Website Design and Development

Websites that earn their keep

Strategy, design, build, care. WordPress, Shopify or custom code, picked to fit the job. Not our preference.

What it is

How we approach Website Design and Development

Web at Rooftop spans strategy, design, build, and ongoing care. We start with the conversion the site needs to drive, work back to the buyer journey, then design and build against it. Tech stack is matched to the brief, Astro and Next.js where performance, SEO, and integration matter most; modern WordPress where editorial control matters most. After launch we offer care plans that keep the site fast, secure, and on-brief as the business evolves.

FAQ

Website Design and Development questions

  • What platforms do you build on?

    Three. WordPress, when your team wants a familiar editor and there's a lot of content. Shopify, when the site's main job is selling. Custom code, built in Astro or Next.js, when speed, search and control matter most. We don't lead with a default. We lead with the right fit.

  • Can you migrate from our existing platform?

    Yes. We migrate from WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, custom-builds, and legacy enterprise CMS. Migration plan includes content, URL structure, redirects, SEO equity preservation, and data.

  • What about performance and Core Web Vitals?

    Every site ships with a performance budget. We hit green Core Web Vitals at launch and the care plan keeps them there. Performance is non-negotiable.

  • Do you do e-commerce?

    Yes. Shopify for most online shops. WooCommerce where WordPress is already at the heart of the business. For bookings, enquiries and quotes, custom code usually does the job.
