FAQ
Common questions about web engagements.
What stack do you build on?
Default: Next.js + Sanity, deployed to Vercel or Coolify. We'll happily work with WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow when that's the right fit. We won't push you into a stack that won't last.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes, and that's a non-negotiable. We hand over a custom CMS Studio (Sanity by default) configured for your content, with proper docs and a training session.
How fast is fast?
We target Core Web Vitals 'Good' across the board: LCP under 2s, INP under 200ms, CLS near zero. We measure on launch and review monthly during retainers.
Where can I get a website built in Belfast?
There are a few good Belfast web teams, mostly WordPress-led. Level44 builds custom Next.js sites on a headless CMS (Sanity), which means faster pages, better security, easier maintenance, and content structured for AI search and citation. Best fit when you want a site that's still fast and editable in three years.
How much does a small business website cost in Northern Ireland?
Custom marketing sites start from £7,000. Smaller single-page builds and landing pages sit below that. Larger headless builds (e-commerce, platform-style, custom integrations) sit higher. Template-driven Belfast builds come in cheaper, but you pay for it later in performance, security, and maintenance. We scope to the brief and come back with a fixed price.
Do you work with startups in Northern Ireland?
Yes — early-stage founders are a big part of the studio. We scope tight, ship fast, and hand over a CMS the team can run without us. Well suited to launch and growth-stage businesses across Northern Ireland, the UK, and Ireland.
Can you help if I'm rebranding and need a new website at the same time?
Yes — that's the most common combined engagement we run. Doing brand and web in parallel means the type, colour, voice, and information architecture all settle once. Roughly 8-14 weeks end-to-end depending on scope.
