Choosing
Should you choose WordPress or a custom website?
WordPress suits a team that publishes frequently and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugins offer plenty of choices, but someone needs to keep them updated for security. Before choosing it, decide who will look after updates as well as content.
A custom Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages and a design without template limits. Allow for a developer to make structural changes. A headless setup adds a separate content editor to a custom front end; it suits heavy editing alongside a need for speed, but adds parts to host and maintain.
We recommend a platform after learning how your team works. Consider the work after launch: who will publish updates, who will handle structural changes and how much control you need over the site. That gives us a practical basis for the choice before page design begins.

What Portsmouth organisations need from their websites
For suppliers seeking work connected with the active Norfolk Naval Shipyard, a useful site needs clear capability or product pages. Certifications and downloadable specifications give a prospective buyer material to review, while a quote form should ask for enough detail to make a response possible.
A professional services firm serving the Olde Towne Business and Historic District needs room to explain its services and its people's credentials. Separate service and partner pages help visitors check expertise before they decide to call.
Portsmouth is also home to Old Dominion University's Tri-Cities Higher Education Center. An education organisation's site needs visitors to find the right contact route; agree who receives each enquiry and what the confirmation message says before the forms are built.
Rules
What a United States website project needs to handle
Accessibility belongs in the brief. US Department of Justice guidance says the ADA covers the goods and services that businesses open to the public offer on the web, and identifies WCAG as helpful guidance. We agree a WCAG target with you, then set up the sitemap, wireframes and desktop and mobile page designs against that target. This gives your team a defined accessibility goal to review during design.
How it runs
How a website project runs with us
We work remotely from India using video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time, so shared boards keep feedback visible across the working day.
- 01
Discover
Tell us who buys from you, why they choose you and what you want visitors to do. We use those answers to shape the sitemap.
- 02
Plan the pages
We prepare wireframes before visual design. Your feedback at this stage should focus on the content and its order; colours come later.
- 03
Build and test
We develop the site in clean code or with an editable content management system, then test it on real devices and browsers.
- 04
Check before launch
You proofread the pages, submit each form and confirm who receives its 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 site.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Decide early who will gather and write the content; service descriptions, biographies, case studies and photos need time.
- Your logo in a vector format, brand colours and fonts, or a note that these still need creating.
- Your main site goal and the person responsible for each type of enquiry.
- Case studies, testimonials, certifications and client logos you have permission to show.
- Photos of your team, premises and finished work; book a shoot ahead if needed.
- A ranked list of services or products to feature in the navigation and on the home page.
- Sites you like and dislike, with a short reason for each choice.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of a website project
The scope determines the design, build and checking work. These decisions change that scope:
Page templates
Distinct layouts take more design and development effort than pages sharing the same template.
Features
Booking, calculators, member logins, additional languages and CRM connections add build and testing work.
Content migration
Moving an archive of posts, news or downloadable files from an old site adds transfer and checking work.
Brand readiness
An existing logo and style guide reduce the design work compared with deciding colours, typefaces and a logo during the project.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Portsmouth
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to have a website built?
There is no fixed price. The work depends on the editing tools your team needs, the enquiry routes you want and how much preparation your brand assets need for the web. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed, so you can review the proposed work before proceeding.
Should I use a website builder?
A hosted builder can suit a small site you want to run yourself. Wix, Squarespace and Webflow offer that route, with less control over code and speed than a custom build. Consider the move later too: leaving a hosted platform can mean rebuilding the site.
What is included in the launch?
We set up the domain, email, analytics and Search Console, and give your team a walkthrough. The build also includes search details such as metadata, structured data and a sitemap. Your team has a chance to understand the setup as well as the pages it will manage.
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, you retain control of those accounts when you change who maintains the website.
What should we manage after launch?
Assign someone to keep news, projects and job posts current, and review enquiries in analytics. Track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks as conversions, then check which pages visitors started from. Those checks give you useful information for deciding what to update next.
