What’s included with every project?

Every project, big or small, comes with the same basics:

  • Mobile-first design that works on a phone on the Blue Line.
  • Technical SEO setup, including titles, sitemaps and structured data.
  • Accessibility checks against WCAG 2.1 AA before launch.
  • Full ownership. Your domain, your content, your admin login.
  • Plain-English training so you can edit your own pages.

Can one studio handle everything?

Yes. We design, build, host and maintain, so there’s one team to call when something needs changing. That matters most after launch. A site that nobody updates slowly breaks. With managed hosting, we apply every core, plugin and theme update and check that the site still works.

What don’t we do?

We don’t do paid ads management, social media posting or logo design. We’d rather tell you that up front than do it badly. If you need those, we’re happy to work alongside the people who do. We can give your ad agency or designer the access they need, and we make sure their tracking codes and brand files are set up correctly on the site.
