Bespoke or
a template
Templates are quick to set up, but they show their seams. Here is where a bespoke site makes a difference your customers will notice.
- Starting point
- A blank page, shaped around your trade and customers
- A theme bought online, then bent to fit
- Layout and type
- Chosen from scratch, with every detail considered
- Inherited from the theme and its limits
- Speed
- Light pages that load quickly, even on a weak signal
- Often heavier as plugins and extras pile up
- Words
- Drafted with you until they sound like you
- Typed into placeholder slots by you
- Ownership
- Yours, built cleanly so anyone can pick it up
- Tied to one platform and hard to move
- After launch
- Two weeks of free fixes, then care keeps it running
- Support tickets, and updates that break things

Is it a
good fit
Bespoke suits small businesses that care how they come across online. It is not right for everyone, and we would rather say so at the start.
A good fit if
- You run a shop, studio or small practice near York
- Your current site feels templated or out of date
- You want a site that sounds like you wrote it
- You value something made carefully and looked after
- You want to edit it yourself or email for changes
Probably not if
- You need a large build with many people signing off
- You want a full rebrand or a paid advertising push
- You need it live next week with nothing written yet
- You would rather build it yourself from a template
- You are mainly after the cheapest option going
Questions
and answers
Something else on your mind?
Email and we will reply within a working day.
A bespoke site is shaped around your business from the start, not bent out of a theme. It loads faster, looks like nobody else, and is entirely yours to keep.
Yes. Prices, photos, opening hours and other parts that change often can be edited in your own simple editor, or you can email the change and we will make it.
No. We draft the words from your notes and a few questions, then refine them with you. For photos we use what you have, or good stock images until new ones are ready.
Almost always. We keep the parts worth keeping, rebuild the rest properly and move everything across with care, so the good work already there is not lost.
Every site runs on our care plan after launch, which covers small edits by email. Bigger changes, such as new pages, are quoted separately before any work starts.
