Bespoke web development

We love nothing more than tailor-making and crafting a bespoke site from the ground up, working closely with you and keeping your business objectives and specific features and functions in mind.

A bespoke site means it's developed uniquely to your parameters. You're fully involved in the development process and we'll conduct in-depth research to create a strategy and understand exactly what your business and your customers need before we start design and development work. Before we go live, we'll set up your bespoke project on our own dedicated staging servers, so together we can make sure that everything is perfect ahead of launch.

Let Ascensor's experts develop and deliver a bespoke website that we're passionate about - and that you and your clients will love.

Ecommerce web development

We've been building dynamic, customisable Ecommerce websites that sit at the heart of the customer journey since 2007. Ecommerce web development is our specialist subject and, quite simply, Ascensor develop sites that make our clients money.

You need an Ecommerce development partner with a proven track record for delivering results by boosting existing web design or starting from scratch with a site overhaul. With experience of online retail across many sectors, Ascensor Ecommerce solutions scale as your business evolves, nurturing your visitors and supporting your growth.

We develop professional ecommerce websites that appeal to your target audience to improve conversions, lower your bounce rate and boost online sales. Our websites are fast-loading, mobile-friendly, search engine-optimised and can easily connect to shopping portals and third-party systems, including ERP and accounting.

Brochure website creation

Depending on your sector and size, brochure websites can be the best and most cost-effective way of promoting your business and showcasing your products and services. A brochure website is ideal for SMEs who don’t need to make frequent changes to the site and unlike an Ecommerce website, your goods are only displayed, not sold, so customers have to contact you to place an order or book the service. As a key part of our web development services, we've built up years of experience in developing high-quality, professional, affordable brochure websites that showcase who you are and successfully convert visitors into customers.

Booking system development

Our expert team can flawlessly facilitate a booking system tailored to your exact specifications into your new site. We never adopt a 'one size fits all' approach to web development and no matter what type of business you run, we will implement the right booking software solution to meet your unique requirements. We ensure booking tools are fully GDPR compliant.

User login area development

If your site requires a secure login portal, we'll work with you to develop a reliable, secure and user-friendly system that your customers, clients, members or colleagues can access quickly and safely for a personalised experience. From straightforward user-restricted access to resources, all the way through to complex hierarchies of permissions and functional ownership, our specialists will develop the perfect structure for your needs. And, of course, we'll ensure that everything in the back-end is running smoothly and securely.

Database solution development

We've created database applications for a diverse list of clients and know how vital a secure, accurate and well-designed database is for any organisation. We build user-friendly, efficient and reliable database solutions to safely store your user and product information.

Custom website extensions & integrations

Alongside developing a cutting-edge website for your business, our web developer team can also custom integrate third-party systems and extensions to allow all the functionality needed for a smooth client journey. From shopping portals and accounting software to social media, a carefully-curated combination of extensions, APIs and integrations will ensure your website functions exactly how you need it to for optimal user experience and maximum ROI.

WordPress web design & development

Ascensor's WordPress development team have built hundreds of dynamic, easy-to-manage WordPress sites since 2007. From our base in Leeds we use the industry-standard WordPress CMS to create sites that are easy to use, technically first-rate and, importantly, offer outstanding customer experience. We can provide you with successful web design and development, whether you’re an SME or a multi-national enterprise, our developers have built WordPress sites for clients of every size and shape across a huge range of sectors. Let's partner with you!

Shopify Specialists

Ascensor know Shopify inside and out. We'll help you to scale your Ecommerce site with expert design and custom development that's tailored to you and your business goals. Our team can design and develop Shopify websites from scratch, or optimise your existing site to create an Ecommerce platform that looks great and provides exceptional performance and a smooth user experience. We're always on hand to provide ad-hoc support when you need us and are proud to provide tailored online solutions for your Shopify site.

Acquiring the Safestyle Windows brand happened very quickly. Everyone involved had to be agile and reactive, we asked and expected a lot of the incumbent partners and set strict deadlines. Ascensor did not let us down. We’ve been so happy with Ascensor’s service and support that we’ve agreed a contract extension and have been working through other projects with the team.

ASHI Group

Head of Digital Marketing

The level and extensive nature of Ascensor’s expertise is exactly what Sustrans required during the project, and we were not let down at all, the collaborative approach meant that not only did we achieve completion within an aggressive timeframe, but we were left with significantly greater insight and capability to manage our website performance moving forward. A great example of joined up, unified working across both our organisations, very much looking forward to working alongside Ascensor again in the future.

Implementing the new order capture platform that Ascensor created has undoubtedly streamlined our internal processing of orders, enabling faster integration, faster responsive search and most importantly less risk to this business-critical task. Fantastic ideas coupled with great people brings efficient and dynamic innovation even in the world of veg. Amazing work!

The thing Mix and Twist love the most about working with Ascensor is their consistent updates and the super collaborative process. They’re really easy to work with, and it feels like they’re always there when you need them. Since working with Ascensor we’ve seen an increase in quality leads generated from their SEO work, which has been a game changer!

When it comes to CRO these guys really know what they’re talking about! Embracing a data-backed, test-and-learn approach has been a game-changer for us at Radar Healthcare, allowing us to base decisions on user interaction rather than guesswork. Ascensor's hard work is making a noticeable impact, and I'm really excited about the positive direction we're heading in.

We are delighted with our new site and feel it captures and reflects the ethos of 39 Park Square. Communication with the team at Ascensor was good and we’re able to update our site with greater ease thanks to the simplicity of the content management system. Our partnership with Ascensor proved to be an excellent decision, thank you to everyone involved with the project.

Common questions

Why choose Ascensor as your web development agency?

Ascensor is a web development agency that combines technical delivery with digital strategy, design and marketing insight. This helps ensure the website is not only well built, but also aligned with business objectives and lead generation goals. With experience across CMS, ecommerce, integrations and bespoke functionality, Ascensor can support both new builds and complex improvements to existing platforms.

How does a web development agency make a website more scalable?

A web development agency makes a website more scalable by planning flexible templates, reusable components, clean content structures and reliable integrations. Scalability also depends on performance, hosting, security, CMS permissions and how easily new pages or features can be added. Ascensor builds with future change in mind, so websites can grow without needing constant workarounds or rebuilds.

What platforms can a web development agency build on?

A web development agency can build on a range of platforms, including content management systems, ecommerce platforms, Webflow, Craft CMS and bespoke frameworks. The right choice depends on content needs, internal editing requirements, integrations, budget, scalability and future plans. Ascensor recommends platforms based on what the website needs to do, rather than forcing every project into the same technology stack.

How can web development improve SEO and lead generation?

Web development can improve SEO and lead generation by making a website faster, easier to crawl, easier to use and easier to convert from. Technical improvements such as clean code, structured content, mobile performance, schema, stable templates and reliable forms all support search visibility and enquiries. Ascensor connects development decisions with marketing goals, so technical work contributes to measurable performance.

When should a business hire a web development agency?

A business should hire a web development agency when its website needs more than a basic template or simple content update. Common triggers include poor performance, limited CMS flexibility, complex forms, integrations, ecommerce requirements, accessibility issues, security concerns or a platform that can no longer support growth. Ascensor can assess the current setup and recommend the most practical development route.

What does a web development agency do?

A web development agency builds the technical foundations of a website or web platform. This includes front-end development, CMS setup, integrations, performance optimisation, security, hosting considerations and bespoke functionality. Ascensor’s web development work is focused on creating fast, secure and scalable websites that support business growth, whether the project is a brochure site, ecommerce store, CMS build or custom digital platform.
