(Services)

You shouldn’t need to speak our language to know what you’re buying.

( translated live )LCP 1.8s · CLS 0.00 — it loads before anyone doubts it

Four services, explained the way we’d explain them across a table. Where there’s real machinery behind a promise, it’s marked — open it and read the technical version.

01

Design

Live

A website that looks and works like the business you actually run.

The link does the introducing — on any screen, at any size.

You hesitate before sending someone the link.

01

We start from your business, not a template.

Before anything is drawn we work out what the site has to do: who it’s for, what it has to prove, and what someone should walk away believing.

02

Designed and built by the same hands.

There’s no handover between a designer and a developer here, so nothing gets lost in translation. It’s — which is a large part of why it stays fast.

1In technical terms

Page builders assemble a site out of generic blocks and ship the weight of all of them, whether your pages use them or not. We write the code for your site specifically, so a visitor’s browser only downloads what your pages actually need.

03

Every screen is composed, not squeezed.

means the phone version is designed as its own thing, rather than the desktop layout reflowed until it fits.

2In technical terms

Most sites are laid out once at desktop width and left to reflow on their own. We choose the type sizes, image crops and spacing for each screen size deliberately — so the composition still holds on a phone instead of merely fitting.

Included

  • Full design & build
  • Motion & interaction
  • Art-directed on every screen

Audit

Free, for now

Find out what’s actually wrong with your site — before you spend a cent fixing it.

A written report in plain language: what’s slow, what’s exposed, and what to fix first.

You’ve been told the site “needs work”. Nobody has told you what, or why it matters.

Included

  • Speed & accessibility review
  • Security posture check
  • A report in plain language

The same checks, run on a real page — one of ours
01

Send a link. That’s the whole ask.

No form to work through, no call to sit through, no access to anything of yours. Just the address of your site.

02

We run the same checks we run on our own work.

, and — three things that quietly cost you customers, tested the way we test what we ship.

1In technical terms

How long a real visitor waits before your page is usable — measured on an ordinary connection rather than a developer’s. Most people give up on a slow page long before it finishes loading, and never tell you they were there.

2In technical terms

Whether someone using a phone in bright sunlight, a screen reader, or a keyboard instead of a mouse can still get to the point of buying from you. It’s also, in large part, what a search engine reads.

3In technical terms

The ordinary ways a site ends up exposed: software left un-updated, settings left at their defaults, forms that accept more than they should. We check for what’s commonly exploited and report it plainly, without theatre.

03

You get something you can act on.

The report is ordered by what actually matters, and written to be handed to whoever looks after your site. That can be us. It doesn’t have to be.

Free, for now

Free while we’re building the service out — that’s what “free, for now” means. No obligation attached, and we don’t chase you afterwards.

The bench

Two services still in the making.
Published when they hold — not before
03

Optimization

In development

When someone asks an AI assistant instead of searching, your business should be the answer it gives.

The Optimization hero world: black ferrofluid pulled into spikes by an unseen field, in darkness

Somewhere tonight, something is answering questions about you.

Your site is structured so those answers can find you, quote you, and get your details right.

Your customers are starting to ask assistants for recommendations. You have no idea what they’re being told.

04

SEO

In development

Be found in ordinary search, without tricks that stop working.

The SEO hero world: black and gold granules clustered where the light falls

Scattered grains, gathered where the light can find them.

Foundations that keep earning, and that you’d be comfortable having explained back to you.

You’re somewhere on the third page, and nobody has ever explained to you how you got there.

Ask about progress

Not sure which of these you need?

Send us the link. The audit is free, it’s written in the same plain language as this page, and it will tell you which of these you actually need — including “none of them yet”.

Send us your site

We only publish a service once we're confident in it — that's why some of what we're building isn't listed yet.
