Website development
Website development that converts
A website is your hardest-working salesperson, so it has to be fast, clear and built to convert. EcommOcean designs and builds responsive, search-ready websites and web apps — custom-coded, on WordPress, or fully headless — engineered around performance, SEO and the actions you want visitors to take.
What we do
Custom builds
Bespoke, hand-coded sites and web apps when you need full control over experience and performance.
WordPress
Flexible, easy-to-manage WordPress sites your team can update without touching code.
Headless
Decoupled, API-driven front ends for speed and flexibility where the project justifies it.
Performance
Core Web Vitals, image optimisation and clean code so pages load fast and rank well.
SEO-ready foundations
Semantic markup, structured data and a crawlable architecture built in from day one.
Care and support
Ongoing maintenance, updates and improvements after launch, not just a hand-off.
How we build
Every build starts with your goals and audience, not a template. We plan the structure and key pages around the actions you want visitors to take, design the interface, then build on the right stack for your needs — custom, WordPress or headless.
We develop mobile-first, test across devices, and optimise for speed and search before launch. You get a site that is quick, accessible and easy for your team to run, with clean handover and documentation.
Built for performance and SEO
A beautiful site that loads slowly or cannot be found is a missed opportunity. We build to strong Core Web Vitals, with optimised images, efficient code and sensible hosting, so pages feel instant on mobile data.
Search-readiness is baked in: semantic HTML, structured data, clean URLs and a logical internal-linking structure give your content the best chance to rank and to be cited by AI search.
Website development FAQs
What technology do you build on?
We work in custom stacks, WordPress and headless setups, and choose based on your goals, budget and team rather than pushing one option. For online stores we also build on Shopify and WooCommerce.
How long does a website take?
A straightforward marketing site is typically a few weeks; larger custom builds and web apps take longer. We scope the timeline clearly after an initial call so there are no surprises.
Do you maintain the site after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, updates, performance monitoring and improvements, so your site keeps working and stays secure rather than going stale after launch.
