Mostly business websites, particularly when an existing site has become dated, difficult to manage or simply isn't doing the business justice anymore. We also build new websites from scratch.
Some projects are fairly straightforward. Others involve custom content systems, integrations, listings or functionality behind the scenes. We'll recommend what makes sense instead of adding complexity for the sake of it.
What platforms do you build on?
For marketing and business websites, we primarily work with WordPress and Webflow. For custom web applications, portals and more involved platforms, the technology depends on what the product needs to do.
We don't choose a stack first and force the project into it. We look at the functionality, integrations, expected scale and how the product will need to evolve, then recommend the approach that makes the most sense.
Do you build web applications too?
Yes. Noctive isn't limited to marketing websites. We can also take on custom web applications, dashboards, customer portals, internal tools and other browser-based products.
Those projects usually start with a deeper discovery phase so we can properly understand the workflows, users, integrations and technical requirements before recommending an architecture or scope.
Can you rebuild our existing website without losing everything that's already there?
Yes. Rebuilding a website doesn't mean automatically throwing everything away.
We first look at what should be preserved, including content, important URLs, search visibility, integrations, forms, analytics and anything else the business already relies on. Then we plan the rebuild around keeping what matters and improving what doesn't.
Will we be able to update the website ourselves?
Yes. That's something we think about from the beginning rather than trying to solve at the end.
If your team regularly changes properties, services, team members, resources or anything else, we'll structure the backend around that. You shouldn't need a developer every time you want to change a photo or add something new.
Do you write the content too?
We can.
Some clients already have strong content and just need help shaping it for the new website. Others would rather give us the raw information and let us take it from there.
Either way, we'll make sure the copy fits the design and sounds like the business it's supposed to represent.
What happens after the website launches?
You can take the website and manage it yourself, or we can continue looking after it for you.
Our website care service can cover managed hosting, backups, WordPress and plugin updates, update testing, performance monitoring, security and ongoing support.
The idea is simple: somebody is actually responsible for keeping the website healthy.
How involved do I need to be?
Enough that we're building the right thing, but not so much that building your website becomes your second job.
We'll need your knowledge of the business, your feedback at a few important points and access to anything the site needs. We'll handle the process and keep you updated along the way.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what we're building.
A straightforward business website and a larger site with custom content systems, integrations or more involved functionality are very different projects.
Once we understand what you actually need, you'll get a clear scope and fixed project price before anything starts. No mystery invoices halfway through.
How long does a project take?
Most projects fall somewhere between four and eight weeks, although it depends on the size of the website, how much content is involved and whether there are custom integrations or functionality.
We'll give you a realistic schedule before we start. I'd rather promise the right timeline than an impressive one.
