Overview — 01

We take pre-seed and seed-stage startups from a name and a deck to a live, indexed domain with a brand system, Next.js site, and SEO foundation in three to four weeks. Every day you send investors to a Notion page or a parked domain is a day your credibility erodes against competitors who look real. Our fixed-scope delivery covers logo, type, colour, copywriting, and a production-grade codebase — not a template dressed up as a product.

Logo design with three concept directions. Brand guidelines PDF covering colour, typography, tone. 5–15 pages on Next.js, Lighthouse 90+, mobile-first.

E-commerce via Stripe if you're selling products or subscriptions. Schema markup, sitemap, Google Search Console, keyword map. Three launch blog posts and a six-month editorial calendar. Your startup stops being invisible.

What You Get When Your Name Exists But Your Business Doesn't

Your domain lands on a blank Namecheap parking page. A buyer Googles your startup name and finds nothing. No logo. No homepage. No proof you're real. That silence kills credibility before you ever pitch. We build the identity system, Next.js website, Stripe checkout, and SEO foundation your business needs to exist in search, close deals, and stop losing buyers to 404s.

The gap — 02

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

You've got a brand name -- maybe you've had it for weeks -- but there's no logo, no website, nothing for people to actually find
Risk: And that gap is costing you. Every day a potential customer Googles your brand name and hits a dead end, that's a credibility hit you can't get back. Think about it: we form opinions about businesses in seconds. No online presence doesn't just mean "not found" -- it means "not real." I've seen solid businesses lose serious ground simply because they launched the name before they launched the brand. Don't be that business.
Honestly, this one stings a little
Risk: You've built something genuinely good, but your Canva logo and Squarespace template are quietly undermining it every single day. Customers notice. They might not say "that's a DIY logo" -- but they feel it. And that feeling translates directly into hesitation at checkout, or worse, clicking over to a competitor. Your product deserves a presence that actually matches it.
You know you need e-commerce, but here's the thing -- every Shopify Dawn template starts looking the same after a while
Risk: Your customers have seen it before. Generic builds generic trust, which is basically no trust at all. So you're stuck choosing between "live but forgettable" and "not live at all." Neither option is great.
Your competitor launched last month
Risk: They've already indexed pages, collected backlinks, and built familiarity with your shared audience. The real kicker? Every week that passes, that gap widens. Google rewards age and consistency -- so the longer you wait, the more ground you're giving up for free.

Safeguards — 03

How we build this right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility

Every site we ship meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA colour contrast, keyboard navigation, and ARIA landmark requirements so you are not exposed to accessibility complaints on launch day.

Core Web Vitals Pass on Handoff

We target green Lighthouse scores for LCP, CLS, and INP before the site goes live, because Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal and investors notice slow sites.

IP and Code Ownership Transfer

Your brand files, domain, repository, and all third-party licence seats transfer to you at handoff with no ongoing dependency on our infrastructure or tooling.

Process — 05

Our development process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Discovery and Positioning Sprint

1 week

We run a structured async questionnaire and a single two-hour call to extract your positioning, competitors, audience, and tone. We do not start designing until we agree on what the brand needs to say and to whom.

02

Brand Identity and Design System

1-2 weeks

Logo, typography, colour, and iconography are developed and presented in two rounds. Final files are delivered in every format your team will need — SVG, PNG, Figma library, and PDF brand guide.

03

Site Build and Content Integration

1-2 weeks

We build the Next.js codebase, integrate your copy and brand system, configure the CMS or MDX content layer if required, and connect analytics, contact forms, and any e-commerce functionality in scope.

04

QA, SEO Audit, and Handoff

1 week

We test across browsers and devices, run a pre-launch SEO audit, submit the sitemap to Google Search Console, and walk your team through the codebase and CMS in a recorded handoff session before transferring all credentials.

Frequently asked questions

Here's what's actually included: logo design, colour palette, typography selection, and a brand guidelines PDF you'll actually use. Then a Next.js website -- anywhere from 5 to 15 pages -- built to hit Lighthouse 90+ scores. E-commerce via Stripe if you need it. SEO foundation with schema markup, sitemap, and Google Search Console setup. Plus a content strategy with a full keyword map and 3 launch-ready blog posts. Everything ships in 3-4 weeks. Pretty straightforward, no hidden phases.
Basic packages run GBP 8-12K -- that covers the logo, a 5-page site, and SEO foundations. Standard sits at GBP 12-20K and adds e-commerce, a blog setup, and content strategy. Premium at GBP 20-25K brings in multi-language support, AI features, and the full brand guidelines PDF. Most founder-led businesses we work with land somewhere in Standard, but it really depends on what you're launching with.
Book a discovery call and we take it from there. We start with the name from your Brand Intelligence Report and execute everything -- domain acquisition, trademark filing, identity design, website build, and launch. The generator is the top of our funnel. But this service is where the name actually becomes a business. There's a real difference between having a name and being operational, and this is how you close that gap.
Yes, absolutely. If you've already got a logo and brand guidelines locked in, we skip the identity phase entirely and go straight to website, SEO, and launch. That trims the timeline down to 2-3 weeks and brings the price to GBP 8-15K depending on how complex the site needs to be. Honestly, it's one of the cleaner engagements we run -- less back-and-forth, faster to live.
