Looking for a Modern, User- and Seo-friendly Website That Converts?
Tailored to your needs and goals, using cutting-edge technologies and the latest web design principles to ensure your website is modern and fully responsive. We also use SEO best practices to ensure your website is optimised for search engines and can be easily found by your target audience.
We build simple to complex brochure, membership, directory, and e-commerce websites for all sectors.
How Does it Work?
We understand that it can be confusing to navigate the web design process, so we’re here to help break it down for you and help you every step of the way.
Discovery and Planning
We will start by getting to know your business and understanding the goals for the project. We will also discuss the project details, timeline, and budget to ensure we’re on the same page.
Design
Our experienced designers will create a custom design for your website that reflects your brand and meets your business goals. They will also create a user-friendly interface for an enjoyable user experience.
Development
Once the design is complete, our developers will begin coding the website using the latest technologies and industry best practices. Content will be integrated and optimised.
Launch
Before launching the website, our team will perform thorough testing to ensure that everything is working as expected. Once the website has been tested and approved, we’ll launch it and make it live on the web.
Maintenance
After launch, we can provide ongoing maintenance and support to make sure your website is secure and up-to-date so you can focus on your business. Check out our WordPress Care Plans to ensure peace of mind.
Apps & Platforms We Work With
We can help with nearly any website build, from pure HTML/CSS code to WordPress blocks and theme packages like Kadence, Astra/Spectra, GeneratePress, and Blocks.
We also work with Framer, Wix Studio, Webflow, MODX, and Joomla websites. Our expertise extends to seamless API integration, connecting your site with third-party services, payment gateways, CRMs, and custom data sources to create powerful, automated solutions.

Have Any Questions?
If you’re not sure where to start or what it all entails, check out some FAQs below.
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please get in touch to discuss your requirements and concerns.
-
What does a bespoke website cost?
As with any bespoke product, it is very hard to estimate the cost without knowing more about your specific requirements. Websites come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from simple brochure-style to complex e-commerce or membership websites. Please get in touch to find out how much your project requirements would cost to realise.
-
Do you offer a payment plan?
Typically, we send a deposit invoice before any work starts on your new project and a balance invoice for the remainder after your website project is complete after about 6 to 8 weeks. That means you'll pay for your website in two instalments.
-
What are the ongoing costs of a website?
The ongoing costs of a website include hosting and domain name registration fees, as well as WordPress website maintenance costs.
-
Will I own my site?
Yes! After your website build has been fully paid for, the website files are fully yours to do with as you please, and the copyright of the design and development also reverts to yourself.
-
Do you use templates?
At our agency, we firmly believe that one size does not fit all when it comes to creating WordPress websites for our clients. While many web development companies rely on templates and pre-designed themes to expedite their projects, we have chosen a different path. Our commitment to delivering exceptional results leads us to a different approach: all the design and development work for our clients' WordPress websites is entirely custom.
However, our new brand The Orkney Web Design Company will soon start offering entry-level pre-built template based websites on a subscription basis with an affordable setup fee, so no matter where you are with your business, you will be able to afford a professional website backed up by our expertise and support.
-
I already have a website/webshop that I like, can you do some updates for me?
Yes, we're happy to edit or add pages and content sections to a website that you already have, whether it was built with WordPress or any other platform. Before we do anything, though, we will need to audit your website to ensure it's still using the latest technologies, as working on a very old website can be a waste of time or money, and it might actually be cheaper to start from scratch.
-
What happens if my site goes down or has been hacked?
If your website goes down, it means that it is no longer accessible online. This could be due to a technical issue or a problem with the hosting service. If your website has been visibly hacked or behaves in a strange way that is probably due to hacking, we can help fix this as well. If you'd like to have 24/7 support, consider one of our WordPress website care plans. By subscribing to a care plan, you can also prevent hacking attempts because we monitor your website's infrastructure and security.
-
I've already got a design for my website, can you do development only?
Yes. Please get in touch if you currently have a web designer on board and need a web developer to make it a reality in WordPress. The only thing we ask is that the designer you select is able to provide us with the design files in a current UI design tool, like Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD.
-
I've already got a developer for my website, can you do design only?
Yes. All our UI/UX design is done in Figma and files are handed off to the developer using Figma Dev, which means they can download all the design assets as as well CSS and other relevant information to develop a pixel-perfect website following our design.
-
How do I differentiate myself from my competitors?
One sure way to differentiate your website from that of your competitors is to commission us to create a custom WordPress website that is tailored to your business needs and unique brand. Engage your audience by offering features and content that your competitor doesn't; focus on your clients' needs; and get folks drawn in by offering a freebie if you can!
-
How will I ensure that my site gets visitors?
Increasing website traffic is essential for every online business. SEO, social media, paid advertisements, and content marketing are all helpful. SEO involves improving the content and architecture of websites, which is what we do as part of the website build. Paid ads via, for example, Google Ads or Facebook help reach the right people and get action much quicker than relying on the organic ranking of your new website. Using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for promotion is known as social media marketing. In order to draw in and educate your target audience, you must provide useful content for content marketing in the form of regular articles that make you stand out from your competition. Keeping your website active with new content will satisfy Google and increase your ranking. Combining these tactics can result in a powerful strategy for increasing traffic and expanding your business.
-
Why should I be wary of people sending me emails telling me that my website needs to be optimized?
Emails suggesting that your website needs to be optimised should be avoided at all costs. Many of these emails are phishing schemes that make untrue claims about rising traffic and rankings. It's recommended to ignore and quickly delete any unsolicited emails that offer SEO services. It's best to do your homework on reliable SEO businesses and get in touch with them directly if you're interested in optimising your website.
