Bespoke website development UK

A fast website you own outright,
with no WordPress and no monthly platform fee.

From £4501 to 3 weeksFixed price, paid when it works

We build bespoke websites in Next.js, designed around what your site has to do and built to be found on Google. You own the code and the domain, and there is no platform subscription. Most of our work is reporting and data automation. Websites are one of the things we also build, and the site you are reading is one of them.

Most small business websites work against their owners

  • The site takes several seconds to load on a phone, and people leave before it finishes.
  • Every time we log in there is another plugin update, and one of them broke the contact form.
  • We pay every month for hosting, a theme licence and plugins we barely use.
  • It looks like every other site built on the same template.
  • Nobody can tell us why it does not show up on Google.

Most websites sit on platforms that carry the weight of features you will never use. They load more slowly than they should, need constant patching, and look like every other site on the same theme.

A bespoke Next.js site carries none of that. Pages are built ahead of time, so there is no database query on each visit and no plugin layer to keep up to date.

A site built for the one job it has to do

A lead generation site, a portfolio, a content site and a public calculator each need a different structure. We build for the outcome you need and hand it over as something you own.

Fast pages

Next.js generates static pages that load quickly, with no database queries and no plugin overhead. Google takes page speed into account when it ranks sites.

Built for your specific goal

The structure follows what the site is for. A site that needs enquiries is laid out differently from one that needs to show a portfolio or answer questions.

No ongoing platform fees

No WordPress hosting plan, theme licence or plugin subscriptions. Hosting a static site usually costs very little, and you own the whole thing.

Search built in from the start

Structured data, canonical URLs, page metadata, a sitemap and good results on Google’s page speed scores. All of it is part of the build rather than added afterwards.

Less to attack

A static site has no database to break into, no admin login to brute-force and no plugins with security holes waiting for a patch.

Mobile first

Built responsive from the first line of code, for the phone most of your visitors are holding.

Sites we have built and run

This site is the nearest example. It carries the blog, the free tools and two paid products on one Next.js build. We also built FamilyEntitled, a calculator that tells UK families which benefits they can claim, and the marketing site and ordering flow for CVCraft AI.

From £450
Typically 1 to 3 weeks

A marketing site starts at £450. That buys a site that is fast, findable and yours. Booking, payments or a client login move the price up, and anything where your customers log in is closer to a platform build.

Most sites are delivered in one to three weeks. The biggest factor in the timeline is usually how ready the words and images are, rather than the build itself.

The price is fixed in writing before we start. If we underestimate the work, that is our cost to carry.

For a figure without a call, the build estimator itemises one in two minutes.

What moves the price

  • How many pages and page types the site needs.
  • Whether the copy is written, or we are helping shape it.
  • Booking, payments, forms that feed another system, or a client login.
  • Moving content and redirects across from an existing site.

Nothing is paid up front. You watch the finished thing work with your own data, and only then do you pay. No deposit and no retainer. How the process works →

Questions about website development

How much does a bespoke website cost?

Sites start at £450 for one that is fast, findable and yours. Booking, payments or a client login move it up. Every project gets a fixed price in writing before any work begins, and you pay once you have seen the finished site working.

How long does a website take to build?

Most bespoke websites are delivered in one to three weeks, depending on scope and how ready the content is. You get a clear timeline before any work begins.

Why do you build in Next.js instead of WordPress?

A static Next.js site loads faster, has no database or admin login to attack, and has no theme or plugin subscriptions. It also does not need a round of plugin updates every month to stay safe.

Do we own the site?

Yes. The code, the domain and the hosting account are yours. Nothing depends on a licence you have to keep paying for or on us being reachable later.

Can you move us off WordPress without losing our Google rankings?

We carry across the pages that bring in traffic and set up redirects from every old address to its new one, so search engines and old links land in the right place. Moving a large existing site adds to the price, and we quote it separately.

What happens if we need changes later?

You own the code, so any competent developer can pick it up. We quote changes separately rather than selling a retainer, and small tweaks are often quick enough that we do not charge for them.
