Posted on: Thursday, August 6th, 2026 If you’ve ever had a website built, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the term “SEO” thrown around. It’s often mentioned alongside other technical-sounding lingo, like “keywords”, “backlinks”, and “domain authority”, before the conversat...

If your website's visitors are having to wait for pages to load, there's a good chance they're leaving before they've even seen what you offer.

A slow website can affect user experience and search visibility, even determining whether potential customers choose to get in touch.

The good news is that most speed issues are easy to fix. Check out our latest blog post for a look at why websites slow down and what you can do about it.

Posted on: Monday, July 6th, 2026 There’s nothing more frustrating than waiting for a slow website to load, and the last thing you want is to find out it’s your website that’s making other people wait. If you’ve identified that your website isn’t loading as fast as the “norm”, the next...

Today is World Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Day 🌍

Small businesses are the backbone of local communities, creating jobs and supporting local economies. We're proud to be a small business helping other small and growing businesses build a stronger online presence.

This World Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Day, we'd like to thank all the small businesses we work with and support. Here's to helping each other grow! 🚀

If you think your website isn’t a target for hackers, you might be surprised by the data: an estimated 43% to 50% of small businesses in the UK suffer a cyber incident or attack every year.

Most attacks are automated, with bots trying thousands of login combinations every day. And smaller websites are often seen as easier opportunities.

The good news is that you can reduce your risk of being targeted by hackers by keeping your software updated, your passwords strong, and your website properly maintained.

We’ve broken it all down in our latest blog post, including exactly how and why small business websites get targeted, and the hassle-free way to protect your site.

Posted on: Monday, May 11th, 2026 As a web design agency working with dozens of small businesses, we’re often asked about the real risk of hacking when your site is relatively small and you’re only known within your town. It’s a fair question to ask. You might be thinking, “I’m just John t...

Today is World Password Day, which is very fitting, as we're currently writing a blog post about the risk of having your website hacked as a small business.

If your passwords are easy to guess or you reuse them across multiple sites (something we've all been guilty of once!), now’s the time to take your online security a bit more seriously.

There are a few quick actions you can take to improve your password habits:

✅ Use a password manager so you’re not relying on memory
✅ Turn on two-factor authentication where you can
✅ Swap out weak or repeated passwords for something stronger

Look out for our blog post later this month—we'll share it here if you're curious to learn more about protecting your business's data online.

Your website might look fully finished once it goes live, but the initial design and launch is only the starting point. Like any business tool that you use on a regular basis, a website needs ongoing maintenance to keep it working properly and bringing in results.

Essentially, the best approach to website maintenance is to think of it as an investment, not a chore.

If you’re wondering what maintenance involves, and, more importantly, why your website needs it, we’ve created shared a no-nonsense rundown of all the work your site will need behind the scenes.

If you’re considering building a website for your business, you’re probably wondering what on earth it costs.

The short answer is this: usually more than £3,000, but probably less than £10,000, depending on exactly what you need.

The actual cost of a website comes down to a few key factors, including what you’re building, who’s building it, why you’re building it, and how technical it needs to be. Every project is unique, so your actual costs may differ.

There’s also support, which typically costs between 5% and 10% of the setup costs per month. It can be tempting to skip ongoing support to “save money”, but regular maintenance usually works out better in the long run.

We’ve shared typical website costs in our latest blog post.
