YOUR CLOUD WORKS — WEB STUDIO STACK: ASTRO + DECAP STATUS: TAKING NEW PROJECTS

Website design · built on Astro + Decap

Websites that load fast, stay secure and you can run yourself.

We build websites the way a cyber-security company would — fast, locked down and hosted in the UK. We're rebuilding our own site this way, off WordPress. We'll do the same for yours.

The usual WordPress site

  • Slow to load, heavy with plugins
  • A patch-and-pray security model
  • Breaks when one plugin updates
  • You phone someone to change a word

Your site, the Astro + Decap way

  • Loads in under a second
  • Secure by default, behind Cloudflare
  • Nothing to break, nothing to patch
  • You edit it yourself, any time

Why businesses choose this

SPEED

Fast by default

Astro renders your pages as static HTML and ships almost no JavaScript, so they load in well under a second — better for your visitors, and exactly what Google rewards.

SECURITY

Secure by design

We're a cyber-security company first. There's no plugin sprawl to exploit, your site sits behind the Cloudflare WAF, and a static build gives attackers very little to aim at.

CONTROL

Edit it yourself

Decap CMS gives you a clean editor to publish articles by category, update pages and swap images — no code, and no waiting on a developer.

VISIBILITY

Built to be found

Every page ships with proper structured data and is tuned for search engines and AI answer engines, so the right customers find you organically.

HOSTING

Hosted in the UK

Your site runs on our own UK platform behind Cloudflare, with media on Cloudflare R2 — sensible for regulated sectors that need data kept close to home.

PARTNER

One team for all of it

The people who build and host your website are the same people who run your IT and security. One number to call when something actually matters.

The platform underneath

Every site runs on the same proven stack we host all our clients on — in the UK, behind Cloudflare. No mystery, no shared budget host.

Search & answer engines

Found by people — and by AI

People search Google. They also ask AI assistants who to use. We build for both, optimising every page with Claude AI so you turn up where your next customer is actually looking.

  • Structured data on every page, generated from the content
  • FAQ answers kept in sync with their schema, automatically
  • Performance that search engines reward
  • Content tuned with Claude AI for how people really ask

Common questions

What is Astro and why does it matter for my website?

Astro is a modern way of building websites that produces fast, mostly static pages and ships almost no JavaScript. In practice that means your site loads almost instantly, ranks better, and is far more secure than a typical WordPress site.

Can I edit the website myself?

Yes. We set up Decap CMS, which gives you a simple editor in your browser. You can publish articles under different categories, update page text and swap images without touching code or waiting on a developer.

Is an Astro website more secure than WordPress?

Generally, yes. There's no sprawl of plugins to keep patched, the site is delivered as static pages that give attackers little to target, and it sits behind the Cloudflare WAF. As a cyber-security company, security is our default, not an add-on.

Where is my website hosted?

On our own UK platform, behind Cloudflare, with media stored on Cloudflare R2. Keeping hosting in the UK is a sensible choice for businesses in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare and legal.

Will my site be found on Google and in AI answers?

That's the goal. Every page ships with proper structured data and is written and optimised — with the help of Claude AI — for both traditional search and the AI assistants more of your customers now use to find suppliers.

Do you handle everything, or just the build?

End to end. We design, build, migrate, host, secure and support your site — and we're the same team that can look after your IT and cyber security too, so there's one number to call.
