Bespoke website builds and redesigns
We build websites around what your customers need to do: understand your services, make an enquiry, book or pay. Based in Leeds and working across the UK, we create each site for the business rather than fitting the business into a theme.

Read the project storyWhat's included
- A page plan around your services and the actions visitors need to take, agreed before design starts.
- Bespoke page designs and a responsive build, reviewed as working pages on desktop and mobile.
- Content migration and a redirect plan for existing URLs where the scope replaces an older site.
- Enquiry forms, booking or payment integrations named in the proposal, with delivery checks before launch.
- Page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, a sitemap and relevant structured data as part of the build.
- Editable areas agreed around your needs, plus account access, handover and three months of support.
How it runs
- 1
Scope and page plan
We start with a call about what the site has to do, who is arriving, what you want them to do, and what happens to an enquiry once it lands. If there is an existing site we inventory it first: every page, every URL, everything worth keeping. You get a page-by-page scope and a fixed price before any work starts. If a rebuild is not the answer, we say so at that point rather than after you have paid for one.

Design
Type, colour and spacing are settled first, then the templates carrying the most weight, usually the homepage, a service page, and whichever page the enquiry comes from. You review these as working pages in a browser on real devices, not as flat images, so what you sign off is what actually ships. Revisions happen here, while changing something still costs an afternoon rather than a rebuild.
- 3
Build and migration
The remaining pages are built out, content is moved across from the old site, forms are wired to their server-side pipeline, and structured data goes in. On a replatform the redirect map is written and checked one address at a time against the URLs the old site already had indexed, so nothing that was previously findable lands on a 404.
- 4
Launch and afterwards
We deploy, confirm the redirects resolve, check the forms deliver to a real inbox, and submit the sitemap. Then we show you the parts you control (the admin portal, the database-backed copy, whatever applies to your build) and leave you with them. Changes after launch are normal, and we stay on for them.
This is a good fit if
- Businesses on WordPress, WooCommerce or a page builder where the site has become slow, awkward to change, or held together by plugin overhead nobody chose deliberately.
- Businesses whose website has a job beyond looking presentable, capturing and qualifying enquiries, quoting, taking bookings, or publishing regularly without a developer in the loop.
- Consultancies and specialists whose expertise is the product, and who need the site to demonstrate it rather than assert it. That is why FTC's site carries calculators, scored self-assessments and a CPC mock exam instead of another page explaining why to choose them.
- New or pre-trading businesses that need a site reading as established from day one, a consultancy launching a practice, or a facility that does not open until autumn 2026.
Probably not, if
- If you want a handful of pages online next week on a small budget, Squarespace or Wix will do that, and we would be the wrong place to spend the money. Everything here is written from scratch and priced accordingly.
- If you have an internal marketing team who want to own the site day to day inside a mainstream CMS, we are a poor fit. We build mostly static sites with narrow admin areas covering the specific things you told us you would need to change; anything outside that comes back to us.
- If you need a retail store with a large catalogue, stock levels, variants, returns and marketplace integrations, we have not built one. Our commerce work is service booking and payment (pricing a skip and taking the money for it) not a shop.
Before you get started
What does a website build or redesign cost?
We quote a fixed fee after agreeing the scope. Page types, content migration, online payments, booking rules and editable areas all affect the work. Send your current website and what needs to change; we can identify the questions needed to price it. When purchased alongside a bespoke CRM, a website redesign typically adds £1,000–£2,000. That combined-project offer is not our standalone website price. Hosting and ongoing support are explained separately.
Can you rebuild an existing website?
Yes. We start with what needs to stay: useful content, current URLs, customer journeys and integrations. The Leeds and Wakefield Skip Hire rebuild replaced two WooCommerce sites with one shared booking backend and mapped previously indexed pages through permanent redirects.
How long will the project take?
We agree a delivery plan with the scope. Content readiness, the number of page types, integrations and feedback affect the schedule. You see working previews during the build, so decisions can be made before launch.
What happens after launch?
Three months of support and bug fixes are included. After that, hosting, updates and improvements run on a monthly plan agreed around your needs. The proposal sets out account access, handover, editable areas and any third-party costs before you commit.
Want a price for this?
Tell us what you need. We aim to reply within one working day, then agree the scope and a fixed price before work starts.
