Website Design and Development Services
If your website looks dated or makes people hunt for your phone number, it's costing you work. Our website design and development services give you a site that looks like the business you've built, connects to the tools you use, and that your team can update themselves.

What Our Website Design and Development Services Include
Whatever we build, we build it so your team can make everyday changes themselves, like updating a price, swapping a photo or adding a page, without waiting on a developer. You're never locked into paying us for small edits, and the site stays yours to run.
- A sitemap and wireframes Before anything is designed, we work out what the site has to do for your business and map every page it needs in a sitemap. Then we draw wireframes, plain layouts with no colors or images, so you can judge what goes where before any design time is spent.
- Custom copy We write the words on your site for your business, or work in the copy you already have. If you use our SEO services, we build in the SEO content we produce from keyword and competitor research.
- Custom design A design made for your business and styled in your brand, so the site looks like your company and nobody else's.
- Development and integrations We build the design into a working website and connect it to the tools you run on: your forms, your booking tools, other third-party apps, and your CRM, the system that holds your customer records.
- Testing and launch Before the site goes live, we test its speed, check that everything on it works, and check it on phones.
- Support after launch You get 30 to 60 days of support for any issues from the launch.
What a New Website Does for Your Business
Search results and ads bring people to your website, and what they find there decides whether they get in touch. A new site changes that moment in three ways.
- A site that loads and works. A visitor who hits a slow or broken page leaves, and you never hear about it. We test speed, function and how the site behaves on a phone before launch.
- Enquiries that reach you. Your forms and booking tools are connected to your CRM and the other tools you use, so an enquiry lands where your team already works and nobody has to go looking for it.
- A site that stays current. A website goes out of date the day your business changes and nobody can update it. Your team can edit this one themselves, the same day, without waiting on us or paying for a small change.
How We Price Website Design
Every website is a custom project, so we price our web design services to the scope of each build. That scope comes down to three things.
- The pages. The sitemap sets which pages we design and build.
- The design. How much custom design and brand styling those pages need.
- The connections. The tools the site has to work with, such as forms, booking tools, your CRM and third-party apps.
How Our Website Design and Development Process Works
We build in a set order, settling each stage before the next one starts, and an average website takes about four to six weeks when your team gives feedback promptly.
- Planning and sitemapping
We start with what the website has to do for your business, then set out the sitemap: every page the site needs and how the pages link together.
- Wireframing
We draw the wireframes next, so the layout of each page is settled while it's still quick to change.
- Design
We apply your brand styling to the wireframes and design each page around your business.
- Development and integrations
Then comes the custom web development: we build the site to the finished design and connect your forms, booking tools, CRM and any third-party apps.
- Testing and launch
We test speed, functionality and how the site works on mobile, fix what we find, then launch.
Why Businesses Choose Us for Website Design Services
Most of what makes a website work is decided before there's anything to look at, and that's the part owners tend to be left out of. We bring you in at the plan and keep you in through launch.
- Straight communication. We talk to you the way people talk to each other: upfront, in plain words, with nothing dressed up in technical language. You always know what's going on, why, and what it means for your business, whether that comes in a weekly update, a monthly strategy session or a quick Slack message.
- Consistent, reliable and quick. We don't go quiet for most of the month and reappear when the invoice is due. We keep the work moving, stay in touch, and catch problems before they turn into real ones. We'd rather be proactive than reactive.
- Built around your business. A cookie-cutter strategy doesn't work the way it used to. What works for one business doesn't always work for another, even in the same industry, and less so in a different market. So we start with an audit and market research, and let what we find set the strategy.

Joel SheranOwner, Total Impact Guns & Range Rated 5 out of 5Google review
I recently hired Modern Pulse Media to build the website for my new business, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
Sean was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. He truly listened to my vision and captured my ideas for the site perfectly. The final product was delivered exactly as promised and looks fantastic.
I will definitely be using them for my future marketing needs. If you're launching a new website or need SEO help, I highly recommend Sean and Modern Pulse Media.
Katherine WarrenOwner, Pelican Laundry Rated 5 out of 5Google review
Have had a great experience with Modern Pulse Media. The team initiates and responds to everything in a timely manner. They have a thorough and customized approach. They make sure that you approve everything prior, which is important to a business owner who likes to have a hands on approach and oversight. I have been with them a few months now and look forward to continuing having them run my marketing. It is hard to find a company who can make you stand out if you have a business in a saturated market, but Modern Pulse does just that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do website design and development services include?
Our website design and development services include planning and a sitemap, wireframes, custom design, development and integrations, and testing and launch. You end up with a website your team can edit without calling us, and 30 to 60 days of support after it goes live.
How much do web design services cost?
Every website we build is custom, so we price each one to its scope: the pages, the design and the tools the site has to connect to. A site with a few pages and a contact form is a smaller project than one with many pages and several tools to connect.
How long does it take to build a website?
An average website takes about four to six weeks, as long as your team gives feedback promptly. Many rounds of feedback make it longer.
Can my team update the website without a developer?
Yes. We build your website so your team can edit it without calling us. We prefer to build on WordPress, because it gives us the most freedom to build, and we can work on another platform or with custom code when a project needs it.
Can you connect the website to our booking tool or CRM?
Yes. Our web development services include connecting your website to your forms, your booking tools and your CRM, the system that holds your customer records. We connect other third-party apps too, and we test that it all works before launch.
Do you host and maintain the website after launch?
No. We don't host or maintain your website after launch, but we support it for 30 to 60 days to deal with any issues from the launch. After that, we clean up small issues within reason, as long as they weren't caused by something outside our work. Fixing something changed on your side, or updating the site later, is billed by the hour.
How will I know what's happening during the build?
You see the work at each step of the build, starting with the wireframes, which set out the layout of your pages before design starts. You can reach us directly on Slack, WhatsApp or by email whenever you have a question.
