How we do web design
We start by delving deep into the intricacies of your business, scrutinising your customer base to pinpoint their unique needs and analysing what sets you apart from your competitors.
Through extensive user interviews, we unravel the nuances of how your site should function and how it can work harder for you.
Leveraging heat mapping and Google Analytics, we amalgamate external data with your business specifics.
The result? A clear blueprint that sets the stage for web development success.
As a modern web development agency, we embrace a modular approach, to ensure precision and efficiency.
Before crafting the full-fledged pages of your website, we create Lo-fi designs, also known as wireframes. These serve as a visual guide, reducing the chance of errors and providing a tangible structure for your website.
Once the wireframes are locked in, we bring them to life with a polished, brand-aligned design. This is where your site starts to look and feel like your business.
You’ll get a chance to review and approve before we move forward, ensuring everything meets your standards.
Once approved, we begin CMS production in carefully planned stages. This flexible, hands-on approach allows us to populate and refine your content throughout the process, ensuring it perfectly aligns with your vision and goals.
Before launch, we conduct thorough UAT to ensure your site performs flawlessly across all major browsers. This rigorous testing guarantees a seamless user experience, no matter the platform.

What is Gatsby in web development?
Gatsby, also known as Gatsby JS, is a powerful open-source framework built on React, GraphQL, and Webpack. It empowers developers to effortlessly create stunning static websites by seamlessly sourcing data from content management systems' databases or markdown files. With Gatsby, you can harness the full potential of React while enjoying the benefits of a fast and efficient website-building process.
Is Gatsby good for the web?
Gatsby sites can defer non-critical page generation, resulting in improved load times. With this feature, developers can generate only the most vital pages during the build process. Less frequently visited pages are then rendered dynamically when accessed by site users. This functionality proves particularly advantageous for large and intricate websites.
What is a Gatsby site?
Gatsby, or Gatsby JS, is an open-source framework that revolves around React, JavaScript, GraphQL, and Webpack. Essentially, Gatsby empowers developers to perform static site generation by seamlessly integrating React and sourcing data from databases within content management systems or markdown files.
Is Gatsby better than WordPress?
Although Gatsby is a front-end framework, WordPress is a monolith, providing a front-end solution and allowing you to manage SEO content centrally. Consequently, Gatsby only serves as a partial replacement for WordPress functionality.
Is Gatsby still good in 2025?
Gatsby remains a strong choice in 2025 for building fast, secure, and scalable websites. While there's been significant advancements in this field, Gatsby's core strengths—like its React-based framework and static site generation—make it an excellent fit for companies looking to deliver highly optimised websites.
At Alley, we’ve successfully used Gatsby to build B2B and B2C websites that stand out in competitive industries, including FinTech and commercial security. Its ability to create lightning-fast, SEO-friendly websites has helped our clients achieve exceptional organic growth. By leveraging Gatsby’s capabilities alongside modern tools and best practices, we futureproof our client's websites to drive long-term results.
Is Gatsby frontend or backend?
Gatsby is a frontend framework built on the React library. It's designed to create fast, static, and dynamic websites with flawless user experience. While it handles the frontend, it connects to backend systems like CMSs (Content Management Systems), APIs, or databases to fetch content and data during the build process.
Think of Gatsby as the bridge between your backend data sources and the polished website your audience interacts with.
