Who we are

A small studio with senior-only craft.

 

We’re a custom-first studio of developers, designers and strategists. Every project we ship is hand-built for performance, accessibility and SEO from line one of code — no off-the-shelf templates, no compromises.

 

  • Custom-coded, not page-built
  • Accessible by default (WCAG AA)
  • SEO baked in from day one

Why custom development

Templates are cheap. Trust is not.

 

Here’s what custom code does differently.

 

  • Blazing speed: Hand-tuned code beats bloated templates on every Core Web Vitals metric.
  • Future-proof: Your codebase grows with you — no plugin spaghetti, no painted-in corners.
  • Unique design: We design with your brand, not around a theme’s limitations.
  • Conversion-focused: Every section earns its place against measurable goals.

Projects we're proud of

Every project tells a story of collaboration, creativity, and problem‑solving. These are the solutions we’re most proud of — crafted with care, built for impact, and designed to make a difference.

Two builds, documented end to end

  • Evidenced result

    A decade of legacy code replaced with a B2B platform the team can run themselves. Quote-to-order with purchase order validation and duplicate detection, SKU and OEM reference search that tolerates part numbers typed from memory, and a content workflow that no longer needs a developer on standby.

  • Evidenced result

    A catalogue scattered across Instagram posts and WhatsApp broadcasts replaced with a real WooCommerce storefront. Browsing by occasion and box size, visible pricing on every product, and a cart that closes out in a pre-filled WhatsApp message rather than a checkout form the owner never wanted.

Frequently asked questions

No. Every site we ship is hand-coded. Page builders pile on markup and JavaScript that slow pages down, and they tie you to one vendor. We build custom themes powered by Advanced Custom Fields instead, so editing stays simple while the front end stays fast.

Yes. Every section is an ACF-powered block with clearly labelled fields, so you are editing content rather than code. There is no HTML to wrangle, no shortcodes to hunt down, and no way to accidentally break the layout.

Included. We build to WCAG AA by default: semantic markup, full keyboard navigation, sensible colour contrast and screen-reader support. That happens from the start, rather than bolting on an accessibility overlay after launch.

Five stages: discover, design, develop, test and support. We agree scope and timings up front, then show you working demos as we go, so you always know where the project stands.

Most marketing sites go live 2–4 weeks after sign-off. A WooCommerce store, or a build with custom functionality and integrations, usually runs 6–8 weeks. You get a target date with the quote and demos along the way, so you can see it tracking. The thing that moves the date most is content: the faster copy, images and feedback come back, the faster we ship.

We stay on call. Our WordPress care plans cover WordPress and plugin updates, security monitoring and performance checks, plus a hand whenever you want to add something new. That care is bundled into our pay monthly websites if you would rather have the build and the upkeep in one monthly figure.
