Service

Your website developed entirely by hand

No CMS, no plugins that break, no updates to keep up with. You get the code, it is yours, and it costs half of WordPress.

A website written for your business, not bolted onto a content system

A hand-coded website is one we write from scratch for your project. Not a bought template, not a design recycled from another client, not a visual builder that breaks when you change one setting. We start from a blank page, design the interface and write it line by line until it does exactly what your business needs.

What we hand over is the code, and the code is yours. There is no panel to click through, no plugins to update and no dependencies that expire. Nothing a third party can break with a Tuesday afternoon update, and nothing that ties you to this agency: it is a standard web project that any other developer with experience can continue.

The economic argument is simple: the same website costs half as much when it is written by hand. With WordPress you also pay for the CMS, the plugins and the maintenance that comes with them; here none of that exists. The comparison is €400 against €800 for a landing page, €500 against €1,000 for a one-pager, €800 against €1,600 for a corporate site and €1,500 against €3,000 for an online store. WordPress remains the right choice when you need to edit the content yourself without depending on anyone, and that is why it costs double.

What hand-coded development includes

  • Bespoke UX/UI design

    Wireframes, mockups and visual design specific to your brand. Every site is designed from scratch, we do not start from a theme and change the colour.

  • Fully hand-coded development

    We write the complete code for your website. No bought templates, no visual builders and no external dependencies.

  • No CMS, no plugins, no updates

    There is nothing to update and nothing a third party can break. The site we hand over today is the one still working three years from now.

  • Performance and technical SEO built in

    Fast loading, structured data, sitemap and configuration done properly from the start, not switched on at the end with a plugin.

  • Catalogue or online store

    Store with a payment gateway, product pages, shipping and per-product SEO, with no dependence on paid or expiring plugins.

  • Deploy, domain and analytics

    We publish the site and set up the security certificate, the domain and the measurement tools.

  • Source code handover and documentation

    You receive the complete source code and clear documentation of how it is built. It is yours and you can do with it whatever you want.

  • Content changes quoted separately

    With no CMS, we make the text, photo or product changes, quoted one by one and with no mandatory monthly fee.

How we work on the project

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A meeting to understand your business, your customers and what the site has to achieve. We define scope, pages and a fixed budget.

  2. 02

    Design

    Wireframes and interface mockups. We test the information architecture before writing a single line of code.

  3. 03

    Development

    We build in short deliveries, with a review on every finished block. You see the work running, not on a blueprint.

  4. 04

    Handover and launch

    We publish the site, set up the domain and analytics, and hand over the code with its documentation.

This is not the website you need. Have a look at these

Not everyone is looking for the same thing and we would rather you did not book the wrong service. If your case resembles any of these, follow the link: it is a better fit than a hand-coded site.

  • WordPress

    If you will edit the content yourself every week

    We build it with a panel and show you how to use it. It costs double, and in exchange you change text, photos and products without calling us. If content is the heart of your website, this is your option.

  • Web applications

    If what you need is an internal tool or a panel with users

    Custom software: admin panels, dashboards, platforms with roles and permissions. This is not a business website, it is a piece of software, and it starts at €3,500 because the work is a different scale.

  • Web Esencial

    If you only need a one-page website to get moving

    We already have a fixed-price product for that, with its own page and its own quote. It is the fastest and cheapest way to get online without extra complications.

Where this is heading

We are building Strata, our own content manager, so that hand-coded websites can also be updated without depending on us. It is not finished and we are not selling it as something you can sign up for today: if you need to edit the content from day one, the honest answer is still WordPress.

Frequently asked questions

  • How much does a hand-coded website cost?

    From €400 for a landing page up to €1,500 for an online store. The mid-range plans are One-Page €500 and Corporate website €800. All cost half of their WordPress equivalent.

  • What is the difference with a WordPress site?

    WordPress puts a content panel on top of the site, which is why you can change text, photos or products yourself. A hand-coded site has no panel, no plugins and nothing to update, and that is why it costs half. If you will edit content every week, we will recommend WordPress without hesitation; if the site is published and then rarely touched, this option is cheaper and lasts longer.

  • What if one day I do need to edit the content myself?

    That is where WordPress wins, and we will not pretend otherwise: if you need a panel to publish without depending on anyone, WordPress is the right option even though it costs double. With a hand-coded site we make the content changes, quoted separately and with no mandatory monthly fee.

  • Will the website be mine when the project ends?

    Yes. You receive the complete source code, the content, the domain and the hosting. There is no licence to renew, no permanent fee and no provider who can take your access away.

  • Will I be locked in with this agency?

    The opposite of a proprietary system. With no CMS and no paid plugins there is nothing contractual tying you in and nothing to renew. What you get is a standard web project, with the code in your hands, that another developer can continue without us.

  • Is this the same as a web application?

    No, and the two should not be confused. We are talking about business websites here: landing pages, catalogues, stores, corporate sites, contact forms and search positioning. If what you need is custom software —an internal tool, a dashboard with users and permissions, your own platform— that is a different service and starts at €3,500.

  • Do I need a specific type of hosting?

    No. A hand-coded site needs normal, lightweight hosting, which is also cheaper than what WordPress requires with its database and plugins. We can manage it for you or you can use the hosting you already have.

  • What if a year from now I want to edit the content myself?

    We are building Strata, our own content manager, so that hand-coded sites can also be managed without depending on us. It is not finished yet and we are not selling it as something you can sign up for today. If you need that guarantee from day one, the honest answer is WordPress.
