Web Design

Custom website design
that works as hard as your business.

Every business is different. That is why we offer two clear paths to getting the website you need, a fully bespoke build designed and coded from scratch, or a carefully selected premium template configured and branded to your specifications. Both deliver results. The difference is scope, timeline, and investment.

Custom website design process at Kahina Studio
01 Bespoke Design

Built from nothing.
Designed for everything.

No templates. No page builders. No compromises. A bespoke website is designed and developed from a blank canvas, every component, every interaction, every line of code is written specifically for your business and your users.

This is for brands that need to stand apart, not blend in. We handle everything from information architecture and UX strategy through to custom WordPress theme development, API integrations, and performance optimisation. The result is a site that does not look, feel, or behave like anything else on the market.

Who this is for

Established businesses, funded startups, and ambitious brands that need a digital presence matching their positioning. If off-the-shelf feels wrong, this is your path.

Timeline

6 – 12 weeks depending on scope and complexity.

Investment

Starting from £6,500

Custom WordPress Theme

Hand-coded theme built around your content and goals. No bloated page builders, no unnecessary plugins, clean, maintainable, fast code.

UX & Interaction Design

Wireframes, prototypes, and user flows mapped before a single pixel is placed. Every design decision is deliberate and tested.

API & System Integrations

Salesforce, CRM platforms, payment gateways, third-party services, connected natively, not through fragile plugin chains.

WebGL & Motion

Three.js, GSAP, scroll-driven animations. When the project calls for it, we build interactions that elevate the experience beyond the ordinary.

Performance Engineering

Sub-2-second load times, optimised asset delivery, lazy loading, CDN configuration. Speed is not an afterthought, it is built into every decision.

SEO Architecture

Semantic HTML, structured data, crawl-friendly architecture, and technical SEO baked in from day one. Not bolted on at the end.

How a bespoke project moves

01

Discovery & Strategy

What we do

We audit your brand, competitors, and audience before touching a single pixel. We define goals, map user journeys, and build a strategy document that becomes the blueprint for every decision that follows. Nothing is assumed, everything is researched.

What we need from you

A clear vision of what you want to achieve. Examples of websites or brands you admire. Access to any existing brand guidelines, analytics, or market research. Honest answers about your customers, revenue model, and long-term ambitions.

Deliverables

Competitive audit, project brief, technical scope document, sitemap, and a detailed proposal with timelines and milestones. You will know exactly what we are building, why, and when.

02

UX & Wireframes

What we do

Information architecture, page hierarchy, and wireframes for every key template. You see the structure and flow of your site before any visual design begins. We test the logic before we touch the aesthetics.

What we need from you

Feedback on user priorities. Which pages matter most? What actions should visitors take? Your input shapes the hierarchy so the site serves your real business goals, not a generic template.

Deliverables

Annotated wireframes for all key pages, user flow diagrams, and an information architecture map. Everything is documented and approved before design begins.

03

Visual Design

What we do

Full-fidelity design compositions in Figma. Typography systems, colour palettes, component libraries, responsive layouts, every screen designed at multiple breakpoints. You approve the visuals before a single line of code is written.

What we need from you

Specific, honest feedback. Tell us what resonates and what does not. If something feels off, we need to know early, not after the build is halfway done. We present designs with annotations explaining our reasoning.

Deliverables

High-fidelity mockups for all key pages, interactive prototypes, a visual style guide, and all design files. Everything you need to see exactly how your project will look and feel.

04

Development

What we do

Custom WordPress theme built from scratch. Clean PHP, semantic HTML, modular CSS, and JavaScript where it matters, Three.js, GSAP, API integrations. No page builders, no shortcode dependency, no technical debt.

What we need from you

Content, text, images, videos, brand assets. The earlier we have real content, the better the result. We develop on a staging environment so you can follow progress in real time.

Deliverables

A fully functional staging site you can click through, test, and share internally. Regular progress updates and a clear timeline for each milestone. No surprises, no black boxes.

05

Testing & QA

What we do

Cross-browser testing, responsive verification, performance audits, accessibility checks, and security hardening. We break the site on purpose so your users never have to experience it broken.

What we need from you

Final content sign-off and internal stakeholder review. We provide a structured testing checklist so your team can verify everything against your requirements.

Deliverables

Performance reports, accessibility audit, browser compatibility matrix, and a detailed QA log documenting every test performed and every issue resolved.

