Step 1

Discovery & Planning

We’ll arrange a meeting with you at a time that works best for you where we can chat about your project. No pressure or obligations, just a casual chat where we ask you some questions and learn more about you, your business, and your project.

From there, we'll head to the drawing board and put together a detailed proposal outlining deliverables, timelines, and clear costs.

Design & Development

Next, we'll get to work designing your website. To give you a feel for the look and direction, our designers will start with the homepage before moving onto the rest of the site. In the meantime, we'll write copy that matches your tone of voice, connects with users, and is naturally SEO-optimised for each page's targeting.

Once you're happy with the designs, we'll bring it all to life - developing your website into a fully functioning, high performing site.

Step 3

Cleanup & Launch

Once built, our specialists will run a full technical audit to ensure everything is sound, as well as uploading any final elements. We'll transfer any existing blog content, add newly written metadata, upload a strategically planned redirect map, and implement schema markup.

We'll then connect your domain, click the launch button, and perform final checks - ensuring everything is usable and again, free of technical issues.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer your SEO services standalone?

Yes, we do. Although web design and development is now what we position at the forefront of the business, we're still very much an SEO agency as much as we are web, and offer all our SEO services as standalone services. Website created by us or not, we can help increase your organic search visibility.

To learn more about our SEO services, get in touch with us - we'd love to have a chat. From SEO management to auditing, we offer a complete range of services. Have an in-house team that needs direction? It's not something we push, but we can also help with consultancy.

Is all SEO and web work done in-house?

The way we see ourselves when it comes to the design and development of websites is as project managers. As search specialists, we work with other skilled professionals to bring websites to life. We don't design and develop in-house ourselves, but rather coordinate the process.

SEO however is a different story entirely - it's what we specialists in. For the most part, any SEO work we take on, whether standalone or after a web project, will be done in-house. When our calendars are at capacity, we may outsource, but will always be the ones responsible for developing and managing your strategy, dividing out the work to those we know can deliver it best.

What is your turnaround time for a website?

Our websites are bespoke and, with that, take a lot of time to plan, design and develop. For a smaller site, it may only take a month, but for a larger site, upwards of six months. There are lots of factors that can affect this – both internal and external.

When proposing for your website, we'll provide you with a rough turnaround time. We work hard to deliver to this, but it's only an estimate. We know how important turning around your website as quickly as possible is, but our priority is always quality.

Who do you work with?

Although we're a web design, development and SEO agency based in Lincoln, we work with businesses of all shapes and sizes across the UK. Working remotely, we're confident that wherever you are, on the Lincolnshire coast, in the Scottish Highlands, or in the capital city of London, we can gather everything we need and deliver you the best service.
