Website Design
Built Beyond the Homepage
Built with the full user journey in mind, from the first click through to conversion. Fast, accessible and easy for your team to manage long after launch.
“The new website is a huge step forward for Kandoo. It’s given us a much stronger platform to showcase our trips and makes it far easier for customers to find the right adventure. We’re really pleased with what we’ve created together.”

Platforms
We pick the platform for your business, not for our convenience
Two platforms, chosen deliberately. An agency that builds everything on one thing is telling you about their team, not about your requirements.
Content-led sites
WordPress
Where you need editorial control, complex content structures and a team who can update it without ringing us. Custom themes built to your brand — not a bought template with the colours changed. Advanced Custom Fields so editing feels obvious rather than dangerous.
- WordPress development
- WooCommerce
- Multisite
- Monthly reporting and review call
- Platform migrations
Selling online
Shopify
Where the priority is transacting reliably at volume, with the payments, tax, shipping and app ecosystem already solved. Custom Liquid themes, subscription and marketplace integrations, and a checkout you have not had to build yourself.
- Shopify development
- Shopify migration
- Ecommerce CRO
- Marketplace intergration
What's included
Everything in a website build
Discovery & user research
Who is buying, what stops them, and what the current site is losing at each stage.
Information architecture
Structure and navigation planned before a single screen is designed.
UI & UX design
Designed across four breakpoints, so mobile is not an afterthought squeezed in at the end.
Custom development
Built to your design, not adapted from a purchased theme.
Content & copywriting
Written by our content team, or structured briefs if you would rather write it yourselves.
SEO migration planning
Redirect mapping and URL planning so a new site does not cost you your rankings.
Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA
Performance optimisation
Core Web Vitals, image handling and caching configured before launch, not after a complaint.
Analytics & tracking
GA4, Tag Manager and conversion tracking configured properly on day one.
Training & handover
Recorded sessions with your team so you can actually run the thing.
Hosting & care plans
Managed hosting, updates, backups and monitoring if you want us to keep it healthy.
Ownership from day one
Domain, hosting, code and accounts all in your name. No hostage-taking.
How a build runs
Five stages, and nothing is a surprise
01
Discovery
Commercial goals, audience, current data and what the existing site loses. Two weeks.
02
Structure
Sitemap, page templates and journey mapping. Signed off before design starts.
03
Design
Key templates designed across four breakpoints. Two rounds of revision included.
04
Build & test
Development, content population, accessibility and performance testing, redirect mapping.
05
Launch & support
Migration, monitoring, training and a care plan if you want ongoing cover.
Worth knowing
Accessibility is now a procurement question
If you sell to the public sector, tender for contracts or serve a broad public audience, accessibility has moved from good practice to a box that has to be ticked before your bid is read.
Every site we build is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA. We also audit existing sites — including ones we did not build — and give you a remediation list ordered by risk rather than by ease.

Breakpoints tested on every build
Free website audit
Find out what your current site is costing you
One of our designers and one of our developers go through your site by hand — performance, accessibility, journey, mobile experience and the specific points where people are dropping out. Written report, plus half an hour to talk it through.
