[01] Local context

Why Nottingham businesses pick custom over off-the-shelf.

Nottingham has plenty of design agencies, but the dominant platform is still WordPress on shared hosting, with sites that load in 4–6 seconds and score 50–70 on Lighthouse. That is increasingly a competitive disadvantage as Google weights Core Web Vitals more heavily every year.

We build custom React sites that hit 95+ Lighthouse out of the box and load in under a second. Same money as a "premium" WordPress build, but the site genuinely outperforms what most Nottingham agencies can deliver — because most Nottingham agencies stopped writing custom code years ago.

CMS-driven (Sanity or headless WordPress), source-code-yours, fixed-price. Most Nottingham marketing sites come in at £1,500–£4,000.

[03] Why local

Ten minutes from Nottingham.
Not three hours.

Nottingham businesses have access to dozens of agencies, most of which run the layered model — account manager, project manager, junior dev, senior dev signing off. We strip that to one accountable person, working out of Newark (25 minutes from Nottingham city centre). Same craft, half the cost, and you get the actual builder on every call.
