Web design & build · One studio, no chain to pass you down · UK

Websites built properly, by a person you can actually talk to.

Acacia Web is a small UK studio. WordPress when it fits, custom code when it doesn't — and every site leaves with proper security, cloud backups and analytics wired in. Not because it's a premium add-on. Because that's what "built properly" means.

The specification

What "built properly" actually includes

Every Acacia site ships with all six. None of them are upsells, add-ons or premium tiers — they're the definition of the job done right.

Spec / 01The right tech for the job
WordPress for content-led sites you'll update yourself. Bootstrap or hand-written code where it earns its keep. We recommend what fits your project — not what's easiest for us.
Spec / 02Search visibility
Clean markup, sensible structure and the groundwork search engines expect — in from the first line of code, not bolted on afterwards.
Spec / 03Numbers, not hunches
Google Analytics wired in as standard, so you can see what's working and make decisions on real data.
Spec / 04Security, managed
Updates, patches and monitoring handled by us, quietly, in the background. You'll mostly never hear about it. That's the point.
Spec / 05Backed up, twice
Your site lives in the cloud and is backed up separately on our own servers. Whatever happens, your content is recoverable.
Spec / 06Ownership, in full
Your site, your content, your brand. We reserve no rights to any of it — everything we build is yours from day one, in writing.
The toolbox

Boring, proven tools — used well

No framework-of-the-month. Everything in the box has been running the web for years, which means your site will still make sense to any developer a decade from now.

/* the toolbox */
wordpress — content management
bootstrap — responsive layout
html·css·js — bespoke builds
php — the glue holding it together
cpanel — hosting, email & backups
google suite — analytics & search
The route

From first call to launch

No hidden costs, no jargon, no surprises. You stay in control the whole way.

Step 1 of 3

Listen

Tell us what you're after. We ask the right questions, then quote — free, with no obligation attached to any of it.

Step 2 of 3

Build

Everything happens in a dev environment first, tested thoroughly. You review and approve every stage before anything goes live.

Step 3 of 3

Hand over

Your site launches — secured, backed up, yours. We'll train you to run it, or look after it monthly. Your call.

Work we take on

Four kinds of job, done well

Small, targeted projects where we know we can genuinely make a difference. If yours doesn't fit a box below, ask anyway — the boxes are ours, not yours.

BuildCMS deployment

Sites you can run yourself

Content management that's simple to use, cheap to maintain and easy to keep updated — without calling us every time you need a comma changed.

DesignCustom look & feel

Your idea, made real

Got a look in mind? We work with trusted designers to create exactly the feel your brand deserves — not a theme with your logo dropped in.

GrowthSEO & marketing

Found by the right people

Search strategy that's built into the site itself, not bolted on afterwards. We cut through the noise and skip the snake oil.

RescueSecurity recovery

Breached? Breathe.

We find the root cause, isolate the threat and put your site back together — then make sure it doesn't happen twice.

The rate card

Reasonable, in writing

One document, no asterisks. If something here doesn't fit your project, we'll change it — one size definitely doesn't fit all.

Q & A

Asked often, answered honestly

The questions every client asks before working with us — including the awkward ones.

Q.01Which technology will you build my site with?+
It depends on what you actually need. WordPress is excellent for content-led sites and businesses that want to manage their own content easily. Bootstrap and custom code give us more design freedom and performance for leaner builds. Often we combine both — a custom-styled WordPress theme gives you the best of both worlds. We'll recommend what's right for you, not what's easiest for us.
Q.02Why choose Acacia Web?+
We focus on small, targeted projects where we know we can genuinely make a difference. No large agency overhead, no passing you down the chain. Give us a try — you've nothing to lose until you're 100% satisfied.
Q.03Will I own the end result?+
Yes, absolutely. We reserve no rights to any of your content. Everything we build remains your property. We may ask to include a small backlink to our site, but even that is entirely your choice.
Q.04What about image copyright?+
A valid concern. We use royalty-free image sources such as Pexels, maintaining all contractual obligations. The same applies to stock photography — everything is above board and properly licensed.
Q.05Why not just build it myself?+
Why not? Genuinely — many people do. But the real value isn't just in building the site, it's in the ongoing stability, performance, security and data analysis. That's where Acacia Web pays for itself.
