Website development
Websites that work for your audience and your team
We build custom websites that bring considered design, useful functionality and manageable content together. From a focused brand website to a product catalogue, festival platform or service used by several audiences, we shape the build around what your organisation needs to do.
Start with the job the website needs to do
We begin with the people using the website and the team responsible for it. What do visitors need to find? Which actions matter? Where does the current experience create extra work?
Those questions shape the structure, functionality and technical approach. Our work spans React and Next.js, Statamic, Sanity and Shopify. We choose the platform around the project, its content and the people who will maintain it.
Carry the design through
We work closely with designers, studios and agencies to translate a visual direction into a working website. Layout, typography, imagery, navigation and motion all need to hold together as the content changes and the screen gets smaller.
That includes the details people notice as they use a site: how a menu opens, how a filter responds, how a page moves and how an interaction helps them understand what to do next. The aim is to carry the character of the design through the whole experience.
Make publishing fit your team
A useful CMS reflects the way your organisation works. We build content structures and editing tools around the things you publish, whether that means products, projects, events, venues, resources or long-form stories.
Reusable page sections give editors room to shape a page within a consistent design. Connected records allow information to appear wherever it belongs, so a venue address or event description can be updated in one place. Publishing controls, permissions and previews can support teams with different responsibilities.
The result is a website your team can keep useful as its content grows.
Help people find their way
Large websites need clear routes through their content. We develop search, filters, directories, interactive maps and location finders that help people narrow their choices and reach something relevant.
That might mean finding a product by material, exploring a festival by date and venue, locating a nearby stockist or choosing a learning resource for a particular class. Schedules, saved selections and shareable filtered views can turn a browsing session into a practical plan.
We build these tools around the decisions your audience needs to make.
Connect interest with action
A website often needs to do something with the interest it creates. We build enquiry forms, booking journeys, ticketing connections, donation flows and payment experiences that help people take the next step.
Behind the interface, we connect those actions to the systems your team uses. Booking information can create a CRM record. A payment can trigger a receipt. Program data can flow from a ticketing platform into the CMS.
Our integration work includes platforms such as Ferve and Stripe, alongside booking, email marketing and business systems. Each connection is shaped around the information that needs to move and what should happen next.
Bring commerce and member services into the experience
For organisations selling online, we build and extend Shopify stores with custom themes, product discovery tools, subscriptions and integrations. Content, bookings and commerce can work together within the same customer journey.
We also develop member portals, account areas and administrative tools for services that need more than a public website. Renewals, payments, ticket entitlements and everyday account changes can become tasks people manage themselves, with staff tools supporting the work behind them.
These capabilities can form part of a larger website project or be developed as a focused piece of work.
Improve what you already have
A useful next step can be a focused improvement to an existing website. We work on inherited builds, add functionality, refine mobile journeys and help teams resolve the limitations that have accumulated over time.
When a rebuild or platform change is needed, we plan the move as carefully as the new experience. Content imports, URL mapping, redirects and metadata help carry important material into its new home. Larger projects can bring several websites into one connected platform while preserving clear paths to the content people rely on.
Pay attention to the foundations
Page speed, accessibility and technical SEO influence how well a website serves its audience. We consider them throughout the build, from content structure and image delivery to keyboard navigation, focus behaviour, reduced motion and mobile use.
We test important journeys across screen sizes and browsers, and plan hosting, caching and deployment around the platform. Content teams can review work in a preview environment before it reaches the public site.
These decisions support the experience today and make future changes easier to manage.
Keep improving after launch
We stay involved as websites change. Ongoing work can include technical maintenance, CMS updates, new features, integration changes and improvements informed by analytics and user feedback.
For some clients, that means regular development alongside their team. For others, it means a defined project to address a particular problem. We agree the support around the website and the work it needs to do next.
