Websites, and the systems behind them

Customers judge your business on the pages they can see. Your team lives with everything underneath: the enquiry that needs an owner, the booking that has to reach the diary, the order somebody has to fulfil.

Plenty of website projects only design the top half. We design and build both, and the lists below show where each of our services does its work.

A resin driveway installer’s website. One visit at 9:12 creates three jobs inside the business: a new enquiry assigned to a salesperson, a survey booked into the surveyor’s calendar and a deposit recorded in accounts.

Websites for manufacturers, installers and service businesses

A steel window manufacturer, a Greater Manchester installer, a skip hire firm and a hardware distributor need very different websites. Here’s what each one had to do.

What to fix before you rebuild

A website that isn’t working isn’t always a website that needs replacing. A missing product explanation needs different work from an order that gets retyped into another system, and both cost less to fix than a rebuild. Start with where customers or your staff get stuck.

  1. Customers can’t find the right product, or ring up to ask what you sell.

    A clearer product structure and page design
  2. Paid traffic lands on the homepage and leaves.

    A landing page that answers the advert
  3. Customers want to book or pay when your office is closed.

    Online booking, ordering and payment
  4. Enquiries sit in an inbox until somebody notices them.

    Routing, ownership and follow-up
  5. The same order gets typed into three different systems.

    A connection between them
  6. Nobody’s sure who looks after the website, or what it runs on.

    A support agreement and a proper handover

Questions about websites and technology

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

Do we need a new website, or can you improve the one we have?

Often the one you have. We start with where customers and staff get stuck. A clearer product structure, a better landing page or a connection between two systems can cost far less than a rebuild and arrive sooner. If the platform can’t support what the business needs, we’ll say so and explain why.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Usually. We check which systems hold your products, customers and orders, what they can share and how reliable that information is. Some connections are simple and some need a different approach. You’ll know which before the build is agreed.

Who owns the website when it’s finished?

Ownership is set out in the proposal: who holds the domain, hosting, licences and accounts, and what documentation you receive. We recommend your business keeps control of its own domain and accounts, whoever supports the site later.

Can you take on a website someone else built?

Yes. We review what’s there first, including the platform, plugins, hosting and access, then give you a plain account of what needs attention, what can stay and what a handover needs.

How long does a website project take?

It depends on the size of the site, the content and the systems it connects to. A focused landing page is a much shorter job than a technical site with integrations. The proposal sets out the stages, milestones and what we need from your team, so the timeline is one both sides can hold to.
