Our Process

From Brief to Live in
6–10 Weeks

A clear, collaborative process with no surprises — just a well-designed website delivered on time and on budget.

Discovery & Strategy

We learn your business, audience, goals, and competitors. A clear brief sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Design

We design in Figma — presenting wireframes, then full-colour mockups. You review, refine, and approve before a single line of code is written.

Development

Clean, hand-coded HTML/CSS or your preferred CMS. Mobile-first, performance-optimised, and built to last.

Launch & Support

We handle the launch, submit to Google, and offer 30-day post-launch support. Ongoing care plans available.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"Working with Cordes was effortless. They took our vague ideas and turned them into a site that our partners and clients genuinely compliment. Enquiries through the site are up 60%."

Daniel Maddox
Partner, Maddox & Hart Law
★★★★★

"The Shopify store Cordes built for us is beautiful and converts. Our conversion rate went from 1.4% to 3.2% after launch. The attention to detail in the product pages is extraordinary."

Sophie Beaumont
Founder, Maison Lune
★★★★★

"We've worked with three web agencies before Cordes. None came close to this level of professionalism, craft, and follow-through. The care plan means we never worry about the site."

James Ellerton
CEO, Helio Capital Group

Your Website Should
Be Working Harder

Let's talk about what a well-crafted website could do for your business.

The Studio

Ten years of considered web design practice — built on craft, integrity, and a refusal to ship anything we're not proud of.

Our Story

We Started Because
Good Design Was Rare

Cordes Web Design was founded in 2015 by Marcus Cordes, a web designer who spent five years at a large agency watching beautiful briefs become mediocre websites — rushed, templated, and handed off to clients who deserved better.

He started the studio to do things differently: slower, more thoughtful, with a smaller client list and an uncompromising standard of work. Ten years later, that philosophy hasn't changed.

"We take on fewer projects than we could, precisely so we can give each one everything it deserves."

The studio now works with a small, senior team across web design, development, branding, and SEO — serving clients in professional services, hospitality, retail, and beyond.
