What we do
Your website is often the first impression your business makes — and getting that right can be challenging. But done well, it becomes a real asset; something that builds trust and tells your story. To help you get there we offer the following services.
Web Design
Your design is often the first thing people notice — and first impressions matter. We focus on creating clean, thoughtful designs that reflect your brand, tell your story, and help build instant trust with your audience. It’s about more than just looking good — it’s about showing up in the right way, from the very first click.
Web Development
A beautiful site means nothing if it doesn’t perform. That’s where development comes in. We build responsive, fast-loading, accessible websites that are easy to manage and ready to scale. Whether it's a simple portfolio or a fully custom setup, we make sure the tech side is solid — so your site just works, every time.
Web Hosting
Once your site’s live, it needs a reliable home. We offer web hosting that’s secure, fast, and fuss-free — so you don’t have to stress about downtime, updates, or anything technical. Think of it like your site’s foundation: rock steady, always up-to-date, and quietly doing its job in the background.
Brand Design
Your brand is more than just a logo — it’s how your business shows up and how people remember you. We help you build a visual identity that feels aligned with who you are and where you're going. From colour palettes to typography and beyond, everything we create is designed to bring consistency, personality, and trust to every touchpoint.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Even the best website won’t do much if no one can find it. That’s where SEO comes in. We take care of the behind-the-scenes stuff — keyword setup, technical optimisation, and on-page structure — so your site shows up in search results and gets in front of the right people. It’s all about helping your site work smarter in the long run.
Examples of our work
We could talk all day about what we do — but the best way to show it is to let the work speak for itself. Every project in our portfolio is a reflection of a real business, with real goals, and a shared process that brought their vision to life. Here's a look at some of those sites.

What our client's say
It’s one thing for us to say we care about getting things right — but it means a whole lot more coming from the people we’ve worked with. These testimonials are from clients we’ve partnered with. Real feedback, from real people.

Blog posts
Tips, thoughts, and behind-the-scenes bits from the studio. Whether it’s web design advice, business insights, or lessons we’ve learned along the way — this is where we share what we know, in a way that’s actually useful.
Still have questions?
We get it — starting a new project comes with a lot of questions. So we’ve pulled together answers to some of the things we’re asked most often. If there’s something you’re still wondering about, just reach out — we’re always happy to chat.
01
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines can vary depending on the size and scope of the project, but most websites take around 4–6 weeks from start to finish. We’ll always agree on a timeline together before anything kicks off.
02
Who is on the Harbourside Digital team?
While our founder Lewis is the lead on every project, the team setup depends on your goals and the size of the project. For smaller builds, you’ll likely work directly with Lewis from start to finish. For larger projects, he’ll bring in a few trusted collaborators — designers, developers, or specialists — to make sure everything runs smoothly and meets the mark.
03
What happens once the project is finished?
We’re all about giving you the tools and confidence to manage your own site — whether that’s updating copy, adding blog posts, or swapping out images. That said, we know there’s always a bit of a learning curve. So as part of our service, we include post-launch support (from 1 week to 1 month, depending on your package) to help with any questions or tweaks as you get settled in.
04
Are you able to start immediately?
We usually book projects around 3–6 weeks in advance. That lead time tends to work well — it gives us a chance to handle any prep work so we’re ready to hit the ground running when things kick off. If you’re working to a tighter timeline though, just let us know. We’ll always do our best to make it work.
05
How do you build your websites?
We don’t believe in forcing a “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to building websites. Part of what we do is listen to what your project actually needs, then recommend the best platform based on that. That said, more often than not, Webflow is our go-to — it’s powerful, flexible, and gives our clients the control they need post-launch.
06
What types of clients do you work with?
We work with a wide range of businesses — but small to mid-sized companies offering professional services are right up our street. Whether you’re a solo operator or a growing team, we’re all about creating websites that help you show up with confidence.
