What you get
A site that is built properly.
No templates and no surprises. Every site is designed for your business and tested on the devices your customers use.
Hand-coded
We code every site by hand, then test it on phones, tablets and desktops until the look and the function are right.
Mobile-first
Designed for the phone first, then scaled up to tablets and desktops, so it works wherever people open it.
Quick to load
Lean pages and sized images, so visitors are not left waiting.
Easy to update
Built so that changing a price, a photo or a paragraph does not need a rebuild.
Set up to be found
Page titles, descriptions and local search markup are set up properly from the start, so search engines understand who you are and where you work.
Online shops
Shops built around your products, from £5,000. The Alchemist shop has 27 product pages.
See it before you commit
A homepage mock-up within about fourteen days. If the design is not right, you do not move forward and you do not pay.
Fixed quotes
The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden fees and no surprises on the invoice.
Recent websites
Local businesses we look after.
Every one of these started with the same plan and ended with a site the client is proud to use.
How a project runs
Four steps, no guesswork.
A typical website takes six to ten weeks, and most of that is waiting for words and pictures. Send them early and it moves faster.
