Website design for London, from a studio in Edinburgh.
We design and build websites for London organisations, alongside our Scottish work, mostly financial services, research, university and third sector. The kind of site where someone arrives on a phone, in a hurry, looking for one specific thing, and needs to find it.
Squarespace and WordPress, whichever suits the job
Squarespace 7.1 when your team needs to run the site themselves. We build exclusively on 7.1 with Fluid Engine, and bespoke is the default, custom design and custom code where it earns its place, like the skip hire booking journey we wrote for Binn Group. WordPress when the job is really about data, custom content types, relationships between records, filtering at scale. We are an official Squarespace Circle Gold Partner. Either way you get a site that loads quickly, reads properly on a phone, and can be updated without raising a support ticket.
Working with London organisations
We built the Squarespace site for Alvine Capital, an FCA regulated firm in Mayfair, and the website for Valentia Partners, a financial services management consultancy working across London, Dublin and Edinburgh. We designed and built the Preventable Deaths Tracker with Dr Georgia Richards, and we have worked with King’s College London. Most of it was delivered remotely, which is how these projects run best.
Sitemap first, cost second
We agree the sitemap before anyone talks about money. A quote given before the structure is known is a guess, and guesses get revised upwards. Once the sitemap is signed off, the cost is fixed. £65 per hour ex VAT, invoiced on completion with 30 day terms, and no deposit.
