Web studio · Build · Host · Manage

Your website. Built, hosted and looked after.

Alternodes designs and develops websites, runs the servers they live on and keeps them healthy afterwards. Whatever the project, one studio handles the whole of it.

What we do

Three services. One accountable team.

Take one, or hand us all three. They're designed to fit together, so nothing falls into the gap between a designer, a developer and a hosting company.

Design & build

A new website or a rebuild, designed and developed around what you actually need.

  • Design shaped around your brand and your customers
  • Responsive, accessible and fast on every screen
  • Content you can edit yourself
  • Search-engine foundations built in from day one
  • Shops, bookings, logins and integrations when you need them

Whatever the project

If it runs in a browser, we can build it.

Some of what lands on our desk. If yours isn't on the list, that's fine: tell us about it.

Something else entirely?

Describe it in your own words and we'll tell you how we'd approach it.

How it works

A clear path from idea to live site.

Five steps, in order, with no surprises in between.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    A short call. We map what you need, what it should cost and what it shouldn't.

  2. Step 2

    Design

    You see the real thing early: clickable screens, not wireframe theatre.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    Shipped in visible increments, so you watch it take shape.

  4. Step 4

    Launch

    Deployed, secured and monitored. Domains, SSL and email handled for you.

  5. Step 5

    Care

    We stay on. Updates, backups and small changes under one monthly plan.

Built in-house

We run our own products on the same foundations.

Alternodes is also the studio behind these platforms. The way we'd build and run your site is the way we build and run our own.

Questions

Answers before you ask.

Any kind. Business sites, online stores, booking systems, portfolios, publications, member areas, dashboards and full web platforms. If it runs in a browser we can design it, build it and run it. If you're not sure what category yours falls into, describe it and we'll tell you how we'd approach it.

Small sites start from £650. Larger sites and platforms cost more, and every project gets a fixed quote before any work starts, so the price doesn't move underneath you. Hosting starts from £12 a month and care plans from £45 a month.

Yes. We look at how it was built and what state it's in, then tell you plainly whether it makes sense to host and maintain it as it is, repair it, or rebuild it.

No. We can build a site and deploy it to hosting you already have, or host a site we didn't build. The three services are designed to fit together, but each one stands on its own.

That's up to you. On a care plan we keep the software updated, watch uptime, take backups and make the content changes you ask for. Without one, we hand the site over and you can come back to us whenever you need something.

It depends on the size. A small site is a matter of weeks; a platform is planned in stages. You get a timeline alongside your quote, so you know what to expect before you commit.

Fill in the order form with what you need, or send a message if you'd rather talk it through first. A person replies within one working day.
