Web design & online stores

Hand-coded websites that turn visitors into customers

Every page written by hand, line by line, around your business. That is what makes it load fast, leaves no plugin sitting there waiting to be broken into, and keeps your customers' details private. The site is yours to own outright, and when you want one, an AI agent can answer your visitors right inside it.

Not sure which fits? Start with a free strategy call and we will map it out with you, no obligation. Weighing Wix or Squarespace instead? The honest comparison.

Every site ships private and secure by default: HTTPS, sensible security headers, no third-party bloat, and your data stays yours. How we handle your data.

Included with every build

Every site we build ships with full SEO, AEO and GEO setup

Search engines, answer engines and AI assistants all read your site differently. We set up all three, on every build, so customers find you wherever they ask.

SEO

What Google and Bing read when they crawl the site.

  • Schema suiteBusiness, service, FAQ and article markup on every page, so engines understand who you are.
  • Search Console and Bing setupBoth consoles verified, sitemap submitted, coverage watched from day one.
  • Sitemap and robotsClean crawl paths, AI crawlers explicitly welcomed, junk pages kept out of search.
  • Speed budgetPages built and kept under a strict weight budget, because slow sites lose rankings and customers.

AEO

What ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity quote when someone asks them instead.

  • Answer-formatted copyKey sections open with a direct answer, the format AI search prefers to quote.
  • llms.txt for AI assistantsA plain-language index that tells the assistants what you do and where you do it.
  • IndexNowNew and changed pages pinged to the engines that support instant indexing.

GEO

What decides whether you show up for the town you actually work in.

  • Google Business Profile wiringYour site and profile point at each other cleanly, hours and services matching.
  • Local landing structureTown and service pages built the way local search actually ranks them.

This is the same setup running on this site right now. It ships with every package at no extra charge.

The whole build

We build the part you see and the part you do not

A website is really a pile of parts: the pages people see, the code behind them, the payments, the email, the search setup. We build every one of those ourselves, here in Westerly, and we can point you to the exact piece doing the work.

01

Design and brand

You get your own colours, type and icons, drawn for your business, not a theme other people are using too.

02

Written by hand

Every page is written line by line, so there is no page-builder bloat and nothing loading that you never asked for.

03

The part underneath

We build the code behind the pages too, and your records sit in your own store, separate from every other client.

04

Taking payment

You can take card payments the day the site goes live, and card numbers go straight to Stripe, never onto our servers.

05

Email that sends itself

Order confirmations and new lead alerts send on their own, so nobody has to remember to do it.

06

An assistant on the site

If you want one, an assistant answers your visitors around the clock from facts you approve, and hands you the real leads.

07

Search and AI answers

Every build ships ready for Google and Bing, and for the AI assistants people now ask instead of searching.

08

After launch

Monitoring and backups start at $99 a month, and the plans that include your monthly changes run $199 or $349.

Same two people from the first call to the day after launch. No subcontractors, no handoffs, nobody to chase but us.

Security and privacy

Fewer moving parts, fewer ways in

Websites get broken into through the parts nobody looks at, a plugin that stopped updating or a login that was never turned off. We build with fewer of those parts, and we would rather show you than tell you. Every line below is something you can check yourself, right now, without asking us first.

No plugins to patch

Written by hand, so there is no page builder and no plugin left unpatched.

Check it yourself

View source on this page. Every line is ours.

The padlock, everywhere

Every page loads over HTTPS, and browsers are told to refuse the unencrypted address.

Check it yourself

Look at the padlock, then try http:// and watch it upgrade.

Card numbers skip us

Card numbers never touch your site. Checkout runs on Stripe's own pages.

Check it yourself

Click any payment button and read the address bar.

Analytics without the names

Visits are counted with the address anonymised, never an email or a typed word.

Check it yourself

Open the analytics file this site loads and read it.

Your leads, kept apart

The leads an assistant collects sit in a store keyed to you, unreadable by any other client's key.

Ask to see it

We will walk you through the store on a call.

Where to report trouble

A security problem reaches a real inbox we read and answer.

Check it yourself

/.well-known/security.txt

The customer details your site collects are yours, not ours. We never sell or rent them, and when you leave, a scheduled sweep deletes your service data within thirty days and logs what it removed. The longer version lives on our security page.

Hand-built

Hand-coded, line by line

No template starts this. Every section is placed on purpose, for one business, and nothing ships until it earns its spot. That is also why each build is secure and private by default: hand-code means no page-builder bloat and no trackers you did not ask for, with HTTPS and security headers from day one, and card details go straight to Stripe, never our servers.

Questions before you build

Do I own the website?

Once the project is paid in full, you own the finished site and its project-specific code. We hand it over with no lock-in to BellCode. Third-party platforms and assets keep their own licenses, and any reusable components are identified in your project agreement.

Can you really build a full online store?

Yes. We build complete stores on WooCommerce or Shopify, with products, variations, shipping, automated tax and secure checkout. You get a real, manageable store, not a fragile workaround.

Can you add booking, forms or member logins?

Yes. We integrate proven, reliable tools for scheduling, payments, intake forms and accounts, so these features work smoothly and keep working, instead of breaking down the road.

How long does it take?

Most marketing sites launch in a couple of weeks. Stores, booking systems and member areas take longer because there is more to build and test. You get a clear timeline in your quote before anything starts.

What does it cost?

The Standard Website is $2,000 flat and the Premium Website is $4,000 flat. The Founding Client Offer makes the Standard Website $1,250 for the first three client spots. It includes up to five pages, an ultra fast build that looks perfect on phone and desktop, search-ready structure and no templates. Web stores are quoted to your catalog.

Are there ongoing costs?

Some features carry their own running costs, like hosting, a store platform, or payment processing. We lay these out clearly up front, and our optional care plans keep everything updated, secure and fast after launch.
