Pillar 02
Web Design & Development
Sites that load immediately, work with a keyboard, read correctly to a search engine, and keep working when the JavaScript does not.
A great deal of the modern web is a framework shipping four hundred kilobytes of JavaScript to render a paragraph. We build closer to the metal: semantic HTML, modern CSS, and only the script a page genuinely needs. The result is faster, cheaper to host, and far harder to break.
What this includes
The work itself
Custom website design and build
Designed and built for the business rather than adapted from a template. Static by default — no database to breach, no plugin to update, no monthly platform fee.
Landing pages and campaign microsites
Single-purpose pages built around one audience and one offer, with the measurement wired in before launch rather than bolted on after.
Redesign and rebuild
Modernizing a site that has become slow, unmaintainable or impossible to edit, while keeping the URLs and search equity already earned.
Performance optimization
Core Web Vitals, page weight, render-blocking resources, image formats and delivery. Measured before and after, with the numbers shown.
Accessibility remediation
Auditing an existing site against WCAG 2.2 AA and engineering the fixes: keyboard operation, focus visibility, semantic structure, contrast, and meaningful alternative text.How it is delivered
Method
- Content and structure are decided before any visual design, because layout that precedes content produces pages nobody can fill.
- Design happens in the browser at real widths, not as flat pictures that later turn out not to work at 360 pixels.
- Every page is checked at 360, 768, 1280 and 1920 for overlap, clipping and horizontal scroll.
- Accessibility is built in as the page is written — keyboard order, focus states and landmarks — rather than retrofitted at the end.
What you receive
Deliverables
- A complete, deployed website you own outright
- Source files in a git repository, transferable to any host
- Responsive layouts verified at four widths
- Analytics wired and consent-gated on every page
- Sitemap, robots directives and per-page metadata
- A written handover covering how to edit and deploy it
Not included
What this engagement does not cover
Stated plainly so there is no discovery of a gap halfway through.
- Ongoing hosting fees or domain registration — billed by your provider, not us
- Formal legal accessibility certification or a VPAT — we engineer toward the standard, we do not certify
- Full-stack application work with databases and user accounts is quoted separately
- Content migration from an existing CMS at volume, unless scoped explicitly
