What we build

One brief. We work out which type of project you actually need.

Most people come to us knowing they need something online but not quite sure what shape it should take. Here’s how we think about it.

01 · Marketing site
“We need to look professional online and get enquiries.”

A well-structured 3–5 page site with good copy, SEO fundamentals and a clear call to action. This is the most common starting point and where we’ve had the most impact for local South Wales businesses.

Typical costFrom £699
02 · E-commerce
“We want to sell online without paying marketplace fees.”

Stripe and PayPal built in from day one. Inventory management, order notifications and a CMS so you can add products yourself. No monthly platform fees beyond hosting.

Typical costFrom £1,499
03 · Bespoke CRM or web app
“Our business runs on spreadsheets and it’s not working.”

A custom web application built around how your team actually works. Job management, customer portals, scheduling, reporting — whatever your specific process needs. We’ve built our own and we can build yours.

Typical costPOA — scoped per project
04 · Redesign
“We have a site already but it’s embarrassing to send to clients.”

We audit what you have, keep what works and rebuild what doesn’t. Content migration, redirect mapping and re-launch — usually faster and cheaper than starting from zero.

Typical costFrom £799

Straight answers

Things you probably want to know.

Templates

We don’t use templates.

Every site is designed from scratch for your business. That means your site looks like you, not like the three other companies on your street using the same theme.

Timelines

We give you real timelines.

Most 3–5 page sites take 2–4 weeks once we have your content. We’ll tell you the exact timeline before we start and flag any delays early, not after the deadline.

Pricing

Fixed price. No surprises.

We quote upfront and hold to it. If we scope something incorrectly, that’s on us. You won’t get an invoice for 30% more than agreed because we hit an unexpected problem.

After launch

We don’t disappear at go-live.

Monthly hosting and support from £35/month covers hosting, security updates, backups and priority support. We’re the same people who built it, so support calls are fast.

FAQ

Common questions about web design in South Wales.

Can’t find your question? Drop us a message →

How much does a website cost in South Wales?

Our websites start from £399 for a single-page site. A typical 5-page business site costs £1,499 to £2,499 including design, build and launch. Bespoke software is quoted per project. All prices are fixed upfront with no hidden costs.

How long does it take?

Most business websites take 2–4 weeks once we have your content. E-commerce sites take 4–6 weeks. We give you a timeline before we start and hold to it.

Do I need to provide content?

You’ll need to provide your own copy and photos. We can help structure and edit your text, and we have stock photography available where needed. For professional photography we can recommend local South Wales photographers.

Do you provide hosting and support?

Yes. Hosting and support packages from £35/month cover hosting, security updates, backups and priority support. We don’t disappear at launch — the same team that built your site keeps it running.

Can you connect my website to other systems?

Yes. We regularly integrate with CRMs, Xero, QuickBooks, booking systems, Microsoft 365 and custom APIs. Integration is quoted as part of the project.

Are you actually based in South Wales?

Yes — we are based in Bridgend. You can come and meet us. We cover Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, the Vale of Glamorgan and the Valleys for both remote and in-person project work.
