DIGITAL SERVICES

Web, eCommerce, Design & Digital Marketing

The work that puts your business in front of customers and keeps it there — website and eCommerce development, UI/UX design, digital marketing, SEO, and QA testing.

A website that was delivered, then left alone

Most agencies treat launch day as the finish line. What follows is predictable: the site slows down as content is added, plugins go unpatched, search rankings drift, and nobody can say whether any of it is producing enquiries — because nothing was ever measured.

  • A site that loads slowly on the phones most of your visitors actually use.
  • No clear picture of where traffic comes from or which pages produce enquiries.
  • Search visibility that has quietly declined without anyone noticing.
  • Content changes that require a developer, so they never get made.

Who this is for

  • Businesses whose website is a serious sales channel rather than a brochure.
  • Retailers selling online, or preparing to.
  • Organisations that inherited a site nobody currently maintains.
  • Product teams that need design or QA capacity alongside their engineering.

What we provide

Website Development

Fast, responsive, accessible sites built to your brand rather than assembled from a bought template — with a content structure your own team can edit without calling a developer.

  • Performance budgets enforced during the build, not audited afterwards
  • Clean, crawlable structure with metadata and schema configured at launch
  • Content editing and training handed over to your team

eCommerce Development

Online stores with the operational side taken seriously — product catalogues, local and international payment gateways, delivery integrations and an admin experience your staff can actually run day to day.

  • Secure checkout with the payment gateways your market uses
  • Inventory, order and delivery workflows fitted to your operation
  • Product structure built for search visibility from the start

UI/UX Design

Wireframes, prototypes and a design system your brand owns. We test the flow with real users before production code is written, because the cheapest time to find a usability problem is before it has been built.

  • Wireframes and clickable prototypes before development
  • A reusable design system rather than one-off screens
  • Accessibility considered in the design, not patched in later

Digital Marketing

Campaign work tied to outcomes you can see — with tracking configured properly first, so you can tell which channel produced an enquiry instead of guessing.

  • Conversion tracking configured before spend begins
  • Campaign and landing-page work aligned to search intent
  • Reporting on enquiries, not just impressions

SEO

Technical and on-page search work: site structure, page speed, metadata, structured data, internal linking and content aligned to what your customers actually search for.

  • Technical audit covering crawlability, speed and indexing
  • Metadata, canonical and structured-data implementation
  • Content structured around real search intent

QA & Software Testing

Independent testing for software your team or another supplier built — functional, cross-browser, device and regression testing, with defects reported in a form developers can act on.

  • Documented test plans and reproducible defect reports
  • Cross-browser and real-device coverage
  • Automated regression suites where they earn their maintenance

Ways to work with us

Build, maintain, or both. Most clients start with one and add the other once the site is live.

Design & build project

A complete project quoted against an agreed page count and feature list.

  • Fixed price and launch date
  • Custom design, no bought templates
  • Analytics and search setup at launch
  • Training so your team can edit content

Care plan

A monthly retainer that keeps an existing site healthy and current.

  • Updates, patching and backups
  • Uptime monitoring and alerts
  • An allowance of content-change hours
  • A written report each month

Rescue & takeover

For sites that were abandoned, broken or inherited.

  • Technical and security audit first
  • Malware clean-up and hardening
  • Speed and Core Web Vitals work
  • Migration to managed hosting

What we check before anything goes live

A launch checklist exists so the things that quietly cost you traffic get caught before release rather than after.

  • Cross-browser and real-device testing, not just a desktop preview
  • Core Web Vitals measured on the built site, not estimated
  • Redirects mapped from old URLs so existing search equity survives a rebuild
  • Metadata, canonical tags and structured data validated
  • Analytics and conversion tracking confirmed working before launch, not after

Digital Services — frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what clients ask before an engagement starts.

Not if the migration is done properly, and this is the single most common way rebuilds go wrong. Before anything changes we audit the existing URLs, traffic and rankings, then map every old URL to its new equivalent with permanent redirects. Content that ranks is carried across rather than quietly dropped. We plan the cutover deliberately and watch Search Console closely afterwards.

Yes, and we build for that. Content is structured so it can be edited without touching code, and handover includes training for whoever will maintain it. If you would rather not, a care plan includes an allowance of content-change hours each month.

Regularly. We start with an audit covering security, performance, hosting and code condition, and give you a straight assessment — including when the honest answer is that a rebuild would cost less than maintaining what exists. You get the audit findings either way.

Technical fixes — speed, crawlability, indexing errors, structured data — can show up in weeks. Ranking improvements from content and authority work take considerably longer, typically months, and depend on how competitive your terms are. Anyone promising specific positions by a specific date is guessing. We report on what actually changed rather than on activity.

Yes. Independent QA is often more useful precisely because we did not write the code. You get documented test plans, reproducible defect reports written for developers to act on, and an honest summary of what we found — which we deliver to you rather than negotiating it with the supplier first.
