It is the question nobody answers on their website, so here it is. Our sites start from £499 plus VAT, we quote a fixed price before any work starts, and that price does not move unless you ask for something new. No day rates, no scope creep, no monthly fee just to keep your own site online.
You get the number in writing before anything begins. If the job grows because you want more, we agree that separately. You will never get an invoice you were not expecting.
WordPress for most business and brochure sites, Shopify when you are selling products online, and a bespoke build when neither fits. We will tell you which one your job actually needs, including when that is the cheaper answer.
The domain, the hosting, the licences and the site itself are yours and stay in your name, whichever platform we build on. We do not hold anything hostage and we do not charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of owning your own website.
A site nobody can find is decoration. Every build goes live with the page titles, headings, speed and structure already right, so your SEO is not starting from behind.
Most of the businesses that come to us in Swansea do not need something clever. They need a site that loads fast on a phone, says plainly what they do and where they do it, and makes it obvious how to get in touch. That is the whole job for the majority of local trade, professional and hospitality businesses.
Where sites go wrong locally is almost always the same few things. The phone number is an image so nobody can tap it. There is no address anywhere, so Google has nothing to tie the business to Swansea. The contact form goes to an inbox nobody checks. Half the pages are about the company and none are about the thing people searched for.
We start from what people actually search for in your trade in Swansea, then build the pages that answer those searches. That usually means fewer pages than people expect, each doing a clear job.
The platform follows from that, not the other way round. Most Swansea businesses are best served by WordPress, an online shop is usually Shopify, and now and then a job needs building from scratch. If you already have a site and it is nearly right, we will say so rather than sell you a rebuild you do not need.
We work from our studio in Swansea. You can come in, sit down and go through the design on a real screen rather than approving mockups over email and hoping for the best.
For a local business that matters more than it sounds. We can come to you and photograph the actual premises, the van, the workshop or the team, which beats stock photography every time and is one of the few things that genuinely makes a small site look credible.
It also means the practical things get sorted properly. Setting up your email on the new domain, pointing the DNS without your address going down, moving the site off whoever built it last time when they will not hand over the login. These are the jobs that stall a website project for months, and they are far easier to fix in person.
We have built and looked after websites from Swansea since 2016, for businesses here and across South Wales.
What a website needs to do changes with the trade and the part of the city it serves. A site for a Gower holiday let and a site for a Llansamlet engineering firm have almost nothing in common beyond the platform they sit on.
We also cover SEO in Swansea, Google Ads in Swansea and social media marketing in Swansea for businesses here in the city.
Professional services, hospitality and retail, where the competition all look similar online. Here the site has to do the persuading, so the copy, the proof and the speed matter more than the visual flourish.
Independent shops, salons, clinics and food businesses. Usually a small site done well, with booking or enquiry built in and the opening hours and location impossible to miss.
Trade, motor, manufacturing and B2B. Often a catalogue of what you do, clear accreditations and a phone number that works on a mobile, because most of these enquiries start from a van.
Tourism, food, weddings and holiday lets, where the photography does half the selling and availability or booking needs to be obvious. Traffic here swings hard with the season, so speed matters in summer.
From £499 plus VAT for a small business site. Most of the sites we build for Swansea businesses land between that and a few thousand, depending on how many pages you need and whether you are selling online. You get a fixed price in writing before we start.
Yes. We quote the job, not a day rate. The only time the price changes is if you ask for something that was not in the original scope, and we agree that with you separately before doing it.
Not to keep your site. You will need hosting and a domain, which are yours and typically a few pounds a month. Ongoing support and updates are optional and separate. We do not lock your website behind a subscription.
WordPress with Elementor for most business sites, Shopify for online shops, and a bespoke build where neither is right. All three are standard, widely supported platforms, so you can edit your own pages and any developer in Swansea could take the site over. WordPress alone runs a large share of the web, so you are never tied to something only we understand.
Yes, and for most Swansea businesses selling products that means Shopify. It is a different job to a brochure site, so it is covered properly on our Shopify agency page rather than here.
Some jobs genuinely need it, usually where there is a booking system, a customer portal or an integration with software you already run. It costs more than a WordPress build and takes longer, so we will only recommend it when the off the shelf route will not do the job.
Yes. We have a studio in Swansea and you are welcome to come in. We will also come out to you, which is usually better if we need photographs of your premises.
A small business site is typically three to five weeks from the point we have your content. The part that slows projects down is almost always waiting on text and photographs, so we will chase you for those early and help write them if you would rather we did.
Usually yes, including when the person who built it will not hand over the login. We can often rebuild and migrate without your email or your domain going down. Bring us what you have and we will tell you what is possible.
Every build goes live with the titles, headings, speed and structure already right, and the pages named after what people search for. That is the foundation. Competitive Swansea searches usually need ongoing SEO on top, which is a separate service and we will be honest about whether you need it.
We can. Most people find writing their own pages harder than they expect. We will draft it from a conversation with you, and you approve every word before it goes live.
Yes, that is the point of building it this way. We show you how to change text, swap photographs and add pages, and we leave you written notes for the things you will do most often.
Then say so and we will quote for that instead. If your current site is nearly right we would rather fix it than sell you a rebuild you do not need.
If you have been quoted wildly different prices by three different people and none of them explained why, come and have a coffee. I will tell you what the job actually involves and what it should cost, whether or not you use us.
Before we start, what should I call you?
