Designed for you, not picked from a list
Every site starts from a blank page and your business, so it looks like yours and not like the last ten sites you scrolled past.
Modern websites, honest prices.
sf36 designs and builds websites for small businesses that want to look like the big ones. Clean, fast, properly designed, and priced so you do not have to think twice.
The studio
A small business should not have a small website. We build sites that look high-end, load fast and are simple to keep up to date, without the agency price tag.

Fixed price, agreed up front
You get a written quote before any design starts. It does not move unless you ask for something new, and we will tell you before it does.

Fast enough to feel expensive
Lightweight builds with no bloated frameworks and a hard limit on load time. Speed is part of the look, and it helps you rank.

Process
How a site
gets made here.
Four stages, in order, every time. You see the site at the end of each one and nothing moves on without your say-so.
Work out what it is for.
A short call or email exchange about your business, your customers and what the site has to do. You get a fixed quote at the end of it.
Days 1–2See it before it is built.
Homepage first, as a live link you can open on your phone. Type, colour and layout are agreed here, so there are no surprises later.
Week 1Build the rest.
Every page, the contact form, the shop or booking if you need one, and anything you want to edit yourself. The live link updates as we go.
Week 2Test, launch, hand over.
Speed and accessibility checks, testing on real phones, then we point your domain at it and hand you the keys. Thirty days of tweaks included.
Week 3Look like you
mean it.
Tell us what the site has to do. We reply within two working days with a fixed price and a start date.
