How it runs
Launch is stage five of seven.
01
Discovery call
We work out what the site has to achieve and who it is talking to.
02
Structure
The pages, what each one is for, and what a visitor should do next.
03
Design
Real screens, not a mood board. You approve the look before a line of code is written.
04
Build
The design becomes a working site, on a private link you can watch come together.
05
Launch
Domain, hosting and redirects from your old pages, handled end to end, so you keep the rankings you have.
06After launch
Analytics
Your own login to see what people searched to find you, where they landed and how many got in touch.
07After launch
Ongoing support
We keep maintaining and extending the site. We are not interested in building something and disappearing.
Recent work
Web design and development: common questions
Do you use WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?
No. We write the site in code, so there are no theme licences, no plugin subscriptions and no updates that quietly break the layout. If you are already on one of those and it is working for you, we will say so rather than talk you into a rebuild.
How much does a website cost?
Websites start at £1,079. What moves it from there is the number of pages, how much bespoke design is involved, and whether the site needs to handle things like payments, bookings or logins. Each project is quoted individually and the price is fixed in writing before starting. No monthly lock-ins.
How long does it take?
A typical small-business site takes a few weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger builds with custom functionality take longer. In our experience the timeline is usually set by how fast content and photos arrive, so we agree a schedule up front and keep you posted.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes, for the parts you will actually want to change. We set up editing where it is useful, such as your work, posts or prices, and leave the structural design alone so it cannot be accidentally broken. We walk you through it at handover.
Do I own the site at the end?
Yes, outright. You get the source code and the hosting in your name. There is no arrangement where the site stops working if you stop paying us, and you are free to take it elsewhere.
What happens to my search rankings when the new site launches?
We map your existing pages to the new ones and put redirects in place at launch, so the value the old URLs have built up carries across instead of being thrown away. It is the step most rebuilds skip, and it is why some sites lose traffic after a relaunch.
Do you work with businesses outside Edinburgh?
Yes. The studio is in Livingston and we work across West Lothian, Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland, with clients further afield too. Local projects tend to get an in-person start, everything else runs perfectly well over calls.
Can you help after launch?
Yes. We keep maintaining and extending the sites we build, and most of our clients come back for the next piece rather than starting again with someone new. We are not interested in building something and disappearing.
