Custom website design and development

Every project starts with a blank canvas.

No template to fit inside, no platform deciding what's possible. We design and build your website from scratch, around your business and the customers it's there to win. Fast, and yours to keep.

What we do

One studio. Design, build, launch.

Strategy, design and engineering under one roof, so the thinking that wins your customer carries straight through into the code.

01

Design

Layouts that start from your customer's question, not a template. Type, spacing and colour chosen so the page feels inevitable, and unmistakably yours.

  • Brand-led
  • Bespoke layout
  • Typography
02

Build

Hand-built on modern foundations, so pages load fast and score 100. Clean Next.js and React underneath: nothing a template or plugin could box in, and nothing you could not move elsewhere tomorrow.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • Core Web Vitals
03

Own & grow

The code is yours, on any host you choose. A headless CMS lets you edit your own content. And if you would rather not, an optional care plan keeps it sharp.

  • You own it
  • Headless CMS
  • Optional care

How we build

Where a custom build pulls ahead.

Flexible is easy to claim. Here is what it buys you in practice, and where a platform build cannot follow.

  • Fast, and easy to find.

    Your pages are built and served ready to read, so search engines take them in the moment they arrive. That means fast, clean indexing, on foundations made for it: Next.js, served from Vercel's edge.

    A platform decides how your pages are served. Here, you do.

  • Interaction built for you.

    Motion and detail designed by hand for your site, with GSAP and Framer Motion, always in service of the message. Not a dropdown of the same presets every template ships.

    No preset library can be truly yours. This is.

  • Yours to keep, for good.

    Clean, standards-based code that belongs to you. Move host or developer whenever you like. No one can switch it off, lock you in, or raise the rent.

    Nothing to cancel, no platform to outgrow.

Process

From first call to live site.

Four milestones, no mystery. You watch it take shape the whole way, and sign off each step before the next begins.

Tools we build with

A palette, not a checklist. We choose what each project needs.

Selected work

Built for businesses like yours.

A few of the sites we have designed and built. Each one custom, each one owned outright, each one working for the business it was built for.

Pricing

One price to build. One to stay sharp.

Clear and fixed. The site is a one-off you own outright. The care plan is optional, for owners who would rather run their business than manage a website.

The build

from
€6,000

Starting project fee, depending on project size and complexity, to be scoped and agreed upfront.

Everything from first call to live: design, build, content setup and launch on hosting that belongs to you.

  • Custom design, drawn from scratch for your business
  • Hand-built on Next.js, with no template underneath
  • Fast and accessible, built to score 100
  • A headless CMS so you can edit your own content
  • Yours to keep, on hosting you own

The care plan

Optional
from
€200per month

For owners who would rather run their business than manage a website. We host, monitor, update and report, every month.

  • Hosting, domain and monitoring handled
  • A set block of content edits each month
  • Performance, security and uptime looked after
  • A plain-English report, every month

If you're paying a designer to build your site, you can afford a custom one: no templates, no platform limits, no subscription fees.

Bigger scope, like e-commerce, multiple languages or a migration? We will give you a fixed quote after the brief.

FAQ

Asked before. Answered straight.

If you are building it yourself on a budget, a platform is a sensible choice, and we would happily tell you so. But the moment you are paying a professional either way, the maths changes. On a platform you pay a designer and then keep renting the platform on top, limits and all. With a custom build you pay once for something made entirely around your business, which you then own. You are not paying more for less, you are paying for the thing itself rather than permission to use it.
