The Sultan, Cardiff
A dark-luxury restaurant deserves a dark-luxury website. We built a cinematic, scroll-directed experience that feels like the room itself — and loads faster than most plain-text sites.

Why this matters to you: most restaurant websites are slow templates that customers close before the menu loads. This one feels like the restaurant, ranks like a fast site, and turns visits into bookings. Yours can do the same.

What we do
One thing, done properly.
We build websites. Not "websites plus logos plus flyers plus whatever you'll pay for". Focus is why the work is this good.
Custom website builds
Designed and hand-coded from a blank file — no WordPress themes, no page builders, no template that fifty other businesses are using. Built around what makes you money: bookings, calls, directions, orders.
Redesigns
Already have a website that embarrasses you on a phone? We rebuild it properly — keeping what works, fixing what doesn't, and making Google take you seriously.
Care plans
Hosting, security, updates, menu and content changes — handled. You message, it's done. Your website stays fast, safe and current without you thinking about it.
Coming later — SEO · content · social. One studio, one point of contact.
How it works
Four steps. No mystery.
-
Discovery
A proper conversation about your business — what customers ask, where they come from, what a good month looks like. In person if you're in Cardiff, on a call if not.
Week 1 -
Design
You see your homepage before you commit a penny. Real design, your brand, your words — not a wireframe you have to squint at.
Week 1–2 -
Build
Hand-coded, fast, and tested on real phones — because that's where your customers are. You get preview links as it comes together.
Week 2–4 -
Launch & care
We launch, point Google at it, and stay on hand. Care plans keep it fast, secure and up to date — you message, it's done.
Ongoing
Why us
The difference is in the code.
Anyone can drag boxes around a page builder. Almost nobody hand-codes any more — which is exactly why it works.
-
Hand-coded, not assembled
No themes, no plugins, no bloat. Every line written for your business. That's why our sites load in under a second while template sites make customers wait.
-
Performance you can verify
We publish our Lighthouse scores — Google's own measure of a good website. Fast sites rank higher and convert better. Ask any agency for theirs and watch the subject change.
-
A Cardiff studio, not a marketplace
We're local. We'll meet you at your restaurant, your shop, your unit. We know what "found on Google in Cardiff" actually takes.
-
You talk to the developer
No account managers, no ticket queues. The person who builds your website is the person on the other end of your WhatsApp.
Pricing
Straight numbers.
Websites from £2,000.
Care from £100/month.
Not the cheapest quote you'll get in Cardiff — and that's the point. A website is the one place where cheap shows. Ours are built to pay for themselves in bookings, calls and customers who found you instead of your competitor. One clear price, agreed before we start. No surprises.
