PHP2Shell and the case for public sites that don't run code
Two critical PHP bugs sent organisations scrambling. Here's why a static public site, with a headless CMS like Sanity behind it, sidesteps that whole class of problem.
Websites that feel like you.
Custom web design shaped around your brand, your audience and your goals, so your site looks the part and is easy to use. No off-the-shelf themes, no page builders, no lookalikes.
What you end up with: a site people trust at first glance.
Good design isn't just pretty.
It's how people decide whether to trust you, often before they've read a word. So every choice we make has a job to do.
Looks like you
Your colours, your fonts, your voice. People should know it's you at a glance, not mistake you for a template.
Easy to use
Clear pages and obvious next steps, so visitors find what they came for without having to think about it.
Made to be found
Designed with Google and AI answers in mind from the very first sketch, not bolted on at the end.
Everything your design needs.
Not just a pretty picture. A complete, considered design, made with you.
- A plan for every pageEvery page gets one clear job and an obvious next step.
- A design systemColours, type and components that stay consistent as you grow.

We'll take it on, and keep it consistent.
Lots of people come to us with a logo they love and nothing else. We'll gather what you have, tidy it into a simple guide, and carry it through to everything else.

Designed with you, not for you.
You'll get a live design you can click through and comment on, right on the page. We talk it through, tweak it, and only start building once it feels right.

- Comments straight on the page, like a shared doc
