Web Development
We build fast, simple to use WordPress websites that give you complete control over your content, SEO, and future growth.
We not only design and build websites for our own clients, but are used by design agencies across Reading with no in-house developers, to turn their designs into pixel-perfect websites.
WordPress is our CMS (Content Management System) of choice. With over 15 years of experience using WordPress, we know it inside out.
Why use us instead of another web development agency?
Simplicity
One thing you’ll really value is how simple we make your editing experience.
Websites that are difficult to update don’t get used.
You’ll love your website because it will be simple to add, edit and delete content.
Transparency
We break down all development costs for you.
You can have it all, or pick and choose what suits your budget.
Then you can bring in other functionality down the road as our websites are highly scalable.
Communication
You’ll be working with an agency who are pro-active when it comes to communication.
And of course when you ring our phone, we always answer.
A development solution for all budgets
When it comes to web development we have a solution for all budgets with our three distinct offerings.
Headless WordPress
Blazingly fast static pages built using a JavaScript frontend with WordPress acting as your CMS.
Traditional WordPress
Staying within the traditional PHP WordPress ecosystem to provide you with complete control over your website.
Flexible Web
A selection of web Lego blocks that allows you to build a stunning website for your business.
What’s your preferred flavour…of CMS editing experience?
Our clients have different preferences when it comes to their editing experience, so we cater both for those who just want to focus purely on content and those who like a more visual representation whilst populating their site.
Classic
In this setup, the visual aspect of the website is completely separate from the content. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the content, knowing that what is displayed on the front end will look visually stunning.
Gutenberg Blocks
If you prefer to see visually how your site will look, whilst you are populating your content, then this is the option for you.
Things you’ll love about our web development process
All of our websites are mobile friendly / responsive.
You can be confident that regardless of the device that your visitors are using to visit your site, e.g. laptop, tablet, mobile, they will get a consistent but tailored experience.
Content Mangement System (CMS)
Web development is also the point at which we integrate your CMS into your website which will allow you to update your site as and when you see fit and with ease.
If you have a device with an internet connection then you can update your site.
We use WordPress as our CMS of choice. This is because it is:
- Fast to develop with.
- Easy to maintain.
- Incredibly intuitive for the person who will be udpating the site.
- The most SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) friendly CMS. Think lots of organic traffic from Google.
Development Sites
You won’t have to wait till the day before your site goes live to see how your website looks.
We allow you to track the development of your website from the very beginning rather then waiting for a big reveal at the end.
This approach is great because because it allows you to see how your website is progressing, test it and feedback to us.
Compressing Code
Where possible we compress the code we upload to the server. This reduces the amount of calls made to the server and speeds up the site.
Image Optimisation
As standard we optimise all of your images before uploading them to your site. This allows your site to load quicker which keeps your visitors happy.
Google Analytics / Google Search Console
If you want to track visitors to your sites via Google Analytics then you’ll be pleased to hear that we add this as standard.
Google Search Console allows you to make smart decisions as to what content is and isn’t working for your site. It can also reveal some unexpected niche areas that can generate additional traffic for you.
Social Media Integration
We can of course integrate your social media account into your site although we recommend that you take a look at our article on why that might not be such a great idea.
Anything else you fancy?
Maybe you want some animations, perhaps you’re looking to start a blog, online community or ecommerce store.
Whatever your requirements, we can fulfill them.
Take a look at our portfolio to see what you can expect from us.
And remember, you don’t necessarily have to have had your website designed with us although of course we offer a web design service.
We’re more than happy to develop websites based on a set of visuals that are supplied to us.
