01 / Studio services

Make the first visit count.

Your website is often the first experience people have of your business. We bring together brand, content, accessible design, and thoughtful interactions to make that experience clear, useful, and distinctly yours.

From the first impression to the next step, we design around the people who need to use it.

A website can be part of a more connected way of working. We help connect digital experiences with tools for customer relationships, analytics, marketing and operations—so information is easier to use and follow-up is easier to manage.

02 / Make it yours. Keep it yours.

Build something your team can

A website needs to work for the people who visit it and the people who look after it. With a content management system, your team can update the content that matters—without editing code for every change.

New features and custom layouts may still need development. The goal is to make everyday updates straightforward while keeping room for the website to evolve.

One block. Two connected sides.

What visitors see. What your team edits.

A reusable block connects the website component with the fields your team edits. Put those blocks together to create pages that stay consistent while giving you control over your content.

Why Payload?

A content model shaped around your website.

Payload CMS lets us define the content fields around the way your website is built. Your team can edit the content; the component controls how it appears. Blocks and templates provide reusable starting points for pages and features.

Get Started with our Boilerplates

And how is that different from WordPress?

WordPress can also use blocks and custom themes. Designs Dusted works with a custom React front end and a content model built for Payload CMS. The right choice depends on the editing experience, integrations and ongoing maintenance your business needs.
But if you’re already using NextJS or React components,then why complicate it with WordPress?

03 / After the website goes live

Say what you need.
Give your tools a way to help.

Your website is one part of your working day. Analytics can help you understand activity. A CRM can keep customer conversations organised. Connected tools can reduce repeated admin and help information reach the next step.

We’ll look at your current process and identify where a connection or automation could be useful.

HOW WE WORK

A clear plan.
From first conversation to launch.

An indicative six-week plan, with scope, dates and review points agreed for your project.

1
Before kickoff

Review

We start with your business, your customers and what the website needs to achieve. Whether you have an existing site or are starting fresh, we identify the priorities together.

  • Goals and priorities
  • Opportunities to improve
2
Week 1

Plan

We turn those priorities into a clear sitemap, content requirements and technical approach. Scope, timing and review points are agreed before work begins.

  • Sitemap and feature scope
  • Agreed schedule and review points
3
Weeks 2–3

Design

We shape the pages around your brand and the people using them. You review the desktop and mobile layouts so we can agree the direction before development.

  • Desktop and mobile layouts
  • Design direction for approval
4
Weeks 4–5

Build

We build the agreed designs into a responsive website. A staging preview lets you review the content, interactions and functionality before it goes live.

  • Working staging preview
  • Content and functionality review
5
Week 6

Launch

We check the pages, links and forms, then prepare the website for launch. Where a CMS is included, we walk your team through managing everyday content.

  • Launch checks and deployment
  • Editor handover where CMS is included

Good to know

Frequently asked
questions.

Yes. We work directly with businesses to understand their goals, customers and current setup before recommending an approach.

Yes. Start with a discovery call and describe what’s getting in the way. We can discuss the options and decide on a useful next step.

Yes, where the project includes a content management system. The editing experience is planned around the content your team needs to manage. New features or layouts may require development.

No. The right platform depends on your project, editing needs, integrations and maintenance requirements. Payload CMS is the platform used for the Designs Dusted UI Library.

It is a collection of reusable Payload CMS blocks, components, templates and boilerplates for building with Next.js and Payload CMS.

Pricing reflects the scope, features and content you need. We agree the deliverables and quote before work begins.

Our indicative plan spans six weeks. Complexity, content readiness and feedback affect timing; your proposal confirms the schedule.

Custom development gives us control over the experience, performance and integrations, rather than working within a builder’s constraints.

Explore the selected work and discuss your brief directly with us. Clear deliverables and review points make progress visible.

Share your location and project needs so we can discuss communication, time zones and whether the arrangement works.
