A better website helps people understand your offer, find the information they need and take a useful next step. We plan the structure and journeys before refining the design and building the functionality. Capabilities ## From first visit⏎ to lasting value. Choose the capabilities your project needs. We agree the scope and responsibilities before work begins. [Discuss your project ](https://codexcollective.co.uk/contact/) ### Discovery & website planning Review your goals, audiences and existing website. Agree the page structure, content requirements and functions the new website needs to support. ### UX & interface design Develop navigation, page layouts and responsive interfaces around real tasks. Balance visual expression with readable content and clear calls to action. ### Brand-led web design Translate your identity into a coherent digital experience. Define typography, colour, imagery and interaction choices that remain consistent across pages. ### Gutenberg & reusable components Build reusable blocks, patterns and templates so routine content changes are manageable. Agree which design controls editors need and which should stay consistent. ### Ecommerce & integrations Scope product, checkout and business-system requirements before building. Assess the available APIs, data ownership and failure cases for each integration. ### Testing, launch & support Check key journeys, responsive layouts, accessibility and launch settings. Plan migration and redirects where needed, then agree ongoing maintenance and improvements. ![Illustrative office scene of a developer reviewing a website at a studio workstation]( https://codexcollective.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/codex-web-development.webp) Design meets development ## A strong first impression.⏎ A useful next step. Your website should feel like your business and make the next action clear. We connect content, interface design and development from the start, rather than resolving them separately at the end. 01 ### Journeys before decoration Plan the structure around the questions and tasks that bring people to your website. 02 ### A considered experience Bring brand expression together with readable content, responsive layouts and accessible interactions. 03 ### Built for everyday publishing Use reusable WordPress components to keep editing straightforward and the design consistent. How the work takes shape ## Clear stages.⏎ Considered decisions. Agree the direction, review the work and launch with a clear handover. 01 ### Plan Agree the structure, journeys, content and functionality. 02 ### Design Develop the visual direction and key page experiences. 03 ### Build & test Implement the components and test agreed devices and functions. 04 ### Launch Complete the checks, publish and hand over the editing guidance. Your questions, answered ## Web Design & Development, your questions answered. Practical details to help you plan the next step. **Do you design and develop the website?** Yes. We connect website planning, UX, interface design and WordPress development. The proposal defines the pages, functionality, content responsibilities and testing scope. **Can you work with our existing branding?** Yes. We can use your current identity and guidelines. If digital applications need refinements, such as clearer typography or accessible colour choices, we discuss those first. **Will we be able to update the website?** The editing experience uses Gutenberg blocks, patterns and templates with agreed controls. Handover and training cover routine updates; new functionality remains a development task. **When do we need Enterprise WordPress?** Enterprise WordPress is relevant when publishing governance, integrations, multiple sites or a large content estate add operational complexity. It is about requirements, not simply business size. **How long will the project take?** The timetable depends on the scope, content readiness, functionality and review process. We agree a plan after discovery and identify the decisions and materials needed along the way.
