Direct 1:1 collaboration
You work with the person designing and building the site, from the first conversation through to launch.
Websites built to help your business grow.
Emberzo designs and develops modern websites and Shopify stores for small businesses that need a stronger online presence and more enquiries, bookings or sales.
Why businesses choose Emberzo
Straightforward web development, without the agency layers.
You work with one person, see progress every week, and agree the scope and price before development starts.
Weekly progress demos
Regular walkthroughs so you can see what is being built and agree the next steps with confidence.
Clear scope before development
We agree what is included, the price, and the expected timeline before development begins.
Isle of Wight, UK
A small UK studio based on the Isle of Wight, working with local businesses and clients further afield.
Services
Websites, Shopify, and improvements to what you already have.
Three clear services for small businesses that need a stronger online presence.
Modern, responsive websites for small businesses that need a professional online presence and a clear way for customers to get in touch.
- A site that explains what you do in plain English
- Comfortable to use on a phone
- Built to generate enquiries, bookings or sales
Shopify stores, customisation and development for businesses selling online, from a new storefront to improvements on a shop you already run.
- A store that is easier for customers to browse and buy from
- Theme customisation that fits the brand
- Help with catalogues, merchandising and day-to-day store setup
Improve an existing website’s design, mobile experience, performance, usability or conversion, without starting from scratch unless that is the better option.
- A clearer first impression on a phone
- Easier paths to enquire, book or buy
- Practical improvements rather than a full rebuild if the current site can be saved

Why Emberzo
A professional service, kept small on purpose.
Personal service
No account managers and no hand-offs. You speak to the person doing the work.
Built for the way customers enquire
Sites are structured so visitors can understand the business quickly and get in touch without friction.
Modern, mobile-first websites
Layouts that are comfortable on a phone, readable on a desktop, and straightforward to keep up to date.
Bespoke to your business
The structure, content and design are planned around your services, customers and goals, not a generic template.
Performance and usability
Fast pages, clear headings and forms that are easy to complete matter more than visual tricks.
Honest about the work
Client projects, demos and community work are labelled clearly, so you can see what is real client delivery.
Process
How a project works.
Project timelines depend on the scope and complexity of the work. We'll agree the expected timeline before development begins.
01
Discuss
Tell us what you need, who the site is for, and any existing website, branding or content you already have.
02
Plan
We agree the scope, price and expected timeline before development begins, so there are no surprises later.
03
Design
The layout, content structure and look of the site are worked out around your services and how customers should get in touch.
04
Build
The site is developed with regular check-ins, so you can review progress and request adjustments as we go.
05
Launch
We go live once you are happy. Ongoing hosting and maintenance can continue after launch if you want help keeping the site in good shape.
Pricing
There is no one-size-fits-all website price. A small brochure site, a Shopify store and a redesign of an existing site are different pieces of work, so each project is quoted individually.
Quoted around your project
Get in touch with a short outline of what you need and we will come back with a clear quote.
Hosting and maintenance
Need help after launch? Emberzo can provide ongoing website support and maintenance.
Once the site is live, Emberzo can look after hosting and ongoing maintenance if you would rather not manage that yourself. What is included is agreed for each project, rather than as a fixed package.
