Web design for a new site, built to be found.
A new site is the one moment when everything can be right from the first line: the structure, the speed, the words on each page and the data that shows what is working. We design and build websites around the searches your customers make and the competitors already answering them, so the site launches ready to compete.
From £1,800
A new site of up to five pages, built and measured to the standard on our release page, for a business competing in one area.

What a new website includes
A page plan drawn from search
Every service, product and location you want to be found for is mapped to a page before design begins, so no page is an afterthought.
Design that earns the enquiry
Clear within seconds about what you do and where, with the call, the form or the basket exactly where a visitor on a phone expects it.
Speed engineered in
Lean code, compressed images and properly loaded fonts, measured against Google's Core Web Vitals before launch.
Search-ready on day one
Each page ships with its own title, description, headings, internal links and structured data, written for that page.
Analytics and Search Console in your name
Both are set up under your ownership at launch, so the record of what the site earns belongs to you.
Automated checks on every change
Links, headings, metadata and accessibility are tested before any release, and a failed check stops it.
How the work runs
- Measure. The competitors you name are measured first, and the searches their pages answer are listed.
- Plan. A page plan is drawn from that list, one page for each thing you want to be found for, and sent to you to approve.
- Design. The design is made for the approved plan and approved in its turn.
- Build. The site is built at a private address, and each change passes the release checks before you see it.
- Launch. You sign off the finished site, it goes live on your domain, and Analytics and Search Console are opened in your name.
- Record. The live site and the same competitors are measured again, which puts the starting position on record.
What you receive
- The competitor measurement the plan was drawn from.
- The page plan and the design, as you approved them.
- The website, live on your own domain.
- Google Analytics and Search Console accounts that you own.
- The launch measurement: your new site beside your competitors on its first day.
Why search belongs in the design stage
Most websites are designed first and optimised afterwards, and the second job is spent undoing the first: pages that share one title, images that slow every visit, and content placed where a search engine does not read it. Planning for search before design begins removes that second job.
The page plan comes from measurement. The Medusa instrument, which we built and run, measures the competitors you name: the pages they have, the searches those pages answer and how fast they load. Your site is planned to answer the same searches better.
What you approve, and when
You approve the page plan first, then the design, then the finished site on a private address. Nothing goes live until you have signed it off.
At launch the site and your named competitors are measured again, so the starting position is on record and later changes can be judged against it.
Questions about a new website
How do I start a new website project?
Start with the free competitor gap report. Name up to three competitors, and the report shows where they are ahead. The written proposal that comes with it sets out the pages, the design and the build.
Who owns the Analytics and Search Console accounts?
You do. Both are created in your name at launch and we are added as users, so the data stays with you whoever works on the site in future.
What do you need from me before design starts?
What you sell, who you sell it to, where you compete and the competitors your customers compare you with. The page plan, the copy and the design are prepared from that for you to approve.
Free competitor gap report
A new site should be planned against the sites already answering the searches your customers make. Name up to three competitors and we measure them alongside your current site, then send you where they are strong, where they are weak and what to build first.
- Speed and technical health, side by side
- On-page SEO and site structure
- The content they are found for and you are not
- Who holds the searches that matter in your market
- A prioritised list of what to fix first

What it costs
Prices exclude VAT and are where the work starts, not what a project costs. What yours costs is in the written proposal that comes with your free competitor report.
The figure moves with the number of pages, how much of the writing and the photography we do, and whether anything has to be built that a page cannot do on its own.
