Custom Web Development Services Designed for Success

Flexibility, functionality, and expertise, tailored for you

Custom web development gives you the power to shape your online presence exactly as you envision it. Unlike no-code or low-code builders, which limit design and functionality with pre-set templates, custom web development offers complete flexibility. Want a website that stands out, performs flawlessly, and grows with your business? A custom solution allows you to create a unique experience for your users, ensuring every element is built to align with your business goals and brand identity.

At Square One Digital, we’ve been crafting bespoke websites for over 15 years. Our team doesn’t just focus on coding; we bring a full-service approach to our projects, integrating marketing, sales, and branding into the web development process. This means your site doesn’t just look great and function smoothly, it becomes a powerful tool to attract customers, boost engagement, and drive long-term growth.

Why Choose Square One Digital for your Custom Web Development?

Beautiful Websites & Respect For Your Brief

We want you to have intimate control over the look and feel of your website. Our inspiration workshop will see us review designs relevant to your vision and document all the styles, colours and fonts you love and hate. Intricate design work is carried out – live – with you, we’ll share our screens and design together.

Weekly Meetings & Guaranteed 72 Hour Response Times

You should never have to wait weeks or months for updates. Our projects revolve around meetings that take place every 1-2 weeks, to report on progress and complete content and design tasks together if needed. This helps us beat deadlines and avoid being overwhelmed from taking on too many projects.

Projects Delivered on Time Every Time. No Excuses.

As a team of UK experts, random holidays or illness won’t throw your project into disarray like with smaller teams or solo freelancers. We invest heavily into operations and management, so our projects aren’t held up when business issues rear their ugly heads, as we can competently deal with both at the same time.

Zero Reliance on Us to Update Content

We’d LOVE to empower you, so you can update your site without having to come to us every time. We’ll map out every part of the site you’ll want to be able to change and make sure that you have an easy to use interface that gives you full control. One off, small text tweaks are always free if your site is hosted with us.

Never Fear Sudden Price Increases

Failure to fully understand client requirements usually causes web projects to go over budget. By properly mapping out design preferences as well as current and future website feature requirements, we avoid unexpected scope changes or needing to charge more for work we didn’t originally know we’d have to do.

Lightning Fast Speeds For Everyone

Two factors control the load time of a web page, the amount of code used to build a page and the speed of the server. Because we code every web page by hand, we use the least possible code, so our super fast servers have less to load. This is why we don’t use low quality themes or drag and drop page builders.

Upgrade Your Website Any Way You Like

Within the realms of practical application and sensible budgeting, you really can do anything you like with our websites. Our developers can implement virtually any design or feature and our websites are designed to handle the requirements of heavy duty marketing campaigns and integrations with mainstream apps.

Unwavering Dedication to Ethical Practices

We pride ourselves on making tough decisions and being the kind of partner you want to rely on. Whether it’s sacrificing profit to ensure the success of a client project, rejecting requests from one client to copy the work of another or simply following through on promises we make, we try hard to always be the good guys.

Some of our Custom Web Development Clients

Our Web Development Process

Our process and the extra steps we take to make sure every website we build is unique, beautiful and fully optimised

Discovery Workshop

Over two Zoom sessions we’ll talk about the goals, features and styling for your website. We’ll also share our screen and talk through some other website designs in your space to start generating ideas for your website.

The first session is free, the second is £150 +VAT and counts as credit towards your full web project if you go ahead with us.

Book a Free Inspiration Session

Initial Scoping

Working with you we’ll start to define the basic requirements of your new website. This includes mapping out all the different primary and sub pages you want. We’ll talk about any features you want and then give you estimates around timeframes and costs.

Project Agreement

Once the details of your projects have been shared, digested and discussed, we’ll put everything that’s been agreed into a Project Agreement document to clarify what we’ll deliver and by when. It’ll also outline any guarantees you require, the go-live date and your experience with us.

Inspiration Workshop

We want you to feel proud of your website and confident it’ll impress the socks off anyone having a look. We’ll create a board of inspiration, filled with high quality design work from your sector and together we’ll document everything you love and hate to make it easy to understand your vision.

Content Planning

Before any design or development work begins we’ll plan out what website content is needed and by when, so that you don’t have to worry about being surprised part way through a project with time-consuming content requests that, if not dealt with urgently, will likely cause delays.

Wireframing

Once we have all the details we’ll start wireframing your new website, like an architect creating a blueprint. It will confirm what’s going on each web page, how it should look and, if it’s ready, what type of content will need to be included.

Design

This is where the magic happens! We’ll now take the wireframes and convert the key pages, starting with the home page, into beautiful and fully designed pieces of artwork. In about 80% of cases our clients sign-off on the first designs we produce.

Development

As soon as the first design is signed off our developers will get to work building out your new website. We’ll give you access to our development environment straight away, so you can check in on progress whenever you like.

Device Optimisation

Now it’s time to make sure that everyone visiting your website has a great experience whether they’re looking at your site on a tiny mobile screen, a giant desktop monitor or anything in between.

Final Review

Once we’ve completed a final internal review to find and fix any bugs or issues, it’s time for you to check out your new website and confirm any final tweaks you want us to make or that you’re ready to go ahead with launch!

Launch!

As soon as everything’s signed off and you give us the go ahead, we’ll book in your site’s go-live date and potentially a time for celebratory drinks too! Did someone say cocktails..?
