency and security updates handled as part of ongoing management, not left to go stale.
Handover & training
Clear documentation and a walkthrough of anything you'll manage yourself, so you're never locked out of your own content or waiting on me for routine changes.
Looking for a platform, or AI, behind the site too?
Data management, CRM-style tooling and project systems are covered on platform development, and training, automation and tooling built on your own data are covered on AI integration.
