Web Development Services That Actually Help Your Business
Let me guess – you’re here because you need a website, or the one you’ve got isn’t cutting it anymore.
Maybe customers can’t find you on Google. Maybe your site looks like it was built in 2008. Maybe it works fine on a computer but turns into a jumbled mess on phones. Or maybe you’ve just started your business and need something professional to point people towards.
Whatever brought you here, we can help. Aura Digital Agency builds websites for businesses that need to grow.
Why Most Business Websites Fail
I’ve been building websites for years, and I see the same problems over and over.
Problem 1: People go cheap, then pay double to fix it.
Someone finds a bloke on Upwork who’ll build a site for £200. Seems like a great deal until the site breaks, the developer disappears, and now they need to hire someone else to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.
I get it – budgets are tight. But cheap usually costs more in the long run.
Problem 2: The site looks nice but doesn't do anything.
Beautiful design, nice photos, fancy animations. And zero customers ringing. Because nobody can find it on Google, the contact form doesn’t work properly, or visitors can’t figure out what the business actually does.
Pretty is nice. Functional is better. Both is best.
Problem 3: Nobody can update it.
You want to add a new product or update your opening hours, and suddenly you need to pay a developer £100 just to change some text. That’s ridiculous. Your website should work for you, not hold you hostage.
What We Do Differently
We Build on Solid Foundations
Most of our sites are built on WordPress. Why? Because it’s reliable, it’s flexible, and it’s not going anywhere. About 40% of all websites on the internet run on WordPress. That’s not an accident.
WordPress means you can update your own content without ringing us every time. It means if you ever want to switch developers (though we hope you won’t), the next person can work with it easily. It means there’s a massive community of support and plugins available.
But here’s the thing – we also build custom solutions when WordPress doesn’t fit. If you need something specific that requires custom code, we can do that too. We use whatever makes the most sense for your project.
Real Business Strategy, Not Just Web Design
Before we write a single line of code, we talk about your business. Who are your customers? What do they need to know? What action do you want them to take? What are your competitors doing?
A website isn’t just a digital brochure anymore. It’s a sales tool. A customer service tool. A marketing tool. We build with that in mind.
Mobile-First Development
Here’s a stat that matters – more than half your visitors will see your site on a phone first. If it doesn’t work perfectly on mobile, you’re losing money.
We build every site mobile-first. That means we design for phones and tablets first, then scale up to desktop. Buttons work. Forms are easy to fill out. Everything loads fast. No pinching and zooming to read text.
Speed Matters More Than You Think
Google did a study. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you lose over 50% of visitors. They don’t sit there waiting. They hit back and try your competitor.
We build fast websites. Optimised images, clean code, good hosting recommendations, caching setup – all the technical stuff that makes pages load in under 2 seconds.
Fast sites also rank better on Google. So speed helps you twice – keeps visitors from leaving AND helps more people find you.
Built for Google From Day One
You can have the most beautiful website in the world, but if nobody can find it, what’s the point?
Every site we build includes basic SEO setup. Proper page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image optimisation, mobile-friendly design, fast loading, clean URLs. All the stuff Google looks for when deciding what to show in search results.
We’re not SEO wizards who’ll guarantee you’ll rank number one for everything. Anyone who promises that is lying. But we build the foundation right so you have a fighting chance.
Our Web Development Services
Business Websites
Most of our clients need a solid business website. 5-15 pages showing what you do, who you are, why customers should choose you, and how to contact you.
These are custom WordPress sites designed around your brand and your customers. Professional, clean, fast, and built to convert visitors into customers.
Timeline: Usually 3-4 weeks from start to launch.
Investment: £2,000 – £5,000 depending on features and complexity.
E-Commerce Websites
Want to sell products online? We build online shops that make it easy for customers to browse and easy for you to manage.

We migrate your content, keep what’s working, fix what’s broken, and give you something you can actually be proud of.
Timeline: 3-5 weeks usually.
Investment: £2,500 – £6,500 depending on scope.
Custom Web Applications
Sometimes you need more than a standard website. Custom dashboards, client portals, booking systems, membership sites – we build custom solutions when off-the-shelf doesn’t cut it.
These projects vary a lot, so timeline and cost depend on what you need.
Website Maintenance
Websites need regular care. Updates, backups, security monitoring, fixing issues when they pop up. We offer monthly maintenance plans so you don’t have to worry about the technical stuff.
Plans range from £120 – £200 per month depending on the level of support you want.
Who We Work With
We’ve built websites for all kinds of businesses:
Local service businesses like plumbers, electricians, and heating engineers who need customers to find them and ring them.
Professional services like solicitors, accountants, and consultants who need to look credible and explain complex services clearly.
Online shops selling physical products, digital products, subscriptions.
Restaurants and cafés that need online ordering and menu displays.
Healthcare providers, dental surgeries, medical practices.
Estate agents and property management companies.
Charities and community organisations.The industry doesn’t matter as much as understanding what you’re trying to achieve and building something that helps you get there.
What Makes a Good Website Development Agency
There’s thousands of people out there building websites. Here’s what separates the good ones from the rest:
They ask questions before giving answers. Anybody can throw together a template. Good developers ask about your business, your goals, your customers first.
They communicate clearly. If someone can’t explain what they’re doing in plain English, that’s a red flag. Technical skills matter, but so does being able to talk like a normal human.
They show you their work. Ask to see examples of sites they’ve built. Not just pretty portfolios – actual working websites for real businesses.
They’re honest about what they can and can’t do. If someone promises you’ll rank number one on Google in 30 days or that your site will definitely make you rich, run away. Good developers are honest about realistic expectations.
They stick around after launch. The worst agencies take your money and disappear. The good ones are there when you need them, even months or years later.
Real Talk About Pricing
Web development costs vary a lot. A simple 5-page site costs way less than a complex online shop with custom features.
We give clear pricing upfront. You’ll know what you’re paying and exactly what you’re getting. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no games.
Here’s the general range:
- Basic business website: £500
- E-commerce shop: £500
- Monthly maintenance: £120 – £200
If you’re thinking “that’s more than I wanted to spend,” I get it. Building a proper website takes time and expertise.
If budget’s tight right now, we can sometimes work in phases. Build something basic first, add features later as budget allows. Or we can point you towards more affordable options that might fit better.
Either way, we’ll be straight with you.

FAQs
Most business websites take 1-2 weeks from start to launch. E-commerce sites take 2 -3 weeks. Custom projects vary. Could be faster if you're ready with all your content and feedback. Could be longer if the project's complex or we're waiting on things from your end.
Small changes are usually free in the first 30 days. After that, we charge hourly for updates, or you can sign up for a maintenance plan that includes monthly update hours.
Yep. We build sites so you can make basic updates yourself. We train you on how to do it and provide video tutorials. For bigger changes or if you just don't want to deal with it, we can handle updates for you.
We do revisions until you're happy. Most projects need 1-2 rounds of design revisions, which are included. If someone wants to completely start over multiple times, we might charge extra, but that rarely happens
