Our 5 Pillar framework diagnoses what's holding your website back, then shows you exactly how to fix it. We've already scored 9,565 Bristol websites on it, and the average was just 42 out of 100. See where yours sits.
The dashboard is slow, one wrong click breaks the layout, and the simplest change starts to feel like a risk. We scored 9,565 Bristol sites and watched the same pattern repeat, and the biggest culprit is the content management system.
So we stopped building on them entirely. Our sites load before the old ones have finished thinking. There's no dashboard underneath, and when something needs changing you message a person who knows your business. We call it post-CMS. We think in ten years everyone will.
We create your site's score first as this tells you exactly what is working and what is not. It is free and you have full access to the report, regardless of whether you would like to explore options with us further. Foundations is the answer to 'How can I improve my score?'.
We created a 5 Pillar foundational framework that we believe can improve every website.
The Diagnostic turns that nagging feeling into a number and a ranked list of fixes, written in plain English. Hand it to us, to the agency you already pay, or fix it yourself; the report is yours either way.
Run the Diagnostic
Foundations exists because content management systems turned updating a website into a job nobody wants. Every build runs the same way:
Hosting is included, with updates by message. From £99 a month, no upfront fee, cancel any time.
See all three tiersOver the last three years we've built nearly 30 WordPress websites, and we quickly realised that in this market you need to offer more than just a website to charge a premium. So every site is meticulously planned: research, strategy document, copywriting, design and build.
We still love these sites; it's just that technology has brought us a better option. All past clients can move their site straight over to Foundations for little more than their annual hosting fee.
Ori interviews you about your business the way a good consultant would, but on your time. If inspiration strikes at midnight, hop on and complete onboarding. Your answers will shape the strategy we write.
After launch the conversation carries on: message Ori in your account, or us on WhatsApp, Slack or Discord, and changes go live within days. Aaron stays the human in the loop, and the AI covers the work that used to need another five people, which is why the price starts at £99 and you always deal with someone who knows your business.
An example conversation with Ori: a client asks to add a new team member to their site, Ori collects the name, role and photo, and the update lands within hours.
Vanessa came to us avoiding a website, because she didn't know what to say on it. We did the thinking with her first, and the message below arrived the morning after she read her strategy document.
Most clients arrive asking for a faster website, and the feedback afterwards is rarely about speed. What they praise is that we understood the business before we built anything.
The average Bristol website scores 42 out of 100, only 11% pass Google's speed test, and the typical site takes 7 seconds to load on a phone. Every one of those numbers comes from a public dataset you can search.
The whole framework is public: every check, every weighting, every threshold, so you can see exactly why a site lands where it does. Read it before you trust a word we say.

We're building the biggest open dataset of small-business websites ever assembled, city by city, named, scored and published. Bristol is chapter one at 9,565 sites and climbing.
Search the leaderboardIt's honestly both. The score is free, the full report costs your email, and what comes back is the report plus the useful stuff we'd otherwise charge for. It's a lead magnet, it's the same machine we'd build for you, and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
Yes and no! The carousel above are all WordPress sites, built with the exact same methodology as Foundations, from onboarding to strategy. The difference from now to two years ago is that we're able to build them so much quicker with help from AI. By reducing the price to reflect this, we're able to sell and build many more websites than we previously had capacity for.
You can cancel any month with no fee, and the site goes offline the month after. Your domain stays registered to you from day one, because we never hold it: going live is just pointing your nameservers at our hosting. The site and its content stay ours, since £99 a month buys the service that runs a site rather than the site, and if you want to keep it when you leave there's a one-time buyout priced according to how long you've subscribed. Full terms are on the Foundations page in plain English.
It matters more each month. When someone asks an answer engine about your category, you want your business in the reply, and most aren't yet. The Launch & Perform tier is built for exactly that, and the Diagnostic will show you where you stand today.
Not to change the site, no. You message us in whichever channel you prefer and changes land within days. There's no CMS dashboard under the site to learn or break. Your account area holds billing, your documents and Ori, our onboarding strategist; it's there when you want it, never homework.
Run the Diagnostic. It's free, you get a real score with the actual fixes, and if you'd rather talk it through first, we'll put the kettle on.
