Choosing
Should you choose WordPress or a custom website?
WordPress is a practical choice when your team publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugins offer a wide choice of features, but someone needs to keep the installation updated for security. Before choosing it, think about who will publish new material and who will take responsibility for those updates after launch.
A custom Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. Structural changes generally need a developer, so consider how often you expect to change the layout as well as the words and images. We recommend WordPress or Next.js after learning how your team works.
A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow is another option for a small site you want to run alone. You have less control over the code and speed, and moving the site elsewhere later can mean rebuilding it. Ask about that trade-off before you commit your content to a platform.
Local
What Berkeley organisations need from a website
The University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are part of the city’s institutional community. An organisation with several audiences needs a clear page structure and an editor that keeps information current without making visitors search through unnecessary pages.
For a religious studies institution such as the Graduate Theological Union, the page structure needs to help visitors find the information most relevant to them. Wireframes give the organisation a chance to decide what belongs on each page before visual design begins.
Local businesses include Chez Panisse and the Claremont Resort. A business handling enquiries needs to decide where messages go, who receives them and what visitors see after submitting a form; mobile contact buttons also need a clear purpose.
Rules
What a US website project has to handle
Accessibility belongs in the brief. US guidance says the ADA covers the online goods and services of businesses open to the public, and points to WCAG as helpful guidance. We set an accessibility target with you before page design starts, using the latest WCAG version as the reference. The brief can specify the target level, so the decisions about page designs have a shared basis for review.
How it runs
How the project runs with us
We work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 13h30m ahead of Pacific time in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback and see project decisions between calls.
- 01
Discover
Tell us about your business, audience and goals. We use that discussion to agree the scope with you before design starts.
- 02
Design
We prepare desktop and mobile page designs. Review them with your team and tell us what needs changing before the build.
- 03
Build
We develop the site or an editable CMS and test it on real devices and browsers. You review the working pages.
- 04
Check
Proofread every page, submit each form once and confirm who receives the messages. This catches small errors visitors would otherwise see.
- 05
Launch
We set up the domain, email, analytics and Search Console, then walk your team through the handover.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring what you have, along with the names of the people who can fill the gaps.
- Your logo files, brand colours and fonts, or a note that they still need creating.
- A ranked list of the services or products you want to feature.
- Examples of websites you like and dislike, with a short reason for each choice.
- Access details for your domain, hosting, email and search accounts, or the account holders’ names.
- The site’s main goal and the person responsible for each kind of enquiry.
- Case studies, permitted client logos, testimonials and certifications gathered in a folder.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work grows with the design decisions, features and content you include in the scope.
Page templates
Distinct layouts take more design and build work than pages that share a template.
Features
Booking, calculators, member logins, multiple languages and CRM connections add design, build and testing work.
Content readiness
Copy and photos ready to publish keep the scope smaller; copywriting, photography or translation add work.
Migration
Moving old posts, news archives and downloadable files adds transfer and checking work.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Berkeley
Page updated 5 November 2026
Is a website still worth building for my business?
A website is worth considering when you need a clear place for visitors to understand your services and make an enquiry. Decide what you want it to do before adding pages. After launch, track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks in analytics, and check which pages those enquiries started from.
How much does it cost to have a website built?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include the scope of the pages and functions, whether you choose a custom design or an adapted template, and how much editing control your team needs. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed, so you can review what the work covers.
What is included in the search setup?
We set up metadata, structured data and a sitemap as part of the build. Page titles, descriptions and a clear heading structure give search engines information about your pages. Before launch, check that a development indexing block has not been left on: it can keep the new site out of search results.
Will I own the website?
Yes. You own the domain, content and code. Keep the domain and hosting accounts in your business’s name and grant access to the people working on the site. That way, your team retains control of the accounts as well as the material and code that make up the website.
Who updates the site after launch?
Your team can update pages, news, projects and careers through the content editor without training. Decide who will take responsibility for those updates before launch, especially for news and job posts. A visitor who sees an old latest post may wonder whether the business is still trading.
