Choosing
Should you choose WordPress or a custom website?
WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugin choice gives you flexibility, though someone needs to keep the installation 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. Structural changes generally need a developer, so consider who will handle those requests.
There is also a headless setup: a custom front end paired with a separate content editor. It suits a site that needs speed and frequent editing, but adds components to host and maintain. The extra moving parts are worth discussing before you commit to that arrangement.
The design is a separate choice. A custom design fits a specific brand, audience or content need; an adapted template suits a simple site and a tight brief when it is reworked around your actual content. We recommend WordPress or Next.js after learning how your team works and who will make changes.
Local
What St Albans organisations need from a website
St Albans is a cathedral city in Hertfordshire. If you run a professional services firm here, give each service and partner a clear page. Visitors assessing a solicitor, accountant or consultant need to find relevant expertise and credentials before they call.
Oaklands College has a further education campus in Smallford. An education organisation needs a sitemap that helps prospective students find the right pages without having to work through an unclear menu. Page structure, mobile design and an editor all need an owner from the start.
The city also has museums covering Roman Britain and the town’s history. For a museum, decide where each enquiry form sends its messages, who receives them and what visitors see after submitting. A clear contact route gives the organisation a practical way to respond.
Rules
What a UK website project needs to handle
If you run a UK limited company, your site must show its registered number, registered office address, place of registration and limited company status. We set up a place for those details on the site and ask you to check them before launch.
Service providers must make reasonable adjustments so disabled people can access their website. We set up accessible navigation and descriptive text for images as part of the build, and review the pages with those adjustments in mind.
How it runs
How your website project runs with us
We are a studio in India and work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 5h30m ahead, or 4h30m during British Summer Time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. We use the shared board to keep decisions and feedback visible across the time difference.
- 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
Design
We start with wireframes. Review the content and its order before we move on to colours and the visual design.
- 03
Build
We develop the site or set up an editable CMS, then test it on real devices and browsers. You review the working pages.
- 04
Check
Proofread every page, submit each form 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 site.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Start with your main goal and who handles each type of enquiry.
- Logo files in SVG, AI or EPS, plus your brand colours and fonts.
- Websites you like and dislike, with a short reason for each choice.
- Real photos of your team, premises and finished work; arrange a photo shoot ahead of the project if needed.
- Logins for your domain, hosting, email, analytics and Search Console, or the name of the person who holds them.
- A folder of case studies, permitted client logos, testimonials, certifications and memberships.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
We agree the scope with you before the work starts.
Features
Booking, calculators, member logins, multiple languages or a CRM connection 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
Blog posts, news archives and downloadable files from an old site all need moving and checking.
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 St Albans
Page updated 5 November 2026
Is it still worth paying for web development?
It is worth considering when you need a site built around enquiries your team can act on. Track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks in analytics, then check which pages visitors started from. That gives you a practical way to assess how the site supports your goals.
How much does it cost to have a website built?
There is no fixed price. The work involved in gathering service copy and photos, and preparing your existing brand assets for the web, helps shape the quote. We send you a free quote once the scope is agreed, so tell us what content and brand files you already have.
Can a custom website still have a content editor?
Yes. A custom Next.js site can include an editor, so choosing a custom build does not mean asking a developer to make every content change. We consider how your team works before recommending a platform, including how much content you expect to edit yourselves.
Will we own the website after launch?
Yes. You own the domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Make sure the person responsible for the site knows where those assets are held and who has access, so your team can manage them as your needs change.
What should we check before the site goes live?
Check that the search setup is complete before launch. Missing page titles, a missing sitemap or an indexing block left over from development can keep a new site out of search results. Review those details alongside the pages themselves before you approve the launch.
