Built for startups
Website design for startups
A first website that tells people what you do in one look, and is ready to grow as you do. Designed and built from scratch, and yours to change as the idea changes.

What a startup site needs
Less than you'd think, done properly. Six things matter on day one.
Clear in one look
What you do and who it's for, said at the top of the page in plain words. A visitor should know in seconds whether you're for them.
A brand, if you need one
No logo yet? We can make your brand with you alongside the site: a logo, colours and type that are yours.
Room to grow
Start with a few pages. The site is set up so new pages and sections can be added as you grow, without starting again.
Yours to change
Your idea will change. Edit the words and pictures yourself, from an email invite, with one page of instructions.
Built to be found
Titles, descriptions and structured data set up so search engines understand what you do from the first day.
Fast on every phone
Hand-built, so it loads quickly wherever people find you: a link in a pitch deck, a post or a search.
From our work
A grill restaurant, open for bookings.
One of the sites we've designed and built: what it serves, where it is and how to book a table, all said at the top of the first page. That's the job of a first site.



Launch with what you need now
You don't need twenty pages to start. A clear home page, what you offer, who you are and a way to get in touch is often enough.
Most sites take two to nine weeks, depending on their size, and the price is set after the first call, before any work starts. Add more pages when you need them.
Need a name to stand behind? Our branding and logo work can run alongside the website design, so the two launch together.
Sketch your first site
Tick the pages you think you need. It's a starting point for the call, not a form: nothing is sent.

Five steps to launch.
You'll always know which step we're on, and what we need from you.
- 01
A call
We ask about the business and what the site needs to do. You don't need to prepare anything.
- 02
More detail, if needed
Sometimes a short form follows the call. Plenty of projects skip it.
- 03
Your logo and photos
Send what you have. We can do your branding if you don't have one.
- 04
Design, then build
You see the first page designed before we build the rest, so nothing big changes late.
- 05
Live
It goes live on your domain, with one page of instructions and an email invite to edit it.
Questions people ask.
Anything else? hello@darbcreative.com. We reply within one working day.
Can we start small and add pages later?
Yes. Start with what you need now. The site is set up so you can add pages and sections as you grow.
Can you do our branding too?
Yes. If you don't have a logo yet, we can make your brand with you. See branding and logo design.
How fast can our website be ready?
Usually two to nine weeks, depending on the size of the website.
Is the site mine?
Yes, the site is yours. We can host it and look after it for you, or you can host and look after it yourself.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on how many pages you need and what you already have. After the call we give you one clear price, before any work starts.
