Choosing

Should you choose WordPress or a custom website?

Start with who will make changes. WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. It offers a large choice of plugins, though someone needs to keep it updated for security. A custom-coded site in Next.js suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. Plan for a developer to handle structural changes.

A custom design gives you room to respond to a specific brand, audience or content. An adapted template can fit a simpler site with a tight brief, provided it is reworked around your actual content. There is also a headless option: a custom front end paired with a separate editor. It fits heavy editing alongside a need for speed, with more components to host and maintain.

We’ll ask how your team works before recommending WordPress or a custom Next.js site. That gives the choice a practical basis: the people publishing, the changes they expect to make and the control they need.

Local

What Colchester organisations need from their websites

Colchester Castle’s museum, the zoo and the city’s art galleries give visitors different reasons to look for information. For an attraction, clear visitor information, opening hours and a call or booking option that works on a phone give people a route to their next step. Agree where enquiries go and what visitors see after submitting a form.

For a local gallery, images and details of the work give visitors something concrete to explore before they make contact. A portfolio structure also makes it easier to present individual pieces of work with their own descriptions, instead of placing every image on an undifferentiated page. Decide which work needs its own page before settling the design.

Rules

What a UK website project has to handle

If your business is a UK limited company, the website needs to show its registered number, registered office address, place of registration and limited-company status. We set up a place on the site for those details, so you can supply and check them before launch.

Accessibility also shapes the build. Organisations providing services through a website must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. We agree a WCAG accessibility target in the brief and set up page designs for desktop and mobile, giving you a defined target to review as the work develops.

How it runs

How a website project runs with us

We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India is 5h30m ahead of the UK, or 4h30m ahead during British Summer Time. We can record feedback and decisions on the board so work keeps moving between calls.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Tell us who buys from you, why they choose you and what visitors should do. We use that to agree the scope and shape the sitemap.

  2. 02

    Design

    We prepare wireframes before the visual designs. Review the content and its order first; we then refine desktop and mobile page designs with your feedback.

  3. 03

    Build

    We develop the agreed site and test it on real devices and browsers. The project also includes ongoing support after launch.

  4. 04

    Check

    Proofread every page, submit each form and confirm who receives its messages. This gives you a chance to catch small errors before visitors see them.

  5. 05

    Launch

    We set up the domain, email, analytics and Search Console, then walk your team through the site. Bring the people who will use it to that walkthrough.

Checklist

What to have ready before we talk

Gather proof of your work in a folder, including case studies and client logos you have permission to show.

  • Brand filesBring your logo in SVG, AI or EPS format, plus your colours and fonts, or note what still needs creating.
  • Services or productsRank the ones you want to feature so the navigation and home page can lead with your priorities.
  • Website examplesNote what you like and dislike about a few sites, with a reason for each.
  • PhotosGather real images of your team, premises and finished work, or arrange a photo shoot ahead of time.
  • Enquiry goalDecide if you want quote requests, calls or applications, and who will handle each.

Cost & time

What affects the cost and time needed

The work changes with the scope and what you already have ready to use.

  • Page templates

    Distinct page designs take more design and build effort than pages sharing a template. Look at how many genuinely different layouts you need.

  • Features

    Booking, calculators, member logins, multiple languages and CRM connections each add design, build and testing work.

  • Content readiness

    Copy and photos ready to publish keep the work smaller; adding copywriting, photography or translation expands it.

  • Brand readiness

    An existing logo and style guide reduce design work compared with deciding the logo, colours and typefaces during the project.

Questions

Asked by businesses in Colchester

Page updated 5 November 2026

How much does it cost to have a website built?

There is no single fixed price for every website. The scope of custom development, the content still to gather and the brand assets that need preparing for the web all affect the work. Once we understand your requirements and agree the scope, we can prepare a quote.

Is a website still worth investing in?

It is worth assessing against the enquiries you want it to help you handle. Track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks in analytics, then check which pages people started from. Also decide who will update news, projects and job posts, so the site continues to reflect your business.

Can a custom website still have an editor?

Yes. A custom Next.js website can include an editor, even if a developer handles structural changes. That is useful to discuss when some people on your team need to update content while others are responsible for changes to the site’s structure.

Will I own my website?

Yes. You own the domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Make sure the people responsible for your website know where those assets are kept and who manages access to them. That gives your team a clear starting point when it needs to make changes.

What should I check before approving the design?

Review the pages on a phone and use real content during the review. Headings and paragraphs can take up different amounts of space from placeholder text. Also question pages copied from an old site: a shorter set of clear service pages is easier to scan and keep current.
