// Service 01 · Design & Build
A website that earns its keep.
Whether you are starting from nothing or dragging a tired site into this decade, the job is the same: something fast and clear that turns visitors into enquiries. We build on our own platform, a custom CMS written in React, so anything on your site can be customized — no off-the-shelf themes, no plugin sprawl you will be stuck maintaining. Prefer WordPress? We build there too.
We work with every kind of business and every kind of budget. Brochure sites, online stores, booking systems, member portals, features nobody has built before — if you can describe it, we can scope it.
AI agents write the bulk of the code. Our designers and developers set the direction, review every line and own every decision. That is what keeps the timeline short without making the work thin.

// What this covers
Every project starts with a written scope and a fixed number. You will know what you are getting and what it costs before anyone opens an editor.
// What usually goes wrong
Website projects fail in the same four places.
None of these are technical problems. They are all things somebody decided not to sort out at the start.
01
The scope drifts
Nobody agreed what finished looks like, so month three arrives with half a site and a bigger invoice than the one you signed.
02
You cannot see it happening
Status emails that say making good progress while the actual work stays hidden until the day it lands in front of you.
03
It cannot bend to your business
A template platform that only does what its plugins allow. The moment you need something different, you are stuck waiting on a workaround.
04
It looks good and converts badly
A handsome homepage with no thought given to what a visitor is actually meant to do once they have finished admiring it.
// What you get
What is in every build.
Not a tier list. This is the floor, on every project, whatever the size.
Custom design
Drawn for your business, not adapted from a theme three of your competitors are also running.
Built to convert
A clear next step on every page. Forms, calls and bookings placed where people actually look for them.
Mobile first
Designed on the small screen first, because that is where most of your traffic already is.
Fast by default
Compressed images, clean markup and tuned hosting so pages arrive before people give up on them.
Technical SEO baked in
Structure, headings, schema and metadata handled during the build rather than bolted on six months later.
Copy that reads
Written for humans first and search engines second, in your voice rather than agency filler.
Stores and custom features
Online stores, booking flows, portals, calculators and integrations with the tools you already run, all built into the same platform.
Customize anything
Every page, layout, feature and workflow can be changed to fit your business. We built the platform, so nothing is off limits, and there is no pile of third-party plugins to keep patched.
// Two starting points
New build, or rescue job?
Both are routine here. The difference is what happens in the first two weeks.
You need a website that does not exist yet.
- No current site, or one you would rather nobody found
- Discovery, sitemap and design worked out from a blank page
- Structure, copy and brand direction agreed before any code is written
- Usually the quicker route, because nothing has to be untangled first
You have a website and it is holding you back.
- Dated, slow, awkward to update, or all three at once
- Content and search equity carried across rather than thrown away
- Redirects mapped page by page so your rankings survive the move
- Your existing site stays live and untouched until the moment we switch over
// How it runs
Agreed up front. Visible throughout.
The same beats as every project we run. No black boxes, no month-three mystery.
01
Scope and quote
We work out what the site has to do, who it is for and what finished means. You get a written scope and a fixed number before anybody starts building.
02
Structure and design
Sitemap first, then layout, then design. You approve the direction while it is still cheap to change your mind about it.
03
Build
Agents scaffold and write the code while our team directs, reviews and refines. You watch it come together on a live staging link rather than reading about it in an email.
04
Review and refine
You go through it page by page and tell us what is wrong. We fix, adjust and polish until there is nothing left on your list.
05
Launch and hand over
We migrate, redirect, test and go live — then walk you through the editor so you know how to run it.
Timings are typical for a standard business site. Larger builds scope differently, and every quote carries its own schedule.
// Built on
Our own platform. WordPress if you want it.
Every site runs on Depeche Press, our own content management system built on React. It gives you the editing tools you expect, from pages, posts and menus to forms and a shop, and because we wrote it, anything can be changed, extended or built from scratch to suit your business. It is more secure than a stack of third-party plugins and quicker to tailor. If you would rather stay on WordPress, we build there too.
Whatever the platform, if you can describe it, we can build it.

★★★★★
“They made the experience so easy while implementing everything we asked for promptly … We could not have efficiently migrated our entire website seamlessly without Depeche Code. Not to mention the cost was more than reasonable compared to what we were quoted by other companies.”
Bill McVay · Kairos Prison Ministry
★★★★★
“He was by far the most reasonable quote for the same amount of services that everyone else was offering. My entire website was done in about 3-4 weeks, he was great about updating me along the way, and making any changes that I needed.”
Brittany White · Medical Aesthetics
★★★★★
“Depeche Code resurrected our firm's website to a professional and mobile-friendly site in a cost efficient way. The process was easy and painless and very quick; keeping us informed of the progress along the way.”
Richard Brooderson · Law Firm
★★★★★
“They totally redesigned our website and we love the way it came out. They were a pleasure to work with — always very responsive and professional, as well as affordable. Highly recommend!”
Dentistry At Lake Nona
★★★★★
“Quick to respond and rich in creativity, they turned my ideas into a seamless online experience. We had an outdated website for our company and they updated it to a much more efficient modern site.”
Nate · Google Review
★★★★★
“My partner and I did tons of research on web designers and found Depeche Code to be the best all around … We have customers tell us all the time that we have an awesome website.”
Christina Gribkowsky · Orlando
// Before you ask
Questions we get every week.
How long does a website take?
A standard business site usually runs four to six weeks from scope to launch, and clients have had sites live in two. What actually moves the date is how quickly content and feedback come back to us.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. The editor handles pages, posts, menus and forms, so everyday changes are yours to make, and when you want something bigger we build it into the platform for you.
Can you redesign the site I already have?
That is a large share of what we do. We keep your content and search equity, map redirects page by page so rankings survive, and stage the whole rebuild while your existing site carries on serving customers.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope, so every project gets a written quote before work starts. We have built for one-person businesses and for national organisations, and we scope to your budget rather than pretending there is a single price.
Is my site really built by AI?
Agents write a lot of the code. Our designers and developers set the direction, review every line and make every call. It is how the work moves fast without the quality dropping — you are hiring the team, the agents just take the grunt work.
What happens after launch?
Nobody disappears. Hosting and maintenance are available as a monthly plan, and some clients have been on it for well over five years.
Let's scope your build.
Tell us what you need and you will get a written quote — not a discovery call designed to talk you into something bigger.