06

Launch & Optimise

What we do

Deployment to production, DNS configuration, SSL, analytics setup, Search Console submission, and post-launch monitoring. We stay in the picture, tracking performance, fixing edge cases, and iterating based on real data.

What we need from you

Access to your hosting, domain registrar, and any third-party accounts we will be connecting. A willingness to keep improving, the businesses that grow fastest treat their website as a living product.

Deliverables

Live production site, full documentation, analytics dashboard, post-launch checklist, and an ongoing support plan tailored to your needs. You will never be left wondering what happens next.

02 Template-Based

Professional. Fast.
Without the excess.

Not every business needs a ground-up build, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. A template-based website uses a carefully selected premium theme as its foundation, configured, branded, and optimised to your exact specifications.

This is not a cheap option dressed up as a service. We treat every template project with the same quality standards as our bespoke work: proper typography, cohesive branding, responsive testing, performance tuning, and clean content structure. The difference is we start with a proven framework instead of an empty file.

Who this is for

Small businesses, solo founders, early-stage startups, and anyone who needs a polished, professional site without the timeline and investment of a custom build.

Timeline

2 – 4 weeks from kickoff to launch.

Investment

Starting from £2,200

Premium Theme Selection

We choose the right foundation for your needs, no random marketplace picks. Every theme is vetted for code quality, performance, and long-term support.

Brand Configuration

Your colours, typography, logo, and visual identity applied consistently across every page. It looks like yours, not like a template.

Content Setup

Pages structured, content populated, images optimised, and forms configured. You get a site that is ready to work from day one.

Responsive & Tested

Cross-browser, cross-device testing. Every breakpoint checked, every interaction verified. No surprises after launch.

SEO Foundations

Meta titles, descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt texts, sitemap, and Search Console setup included as standard.

CMS Training

A walkthrough session so you can manage your own content with confidence. No ongoing dependency unless you want it.

How a template project moves

01

Brief & Selection

What we do

We discuss your goals, audience, and budget. Based on your requirements, we shortlist and recommend the right premium theme, vetted for code quality, update history, and flexibility. You approve the foundation before we begin.

What we need from you

A clear brief: what your business does, who your customers are, what pages you need, and any features that are non-negotiable. References to sites you admire help us narrow the theme selection faster.

Deliverables

A shortlist of 2–3 vetted themes with pros and cons for each, a project scope document, and a timeline with clear milestones from kickoff to launch.

02

Brand Configuration

What we do

Your visual identity applied across every element: colours, typography, logo placement, spacing, and imagery. We configure the theme so it looks and feels like it was built for you, not pulled from a marketplace.

What we need from you

Your logo (vector format ideally), brand colours, any existing brand guidelines, and high-quality images. If you do not have brand guidelines yet, we will establish the core visual rules during this phase.

Deliverables

A fully branded staging site showing your identity applied across all pages. You review and approve the visual direction before we move to content.

03

Content & Setup

What we do

Pages built, content structured, images optimised, contact forms configured, essential plugins installed and hardened. Navigation, footer, and calls-to-action all in place and working.

What we need from you

Final copy for all pages, optimised images, and any third-party account credentials (Google Analytics, social profiles, email marketing). The faster content arrives, the faster we launch.

Deliverables

A fully populated staging site with all pages, forms, and integrations functional. Internal review checklist so your team can verify everything before launch.

04

Launch & Handover

What we do

Cross-device testing, performance check, SEO foundations set, analytics connected. We deploy to production, walk you through the CMS, and hand over full control. You are independent from day one.

What we need from you

Final sign-off on all content and functionality. Access to hosting and domain registrar for deployment. Availability for a 30-minute CMS training session.

Deliverables

Live site, CMS training recording, documentation for content management, analytics dashboard, and a 2-week post-launch support window for any issues or adjustments.

What You Get

Every project ships with
the same obsessive standard.

Regardless of which path you choose, every website we deliver includes fully responsive design tested across all major devices and browsers, technical SEO configured from day one, GDPR-compliant cookie consent and privacy policy integration, analytics setup with Google Analytics and Search Console, post-launch support to catch anything that slips through, and a full handover with documentation so you are never locked in.

We do not disappear after launch. Every client gets a defined support window, and we are always available for ongoing retainers if you need continued development, content updates, or optimisation.

Let's build your website.

Tell us about your project and we will recommend the right approach, no hard sell, no upsell.
