The right platform
for your business

We're not tied to one platform. We build on whatever's right for your situation — then make sure it's fast, found on Google, and easy for you to manage.

Shopify

The best platform for eCommerce, full stop.

Shopify is what we recommend for most product-based businesses. It's built specifically for selling online — inventory management, payment processing, shipping integrations, and discount codes are all built in and work reliably. You're not cobbling together plugins and hoping they don't conflict.

What we build with Shopify

  • Custom Shopify themes built from scratch — not modified templates
  • eCommerce stores with full product catalogue architecture
  • Collection pages optimised for SEO and conversion
  • App integrations: reviews, loyalty, email marketing, subscriptions
  • Headless Shopify storefronts for maximum performance
  • Shopify POS setup for businesses selling in person too
  • Migration from WooCommerce or other platforms to Shopify

Who it's right for

  • Businesses primarily selling physical products
  • Brands that want reliable infrastructure without managing hosting and updates
  • Businesses processing significant order volumes
  • Founders who want to manage inventory and orders through a clean dashboard
  • Anyone who wants dropshipping or print-on-demand integration
Honest caveat: Shopify costs from ~£25/month plus transaction fees. It's a subscription, not a one-time purchase. If budget is tight, WordPress may be more economical long-term.

WordPress

The most flexible CMS in the world, used properly.

WordPress powers roughly 40% of the internet — not because it's the easiest platform, but because it's the most flexible. Done well, a WordPress site can do virtually anything. Done badly, it's slow, insecure, and a nightmare to maintain. We build WordPress sites that are fast, secure, and that you can actually manage yourself.

What we build with WordPress

  • Custom-designed WordPress sites — no bloated page builders
  • WooCommerce stores for businesses that want full ownership
  • Content-heavy sites: news, resources, knowledge bases
  • Membership and subscription sites
  • Service business sites with quote forms and booking integrations
  • Multi-language sites for businesses serving international customers
  • WordPress performance optimisation (fixing slow sites)

Who it's right for

  • Businesses that need a blog or content hub alongside their shop
  • Anyone who wants maximum SEO flexibility
  • Businesses with specific functionality that needs custom development
  • Founders who want to own their platform outright — no monthly platform fee
  • Businesses migrating away from Shopify who need more content flexibility
Honest caveat: WordPress requires more maintenance than Shopify — plugins, updates, and security need managing. We can handle this for you, or train you to do it yourself.

Astro

Modern static site generation. Performance-first by design.

Astro is what we use to build this site. It's a modern static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default — meaning your pages load as fast as pure HTML but you get the developer experience and component architecture of a modern framework. It's ideal for content-heavy sites, marketing sites, and any project where performance matters.

What we build with Astro

  • Marketing and brochure sites with excellent Core Web Vitals scores
  • Blog and content platforms with built-in Markdown support
  • Portfolio and agency sites
  • Documentation sites
  • Headless CMS frontends (paired with Contentful, Sanity, or similar)
  • Sites that need React or Vue components for specific interactive sections

Why Astro stands out

  • Ships static HTML — the fastest possible output for the browser
  • Integrates with any headless CMS for content management
  • Component-based development makes maintenance easier
  • Ideal when you want the speed of static HTML with the structure of a framework
  • Excellent SEO foundations out of the box

Custom / Bespoke

When off-the-shelf doesn't cut it.

Some businesses have requirements that no platform template can handle. Custom integrations with internal systems, unusual product configurations, specific UX flows that don't fit standard eCommerce patterns, or performance requirements that need a bespoke architecture. For those projects, we build from scratch.

What "custom" means in practice

  • Headless eCommerce: Shopify or WooCommerce backend, custom frontend for maximum performance
  • Web applications: booking systems, configurators, calculators, dashboards
  • API integrations with CRMs, ERPs, stock management systems
  • Custom checkout flows and payment integrations
  • Multi-vendor marketplaces
  • Subscription and membership platforms

When to choose custom

  • Your business process doesn't fit standard platform flows
  • You need deep integration with internal business systems
  • Performance is critical and existing platforms can't deliver it
  • You're building something that will need to scale significantly
Honest caveat: Custom builds cost more and take longer than platform-based sites. We'll always tell you if a platform like Shopify or WordPress can deliver what you need — we won't push custom development when it isn't necessary.
