Starter / Landing

One landing page for a focused launch. Starter suits online presence or leads when you want a single page live quickly without a multi page build.

Pick templated, semi custom or bespoke design. Add SEO setup, Google Analytics, CRM integration, copywriting or rush delivery if you need them. Managed hosting, maintenance, backups and version control are available after launch.

  • Best for: campaigns, product launches and simple brochure sites with one clear goal
  • Scope: one unique page included in the package
  • Purpose: online presence or leads with forms and conversion focus

Brochure

Multi page static marketing sites when you want speed without a full CMS. Home, about, contact and service pages each count toward your page count. Your package includes a set number of pages, then you pay per extra page.

Ideal for online presence and leads with templated or semi custom design. Layer on SEO setup, Google Analytics, CRM integration, copywriting or extra languages as one off add ons.

  • Best for: businesses that need several marketing pages without ongoing CMS editing
  • Tip: from 10 pages we usually recommend WordPress for easier page control and a lower build cost
  • Hosting: managed or performance with SSL, DNS, monitoring, CDN, caching and staging

WordPress

A CMS for editable pages, blogs and WooCommerce. WordPress fits leads and ecommerce when you need room to grow beyond a static brochure site.

Choose templated, semi custom or bespoke design. Scope pages in the calculator, then add SEO setup, Google Analytics, CRM integration, copywriting, multilingual pages or rush delivery. Bundle managed hosting, maintenance, backups and version control for ongoing support after launch.

  • Best for: content teams, blogs, marketing sites and WooCommerce stores
  • Purpose: leads with forms or ecommerce with product catalogues and checkout scope
  • Included: discovery, responsive design, development, QA across devices and launch support

Shopify

Online stores built on Shopify for product catalogues, checkout and ecommerce from day one. Purpose switches to ecommerce automatically when you select Shopify.

Shopify sites run on Shopify's own hosting, so managed hosting is not required on your estimate. Pick your Shopify plan separately. Design can be templated, semi custom or bespoke. Add SEO setup, Google Analytics, CRM integration, copywriting, extra languages or rush delivery to the build.

  • Best for: product led brands selling online with Shopify checkout
  • Scope: pages for collections, policies, about and content around your catalogue
  • Ongoing: maintenance, backups and version control available outside Shopify's platform

Custom

Portals, apps and bespoke workflows when off the shelf platforms are not the right fit. Custom builds are scoped after discovery once integrations, permissions and technical requirements are clear.

Use the calculator to outline pages, purpose, design and add ons, then request a quote with your brief. We confirm final pricing, milestones and delivery after a discovery call. Custom development and overflow work can also be quoted at our hourly rate.

  • Best for: portals, internal tools, complex integrations and unique product logic
  • Scope: tailored page count, ecommerce, forms and CRM integration as needed
  • After launch: managed hosting, maintenance, backups and version control can be bundled
