About Cromplex
You run the business.
We'll handle the craft.
A website should feel effortless to you, even when there’s a lot going on under the hood. We build it and look after it so you can stay focused on running the business.
Every site we make is bespoke, built by hand, and still looked after long after it goes live.
More about the studio →Why Cromplex
Why this works.
Trust in the first second
People decide if a business is legit before they read a word. A fast, well-designed website earns that trust instantly — especially on mobile.
Phones first, always
Most of your visitors arrive on a phone. We design and test there first — desktop comes second, not the other way around.
Crystal clear messaging
Every page has one job. Visitors know what you offer, where you are, and how to reach you within seconds of landing.
Room to grow with you
We build your site so you can add pages, update copy, and expand over time. Not the kind of thing you throw out and rebuild in a year.
Shaped around how you work
No rigid templates. Your website design fits around your business, your customers, and how you actually operate.
Craft you can feel
Clean code, considered design, thoughtful details. The kind of quality that's hard to see in a screenshot but easy to feel when you use the site.
Choosing a studio
What to look for
They write code, not drag blocks
Template sites all feel the same because they are the same. A studio that writes actual code can shape the site around your business instead of forcing your business into a layout someone else designed.
Speed is in the foundation, not bolted on
Ask how fast their sites load. If the answer involves plugins and optimization tools, the site was slow to begin with. Speed should be a byproduct of how the site is built, not a fix applied afterward.
They stick around after launch
The build is the easy part. What matters is who picks up the phone six months later when something breaks, needs updating, or stops working on a new phone. If support ends at launch, you're on your own.
They explain things in plain language
If a studio can't explain what they're doing without jargon, they're either hiding something or don't understand it well enough themselves. You should always know what you're paying for and why.
Compare your options
Custom build vs. template vs. DIY
| Custom build | Template | DIY builder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Designed around your business, customers, and goals | Pre-built layout with your content dropped in | You pick from a handful of themes and adjust colors |
| Performance | Hand-optimized — typically scores 90+ on PageSpeed | Varies — often weighed down by unused features | Depends on the platform — usually mediocre out of the box |
| Mobile experience | Designed mobile-first, tested on real devices | Responsive but not optimized for mobile-first use | Responsive in theory, often awkward in practice |
| SEO foundations | Clean structure, proper headings, fast loads, schema markup | Basic SEO — depends heavily on the developer | Platform handles basics, but limited control |
| Ongoing changes | Easy to update — or we handle it for you | Possible, but often requires the developer again | You do everything yourself |
| Long-term cost | Higher upfront, lower total cost over 3+ years | Lower upfront, but redesign usually needed within 2 years | Cheapest upfront, but your time is the hidden cost |

How it works
How a project actually goes
- 01
A conversation, not a pitch
Twenty minutes on a call. We ask about your business, who you're trying to reach, and what's not working right now. No slides, no sales talk.
- 02
Structure before design
We map out the site — what pages exist, what each one needs to say, and how a visitor moves through them. Design comes after the thinking.
- 03
Built from scratch
Every line of code is written by hand. Speed, mobile, and search aren't added at the end — they're in the foundation.
- 04
Launch, then we stay
The site goes live, we walk you through everything, and we stay close for the first month. After that, still just an email away.
Straight answers
Questions people ask
How long does it take to build a new website?
Two to four weeks from our first real conversation. We'll give you a timeline before we start, and we keep to it.
Do I need to provide all the content and images?
It helps if you have some ideas, but we don't expect finished copy. We'll work with what you've got — even rough notes — and shape it into something clear.
Will my site work well on phones?
That's where we start. We design for mobile first, test there first, and make sure everything feels right at every screen size.
What happens after the site goes live?
We stick around. Same people, same email. If you want ongoing care — updates, security, speed — our maintenance plan covers the lot.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes — we'll set it up so you can make edits without calling us. And if you'd rather someone else dealt with it, that's what the maintenance plan is for.
Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?
They're fine for some situations. But they control your hosting, limit what you can customize, and get slower as you add features. A hand-built site loads faster, gives you full ownership, and doesn't lock you into a platform's pricing changes.
What makes this different from hiring a freelancer?
Freelancers build the site and move on. We build it, maintain it, and answer when you call. You get a studio behind you, not a single person who might be unavailable when something breaks.
