Website Development

Website development for brands whose website is the first impression.SimplyRem builds marketing websites, content platforms, and headless e-commerce experiences for companies whose brand is a conversion lever, not a brochure. This is craft-grade website development — editorial typography, considered motion, sub-second load times, and an SEO foundation built in from the first commit. Every engagement is led by a senior engineer and a senior designer working as a pair. No page-builder template dressed up as bespoke. No theme bought, recoloured, and resold.Need a logged-in product, dashboard, or complex application instead of a content-led site? That is our web application development practice — and the two share a stack, so a marketing site and the product behind it feel like one company.What we build

• Editorial marketing sites — for startups, studios, fintechs, and product companies where the website is the brand and the conversion engine.
• Headless CMS websites — Next.js or Astro front-ends powered by Sanity, Contentful, Storyblok, or Payload, so your marketing team ships content without a developer in the loop.
• WordPress & traditional CMS builds — when your team wants WordPress done properly: a custom block theme, ACF, clean performance, and none of the plugin bloat that makes WordPress a liability.
• Headless & custom e-commerce — Shopify (Hydrogen / Liquid), headless commerce on Next.js, and bespoke checkout flows for brands that have outgrown the default theme.
• Landing pages & campaign microsites — high-conversion, fast-turnaround pages with A/B testing and analytics wired in from day one.
• Website redesigns & replatforms — migrating off a slow, dated, or unmaintainable site without losing your search rankings or your content history.
• Design systems for the web — reusable component libraries and brand systems so every future page is on-brand and fast by default.

Why teams choose our website development services

• Editorial rigour. Our designers come from publishing and product backgrounds. Typography is a system, white space is a decision, and motion is designed alongside layout — not bolted on at the end.
• Senior-only delivery. A staff-level engineer and a senior designer own the build — no juniors quietly billed at senior rates.
• SEO and performance are built in, not bolted on. Core Web Vitals budgets, server-rendered HTML, semantic markup, structured data, and a clean URL architecture ship in every build — not in a "phase two" we both know never happens.
• Accessible by default. WCAG 2.2 AA is the floor. Keyboard navigation, contrast, focus management, and screen-reader semantics are part of every component.
• Your marketing team stays unblocked. We model the CMS around how your team actually writes, so content updates never require a developer or a deploy.
• Built to be handed over. Documentation, a component library, and a clean codebase mean the next developer — yours or ours — can move fast.
• Stay-on retainers. Most clients keep us on a monthly retainer for new pages, campaign launches, performance tuning, and the slow steady work of keeping a site fast as it grows.

Headless, WordPress, or a website builder — what should you choose?We are agnostic, and we will tell you honestly. A website builder (Webflow, Framer, Squarespace) is the right call when you need to launch this month, the content is relatively static, and your team will maintain it themselves. WordPress is the right call when you publish high volumes of content, need a mature editorial workflow, and have plugins or integrations that genuinely depend on the ecosystem. A headless build (Next.js or Astro plus a headless CMS) is the right call when performance, design freedom, and a unified stack with your product matter — and when you are investing in the website as a long-term asset rather than a quick brochure. Most ambitious brands we work with land on headless; we will tell you when you do not need to.Our website development process1. Discovery & strategy (1 week)We audit your current site, your analytics, your competitors, and your search performance. You leave with a sitemap, a content model, conversion-goal mapping, and an SEO baseline — even if you choose not to hire us for the build.2. Design (2–3 weeks)High-fidelity design in Figma, motion designed alongside layout, and a component system that makes every future page consistent and fast. Reviewed live with your team, not via comments on a static mock-up.3. Build in fortnightly incrementsYou see real pages deployed to a staging URL every two weeks. Performance budgets, accessibility checks, and SEO fundamentals are enforced in CI on every commit — not audited at the end.4. SEO, launch & migrationRedirect mapping (so you keep your rankings), structured data, sitemap and robots configuration, Core Web Vitals validation, and an analytics handover. We migrate content carefully and launch with a tested rollback.5. StewardshipLaunch is a milestone, not a finish line. Most clients retain us on a monthly retainer for new pages, campaign microsites, performance tuning, and the ongoing CRO and SEO work that compounds over time.The website development stack we ship
