Web development services tailored to London businesses
Alex Costin’s web development covers discovery, design, build, launch, and continuous improvement. Whether you need a new site, a rebuild, or performance fixes, the focus is on speed, usability, and ROI.
Discovery, planning, and architecture
Every strong website starts with a clear plan. Alex conducts market, customer, and competitor research to define your site’s structure, navigation, and content priorities. He maps user journeys so that key pages support lead generation, sales, or bookings from the outset.
For London businesses, this includes understanding local search behaviour, competitor sites, and the specific needs of your audience, whether you operate in professional services, hospitality, retail, or tech.
Custom website design and development
Alex builds custom websites using modern, standards-compliant technologies. He specialises in Drupal for robust back-end functionality and Bootstrap for responsive, mobile-first front-ends, ensuring sites look and perform well on all devices.
His development approach emphasises clean HTML/CSS, semantic markup, and accessible components. This not only improves user experience but also helps search engines understand and rank your content more effectively.
Performance optimisation and PageSpeed
Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor. Alex optimises images, scripts, styles, and server responses to deliver lightning-fast load times. His sites regularly achieve 100/100 PageSpeed scores, reducing bounce rates and improving ad and SEO quality scores.
Faster sites also lower hosting costs and improve the performance of paid campaigns, as landing pages load instantly and keep users engaged. This technical discipline has helped reduce PPC costs by up to 90% in some engagements by maximising landing page quality.
SEO-ready development
Most websites are built first and optimised later. Alex builds SEO into the foundation: clean URLs, proper heading structures, schema markup, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, and internal linking are all configured during development.
He also sets up analytics, tag managers, and conversion tracking from day one, so you can measure performance accurately and iterate based on data. This approach supports his record of ranking pages on the first position in as little as 11 days.
Integrations, automation, and scalability
Modern websites need to work with other tools. Alex integrates sites with CRM systems, email marketing platforms, payment gateways, and analytics suites. He also implements marketing automation workflows to nurture leads and reduce manual work.
Whether you need multi-language support, e-commerce functionality, or complex data feeds, Alex designs architectures that scale as your business grows, without compromising speed or SEO.
Redesigns, migrations, and technical fixes
If you already have a website but it’s slow, poorly structured, or underperforming, Alex can audit and rebuild it. He identifies technical debt, template limitations, and SEO issues, then migrates content to a cleaner, faster, and more conversion-focused build.
His experience includes fixing sites that suffer from bot traffic, wasted ad spend, and poor tracking, ensuring that your digital foundation supports growth rather than holding it back.
