What you actually get

What a Gateway Website Is

A Gateway website is a custom-designed, mobile-first site built around your business goals, fast, easy to find on Google, and owned entirely by you.

We do not sell recycled templates. Every project is designed from your goals, your customers and your content up, so the finished site looks distinct, performs well and can grow with you. Here is how that compares to the usual options.

Approach Best for The trade-off
DIY builder Lowest budget, simple needs. Generic look, limited control, your time.
Template site Speed and low cost. Shared design, hard to flex or scale.
Gateway custom Businesses that need to convert. Built for you, owned by you, made to last.

How we work

A Clear Path from Brief to Launch

No mystery, no missed deadlines. Here is exactly how a website project runs with us.

Step 01

Discovery & Goals

We start by understanding your business, your customers and what the website actually needs to achieve, more enquiries, more sales, fewer support calls. This is where we agree scope, timeline and success measures in writing, so everyone is aligned before design begins.

Goals & audienceScope agreedSitemapFirm timeline
Step 02

Design & Prototype

We design the key pages around your brand and your conversion goals, then share them for feedback before a line of production code is written. You see and shape the look and flow early, so there are no surprises at launch.

Step 03

Build & Develop

We build the approved design as a fast, responsive, accessible site on a content management system you can edit yourself. Clean code and SEO fundamentals go in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.

Step 04

Test & Launch

We test across devices and browsers, check speed, accessibility and every link, then launch, handling redirects carefully so a redesign keeps its existing rankings. You get a walkthrough so your team knows how to run the site.

Step 05

Support & Grow

After launch, you can edit the site yourself or hand ongoing updates, security and hosting to us. Either way, we are here to help the site keep improving as your business grows.

FAQs

Website Design Questions, Answered Plainly

A professional custom website typically takes four to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch. A straightforward brochure site sits at the shorter end, while sites with e-commerce, custom features or a lot of content take longer. We give you a firm timeline after the discovery stage, once the scope is clear.
A template is a pre-built layout you adapt to your brand, which is fast and cheap but shared by thousands of other sites and limited in how far it can flex. A custom website is designed around your specific goals, content and customers, so it looks distinct, performs better and can grow with your business. We build custom, because a page that has to convert cannot afford to look like everyone else's.
Yes. When we finish, you own your website in full, the design, the code, the content and the domain. Everything is registered in your name and handed over to you. You are never locked into us to make changes or to keep the site online.
A typical project includes discovery and strategy, custom design, development and build, content structuring, mobile and cross-browser testing, on-page SEO fundamentals, and launch. We confirm exactly what is in scope in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises later.
Yes. We design mobile-first, building for the smallest screen and scaling up, because most web traffic now comes from phones. Every site is optimised for Core Web Vitals and fast load times, which improves both the user experience and your Google rankings.
Yes. Every site we build ships with SEO fundamentals in place: clean semantic HTML, a logical heading structure, descriptive metadata, fast performance, structured data where relevant, and a crawlable architecture. This gives your site the technical foundation it needs to rank, though ongoing content and authority work still drive long-term results.
Yes. A careful redesign protects and usually improves rankings. We map your existing URLs, preserve or redirect them, keep the content search engines already value, and improve speed and structure. Rankings are put at risk by careless migrations, not by redesigns done properly.
Yes to both. We build on a content management system so your team can edit pages, add posts and update content without a developer, and we include a handover walkthrough. We also offer ongoing support and maintenance if you would rather we handle updates, security and hosting for you.
