A confident pairing for character and clarity.
Design built around your brand
From our Cornwall studio, we give design the same depth of thought as development. We begin with the business, its audience and what the work needs to achieve, then refine typography, colour, proportion, hierarchy, interaction and every responsive state into one clear visual system.
From logo to every interaction, unmistakably on brand.
Our design strengths
We’re at our best where visual character meets technical discipline. Grids, ratios, spacing and type scales bring mathematical order; intuition and experience give it character. Nothing is styled in isolation, and every detail has to strengthen the whole.
Technical foundations
With 25+ years behind the work, the stack is chosen around maintainability, performance, security and the people each project needs to serve.
Fast static-first websites with clear structure and only the interactivity they need.
Polished interactive interfaces that feel memorable without becoming heavy.
Precise, responsive design systems without heavy overhead.
Fast hosting, DNS, security and dependable deployment at the edge.
Lean custom themes and careful migrations, with security kept firmly in view.
Content delivery stack
We also work with Shopify, DigitalOcean, Azure and plenty more, alongside practical Search Engine Optimisation. The important bit is choosing what is best for the project and the people using it.
Maintainable server-side development for business logic and integrations.
Structured .NET CMS builds with a strong editing experience.
Robust server-side systems and integrations built to last.
Smooth, lightweight interactive features built to stay maintainable.
Search optimisation, page speed and release practices that keep sites performing.
Measured performance
Fast, stable websites make a stronger first impression, build trust and make it easier for people to enquire, buy or book.
We build and improve sites across the full Google Lighthouse standard: fast loading, smooth responses, stable layouts, accessibility, technical quality, security, search visibility and AI-enabled browsing.
Lighthouse powers the lab scores in Google PageSpeed Insights. We review Lighthouse performance as the site is updated and publish each verified mobile and desktop result. Scores and loading metrics are averages across every published test. Accessibility, best practices, SEO and agentic browsing are reported alongside performance, because speed is only one part of the standard.

SEO & AI search
Help customers in Cornwall and beyond find your business on Google and through AI search. We bring together a stronger website, useful content and a wider online presence, all handled by Stormy Studios.
Whether you need a new website or want more from your current one, we’ll identify the opportunities, do the work and keep improving it around your business goals.
Searches that matter
Connect with customers searching for the services you offer, in the places you work.
Understand what your customers search for, where your website can improve and which changes deserve attention first.
Improve your pages, content and technical foundations so customers and search engines can understand your business.
Build local visibility and relevant links that help people discover your business beyond your own website.
AI consulting & integration
Practical Artificial Intelligence consultancy for businesses in Cornwall, Devon and across the UK. Used well, AI reduces repetitive work and cognitive load, leaving more time to explore and refine.
Stormy Studios’ strongest AI consulting work brings business strategy, design and development together: shaping the experience, connecting systems and turning capable technology into something genuinely useful.
Human-led by design
AI finds patterns in language and data, producing an output from the context it is given. It can work with everyday data, but clear, structured information improves reliability. Useful results still need an understanding of the business and its systems. AI can accelerate the process, but design, accessibility, performance, security and search visibility still need human direction, testing and appropriate restraint.
Context in
Useful outcomes
Identify where AI could add real value, where straightforward automation would be better and what a sensible first version should include.
Useful website and knowledge assistants built around approved information, clear limits and a straightforward route to a person.
Connect forms, email, bookings, payments, portals and internal tools, using AI where interpretation or summarising genuinely improves the flow.

Frequently asked questions
Every project is different, but a few practical questions come up often. Here are the short answers. If there is anything you would like to discuss in more detail, please get in touch.
Projects range from focused promotional and content-managed websites to ecommerce platforms, web applications and client portals. We also create integrations with other websites, apps and services, digital design systems and supporting tools. We can lead a new idea from the start, shape something less conventional or improve an existing site where its structure, design, content, functionality or performance need attention.
No. Stormy Studios is based in Pelynt, near Looe, and works with businesses throughout Cornwall and Devon, as well as clients across the UK. Local meetings are available when useful, with a simple remote process for projects further afield.
There is no one-size-fits-all package. Cost depends on scope, content and functionality. We do not set an entry-level price. Tell us the budget you are working with and we will be straightforward about what can be achieved for that figure. After an initial conversation, we provide a clear estimate and recommend what is genuinely needed, with later changes discussed before they become extra work.
Timing depends on scope, content readiness and feedback. We agree a realistic schedule before work starts and can phase more involved projects so progress stays clear and manageable.
Yes, where regular updates are needed. We choose and configure the content management system around the content and the people using it, so day-to-day editing feels straightforward without compromising structure or performance.
Once the project has been paid for, our clients own the completed website and all agreed project deliverables. We do not lock clients into Stormy Studios’ services, so they are free to appoint another company to work on the site at any time. Wherever practical, we encourage clients to register domains, hosting and other key services in their own name, then we show them how to add Stormy Studios as an administrator. That keeps ownership and control where they belong: with the client.
Launch includes final checks and handover. Hosting, security, maintenance, performance monitoring and ongoing improvements can then be handled through a care plan, while core accounts and project assets remain under your control.
Yes. We can refine your existing WordPress website, improve its hosting environment and provide care plans tailored to WordPress for updates, backups, security and ongoing support. If moving away from WordPress better suits your goals, we can plan a migration to Astro with EmDash for content management and Cloudflare for hosting. We review your content, features and editing needs first, then recommend the approach that fits your business.
