Who you're dealing with

You'll deal with me, start to finish

I'm Lewis Maxwell. I design and build every site myself, so there's nobody you've never met touching your project and nothing gets passed down a chain. From the first call to the day you go live — and every year after that — it's me you'll be talking to.

That's the part clients tend to mention afterwards: that nothing was ever too small an ask.

Most agencies sell you a theme with their logo on it.We write the site from scratch instead. It costs us more time and it's the whole reason these sites load quickly, rank, and keep working years later without a pile of plugins to maintain.

How we work

From first call to live

01

A proper chat

Twenty minutes on what your business does, who you're competing with, and what you actually need the site to bring in. No pitch deck, and nothing to choose from a catalogue.

02

Design first, agreed up front

You see the layout and the look before a line of code is written. Where the enquiry buttons go, and what someone should do on each page, gets decided here rather than bolted on later.

03

Built by hand

Written from scratch rather than assembled from plugins, which is why these sites load quickly and keep loading quickly. You watch it go up on a private link and say what you think as it does.

04

Live, then looked after

We handle the launch, the domain and the handover. After that you can keep us on for updates and Google work, or take the keys and run it yourself. You own everything either way.

The company

Part of a business that builds its own software

IQ Web is the web studio arm of Adviser IQ Ltd— the company behind Adviser IQ, a CRM used by 60+ UK mortgage and protection firms. We build and run our own products, which is why we're comfortable building yours, and why we're still here to answer the phone in three years' time.
