Why Mapletree
Why Nottingham businesses choose us.
Most sites in this bracket are assembled on a page builder, then hosted wherever was cheapest at the time, and the business spends the next three years paying for that in speed and in every change costing more than it should. We hand-code and deploy to infrastructure built for it, so the site stays fast and stays yours.
- 01
Hand-coded, not templated
Built on Astro, not WordPress page builders. No bloat, no plugin sprawl, nothing slowing the site down between you and the enquiry.
- 02
Fast by default
Pages engineered for fast loading and measured against an agreed performance budget before launch. Speed is the first thing a visitor feels and the first thing Google measures, so we treat it as non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have.
- 03
Built to convert
Clear messaging and an obvious next step on every page. A site that explains the work and makes getting in touch easy, not a brochure that just sits there.
- 04
Senior, small, hands-on
You work directly with the person building the site, no account managers, no handoffs to a junior, no being passed around an agency.
- 05
Search-ready foundations
Clean structure, sensible technical SEO, and schema done properly, the groundwork that helps a site rank, without empty promises of overnight number-one spots.
- 06
We stay on after launch
Launch is the start, not the finish. We can stay on as your operating partner to measure, improve, and keep the site earning its keep.
The build is half the job. Where a site lives, how it is deployed, and what happens when you need it changed decide whether it is still doing its job in two years.
Built, deployed and looked after.
- 01
Business websites
Multi-page sites where each service has a page worth ranking, structured around the enquiries you actually want rather than the org chart.
- 02
Ecommerce and catalogues
Product builds organised around how the range is genuinely shopped, kept fast however many variants sit behind it.
- 03
Redesigns and migrations
Moving off a page builder or an ageing CMS, keeping the URLs that already earn their keep and redirecting the ones that do not.
- 04
Hosting that is part of the build
Deployed to Cloudflare or Vercel, where speed and reliability come from the architecture rather than from a caching plugin.
- 05
Ongoing support
A retainer for the changes that come after launch, with no tie-in. The site and the code are yours whether you stay or not.
- 06
Search foundations
Clean structure, sensible technical SEO and schema done properly, set up for the specific searches your buyers run.
Local context
Working in Nottingham.
Nottingham is on our doorstep, around twenty-five minutes from Derby. We work remotely with operators right across the city and the wider county (West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Hucknall and Bulwell), meeting in person when a project genuinely benefits from it, and working remotely the rest of the time.
Nottingham runs on independent firms, trades, clinics and creative businesses, operators who win work on reputation but often have a website that undersells them. That is the gap we close: a fast, credible site that does the explaining and the enquiry-catching, so the reputation you have offline finally shows up online.
We also build across the region in Derby, Leicester, wider Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire.

How we work
How work actually moves.
A four-step loop. Diagnose, design, build, operate. Same shape on a retainer, same shape on a one-off engagement.
- 01
Diagnose
We map the business, the audience, and the pages that matter, then rule out what does not need building.
- 02
Design
We shape the system. Tools, workflows, and surfaces that fit how the business actually runs.
- 03
Build
Small, working pieces shipped in tight loops, pressure-tested against reality.
- 04
Operate
We stay on as the operating partner. Measure, evolve, retire what stops earning.
FAQs
Questions, answered.
- Are you based in Nottingham?
- No. We are a remote-first studio in the East Midlands and Nottingham is on our doorstep, around twenty-five minutes from Derby. We work with businesses right across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, meeting in person where a project earns it.
- What kind of Nottingham businesses do you work with?
- Trades and service firms, clinics and consultancies, property, storage and industrial businesses, and product sellers who need a catalogue that works. The common thread is a business that wins on reputation offline and has a website that does not show it.
- Do you handle the hosting too?
- Yes, and we treat it as part of the build rather than an afterthought. Sites are deployed to Cloudflare or Vercel, which is where the speed actually comes from. You own the accounts and the code, so you can take the whole thing elsewhere whenever you like.
- Can you move my existing site?
- Usually, yes. We rebuild on Astro, carry the content over, keep the URLs that are already earning traffic and redirect the rest. The aim is that search sees an upgrade rather than a new site appearing from nowhere.
- What does a website cost?
- A pilot landing page is a fixed scope with a fixed price. Full sites are quoted after a short discovery call so the number matches the work rather than a package tier. No lock-in retainers you cannot leave.
- How long does a website take?
- A pilot landing page in a few days. A full site in anything from a few days to three or four weeks. Content readiness usually sets the pace, not the build.
