Hand-built · Direct from the developer · UK-wide

Websites built by the developer you actually speak to.

Fast, beautifully designed, built by hand on modern frameworks. Every pound you spend either saves you money or makes you money. No account managers, no jargon.

No contracts. No fluff. Thirty minutes and we'll tell you honestly if we can help.

What makes us different

Three things most agencies get wrong.

Built by hand, not by template

New builds go on modern frameworks the big agencies are only just starting to adopt. The output is faster, leaner, and easier to rank. If you need to stay on WordPress for a good reason, we can talk about that too.

Direct line to the developer

When you pick up the phone, you speak to the person writing the code and designing the pages. No account managers. No juniors relaying messages. No project manager you've never met ghost-writing emails from the real engineer.

Plain English, no padding

We're geeks so you don't have to be. You pay for work that either saves you money or makes you money, not for jargon and not for invoices inflated by impressive-sounding acronyms.

Our approach

Most agency websites are a bad deal.

At the cheap end, £300 gets you a GoDaddy site builder or a templated build that was sold to ten thousand other businesses. It loads slowly, it looks like everyone else's, and the SEO foundations are poor. Fine for a hobby. Not fine for a business trying to get found on Google.

At the other end, the big agencies are happy to charge thousands for an initial build and hundreds a month to maintain it. Most of that money is paying for account managers, project managers, and junior developers on their first real job. Not the people actually building your site.

We sit in the middle. Hand-built websites on par with what the big agencies deliver, priced sensibly, and built by one person who answers the phone. You work directly with the senior developer. No messages relayed through an apprentice marketer. No week-long waits because someone needs to check with someone else.

What our clients say

Two or three genuine leads a week, every week

I needed a website that actually brought in enquiries, not just something that looked the part and sat there. The new site has been running about four months now and I'm getting two or three solid leads a week from it consistently. The whole process was easy — everything was explained clearly and I always knew what was happening. Really pleased I went with Ombush.

Finally getting enquiries we can trace back to the ads

We'd tried Google Ads before and burned through the budget with nothing to show for it. Ombush rebuilt the whole thing from scratch and within a few weeks we were getting enquiries we could actually trace back to specific campaigns. The reporting makes a big difference — I can see what's working and what isn't, which I never could before. Straightforward to deal with and no jargon.

We got a day and a half back every week

We were spending half our week chasing tenants for documents, sending reminder emails, updating spreadsheets. It felt productive but it wasn't. Ombush set up a system that handles all of it automatically and we haven't had to think about it since. We got roughly a day and a half back every week and nothing falls through the cracks anymore. Wish we'd sorted it sooner.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know before we talk. If something's missing, just ask.

Ask us directly
01 How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope. A simple brochure site can be as little as around £1,000. Most of the work I take on sits further up the spectrum though: multi-section builds, landing pages for paid campaigns, bookings, portals, custom integrations. That's where the hand-built approach really earns its keep. Every project is quoted individually with a fixed cost and a clear scope before anything starts. After launch, most clients move onto a monthly retainer from around £150/month covering hosting, updates, tweaks and performance monitoring.
02 How long does a website project take?
Four to eight weeks from kickoff to launch is typical, depending on scope and how quickly you can get content over. You'll have a fixed cost and a clear scope before anything starts. You'll also see progress as it develops, not a surprise delivered at the end.
03 Why don't you build new sites on WordPress any more?
I've built plenty of WordPress sites and still support existing clients on it. For new builds, modern frameworks produce faster, leaner, better-ranking sites, and don't anchor your design to a theme someone else sold to thousands of other businesses. If you specifically need WordPress for a legitimate reason (a content team already trained on it, a specific plugin), we can still talk about it.
04 How long does SEO take to show results?
Honestly, three to six months before you see meaningful movement, with results compounding after that. SEO isn't the answer if you need leads next week; Google Ads is better for that. If you want to reduce your dependence on paid advertising over the next year or two, SEO is worth building alongside it.
05 I've tried Google Ads before and got nothing back. Why would this be different?
Usually because the ads weren't the problem. Traffic sent to a homepage rarely converts. Leads that sit uncontacted for 24 hours rarely close. And if you can't tell which campaigns produced actual customers, you can't tell what to keep and what to cut. We build the full system: a landing page with one job, automated follow-up within minutes, and tracking that follows a lead through to a sale.
06 How does the monthly retainer work?
After launch, most clients move onto a monthly retainer: hosting, updates, small tweaks, performance monitoring, and priority support. You pay a sensible monthly fee and you get to forget about your website. No long-term lock-in, just 30 days' notice to cancel. You pay; the website stops being something you have to think about.
