What web development technologies do you specialise in?+
We work across the full stack, React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular on the frontend; Node.js, Python/Django, PHP/Laravel, and Java/Spring Boot on the backend; WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow for platform builds; and PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB for databases. Stack selection is driven by your SEO, editorial, scaling, and integration requirements, not a default preference.
How do you approach existing websites that need a rebuild?+
We start with a technical and SEO audit: current traffic, indexed pages, inbound links, redirect chain health, page speed, analytics coverage, and CMS complexity. This determines the migration strategy, phased replacement, strangler pattern, or lift-and-shift, and defines rollback criteria and SEO continuity requirements before build starts.
What is a typical project timeline for web development?+
A marketing website with CMS typically takes 6–10 weeks from discovery to launch. A custom web application with backend, auth, integrations, and admin takes 12–20 weeks depending on scope and integration complexity. We scope per-project and publish milestones at kickoff so there are no surprises.
How do you ensure the website performs well on mobile and for SEO?+
Performance is designed in, not retrofitted. We set Core Web Vitals budgets during architecture, enforce them via CI Lighthouse checks, use server-side rendering or static generation where it benefits SEO, and optimise images, fonts, and scripts by default. Mobile-first responsive design and crawl-accessible routes are part of every project.
Do you build on platforms like WordPress and Shopify, or only custom?+
Both. Platform-based builds (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) make sense when editorial control, ecosystem, and speed-to-market matter more than full custom flexibility. Custom builds suit unique workflows, complex integrations, multi-tenant systems, or products that will be extended heavily after launch. We recommend based on your specific needs, not our preferred stack.
What does the code handover include?+
A full handover includes: the production repository with branch structure and CI/CD pipelines, deployment runbooks, environment variable documentation, API contract docs or OpenAPI specs, CMS training if applicable, monitoring configuration, and a knowledge-transfer session. The goal is that your internal team, or any future company, can run and extend the codebase without us.
How do you handle security in web development?+
Security is embedded rather than audited at the end. We follow OWASP Top 10 guidelines, use parameterised queries, enforce least-privilege access, manage secrets via environment variables or secrets managers, scan dependencies for CVEs in CI, configure HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and document credential ownership. For regulated industries, we can produce a security-focused delivery checklist.
Can you build internal tools, customer portals, and dashboards, not just marketing sites?+
Yes, and this is a large share of our work. Internal tools, customer portals, admin dashboards, reporting systems, and SaaS backends follow the same architecture standards as public-facing products: typed APIs, role-based access, observability, CI/CD, and documentation.
What happens after launch?+
All projects include a 2–4 week stabilisation window at no additional cost. After that, we offer Managed Services for ongoing maintenance, performance reviews, feature additions, and monitoring. Clients can also take full ownership, the handover documentation is designed to support that.
How do you price web development?+
We offer project-based pricing for scoped deliverables and retainer models for ongoing build or managed services. Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and timeline requirements. We provide a detailed proposal after a discovery call. See our Pricing page for engagement model details.
