Beauty Meets Performance

As an award-winning SEO & digital agency, our websites are built to perform as good as they look.

With Google’s ever-growing focus on technical quality, our lightweight custom WordPress themes give your company the perfect foundation to rank well in Search Engines.

Better still, our average site build takes 3-months to complete start to finish.

Our Website Development Process

Get your dream site in the shortest time possible.

Design Brief (Est. 5 Weeks)

After completing the design brief, we use both our internal design team, and external suppliers to create a whole range of creative concepts. Traditionally, you may receive 3 website designs - with our process, you'll receive 20+ designs to choose from.

Website Dev (Est. 6 Weeks)

Once we've finalised the page designs, our development team builds your website from the ground up. We don't touch landing page builders (like Elementor & Beaver Builder). Instead, we build custom WordPress themes from scratch. To make the CMS easy to manage we create a custom page builder (using ACF) to ensure you can reuse any of the custom modules.

SEO & Hosting (Est. 1 Week)

As an award-winning SEO agency, we know the technical pitfalls that can hinder a new / migrated website's organic search performance. From URL mapping to on-page optimisation we ensure your site has the foundations to perform. We also offer managed WordPress hosting with DDoS protection to ensure your site is secure.

"Having worked on website projects before you go into the process thinking it's going to be a long slog, but the guys at Session managed to get this project turned around quickly with exactly what we were after"

What Our Development Process Includes

Tracking Set-up

Once you're website is live we ensure all the relevant analytics tags & events are properly implemented - so you can easily monitor the performance of your new site.

CRM Integration

Regardless of CRM you are using, we can set-up all your inbound enquiries to be pushed straight into your CRM - so you can keep on top of your attribution.

Phone Tracking

We can set-up dynamic call tracking, which allows you to track where your inbound calls have originated from - which is key in B2B lead generation.

CMS Training

Once the website it live, your marketing team will receive training on how to create new pages and edit other sections within the CMS.

On-Going Development Support

We understand that websites need to evolve, so we can be on hand to ensure any new functionality needed for the site is built.

Daily back-ups and monitoring

As well as DDoS protection, our hosting offers daily back-ups as well as real-time server and SSL monitoring to ensure uptime.

Custom Build Website Vs Page Builders

Winner

Experiment

To paint the picture of how much better a custom-built website is than is a page builder, we built our new website in both. As you can see from the image above, using GTmetrix the custom-coded site has a near-perfect score, while the page builder looks exactly the same but is weighed down by excess Javascript and a heavy DOM load.

Frequently Asked Questions

On average we charge between £1000-£1500 per template. The average site has between 12-15 templates.

We sure do! A website without tracking is like having a watch that doesn’t tell the time.

Because they are heavy and non-native to WordPress. Also, we see a lot of companies spend tens of thousands on their new site without the knowledge it’s being built on one – and it requires little to no technical knowledge. We’re not saying they can’t rank, because we’ve seen it (even done it) – we’re saying if you’re getting one built it should be a fraction of the cost.

Yes, we can if you’d like! Tracking calls as conversions is key to ensure you don’t miss out on valuable sales data.

Yes! We use Hotjar and can add this to your site after the build. We love Hotjar, but it does have a slight impact on page speed!

Across all of our websites, our uptime is 99.9%.
