Web development that stays fast and flexible

Web development turns an approved design into a website that loads fast on a phone, has nothing to patch every week and keeps working long after launch. We hand-code websites with semantic HTML, modern CSS and lean JavaScript, without a CMS or plugins, and add integrations or headless commerce where the project needs them. Fixed quote before we start, websites from €1,500.

Web development services we offer

Custom websites. Hand-built frontends without page-builder overhead: only the code your pages need, which keeps them fast and stable for years.

Content changes handled by us. There is no CMS to learn and no plugin to update. You send us new text, photos, projects or team members and we put them live, quickly and without breaking the layout: small changes as part of website care, larger ones at a fixed price.

Integrations and automations. Forms that land in your CRM or inbox in a usable format, booking tools, newsletters and payment providers. For Drag Race Choppers we built automations that route every enquiry straight into the workshop's workflow.

Headless commerce. For brands that outgrow a standard shop theme we build custom storefronts as a Shopify Hydrogen agency, with Drop Bike as our live reference.

Hosting, domains and deployment. We set up hosting, DNS, SSL and deployments, or work with what you already have. Disclosure: we are a verified Hostinger partner, but we recommend whatever suits the project.

Who our web development is for

Businesses that have a design, from us or from another designer, and need it built properly. Companies whose current site is slow, fragile or so tangled in plugins that nobody dares to update it. Teams that need their website connected to the tools they already use.

If you also need the design, our web design service and development run in one team, so the people who draw the layout are the people who build it.

Performance and Core Web Vitals

Speed is a build requirement, not a plugin you add afterwards. We aim for Google's “good” thresholds for Core Web Vitals on real phones: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) under 200 milliseconds and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) below 0.1.

In practice that means images in modern formats such as WebP or AVIF at the right size for each screen, fonts hosted on your own domain and loaded with care, no unused scripts, and layouts that reserve space so nothing jumps while the page loads. We check every template with Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights before launch.

Technical SEO built into every build

Every site we develop ships with the technical groundwork search engines expect: semantic HTML with one H1 per page, a clean heading structure, readable URLs, canonical tags, an XML sitemap, structured data in JSON-LD and a meta title and description written for every page.

Multilingual sites get correct hreflang annotations and one URL per language, as described in our multilingual website SEO guide. For a relaunch we build a 301 redirect map from every old URL to its new home, so existing rankings are not thrown away. What to do beyond the technical layer is covered in SEO for small businesses.

Accessibility as a build requirement

We develop against WCAG 2.1 level AA, the level the harmonised European standard EN 301 549 builds on: real buttons and links instead of clickable boxes, labelled form fields with clear error messages, visible keyboard focus, sensible reading order and ARIA only where native HTML is not enough.

Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act has applied to many consumer-facing online services, including e-commerce. Building it in from the start costs far less than retrofitting it later.

Existing website: improve, take over or rebuild

Many projects start with a site somebody else built. We first review the codebase, hosting, plugins and access rights in a short audit and then tell you plainly whether it is worth improving or whether a rebuild is cheaper over the next few years.

If you are weighing a relaunch, our checklist of signs your website needs a redesign helps you separate real problems from cosmetic ones. When we rebuild, content, redirects and tracking move with the site.

Cost, timeline and handover

Websites start at €1,500. Projects with more templates, integrations or a shop are quoted after a discovery call as a fixed price, with a 50 % deposit at the start and 50 % at launch. Most projects go live within 2–6 weeks. Market ranges for different routes are in our guide how much does a website cost.

At handover you get the code, all access data for domain and hosting in your name, and documentation where it helps your team. We can stay on for updates and care, or leave you with a foundation another developer can pick up without guesswork.

FAQ

Common questions

01Which technologies do you work with?

Hand-written semantic HTML, modern CSS and lean JavaScript, with no CMS and no plugins. Integrations with Shopify, booking tools, CRMs and payment providers run through their APIs, and for shops that outgrow a theme we build headless commerce with Shopify Hydrogen.

02Will my website be fast and accessible?

Yes. Performance and accessibility are build requirements: every project is tested against Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.1 AA criteria on real devices before launch.

03Can you take over an existing website?

Usually, yes. We review the current code, hosting and access in a short audit first, then recommend whether to improve or rebuild, and explain why.

04Who owns the code and the accounts?

You do. Domain, hosting and third-party accounts are set up in your name, and you receive the code and access data at handover.

05Do you also handle hosting?

Yes, if you want us to. We set up hosting, DNS, SSL and backups or work with your existing provider. We are a verified Hostinger partner and say so openly when we recommend it.

06How much does web development cost?

Websites start at €1,500. Larger builds are quoted as a fixed price after a discovery call, paid 50 % at the start and 50 % at launch.
