Our Process
How we build websites that last
Stage 01 / 04
Discover
Learning your business, audience and goals before a single layout exists, ensuring the site is built around how you actually sell.
Design
Layouts and journeys that reflect your brand, reviewed in the browser rather than as flat images.
Develop
Clean, scalable development and robust functionality, combining custom code with carefully selected tools to keep the site fast, flexible and easy to manage.
Deliver
Launch, backed by managed hosting and support with monitoring, backups and updates from the same team that built it.
Why DevEdge
One team, start to finish
Single point of contact
Design, development, hosting and SEO handled by one accountable team, never handed off between agencies.
UK & EU infrastructure
Hosting and data stay within the UK and EU, on fully managed, monitored infrastructure.
Support after launch
Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and updates so your site stays secure and current long after go-live.
“Good websites start with understanding. I take time to learn how your business works so we can build something that's clear, fast, and supports what you're trying to achieve.”

Questions
Before you get in touch
Straight answers on cost, timelines and ownership, what to ask any agency, and what our jargon actually means.
Ask us anythingWhat does a project cost?
It depends on the size of the site and the functionality it needs. We quote a fixed price after a short discovery call, so there are no hourly surprises.
How long will it take?
You get a dated schedule with the quote. Timelines move mainly on how quickly content and feedback come back, so we plan those in from the start.
Do you only build on WordPress?
WordPress is our core platform, but every project is approached around its requirements. We work with custom themes, page builders and WooCommerce, as well as React and other modern technologies where a custom solution makes more sense.
Can you take over an existing site?
Yes. We audit what's there, then improve or rebuild it. Migration and hosting moves are handled for you.
What happens after launch?
Most clients stay on a support plan for updates, backups, monitoring and changes, with hosting under the same roof.
Who will I be dealing with?
The same people who build the site. No account managers relaying messages, and no work passed to a third party without you knowing.
Do you work with clients across the UK?
Yes. We are a UK agency working with clients nationwide. Projects run over video calls and shared documents, so location makes no practical difference.
Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
We work with custom themes, page builders as well as React and other modern technologies where a custom solution makes more sense.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes. Pages are built from editable blocks, and you get a walkthrough at handover plus written documentation for your team.
Do I have to host with you?
No, but most clients do. Hosting with the team that built the site means one point of contact when something needs looking at.
Do you protect SEO during a rebuild?
Yes. URLs are mapped, redirects are set, metadata carries across and Core Web Vitals are checked before launch, so rankings are not left to chance.
Do you sign NDAs and work white label?
Yes. We deliver development for agencies under NDA, staying invisible to your client throughout.
Can you build AI features into an existing site?
Usually, yes. AI assistants, retrieval and automations can drop into a WordPress or WooCommerce site without a rebuild.
Six questions worth asking any agency, including us, before you sign anything.
What is the site built on?
Ask why the platform and technology have been chosen for your project. A good build should be fast, maintainable and appropriate for how your website needs to grow.
Who actually does the work?
Know who will design, develop and manage your project, and whether any work is outsourced. You should know who is responsible and who you'll be dealing with throughout.
What happens after launch?
Ask who handles updates, backups, security, monitoring and future changes. Ongoing responsibilities and support should be clearly defined before launch.
Who owns the website?
Make sure ownership is clear before you start. Understand who owns the domain, website, content and licences, and what happens if you decide to move elsewhere.
Are the scope, costs and timescales clear?
You should understand what's included, how the project will be charged, the expected timescale and how changes to the scope will be handled.
How will quality and performance be tested?
Ask how performance, responsiveness, accessibility and functionality will be tested before launch — and how issues will be identified afterwards.
