Sound familiar?

Your website's become part of the problem.

Most business websites don't fail overnight. Pages get bolted on, plugins go stale, and the site slowly stops reflecting the business behind it.

01

It's a pain to update

An ageing WordPress or Joomla setup, inherited plugins and a back end nobody wants to touch.

02

Nobody can find anything

Years of added pages and duplicated services, organised around the past rather than how customers search today.

03

It's stopped selling you

It doesn't explain what you do now, doesn't show your best work and doesn't give people a reason to get in touch.

Honest advice first

Repair, rebuild or move.

Not every website needs binning. We check what's under the bonnet first, then tell you straight which route makes sense.

  • Repair it

    If the foundations are sound, we reorganise pages, fix the navigation, sharpen the content and modernise the design without starting again.

  • Rebuild it

    If the site is holding you back, we plan a new structure around your services and customers, rather than copying the old one into a new theme.

  • Move it

    Switching platform? Content, redirects and rankings are moved across carefully. We build with both WordPress and Joomla, so you get the right fit, not the one we happen to prefer.

“He offered that personal approach, which is what I was after.”

He kept in touch from start to finish, checking that I was happy with the new site. A pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Across Oxfordshire

One county. Very different markets.

A consultancy in Oxford, a builder in Banbury and a holiday let in the Cotswolds aren't chasing the same customers. Each site is planned around the market you actually serve.

Oxford & the south

Professional firms, consultants, science and tech businesses that need detailed service pages and serious credibility. From Headington clinics to city-centre consultancies, see my web design in Oxford city.

Market towns

Trades, service companies, retailers and property businesses that need clear local targeting and a quick route from search to enquiry.

Rural & the Cotswolds

Venues, accommodation, makers and countryside businesses that need atmosphere, strong imagery and clear booking information.

How it works

Planned properly, not just prettied up.

A nice layout won't fix unclear services or a site Google can't make sense of. Design, content and SEO are planned together from day one.

01

Keep what works

Rankings, traffic and enquiry routes are checked first, so pages that already bring in work aren't lost in the rebuild.

02

Structure before styling

Services, customer journeys and calls to action are mapped out before any design starts.

03

SEO built in

Titles, internal links, local relevance, speed and schema are part of the build, not a job for later.

04

A site your team can run

Simple editing, sensible permissions and training on your own finished site, with calls and forms tracked after launch.

Questions

Before you rebuild anything.

Do you work across the whole of Oxfordshire?

Yes. We've built websites for businesses in Oxford, Witney, Banbury, Abingdon, Didcot, Bicester and the villages in between, as well as across the Cotswolds. Most projects run on calls and screen shares, so where you're based in the county makes no difference.

What kind of Oxfordshire businesses do you work with?

Mostly established service businesses: trades, professional firms, consultants, architects, and science and tech companies around the Oxford and Didcot corridor. Also venues and rural businesses in the Cotswolds. What they have in common is a website that needs to bring in enquiries, not just look nice.

Will we lose our Google rankings?

Not if it's done properly. Pages with useful rankings, backlinks and traffic are identified before anything changes, then redirects, content and internal links are planned so nothing valuable gets dropped at launch.

Should we use WordPress or Joomla?

It depends on who'll be updating the site and what it needs to do. We build with both, so the recommendation is based on your business, not our preference.

Can you move content from our old website?

Yes. Content is reviewed, tidied and moved across as part of the project. Outdated or duplicated pages aren't copied over automatically.

Can our team update the site themselves?

Yes. Editing is set up around the jobs your team actually does, with user permissions that keep technical settings out of harm's way, plus training on your finished site.

Start with the website you've got.

Send over your web address and what's bugging you. We'll tell you honestly whether it needs a fix, a rebuild or nothing at all.
