Web Development

Web development, hand-coded and built to last.

We build websites for ambitious businesses worldwide on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or a custom stack. Every build ships fast, loads in under two seconds, and stays maintainable long after launch.

What this is

The build, from approved design to live site.

Web development here means taking a design, ours or yours, and turning it into a working website: the code, the content management, the forms, the hosting, and the launch. We write the code ourselves rather than assembling it from page builders, which is why our sites pass Google’s speed tests and most don’t.

Who it’s for: businesses whose current site is slow, fragile, or impossible to update; companies with finished designs that need building exactly as drawn; and agencies that need a reliable development arm behind their own brand.

The problem

Most websites are assembled, not built.

The typical business site is a theme from a marketplace, a page builder on top, and fifteen plugins each fixing one problem. It works, at first. Then it takes six seconds to load, breaks when a plugin updates, and no developer wants to touch it.

You can’t see any of that from the homepage. You feel it later, in hosting bills, in a hacked contact form, in the quote you get for “a small change” that turns out to require rebuilding half the site.

How we build

Written by hand, tested as it’s written.

  • Code we’d want to inherit

    Hand-written markup and styles, a lean dependency list, and structure the next developer can read. That next developer is usually us, so we have skin in the game.

  • A speed budget, enforced

    Under two seconds to load on a normal phone connection. Images sized and compressed, scripts kept honest, nothing shipped “because the theme came with it.”

  • The right platform, argued honestly

    WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom Next.js. We’ll tell you which fits and why, including when the cheaper option is the right one.

  • Accessible by default

    Proper headings, keyboard navigation, readable contrast. It’s the difference between a site everyone can use and one that quietly turns people away.

From your designs

Figma in, finished site out.

A good share of our work is building other people’s designs, precisely. Shopwise came to us as Adobe XD files from a German agency; Academic Lens, Formshort, and The Lexicon all arrived as Figma. Each shipped matching the design, at every screen size, on deadline.

If you’ve paid a designer for something good, the build shouldn’t flatten it. Ours doesn’t.

For agencies

White-label development, behind your brand.

Agencies bring us builds when their own bench is full or when a project needs more engineering than design. We work under your name, hit your deadlines, and your client never hears ours. Ask the German agency behind Shopwise. Actually you can’t, and that’s the point.

How partnering works, terms and all, is on the partners page.

Why us

What sets the builds apart.

  • The designers sit here too

    When design and development share a standard, nothing gets lost in the handover, because there isn’t one.

  • Speed is in the contract, not the brochure

    Sites are built to a load-time budget and tested against it before you ever see the invoice. The full treatment lives under Core Web Vitals.

  • You own the code

    Every line, from day one. Move hosts, hire someone else, take it in-house. No licences pointing back at us.

  • We answer after launch

    Care plans are monthly and cancellable. The team that built your site is the team that picks up.

Process

How a build runs.

  1. /01

    Scope

    What the site must do, who edits it, what it connects to. Platform recommendation comes out of this call, not before it.

  2. /02

    Quote

    One fixed price and a delivery date, in writing.

  3. /03

    Build

    Short cycles with a live preview link. You watch the site come together and flag anything early, while changes are cheap.

  4. /04

    Test

    Real phones, slow connections, screen readers, and Google’s own speed tools. Bugs die here, not in your launch week.

  5. /05

    Launch and handover

    We deploy, walk your team through the admin, and stay reachable.

“We’ve done a couple of projects together and they’re extremely knowledgeable on anything related to web development: front end, back end, all of it.”

Common questions

All services

Every build is quoted individually — e-commerce, web applications, and multilingual sites included. The price is fixed in writing before work starts.

Short version: WordPress for content-heavy sites your team edits, Webflow for marketing sites edited visually, Shopify for product stores, WooCommerce for commerce inside WordPress, and custom code when nothing off the shelf fits. The platform pages linked above go deeper on each.

Yes, and we do it constantly. Send Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch files and you’ll get the site built to match at every screen size. Four of the projects in our portfolio were exactly this.

Our builds target load times under two seconds and PageSpeed scores of 98 or higher. That’s not a hosting trick; it comes from writing lean code and refusing to ship bloat.

Yes. We build under your brand, communicate however you prefer, and stay invisible to your client. See the partners page for how engagements run.

You can, since you own everything and the admin is built to be usable. Or a monthly care plan keeps us on it: updates, backups, monitoring, and priority fixes.

Fully, from the day the project completes. Repository, assets, content, all of it. No proprietary platform and no exit fee.
