Our approach to website design projects

Easy to use and flexible page builder

Designed from scratch

All web designs are prototyped in browser, so you can see the finished article before we go into build – what you see in design is what you get!

Highly accessible, super fast

Our builds are developed to a high accessibility standard and are fast to load – great for your users and the planet, and it keeps Google happy!

Lead generation and search always in mind

Our team of marketers are involved at all stages of the project, from keyword research and competitor analysis, through to full SEO checks, conversion tracking and 301 redirects at launch.

Quality support

Client Reviews

More on our Theatre web design services

  • With over 100 websites on our servers, ensuring the highest security standards is absolutely essential for us. We apply multiple levels of security – at the domain level through SSL certificates and a CDN, at server level through bot protection and firewalls, and at application level through WordFence security, virtual patching of plugins and password policies. We also reduce our reliance on potentially vulnerable plugins by building features bespoke from scratch. We monitor our sites daily, and have a rigorous update schedule.

  • Yes! SEO is an essential element of every web design project – or, at least, it should be. Technical SEO plays a major part in a site’s performance on search, so the way the site is designed and built in order to be understood by search engines is very important. Our designers also work closely with our content and marketing teams to consider every aspect of the site’s user journey and how it can assist conversions.

  • Yes! It’s your website, you’ve paid for it, so you own it. All of the primary software we use to build our sites is open source, so you won’t have to pay us any licensing fees.

  • There is always the potential for a website to take a hit to its SEO performance in a redesign or rebuild project – that’s why it needs careful management from a team that understand the impact of any changes on SEO. We always conduct SEO audits of the sites we build to ensure pages with vital rankings and backlinks are not lost, and implement full 301 redirect strategies on launch. Our goal is to reduce risk as much as possible – even if you are switching to an all new domain name.

  • Absolutely! We specialise in developing accessible branding concepts that feed directly into the full range of digital requirements a brand will have to fulfil in a new site. You can explore some of our branding projects in our portfolio if you’d like to see what our team are capable of!

  • We don’t design to templates! And we don’t use out-of-the-box themes, either. Everything we create is completely bespoke to you, so you get the website that you need. Even within your site, we don’t restrict you to just a couple of page layouts – you’ll have amazing flexibility to build pages exactly to your liking.

  • How soon do you want to get started? We can usually kick off a web project within a couple weeks of an enquiry if we need to – if not less! The first steps are to jump on a call with us to discuss your requirements – this will help us refine our quote to give you the best solution at the right cost. If you choose to go ahead with us, we’ll dive right into a discovery phase, working with you to set a creative, technical and content brief for the site.
