Your place already has character.Your website should show it.

Structure before styling

The pages, priorities and key messages are agreed first, so the design has something real to support.

Built for real-world mobile use

Designed for small screens first, with clear navigation, generous tap targets and contrast that holds up outdoors.

Yours to keep

You receive the completed website, access to the agreed accounts and assets, and a clear handover. Ongoing support is available, but there is no compulsory care plan.

Willow & Hearth Café

A warm, editorial café concept that makes the menu, opening hours and visiting information easy to find.

Seabrook Guest House

A small coastal guest house concept centred on rooms, location and experience, with a simple booking enquiry designed for mobile.

Alder & Steel Barbers

A confident, tactile barbershop concept with services and prices stated clearly, a strong introduction to the team and one obvious route to book.

A focused custom website for one venue, service or trade—up to eight sections, clear navigation, one enquiry path and two rounds of revisions.

A structured multi-page website for cafés, restaurants, guest houses, studios, clinics and local services, with custom page structure, image direction and clear enquiry paths.

Optional hosting, backups, routine updates and one small content update each month.

Need something sooner?

A fixed-format launch page is available from £195, typically delivered in 3–5 working days.

Conversation

A short conversation about the business, its customers and what the new website needs to achieve.

Structure and words

Page structure, priorities and copy direction are agreed before design begins.

Design and build

Designed mobile first, then desktop. You see the website on a real link and on your own phone as it develops.

Launch and aftercare

Domain connection, basic search setup and a clear handover, followed by 30 days of post-launch fixes.

Direct by design.One clear line from first conversation to launch.

Front Door Studio is an independent web design and development practice led by Ivan. It is built for owner-run businesses that want thoughtful design, direct communication and a focused project scope—not a larger agency process.

Strategy, structure, design and development stay connected throughout the project. You work with Ivan from the first conversation through to launch, with progress shown early and decisions explained clearly.

Best suited to owner-run businesses that value clear communication, thoughtful design and a straightforward project scope.

Owner-run independent businesses of every kind: cafés and restaurants, guest houses and B&Bs, barbers and salons, studios, clinics, makers and trades—in the UK, across Europe and worldwide. If customers need to understand what you offer and then visit, book or enquire, the work is a good fit.
