Technologies we use

UI/UX design is where every project starts for us: research into who the visitors are and what they need, the structure of the site, wireframes, and then the visual interface in Figma for desktop and mobile. Good UX is why a visitor finds the right service in two clicks and leaves a request; good UI is why they trust the company while doing it.

We design in Figma with a component library, so development receives exact layouts and states instead of a picture. See UI/UX design services.

Figma is our design tool for wireframes, visual design, prototypes and design systems. Clients review and comment directly in the file, developers inspect exact spacing, colours and components, and the same library is reused across pages and projects. Every design we deliver comes as an organised Figma file you own.

See UI/UX design and read how we organise Figma files.

Every layout we design and build adapts to phones, tablets and desktops from the same code: fluid grids, flexible images and breakpoints chosen from real analytics rather than device lists. Most business websites now get more than half of their visitors on mobile, so the mobile version is designed first and tested on real devices before launch.

Part of every web design and development project.

We test every page on real iOS and Android devices, on slow connections and with a throttled CPU, not only in a browser's device mode. Touch targets, font sizes, image weight and layout shifts are checked against Google's mobile Core Web Vitals before a site goes live, because that is where most visitors and most rankings come from.

WordPress is the CMS behind most of the 900+ websites we have delivered since 2014: company sites, blogs, catalogues and WooCommerce stores. We build custom themes from our own designs, keep the plugin set small, and tune caching, security and Core Web Vitals so a WordPress site stays fast years after launch.

We also use WordPress headlessly, as the editor behind a Next.js front end, when speed and security matter more than page builders. See WordPress development services.

WooCommerce turns WordPress into an online store, and it is our choice for shops that need a familiar admin, a flexible catalogue and integrations with payment, shipping and accounting tools. We build custom store themes, product configurators, checkout flows and B2B pricing rules, and we optimise stores that have grown slow.

See WooCommerce development.

Elementor is the page builder we use when a client's team wants to edit and rearrange layouts themselves. We build Elementor sites on a lean base theme, create reusable templates and global styles, and keep the widget set small so the site stays fast. When a custom theme is the better choice, we say so; read Elementor vs custom WordPress development.

See WordPress theme customization.

PHP powers WordPress, WooCommerce and Laravel, which makes it the language behind most of the sites we maintain. We write custom themes, plugins and integrations in modern PHP 8 with typed code, Composer packages and automated checks, and we upgrade legacy PHP projects that still run on unsupported versions.

See custom WordPress development and plugin development.

Laravel is the PHP framework we use for custom web applications that outgrow a CMS: client portals, booking and ordering systems, dashboards and APIs. It gives us a clean architecture, authentication, queues and a large ecosystem, and pairs well with a Vue or React front end.

See framework development.

JavaScript runs the interactive part of every website we build: menus, forms, filters, calculators, animations and, with React and Node.js, whole applications. We write modern, typed JavaScript, load only what a page needs, and measure the result with Core Web Vitals so interactivity never costs speed.

For application work see Node.js and Next.js development.

HTML5 is the foundation of every page: semantic structure that search engines and screen readers understand, native video and audio, forms with built-in validation and the APIs modern browsers expose. We hand-write clean, accessible markup with the right headings, landmarks and structured data, which is where technical SEO begins.

Node.js is the back end of our JavaScript stack: REST and GraphQL APIs with Express or NestJS, integrations, real-time features and the admin panels behind Next.js websites. Our own site runs on a Node.js API that stores content, handles forms and serves images. One language across front end and back end keeps teams small and hand-offs few.

See Node.js and Next.js development.

Some projects need both worlds: a PHP back end (WordPress, Laravel or custom) and a React interface on top of it. We build the API layer between them, the React components and the deployment, so the site keeps a familiar editor while visitors get a modern, fast front end.

See React development and headless WordPress with Next.js.

Shopify is our recommendation for stores that want hosting, payments and security handled by the platform. We design and build custom Shopify themes, extend stores with apps and custom sections, migrate catalogues from WooCommerce or other platforms, and build headless Shopify storefronts with Next.js when a brand needs full design freedom.

See Shopify development.

Webflow is a hosted site builder that suits small marketing sites which a designer will maintain without developers. We build and migrate Webflow sites when the fit is right and are honest when WordPress or a custom build serves a business better; see our comparison of Webflow and WordPress in the blog.

Search optimisation is built into every site we launch: clean URLs, metadata, structured data, sitemaps, fast Core Web Vitals and content structured around the questions people actually search. After launch we track queries and positions in Search Console and adjust pages that Google finds relevant but not complete.
