Planning a new website?
Here are some of the things businesses ask us before starting a website project.
How much does a bespoke website cost?
The cost depends on the pages, content, and features you need. A brochure website has a different scope from an online store or a site with custom integrations. Tell us about your business and we can prepare a proposal setting out the work, pricing, and timescales.
How long will it take to build my website?
Timing depends on the size of the site, the functionality, and how ready your content is. We set out a schedule in your proposal and take you through planning, design, development, feedback, and launch. If you have a deadline, let us know when you enquire.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. Our bespoke websites include a CMS for editing content and managing images, so you can make everyday updates without asking a developer. Online stores use Shopify's product and order management tools. We'll discuss what your team needs to manage during planning.
Explore our websites and CMSCan you redesign an existing website?
Yes. Share your current website and what you want to improve. We can review the design, content, and functionality, then agree what to keep, replace, or add. Existing page addresses and redirects should form part of the migration plan when URLs need to change.
Do you provide hosting and support after launch?
Yes. We offer website hosting, monitoring, backups, and ongoing development support. We agree the hosting and support you need as part of your proposal, and you can return to the team for updates or new features as your business develops.
Explore hosting and supportCan we meet to discuss a project?
Yes, by appointment at our Hixon studio near Stafford. We also work by phone and video call with clients throughout the UK and overseas. Please contact us before visiting; Bottle Lodge in Tixall is our postal address.
