websites, by diam

we build websites.

digital spaces, made properly. we design and build distinctive websites for businesses that have outgrown templates.

our approach

considered. not templated.

your website should feel like you — not like everyone else. we design from first principles, write clean code, and build digital experiences that serve your business rather than following trends.

beyond websites

bespoke digital products.

sometimes a website isn't enough. we build custom software, web applications, and digital infrastructure that solve specific business problems.

01

web applications.

tools that work in browsers — dashboards, admin panels, customer portals, internal systems. built to your specifications.

02

automations.

connect your systems, automate repetitive tasks, and build workflows that save time and reduce errors.

03

custom software.

when off-the-shelf doesn't fit. we design and build software from the ground up, tailored to your exact requirements.

estimate your project

get a sense of scope.

this is an estimate, not a quote. use it to understand what your project might involve. or just play around. we won't tell.

what do you need?

be honest. we won't judge (much).

how many pages?

more pages = more scrolling. choose wisely.

what's your timeline?

honest answer: when do you actually need it?

what features do you need?

pick your poison. or don't. up to you.

do you have content ready?

words and images. the stuff that goes on pages.

want us to look after it?

websites need love. or they break. your call.

project enquiry

let's talk about your project.

tell us what you need and we'll get back to you with a conversation, not a sales pitch.

not sure?

let's have a conversation.

if you're not sure which scope is right for you, or you just want to explore options, get in touch and we'll talk it through.

frequently asked

questions.

or things we get asked a lot. you're probably wondering some of these too.

how long does a website project take?

timeline depends on scope. a simple 5-page site typically takes 2–4 weeks. larger projects with custom functionality can take 8–12 weeks. we'll give you a detailed timeline during discovery. no surprises (unless you count the good kind).

do i own the website when it's done?

yes. you own everything — the design, code, and content. we build on open standards so you're never locked in. you can host with us or move it elsewhere. we're not the clingy type.

what about hosting and maintenance?

we offer website care from £50/month. this includes hosting, security updates, backups, and minor content changes. or we can set you up on your own hosting if you prefer. but honestly, let us handle it. you have better things to do.

can you work with my existing brand?

absolutely. we can work with your existing brand guidelines or help you develop them. if you have a logo, colours, and typography, we'll build around them. if not, we can help. we're flexible like that.

what's the payment structure?

typically 50% deposit to start, 25% at design approval, and 25% on completion. for larger projects, we can structure payments around milestones. everything is agreed upfront. no hidden fees. we're not that kind of agency.

do you do ongoing work after launch?

yes. many clients work with us long-term for updates, new features, and strategic guidance. our website care subscription is designed for this, or we can work on a project basis. we're in it for the long haul (if you want us to be).

why should i choose you over a cheaper option?

fair question. you can get a website for £500 on fiverr. you can also get heart surgery for cheap if you're brave. we build things properly the first time, so you're not paying to fix it later. that's the value prop.

what if i don't like the design?

then we change it. we iterate until you're happy. we're not precious about our work — it's your website, not our portfolio piece. though we'd prefer if you did like it. it's better for everyone that way.

the team

who you'll work with.

small team, big impact. you'll work directly with the people building your project. no account managers. no middlemen. just the people who actually do the work.

why us

the honest truth.

we're not for everyone. and that's fine. here's what we actually bring to the table.

no jargon

we speak human. not "synergy" or "paradigm shifts." you'll understand everything we say. if you don't, we failed.

fixed pricing

we agree on a price upfront. no "oh we didn't realise that would take longer" surprise invoices. we're not that kind of agency.

you own it

code, design, content. it's all yours. no licensing fees, no lock-in. you can take it and run if you want (but we hope you stay).

small team

you know who's working on your project. no junior devs learning on your time. no random freelancers. just us.

we over-communicate

you'll never wonder what's happening. weekly updates, clear timelines, honest progress reports. silence is not our thing.

we care

cliché but true. we want your project to work. not just because it's our job, but because we're actually invested. weird, right?

refer a friend

get £100 back.

refer someone who becomes a client. when their project launches, you both get £100 back.

how it works:

  1. tell someone about us
  2. they mention your name when they enquire
  3. when their project launches, you both get £100 back

simple. no codes, no tracking. just tell people.

alert!
