What we do
First drawn, then built means we settle what your business needs to say, on paper, before anything is designed or built.
Most designers and developers need you to tell them what to build. We start one step earlier. We work out what your business needs to say to the people you want to reach, then we design and build the brand and the website around that, so you never have to describe what you want.
What we design and build
Three ways in
There are three kinds of work we do. Website prices are published in full, and apps are priced per project.
Websites
A refresh of the one you have, or a new website: we work out the structure, tidy or write the words for every page, and design and build it through to live. Refreshes from £500, new websites from £750, nothing monthly.
Branding
A new logo and colours, or a full brand with fonts and a short guide, made alongside your website.
Apps and software
Small working tools that do one job well, like a booking system or a client portal.
Website prices are published with what each includes. See the pricing.
How we work
It starts with two questions
01 · Two questions
Do you have a website today, and do you like your brand? Your answers, and whether you want every page written for you, tell us which package fits and what it costs.
02 · Written down first
Before anything is designed, we write down what your site needs to say, so you never have to describe what you want.
03 · Real pages to react to
Then we bring you real pages to look at and you tell us what feels right. Reacting takes minutes, and a project goes live in weeks.
Apps and tools
Four apps, and where each has got to
Three of them are our own tools. The fourth is client work.
Why now
Buyers now research with AI
When someone needed an accountant or a physiotherapist, they used to search Google and get a list of businesses. Now many of them ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google’s AI instead, and the AI reads what each business has published on its website and recommends one, with reasons.
So a business is no longer only found or not found. It is judged first, by the AI, before the person ever visits. What your website says now decides more than it used to.
We build for that. We shape every page around the questions your customers actually ask, in plain words, and we build the pages so that a person and a tool like ChatGPT can both read what you do and where you work.
It is why our own prices are published in full: a clear, checkable statement is the kind ChatGPT repeats.
