A considered website.
A practical next step.
Websites for independent businesses, authors and cultural projects. Clear structure, careful design and a site you can own and understand.
Three starting points
Start with what
the website needs.
A focused page, a small site, or a deeper catalogue. The estimator makes the delivery boundary visible before a proposal is agreed.
Space for the essentials.
Up to 7 distinct page layouts and 20 catalogue entries, such as projects or books. Pages with the same agreed layout can reuse one page type; the full page list is agreed before work starts.
Estimate a small website →Planning target: 4–6 weeks after materialsA deeper body of work.
Up to 15 distinct page layouts and 50 catalogue entries. For a larger collection of work, with reusable detail pages and agreed search or filters. Assessment first.

One person.
One active build.
A clear handover.
Direct work with the person building your site. A defined scope protects both the quality of the result and the time it takes.
- Define the useful version
Agree purpose, pages, content, revision rounds and acceptance criteria. Use the estimator to prepare a brief.
- Design, build and check
Responsive layouts, metadata and technical SEO foundations, plus an accessibility and performance pass.
- Launch on your accounts
One agreed deployment, domain connection and a practical handover. You own and pay for your domain and hosting directly.
- Choose follow-up deliberately
Optional care comes in fixed blocks. No required subscription and no unlimited support promise.
Also in development
Software for the work behind the website.
Systead’s House and specialist Programs are early-stage software. Website commissions are the current service focus; software releases will follow their own proving process.
