Website Design
Websites that do their work —well
We design lightweight, accessible websites for small businesses, non-profits and purpose-led brands. Built for clarity, usability and conversion — and easy for small teams to update without technical help.
The Outcomes We Design For
Turn website visitors into bookings, purchases, donations
Reduce maintenance burden for small teams with a clear CMS and handover materials

Our Website Design Process
A typical project runs over 3–6 weeks:
-
Website Strategy
We start by understanding your organisation, your goals and how your website needs to support your users. You’ll complete a short project questionnaire, share any existing website or brand materials, and join a 60–90-minute workshop where we clarify your audiences, challenges and the outcomes you want.We then carry out focused research — reviewing competitor websites, sector expectations and user behaviour relevant to your market. This ensures the website strategy is aligned with your purpose and grounded in how your audience actually searches and engages online.
Deliverables:
Project questionnaire + discovery workshop
Audience, competitor and sector insights
Agreed website strategy, goals and success measures
You’ll provide:
Any existing website, brand or content materials
Insights into your users, challenges and goals
Access to logins or background documents if needed
-
Copy and UX Planning
Next, we define the structure and content of your website. We create a clear, SEO-aware sitemap to organise all pages logically, followed by wireframes showing layout, hierarchy and user flow across desktop and mobile.We write SEO-aligned, on-brand copy for every page — tailored to small business, non-profit or nature-based audiences, depending on your organisation. This includes optimising headings, metadata recommendations and clear calls-to-action that support your goals.
Deliverables:
Final sitemap with SEO-informed structure
Wireframes (desktop + mobile) for key pages
Website copywriting for all agreed pages
One round of revisions on structure and copy
You’ll provide:
Any key documents or content we should reference
Images you want included (or we can source alternatives)
Timely feedback on sitemap, wireframes and copy
-
Website Design & Development
Once structure and copy are approved, we design the visual look of your website — colour palette, typography, imagery and layout grounded in your brand identity. When you approve the design, we build the site in a modern, user-friendly Content Management System (usually Squarespace, Webflow, Wordpress, or others), ensuring responsive website design across mobile, tablet and desktop.We conduct thorough testing for performance, accessibility, responsiveness and SEO readiness. This includes alt text, basic metadata, site speed best practice and search engine indexing preparation — all essential for SEO-friendly website design.
Deliverables:
Full visual website design
Responsive website build in your chosen CMS
Internal testing (performance, accessibility, responsiveness)
Basic SEO set-up (titles, descriptions, alt text, indexing readiness)
Staging link for review + revision round
You’ll provide:
Timely approval and feedback
Final images, logos or brand files

Go-Live, SEO & Training
When the site is ready, we prepare for launch. We handle staging-to-live publishing, configure your domain and ensure SSL / security settings are correct. We set up analytics, submit your sitemap to search engines and complete final checks for speed, formatting and mobile usability.We finish with training so you feel confident managing your website. We walk you through your CMS, show you how to edit content and provide a simple guide so you can maintain your site long-term.

A nature-based or ethical brand seeking design that reflects your values
You need space for provenance, materials, certifications and stockist listings. We help you communicate values honestly, link to credentials, and support subscription commerce where needed.

FAQs
-
For most small teams, we design in Squarespace, Webflow or Shopify because they are secure, modern and easy to maintain without technical skills. We recommend a platform based on your content needs, integrations, budget and how your team prefers to manage updates.
If you already have a site on WordPress, we can refresh or rebuild it where appropriate. -
Yes. We can connect websites to donation platforms, CRMs, email marketing tools, e-commerce systems and automations.
This includes platforms such as Donorbox, Stripe, PayPal, HubSpot, Mailchimp, ConvertKit and Shopify.Before we build, we’ll map the data flow — forms, payments, tagging, automations and thank-you pages — so everything works smoothly for your team.
-
Accessibility is considered throughout our design and build process. We focus on:
readable typography
clear colour contrast
logical page structure and hierarchy
alt text and image descriptions
keyboard-friendly layouts
mobile responsiveness
These practices improve usability and help support accessibility guidelines without adding extra work for your team.
