A new studio with an old-fashioned idea.
Make something properly, charge a fair price for it, and tell people exactly what they are getting. PixenForge is an independent UK web design studio, started in 2026, building bespoke WordPress websites for small businesses that want to look the part.
How we work
You deal with the person who designs and builds your site, from first message to launch. We design the homepage first and show it to you as a working page, not a picture. We write everything down: what is included, what is not, what it costs now and what it costs later.
The name comes from the two things the work is made of. Pixels are the raw material of every website. A forge is where raw material is shaped into something that lasts.
What we will not do
- Invent reviews, awards or a client list. We are new, and we say so.
- Promise search rankings or a mention in an AI answer. Nobody can.
- Hold your domain or your site hostage. Both are yours.
- Tie you into annual contracts for care or visibility work.
- Dress up a template as a bespoke design.
Why work with a small studio?
- Design, not decoration
- Every site starts from your business and your customers, so it looks like you and does a job for you.
- Prices you can plan around
- Three fixed packages, a 50/50 payment split, and every ongoing cost written down before you commit.
- You keep control
- Your site runs on WordPress. Edit it yourself, or move it elsewhere if you ever want to. No annual contracts for anything.
- One person who knows your site
- You deal directly with the person who designed and built it, not a ticket queue.
How a project runs
Six clear steps from first message to launch. Timescales are agreed with you in writing at the start of each project.
Enquiry
Tell us about your business and pick a package. We reply with any questions and a written quote.
Deposit and brief
A 50% deposit books your slot. We gather your content, photos and what the site must do.
Design
We design your homepage first and share a working preview you can click through on your phone.
Build
The approved design becomes a real WordPress site, with your pages, forms and search foundations in place.
Review
You check everything and use your revision rounds. We make it right before anything goes live.
Launch and handover
Final payment, launch on your domain, and a short guide to editing your own site. Your 12 months of hosting and 3 months of visibility work start here.
Let's talk about your website.
Send a few details and we will come back with a written quote, usually with a couple of questions first. No pressure, no obligation.
