Build Web Development
Fast builds. Secure foundations. Full control.
A site is only finished when your team can run it without ringing us. We build on WordPress and Shopify, keep the code clean, and hand over something you own.
The service
What is web development?
Web development in Bristol is the part nobody sees and everybody feels.
It also decides what you can do a year from now. A site built on tidy foundations can be added to. A site built in a hurry has to be replaced, usually about eighteen months after launch.
Our web development in Bristol is done in-house on WordPress and Shopify, with a content editor your team can use, and we document what we have done so you are never locked out of your own website.
Designed and built in-house Deliverables
What’s included.
The unglamorous fundamentals, done properly, because they are what search engines rank and customers trust.
WordPress development
Custom themes rather than bought ones, with an editor your team can use without training wheels.
E-commerce builds
Shopify and WooCommerce stores wired to your stock, payments and delivery from day one.
Custom functionality
The calculator, portal or booking flow your business needs and no plugin does properly.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Pages tuned to load fast on a phone signal, because that is where most of your traffic is.
Security and maintenance
Updates, backups and monitoring, so a plugin update never takes the site down quietly.
Why it matters
Slow sites lose the sale before the page loads.
Every extra second of load time costs you a share of the people who were on their way in. They do not complain, they just go back and click the next result, and nothing in your analytics tells you their names.
Good development is the cheapest lever in the whole stack. It makes your paid budget go further, gives search engines a reason to rank you, and stops your team burning hours on workarounds.

Built to convert, measured to prove it.
Web development in Bristol, built in-house and measured on whether the site holds up under real traffic.
How we work
From brief to live.
Discovery and research
Your business, your buyers and the competitors you are up against, understood before anything is designed.
Wireframes and concepts
Structure, messaging and flow agreed on paper. You see the plan before anyone writes code.
Design and build
Designers and developers working side by side in our Warmley office, on WordPress or Shopify.
Test, launch, improve
Checked across real devices, launched, then measured against leads and revenue and improved from there.
Our approach
Built in-house, documented and handed over.
The same developers who quote the work do the work, from our office in Warmley, Bristol. Nothing is passed to a contractor you never meet, and nothing is written in a way only one person understands.
At handover you get the code, the logins and a walkthrough of how to run it. If you decide to move on from us, the site goes with you.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Custom WordPress for most sites and Shopify for e-commerce. Both are ours to build properly rather than bought themes, and both leave you with a site you can edit yourself. See the Dragons Delicacy WordPress build or the Hassel Services store.
Usually. We will audit what is there first and tell you honestly whether it is worth building on or whether you would spend less starting again.
Updates, backups, monitoring and a person to call. We also keep measuring the site against leads and revenue, because launch is the start of the job rather than the end of it.
