More Than Normal, by design

Design and development in one project

A website should look distinctive, explain what you do and make it easy to get in touch.

Built around your business
We design and build each website around your business, using no bought-in template. Design and development happen together, so the look of the site and the way it works are decided as one.
What you get
A written scope, an agreed price and the finished website once it is paid for. We explain each decision in plain English and show you the work at clear stages.

Selected work

The Pickle Jar Therapy.

The Pickle Jar Therapy homepage on desktop: the practice name over a night sky, the question “How can we help today?”, and three routes into the site for urgent help, booking an assessment, or asking a question
The same homepage on a phone, with the three routes stacked as full width buttons

A private therapy practice in Canterbury. We built its website in 2025 and rebuilt it in August 2026.

One question, three ways in.

The home page asks “How can we help today?” and offers three routes, which are urgent help, booking an assessment, or asking a question. A visitor in distress can act without decoding a menu.

The brief

A private practice taking its own bookings, in a city with plenty of therapists and directories. Visitors needed a way to tell it apart from the rest, and a calm, clear route to getting in touch.

The design

A night-sky palette and gentle type set the tone. Every service has its own page, the fees are easy to find, and urgent help stays one of the three ways in on every visit.

In the client’s words

“More Than Normal created a clear, welcoming website that truly reflects our values and makes reaching out for support straightforward for our clients. Their structured, thoughtful approach ensured the entire development process was reassuring and clear from start to finish.”

The process

From first conversation to launch

A senior engineer leads your project from the first conversation to launch.

  1. 01

    Talk & agree

    Tell us about your business and what the website needs to do. We confirm your pages, content, features, price and schedule before work begins.

  2. 02

    Design & build

    We develop an agreed design direction, bring the content together and build your website. You review the work at clear stages.

  3. 03

    Launch & hand over

    We test the website and help get it live. Then we either look after it for you or hand over your files and source code for your chosen hosting provider.

Need more than a website?

We also build custom web applications, dashboards and data-driven tools with Next.js, quoted to the project.

FAQs

Questions about our websites

Are these template websites?

No bought-in templates. We design each website around the business, using our own reusable code where appropriate. That keeps the build efficient without making your site look like everyone else’s.

Do you use WordPress?

No. We build with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, often using Astro to generate a static website. For more complex, data-driven applications, we use tools such as Next.js. We don’t build on WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.

Do I have to host with you?

No. Hosting and management is optional. Once the project is paid for, we can supply the built website files, source code and brief deployment instructions. Any third-party licences or service dependencies are explained in your quote and handover.

Will Google and AI assistants find my website?

Every website includes technical SEO basics, a clear page structure and structured data that matches the visible content. Foundation + Content adds researched, search-focused copy. We don’t promise rankings or that AI assistants will mention your business, and ongoing SEO is not part of a one-off build.
