Features

Every site we build is fast, secure & ready to grow.

We do all the work: design, build, hosting and care. This is what every site gets as standard.

  • Blazing fast

    Speed is built in from the first line of code. A representative production build scores 100 on Lighthouse with a 0.6s largest paint.

  • Secure by default

    Modern hosting with no plugins to patch, HTTPS everywhere and security headers set from day one.

  • Modern code

    Built on Next.js and React with a modern content system. Clean, maintained code your site can grow on.

  • Fully responsive

    Designed for phones first, then tablets and large screens. Every page works on every device.

  • Custom features

    Booking, quotes, calculators, client portals or connections to the tools you use, built into the same site.

  • Always on

    Global hosting, uptime monitoring, backups and updates, all handled by us.

Migration

Move your old site without losing its rankings.

If your site is slow, full of plugins or hard to update, we rebuild it and bring across what already works.

  • We list the pages that bring in visits and inquiries, and keep what works.
  • Every old address points to its new page, so links and search traffic follow you.
  • You review the new site on a private preview link while the old one keeps running.
  • After launch we watch Google Search Console and fix anything that breaks.

Method

One team and one process, from brief through long-term support.

  1. Discovery

    We start by talking to you about the work you want more of, who buys it and what the site has to do. We agree the pages before any design starts.

  2. Design

    Clean pages built around your projects and your people. Anything that doesn't help a buyer decide comes out.

  3. Build & deploy

    We build it to load fast on a phone and be easy for everyone to use, test the speed of every page and host it on a global network.

  4. Run & improve

    After launch we host the site, watch it and make your changes. When you want more inquiries from it, the SEO Growth Program picks up from there.

  1. Discovery & positioning

    Audience, category, voice, lead goals, competitive context. The brief that everything else answers.

  2. Information architecture

    We plan the pages and build first drafts in code, so you review the real site early.

  3. Visual design

    Page designs and photography direction, built as one consistent set of pages.

  4. Build & launch

    Modern production build using the latest web standards, full Google on-page compliance, analytics instrumented, top-tier page-speed scores. Deployed.

  5. Hosting & support

    We host it, watch it, keep it secure and make your content changes after launch.

  6. Improve as the numbers come in

    Real traffic exposes real opportunities. Monthly reviews against the numbers that matter, with prioritized improvements.

AI

Different AI models help us build your website.

Our short film introduces each model we use as one of our AI friends, from the beaver that builds with us to the owl that checks every change. See what each model does, or watch the other animated explainer videos we've made.

Questions

What firms ask before they hire us.

How much does a new website cost?

Website packages start at $9,500 (Foundation Level) and $19,500 (Growth Platform). Custom builds with portals, dashboards or other tools start at $30,000 (Authority System). Every package comes with monthly support, from $150 a month, and every price is on our pricing page.

How long does it take?

Foundation Level sites take 2-3 weeks and Growth Platform sites 3-4 weeks from the signed brief. Custom builds take 5-12 weeks, depending on scope. The slowest part is usually gathering project photos and details, so we ask for those first.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes. A redesign keeps what already works: we list the pages that bring in visits and inquiries, point every old address at its new page and watch Google Search Console after launch.

Who hosts and looks after the site?

We do. Hosting, security updates, monitoring, backups and your content changes come with every site as monthly support, so nobody on your team has to become the website person.

What do you build websites with?

Next.js and React, with Payload as the content system your team edits, on global hosting. There are no plugins to patch.

Do you work with firms in the US?

Yes. We build for firms in the US, the UK and Australia, including iknow.us in North Carolina and eco2tech.com. We're based in Madrid and take calls 9am to 5pm US Eastern time.
