A nice-looking site is not enough

Plenty of websites look the part and still do nothing for the business. They load slowly, they are invisible in Google, and they do not turn visitors into enquiries. That usually happens when design and search are treated as two separate jobs, handed to two separate teams.

We build the site and the search foundations together. The result is a website that looks right, loads fast, ranks for the terms your buyers use, and is structured to be cited by AI answers. Our Regional Digital Time Warp Study found nearly one in five local businesses have websites AI search cannot read - exactly the gap a proper build closes.

Design-only website build versus a search-first build that loads fast, ranks in Google and gets cited by AI.
How we work

From brief to launch in four steps.

Discovery, design, build, then launch and grow. Here is how a project runs, from the first call to a live site that is set up to rank.

Wolfstone web design process in four steps: discovery, design, build, then launch and grow.

What is included

Conversion-led design

Layouts built around buyer intent and clear calls to action, not decoration for its own sake.

SEO built in

Clean structure, metadata, internal linking and schema from the start, so the site is ready to rank, not retrofitted later.

AI search ready

Crawlable, well-structured content that AI platforms can read and cite, the same approach we use across our GEO work.

Fast and accessible

Strong Core Web Vitals, mobile-first layouts, and accessibility built to current standards.

Content migration

We move your existing pages across and add 301 redirects so you keep the rankings and links you already have.

Analytics and handover

Tracking configured, a site you can edit, and a clear handover so you are never locked in.

Why build with Wolfstone

We are a search-first studio. A site we build is designed to be found, not just admired, because we live in the same search results we are building you into.

Design and SEO in one team

Most studios design a site and leave ranking to someone else. We build for search and conversion together, so you do not pay twice to fix it.

We run our own brands

We build and operate our own websites in competitive regulated markets, so our design decisions are tested against real commercial results.

Built to be found by AI

Search is moving to AI answers. We build sites that are structured to be cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude, not just ranked on Google.

No lock-in

You own your site and your data. We hand over a site you can run, with the option of ongoing support if you want it.

Built by operators, not just designers

We come from financial services, one of the most competitive and regulated sectors online. We build and run our own brands there, so every design and build decision is tested against real commercial results.

That is why we build sites to rank and convert, not just to look good in a portfolio.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost?
Every build is quoted on scope, so a small brochure site and a large multi-template build are priced very differently. We give you a fixed quote after a short discovery call, once we understand the pages, features and integrations you need. There are no hidden project fees.
How long does it take to build a website?
A focused brochure site is usually 4 to 6 weeks. A larger build with custom templates, integrations or a content migration runs 8 to 12 weeks. We agree the timeline up front at the discovery stage and report progress every week.
Will my new website actually rank on Google?
That is the point of building with us rather than a design-only studio. We build the technical SEO and AI search foundations in from the first line of code: clean structure, fast load, schema, crawlability and correct canonicals. Design and search are one job here, not two.
Do you redesign existing sites or only build new ones?
Both. We often rebuild sites that look acceptable but load slowly, do not convert, or were never set up to rank. We keep the pages and links that earn traffic, fix the rest, and put 301 redirects in place so you keep your existing search equity.
What do you build websites on?
We choose the platform to fit the brief rather than forcing every client onto one system. For content-led and marketing sites we favour fast, modern stacks that score well on Core Web Vitals. For ecommerce we work with the platform that suits your catalogue and operations. We will recommend the right fit at discovery.
