Challenges

Signs your business needs a custom website

  • Plugins piled on to patch the gaps

    The website becomes bloated, plugins often conflict after updates, and it gets hard to maintain.

  • Website data isn't connected to internal systems

    Registrations or orders from the website have to be retyped into other applications.

  • Performance drops as visitor numbers grow

    Pages slow down when traffic rises, just when you need them most.

Example features

Features we can build into a custom website

  • Member or partner portals

    Logins, profiles and exclusive content for members, partners or customers.

  • Bookings and reservations

    Schedules, available slots and automatic confirmations.

  • Calculators and simulations

    Estimate prices, material requirements or instalments directly on the website.

  • Advanced search and filters

    Large catalogues that are easy to search across multiple criteria.

  • Multiple languages and regions

    Different content, prices and currencies for each region.

  • System integration

    Data flows into your CRM, ERP or internal applications without being entered twice.

Comparison

Custom website or template: the difference

Templates suit profile websites with standard features. A custom website makes sense when the features are specific or have to connect to other systems.

Template or WordPress

Choose this when

Your website covers your profile, services, articles and contact form, and needs to go live soon.

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Plenty of plugins for common needs
  • Special features need extra plugins
  • Gets heavier as plugins pile up

Custom website

Choose this when

Your website needs user logins, bookings, calculators or a connection to internal systems.

  • Features built around your workflow
  • No recurring plugin licences
  • Easy to extend in stages
  • An admin panel made for your team

If WordPress is enough for what you need, we will recommend it.

How we work

How we build a custom website

We agree the features at the start, then build them in stages with demos you can try.

  1. Discovery

    We map the features, users and data your website needs.

    Deliverable: Feature specification and estimate.

  2. Design & prototype

    You try the flow and screens as a clickable prototype before any code is written.

    Deliverable: A clickable prototype.

  3. Development

    We work in two-week sprints and show you a demo at the end of each one.

    Deliverable: A version you can try.

  4. Testing & UAT

    We test functionality, security and speed, then your team tries it out.

  5. Launch & handover

    The website goes live, your team is trained on the admin panel, and all of the code is handed over.

  6. Maintenance

    After launch we keep monitoring the system and handle fixes and new features.

How much does custom website development cost?

The cost depends on the number of features, integrations with other systems and user roles. Starting ranges are on our Pricing page, and the exact figure is set out in the proposal after discovery.

How long does it take to build a custom website?

It depends on the number of features and integrations. We give you an estimate during the consultation, and the exact schedule is set out in the proposal as a stage-by-stage timeline.

Is a custom website more expensive than WordPress?

The upfront cost is usually higher because the features are built from scratch. In return, you don't pay recurring plugin licences, and the website is easier to develop further as your needs change.

Can a custom website be built in stages?

Yes. The first version has the features you need most, and the rest are added sprint by sprint.

Can we still manage the content ourselves?

Yes. Our custom websites come with an admin panel built around your team's needs.

What technology do you use?

Usually Laravel for the back end and React for the front end, with a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. These technologies are widely used and easy for other developers to pick up.
