Service 01Custom Website Design

Built from a blank page.
Not a template with your logo.

Every PCS website is designed specifically around your trade, your customers, and the one job it needs to do: get enquiries. No drag-and-drop builders, no off-the-shelf themes, no code someone else wrote that you don't own.

01Every Build Includes

What's in every custom design

These aren't add-ons. They're the minimum standard for a site that does its job.

Custom layout

Designed around your specific services and target customer — not adapted from a theme someone else used first.

Mobile-first

The phone layout is built first. Desktop adapts from that — because 70%+ of your visitors arrive on mobile.

Lowest possible speeds

Hand-coded static HTML with optimised assets. No WordPress overhead, no plugin bloat — just the fastest load times achievable.

Technical SEO built in

Heading structure, metadata, canonical tags and internal links done right from the first line of code. Every build.

SSL & security

HTTPS out of the box, clean code without plugin vulnerabilities, no database to exploit. Secure by construction.

100% ownership

Your code, your domain, your hosting account. No lock-in. You can take it anywhere — though clients generally don't want to.

Sitemap & indexing

An XML sitemap is generated and submitted so Google can find and index your pages from day one.

02The Difference

Why we don't build from templates

Every template or page builder decision made to suit somebody else is a constraint on your site's ability to do its job.

Template / Page Builder

  • Designed for a generic business — not yours
  • Bloated code slows every page load
  • Design limited to what the builder allows
  • Plugin dependencies create security holes
  • Monthly updates just to stay functional
  • Looks like every other site using the same theme

PCS Custom Build

  • Designed specifically for your business and customers
  • Lean code — nothing that doesn't need to be there
  • Design limited only by what looks and converts best
  • No plugins — nothing to exploit or update
  • No ongoing maintenance requirements
  • Looks like you — not a theme catalogue entry
03How It Works

From first call to live site

Most builds are complete in 2–4 weeks. Here's what that looks like.

1

Discovery call

We learn your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. No brief to fill in — just a conversation.

2

Quote & scope

Fixed price, clear scope. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit a dollar.

3

Design

We show you the layout before a line of code is written. One round of revisions included.

4

Build & review

Full site built, tested across devices. You review on a staging link before anything goes live.

5

Launch

We handle hosting, DNS and SSL. Sitemap submitted, site live — Google can find it from day one.

04Copy & Content

Don't have content?
Most clients don't.

We write the copy with you from a short call. No lengthy brief, no copywriting invoice on top — it's part of the build. We ask the right questions and write words that say what your best customer needs to hear at exactly the moment they land on your site.

For photos, real job photos from your phone almost always beat stock photography for trust. If you have them, use them. If you don't, we'll design around what you have.

05Questions

Things people usually ask

Most builds are complete in 2–4 weeks. A basic 5-page site is typically 2 weeks. Larger sites with multiple service pages and a case study section take 3–4. We'll give you a specific timeline in the quote.

The build price is a one-off. Hosting is a small monthly cost (typically $20–30/mo) that you pay directly to the provider — not through us, so there's no markup and no lock-in. SSL, sitemap submission and a year of domain registration are included in the build.

Yes. The code is clean, commented and yours. Text changes are straightforward, and we'll explain how during handover. For anything bigger — a new service page, a design change — we do quick-turnaround work without requiring a retainer.

Nothing at all. Our job is to make expert decisions and translate them into plain language. You know your business and your customers — that's the expertise we need from you. We handle the rest.

Yes. Copywriting is included in every build. We write it from a discovery call — no brief to fill in, no separate invoice. The copy is yours to edit or replace if you ever want to, but most clients keep it as-is.

If you want to build and manage a site yourself, those tools are fine. If you want a site that loads fast, ranks, looks professional and converts visitors into enquiries — a custom build outperforms a builder on every one of those metrics. We'll be honest if we think a builder is actually the right tool for your situation.
