Expert Website Development – Custom Solutions That Drive Growth

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of websites do you develop at 2Cubed?

We build websites that do exactly what your business needs them to do — no fluff, no one-size-fits-all templates.

That could be:

• A clean, professional brochure site to show off your brand
• A powerful eCommerce store with real-time stock and payment integrations
• A custom booking or membership system built around how your business operates
• Or a fully bespoke web application with advanced features and integrations

We’ve worked with everyone from start-ups and small businesses to large public-sector organisations and national brands — across industries like retail, hospitality, education, and professional services.

No matter the project, our goal is to create a website built for your users, supports your goals, and grows with your business.

How long does a website development project usually take?

Most brochure websites take around 8–12 weeks from start to finish. Timelines can vary depending on the complexity of the site, especially if custom features or integrations are involved.

Our process includes:

• Planning & scoping
• Design review & approval
• Development & testing
• Content loading
• Final review & launch

Have a deadline? Just let us know — we’ll build the schedule around it and keep you updated throughout.

What platform will my website be developed on?

It depends on what your website needs to do — we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all.

At 2Cubed, we match the platform to your goals, budget, and functionality. Once we understand your business, we’ll recommend the best-fit solution.

Some of the platforms we use include:

• WordPress – Great for content-led or brochure-style sites
• WooCommerce – Ideal for selling online with built-in product and payment tools
• Headless CMS (e.g. Storyblok + Next.js) – For fast, flexible websites with advanced integrations
• Custom PHP – When you need something fully bespoke and built from scratch

Whatever the platform, our goal is to make your website fast, secure, and easy to manage — both now and in the future.

Will my website be mobile-friendly and responsive?

Yes — 100%.

Every website we build is designed to work beautifully on mobile, tablet, and desktop. We take a mobile-first approach from the start, so your site won’t just shrink to fit — it’ll feel natural and easy to use, no matter the device.

Our front-end developers follow best practices to make sure everything looks great and runs smoothly. And before we launch, we test your site across multiple screen sizes to catch any issues and make sure your visitors get a consistent, high-quality experience.

Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support?

Yes, absolutely — we don’t disappear once your site goes live.

We offer reliable, ongoing maintenance and support to keep your website secure, updated, and performing the way it should. Whether it’s regular updates or quick help when something breaks, we’ve got you covered.

Our maintenance packages can include:

• Software, plugin, and server updates
• Speed optimisation and security checks
• Bug fixes and small content changes
• Ongoing monitoring and priority support when you need it

You can choose a monthly support package with set hours, or reach out as needed — whatever works best for your business.

What if I have complex requirements or third-party integrations?

That’s where we shine. We specialise in building websites with custom business logic and complex functionality, including integrations with CRMs, ERPs, booking systems, and more.

Some examples include:

• Connecting WooCommerce with inventory or accounting systems
• Integrating Stripe, PayPal, or membership platforms
• Custom workflows for quoting, registration, or document access
• API integrations with systems like Salesforce, Sage, HubSpot, Moodle, etc.

If your project requires something more than “off-the-shelf”, we’ll build it to fit.

How does good development impact SEO?

Search engines care just as much about how your site is built as what’s on it. That’s why we follow best development practices that lay a strong foundation for SEO success:

• Clean, semantic HTML for better crawlability
• Fast-loading pages to meet Core Web Vitals
• Schema markup and structured data
• Mobile-first performance
• Secure HTTPS and optimised site architecture

We also configure Yoast SEO Premium on WordPress sites and can support your SEO strategy post-launch.

Do you build accessible websites that comply with WCAG and EU regulations?

Yes, accessibility is a core part of our development process. We design and build to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and help clients prepare for the upcoming EU Accessibility Act 2025.

This includes:

• Keyboard navigation support
• ARIA labels and roles
• Colour contrast checks
• Semantic markup
• Screen reader compatibility

We also offer accessibility audits, automated tools like EqualWeb, and clear accessibility statements if required.

Do you use templates or build websites from scratch?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. At 2Cubed, every website is bespoke and built from the ground up based on your business goals, brand, and functionality needs.

That means:

• Custom designs from our in-house UI/UX team
• Tailored code, not recycled templates
• Fully branded front-end and clean back-end setup
• Scalable frameworks that grow with your business

If flexibility, originality, and performance are important to you, we’re the right fit.

How do you ensure security and speed in your website builds?

We build every website with performance and security in mind from day one.

Here’s how we do it:

• We use SSL as standard to keep data secure
• Host on trusted platforms like Kinsta or Vercel for speed and reliability
• Write clean, efficient code – no unnecessary bulk
• Add protection with tools like Wordfence Pro, reCAPTCHA, and ManageWP
• Keep everything monitored and up to date to avoid issues before they start

Before launch, we also run speed and performance tests to make sure everything runs smoothly.

What makes a good Web Developer?
