Why Shiny Studios

We hold our own site to the same standard

Speed, accessibility and search are what we offer, so this site is built the same way we’d build yours.

  • Fast from the start

    Pages are built ahead of time and served as static files, so they load quickly without extra plugins or caching tools.

  • Accessible to everyone

    We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with a keyboard and screen reader as well as automated tools. It also helps you meet your duties under the Equality Act.

  • You own everything

    The code, domain and analytics are all yours. There's no platform to pay for every year and nothing tying you to us.

  • Clear pricing

    Prices are fixed and agreed before work starts. If something cheaper would do the job, we'll tell you.

How we work

Our process

You’ll know what’s happening, what it costs and what we need from you at each stage.

  1. Understand

    We start by talking about your business: who your customers are, what they need to know, and what you want the site to do.

  2. Structure

    We plan the pages and what goes on each one. Agreeing this before design starts saves a lot of revisions later.

  3. Design & build

    We design and build together, so what you approve is what gets built.

  4. Launch & measure

    We put the site live and set up Search Console and analytics. A few weeks later we check how it's performing.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a website cost?

Our packages are £595, £995 and £1,795, each a one-off fee rather than a monthly commitment. What separates them is the number of pages and how much search work is included. The price is fixed and agreed before work starts, so the bill won't grow halfway through. Optional Website Care plans for hosting and upkeep start at £39 a month. The pricing page lists what each package includes.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the package: Starter sites usually take one to two weeks, Professional two to four weeks and Premium three to five weeks from kick-off to launch. What usually decides it is how quickly we get content and feedback back from you.

Do you only work with businesses on the Wirral?

No. We're based on the Wirral and work with small businesses all over the UK. Most of the work happens over video calls and email, so location doesn't really matter. If you're in Merseyside or Cheshire, we're happy to meet in person.

What happens after launch?

You get the code, the hosting setup and documentation, so you can take the site anywhere. If you want us to look after hosting, security and updates afterwards, our Website Care plans start at £39 a month, but you don't have to take one.

Can you fix or improve our existing website?

Often, yes. We'll look at what you have first. Sometimes a few days of speed and accessibility fixes gets you most of the benefit for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild.
