Read full review on GoogleTechnical foundations are engineering, not marketing. Here is exactly what is included in every build, and what you need a marketing partner for.
We build the technical foundations. For the ongoing marketing layer, we partner with Tom Burns Marketing.
The partnership: We build your site right the first time, so you don't need a monthly retainer to fix bad code. Tom handles the marketing strategy and ongoing campaigns. Two specialists, one clear split.
Most agencies build your site, then sell you a monthly retainer to fix what they got wrong. We build it right the first time.
Agencies using WordPress or page builders often charge extra to "optimise" the slow, bloated sites they just built. We hand-code from scratch with technical foundations baked in.
We build sites with solid technical foundations: fast, clean, and well-structured. The infrastructure is yours to keep. No monthly retainers required just to maintain what should have been built right.
We follow web standards and Google's guidelines to the letter. Semantic HTML, proper schema, genuine speed optimisations. This is engineering, not marketing magic. Boring? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
We don't do marketing. But we know someone who does. For link building, outreach, PPC, and campaign management, we refer clients to Tom Burns Marketing.
The split: We build the infrastructure. Tom drives the traffic. Two specialists, one clear boundary.
We do not do vanity metrics. Here is what we engineer into every site we build.
Average page load time across all our sites
Mobile-first design and development
Lighthouse performance score on static sites
We won't promise you'll rank #1 on Google tomorrow. Anyone who does is lying.
Search visibility has two parts: technical foundations and content that demonstrates your authority. We build the technical side and we write the content you need. What we don't do is the marketing layer - link building outreach, paid ads, and social media management.
What we can promise is this: your site will be fast, clean, and built to modern web standards. It will be mobile-friendly, accessible, and structured properly. The technical barriers to search visibility will be removed.
If you want marketing magic, we're not your agency. If you want solid technical infrastructure, let's talk.
