Website design & development
Your website is the first thing people judge you on. Ours are built to be judged well
“Our website looks like it was built in 2015, and nobody here can change it.” It loads slowly on a phone, the copy is three services out of date, and every small edit means emailing whoever built it.
The problem
A dated website costs you the enquiry before you ever hear about it
Most people check your website before they call. If it loads slowly, reads as though it was written for a different business, or is awkward to use on a phone, they leave. You never find out they were there. The cost is invisible, which is why it goes unfixed for years.
The second cost is the one you feel daily: not being able to change anything. A price goes up, a service changes, a new case arrives, and it sits in a to-do list because publishing it needs a developer who is busy with something else.
The solution
What we build: a site designed around the one thing you need visitors to do
We start with what the site is for. Usually it is one action — an enquiry, a booking, a quote request — and everything else is in service of that. We map the pages a visitor actually needs, write or restructure the content with you, and design around how it reads rather than designing a shell and pouring text into it later. At the lower end of the range that means choosing a good template and shaping it around your content; at the higher end it means drawing the page layouts for your content specifically.
The build is mobile-first, because that is where most of your visitors are. Pages are built to load quickly on an ordinary phone connection, images are compressed and sized properly, and the structure is laid out so search engines can read what each page is about.
You get an editor for the parts that change. Text, images, prices, team members and new pages are yours to edit without us. The things that should not move — layout, navigation structure, styling — stay consistent, so the site cannot be accidentally broken by an edit.
The design and the build are both done by our own team of 15 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, working with clients across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. More about BuildAI.
We wanted a modern, professional website that would provide a better experience for our visitors. BuildAI understood our vision and helped us move toward a clean, user-friendly design.
The kind of sites we build
Service business site
A handful of pages that explain what you do, who it is for and what it costs, ending in an enquiry form that reaches the right inbox.
Multi-service company site
A page per service and per audience, structured so each one can rank and be linked to on its own, with a shared design and one place to edit.
Content-led site
A site built around regularly published articles or case studies, with categories, search and a publishing workflow your team runs without us.

What changes between a smaller site and a larger one
The range below is wide because websites are. The difference is the number of pages, how much of the design is bespoke, and how much of the content has to be written rather than moved across.
At the lower end
- Around five pages: home, services, about, contact and one more
- A clean design built on a well-chosen template, in your brand colours
- Your existing content moved across and tidied, not rewritten
- One enquiry form and the basic search-engine setup
- An editor for text, images and new pages
At the higher end
- Fifteen or more pages, including a page per service and per audience
- A bespoke design, with page layouts drawn for your content specifically
- Content written with you, not just migrated
- Multiple forms, booking or payment, and integrations with tools you already use
- A blog or case-study section with its own publishing workflow
- Migration from an old site, with redirects so existing links keep working
What you get
- A sitemap and page-by-page plan, agreed before any design work starts
- Designs you approve before development, desktop and mobile
- A built, tested site deployed to hosting in your own account
- An editor for the content you will want to change, and a short guide to using it
- Search-engine basics: titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemap and redirects
- The full source code, in a repository in your name
Every project also includes a free initial consultation, a dedicated timeline, written progress updates on a fixed schedule and full source code ownership on final payment.
Typical timeline
Typically 2–6 weeks, depending on the number of pages and how much content needs writing.
Week 1
Plan and structure
We agree what the site is for, map the pages, and work out what content exists and what has to be written.
Weeks 1–3
Design
Page designs for desktop and mobile, reviewed with you, with the real content in them rather than placeholder text.
Weeks 3–6
Build, test and launch
The build, your content loaded in, testing on real devices, then launch with redirects from the old site in place.
The weeks shown describe a project at the upper end of the range. A smaller site runs the same three stages in less time.
Questions businesses ask before starting
Can we edit the site ourselves afterwards?
Yes. That is the point of how we build it. Text, images, prices and new pages are yours to change without a developer. We hand over a short guide and walk your team through it before launch.
Do we own the site, or are we renting it from you?
You own it. The hosting is in your account, the domain stays in your name, and the source code is in a repository you control. Nothing is locked to us, and you can take it to any developer.
What about our existing site and its search rankings?
We map every old page to its new equivalent and put redirects in place at launch, so existing links and anything search engines already know about keep working rather than landing on an error page.
Will the site need AI features?
Only if they solve something. Plenty of websites need none at all. If a support assistant or an automated enquiry flow would genuinely help, we will say so and price it separately. We do not add AI to justify the invoice.
Typical investment
Starter to Growth package
$800–$5,000
Small business / MVP
A small site with your existing content sits at the lower end of the range, inside the Starter package. A larger site with a bespoke design, content written with you and migration from an old one moves into Growth.
