Custom website development · Plymouth, MA + worldwide

Custom-built,nothing extra.

Some websites need to do things no template or plugin does well: a client portal, online payments tied to your own records, or tools built around how your business runs. We design and code those sites from the ground up, fast and secure, with nothing in them you don’t need.

An honest recommendation

Is custom
right for you?

We build on Squarespace, Wix, WordPress and custom code, so we recommend whichever suits your business, not whichever we happen to sell.

A good fit when

  • Your site needs logins, a client area, custom forms or workflows.
  • You want online payments, invoices or bookings tied to your own data.
  • Speed, accessibility and security matter more than drag-and-drop editing.
  • Your current platform keeps getting in the way of what you need to do.

03 / FAQ

Custom websites questions

Before you
get started.

Still deciding? Tell us what you have in mind and we will recommend the platform that fits, even if it isn’t this one.

When is a custom website worth it?

When your site has to do something specific to your business, such as client logins, payments linked to your records, or a workflow a builder can’t follow. For a brochure site you edit often, Squarespace, Wix or WordPress is usually the better value.

Can I still edit the content myself?

Yes, where it matters. We add editing for the parts you change often, such as news, listings or prices, and leave the rest fixed so it stays fast and consistent.

What does a custom website run on?

Usually a modern JavaScript framework with a database, hosted on a provider we agree with you. You get the code, and everything is documented so another developer could pick it up.

Have you built anything like this before?

Yes. This website, its client portal with online invoices and payments, and the GridMode and GridYear desktop apps were all built by StandFast Studios.
