Web Design & Development

Everything between "our website isn't working for us" and a site that does its job every day. That means page structure, help with the words, design, code, hosting, speed, search basics and a proper handover.

A good business website explains what you do in the first few seconds, loads quickly on an ordinary phone, and gives every visitor an obvious next step. Most of the work is making that true on every page, then keeping it true.

Businesses that have outgrown a template, brands that want to sell online, and teams stuck with a site nobody can update. It also suits organisations that want speed and accessibility done properly from the start.

• Business and corporate websites: clear pages that say what you do and bring enquiries.
• Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or headless commerce, where the shop's back end is kept separate from the pages shoppers see. See e-commerce development.
• Landing pages and campaign sites that load quickly and show what each campaign brought in.
• Headless CMS and Next.js builds: a simple editing tool for your team, and a fast site for visitors.
• Migration and modernisation from WordPress, Wix or Canva without losing rankings. See website migration.
• Speed and Core Web Vitals. These are the measures Google reports on how a page feels: how fast it loads, how quickly it responds to a tap and whether it jumps around. See Core Web Vitals work.
• Accessibility audits against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), with fixes.
• Website care: updates, backups and monitoring. See website care and AMC.

A website rarely works alone. Payments and customer portals sit under Application Development, and getting found sits under Search & Answer Visibility. The same team does both.

We follow The Path. Listen starts on day one: your goals, your visitors and the businesses you compete with. Shape comes before any build, with the page structure, rough layouts (wireframes) and a written scope you can hold us to. Build runs in sprints you can see, with a working demo each time. Launch happens when you are ready, after testing on real phones and browsers, and you receive every file and login. Evolve is the care that follows.

You set the pace, and we agree the schedule with you at the start. A small site moves quickly. A large store connected to other software takes longer, and we say so up front.

The TechSum Standard applies to every website we build:

• Secure by default: security headers, protected forms and up-to-date plugins from the first build, so the contact form never becomes a spam gateway.
• Built to scale: pages, content types and hosting set up so a new product line or a new market means new pages, not a new site.
• Tested before it ships: every page checked on real phones and browsers, every form sent end to end, speed measured before launch.
• Looked after after launch: updates, backups and uptime checks carry on, and every request is logged where you can see it.
• Small changes handled, not invoiced: a changed phone number, a new team photo or a broken link gets fixed. It does not become a quote.
• Honest advice, even when it means less work for us: if your site only needs a few fixes, or a template will do, you hear it before you spend on a rebuild.

It loads quickly on a phone and passes the Core Web Vitals measures. Headings are clear, and a visitor knows what to do next. Forms work and every enquiry reaches the right person. Search engines can read the pages, and so can people using screen readers.

You can also see how it performs, because analytics are set up properly from the start. Data & Analytics builds the reporting when you want more than the basics.

If you need a site live right away with no planning at all, a template service will suit you better. If your site is simple and already works, we may tell you to leave it alone and fix only what is slow or broken. You will hear that from us before you spend anything.
