WordPress or Next.js — which one do I need?

If you want to edit the site yourself and the budget matters, WordPress. If it needs to do something complex, handle a lot of traffic, or feel like an app, Next.js. We will tell you which one on the first call, and we have no incentive to push you toward the expensive one.

How long does a website take?

A simple marketing site is two to three weeks. A bigger site with custom features is four to six. A web app is two to four months. The honest answer depends on how quickly you get us content and feedback — that is usually the bottleneck, not us.

Can I edit the website myself afterwards?

Yes, that is the point. We set up the CMS so you or your team can change text, images, blog posts and pages without touching code — no technical knowledge needed. We also do a training call at handover and record it.

Will my site rank on Google?

We build the technical foundation properly — fast loading, clean URLs, schema, sitemaps, mobile-first. That is what Google needs to read your site. Ranking also depends on content and competition, which is a longer game, and we will be straight with you about that.

What if I already have a website?

We redesign and migrate all the time. We map your existing URLs to the new ones so you do not lose the rankings you already have, which is the part most agencies get wrong.

All of it. Repository, hosting, domain, CMS logins, documentation. No licence fees and no lock-in.

Website development that does not fall apart

WordPress, Next.js, Webflow, Wix, Shopify — we pick whichever one actually fits your budget and how you work, then build it properly. Fast to load, easy to edit, and search engines can read every page.

Most websites fail in one of three ways

They are slow. Every extra second of load time costs you visitors, and Google notices too.

They are impossible to update. Change a phone number and you are emailing a developer and waiting three days.

They were never really finished. The developer disappeared, nothing is documented, and nobody knows how anything works.

We build for the opposite of all three.

What is actually included

Clickable prototype first

Built with AI design tools. You approve every screen, then we build it out on your CMS — no surprises.

Pixel-perfect responsive

The layout holds up on every device — phone, tablet, laptop, wide monitor. No broken spots.

Speed and security

Core Web Vitals in the green and the site hardened against attacks — both requirements, not afterthoughts.

Edit it yourself

Change text, images and pages yourself — no code, no developer, no technical knowledge needed.

Technical SEO built in

Schema, sitemaps, meta tags, clean URLs. Standard, not an upsell.

Full handover

CMS admin logins and hosting for managed sites, or the full source code and repository for custom builds. You own all of it.

Every kind of website we build

WordPress development

Most of our website work is WordPress, and we are not embarrassed about it. It runs 40% of the web because it works — you can edit it without a developer, the plugin ecosystem solves problems you have not hit yet, and hosting is cheap. We build with proven plugins where they fit, and custom themes and plugins where they do not. Custom WordPress work has a reputation for being expensive — done right, with the correct plugins, it does not have to be, and you never get a bloated page-builder template that takes eight seconds to load.

E-commerce & online stores

Stores built to sell, not just to display. WooCommerce when you want to own everything and keep the fees low, Shopify when you want it hosted and handled. We build the storefront, wire up payments and shipping, and shorten the checkout so more carts actually turn into orders.

Next.js & React web apps

When a site needs to do more than sit there — dashboards, logged-in areas, real-time data, thousands of pages — we build it in Next.js. Custom web apps on Node and Express, a Prisma data layer over PostgreSQL or MongoDB, authentication with Clerk, and real-time features when you need them. This is where we go when the template approach runs out.

Headless CMS builds

The best of both worlds, and it works for any kind of site. You edit content in a friendly CMS while a fast custom front end renders it — WordPress, Sanity, Strapi or Contentful handling the content, a Next.js site serving it. Your team publishes without touching code, visitors get an app-fast site.

Webflow & Wix development

For marketing sites where design matters more than logic, and you want to move fast without touching code. Webflow and Wix both give you a visual editor without the WordPress plugin mess. Good for landing pages, brochure sites, and design-led brands.

Website redesigns

You already have a site. It is dated, slow, or embarrassing. We rebuild it without losing your rankings — redirects mapped, URLs preserved, content migrated properly instead of copy-pasted.

RedesignMigrationRedirects

Website migration

Moving from Wix to WordPress, switching hosts, or consolidating a few old sites into one. We migrate your content and set up redirects, then cut over without downtime or losing the rankings you already have.

Landing pages

One page, one job, built to convert. Usually live in under a week. Common for product launches, ad campaigns, and testing an idea before committing to a full site.
