We publish rarely and only when we have something specific to say. No listicles, no “10 web design trends for 2026”, and no posts written to hit a word count.
66% of people trust Google Search for local business info. Only 36% trust the business own website. Here are the five things usually wrong with your listing.
Fewer than one in five of the smallest US businesses use AI at all. Here are the three things worth doing, the four to avoid, and where to start.
Paying for a website does not, by itself, transfer ownership of it. A twelve-point audit of your domain, code, hosting, store, app and accounts — with the ICANN and copyright rules that back you up.
Every post on this web development blog starts from a question a client actually asked us on a call. If we cannot answer it with a number, a contract clause or a working example, we do not publish it.
Real numbers and the reasoning behind them, rather than “it depends” followed by a contact form.
Contracts, credentials, code, accounts. The parts of a project nobody explains until it is too late to change them.
How a build actually runs week to week — scoping, phases, testing, handover — and where projects usually go wrong.
Most agency blogs exist to catch search traffic. Posts get commissioned against a keyword, written by somebody who has never shipped the thing being described, and published on a schedule. You can usually tell within two paragraphs. This web development blog works the other way round: a post exists because a client asked something on a call that deserved a longer answer than a call allows.
That means three practical rules. First, every figure is sourced and linked, so you can check it rather than take our word for it. Second, if the honest answer is “you do not need this”, that is what the post says — several of the questions we get most often have answers that cost us work. Third, nothing gets published to a calendar. A quiet month means we had nothing worth your time, which is closer to Google’s own guidance on helpful content than a weekly posting habit ever was.
The subjects come from the same places our projects do: web development, WordPress and WooCommerce, ecommerce, mobile apps and custom software. If a topic keeps coming up in scoping calls, it eventually turns into a post here. If you want the short version instead, the FAQ covers cost, timelines and ownership in a page.
One last thing worth saying plainly, because it is the reason this web development blog exists at all: almost every expensive mistake we are asked to fix was avoidable with information the client was never given. Nobody told them the domain was registered in the agency’s name. Nobody explained that paying for software does not automatically make it yours. Nobody mentioned that the platform takes a percentage of every order if you use your own payment processor. Reading is cheaper than rebuilding.
If you have a build coming up and want a straight answer on scope, cost or timeline, send it over. You will get a considered reply, including an honest no if we are not the right team.
Same fixed price and the same person building it, wherever you are. Tell us your city and we will tell you what we already know about it.
Your website written around the jobs you actually get called out for — the searches, the hours, the emergencies. Not a template with your logo on it.
Thirty minutes with the person who would build it. A real number and a date.
