Business websites
A new website built around your business, customers, services and commercial objectives. This may include the complete process from architecture and design through development, CMS and launch.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Websites built
around your
business, not
around a template.
MiBanana plans, designs and develops professional websites for businesses that need more than a new coat of paint.
We bring strategy, content structure, design, development, search foundations and performance together so the website supports what the business actually needs to achieve.
WHAT SHOULD A BUSINESS WEBSITE ACTUALLY DO?
Looking professional is only the beginning.
A good website should help people quickly understand:
- who you are
- what you offer
- why they should consider you
- how you are different
- what they should do next
It also needs to work properly behind the scenes.
That means considering performance, mobile experience, accessibility, search visibility, content management, analytics and future growth, not simply choosing colours and building pages.
WHAT WE BUILD
Professional websites for different stages of growth.
Website redesigns
For businesses whose current site no longer reflects the company, performs poorly or makes important information difficult to find. A redesign is an opportunity to improve more than appearance.
Explore Website RedesignWebsite performance
For sites affected by slow loading, excessive scripts, heavy page builders, oversized media or other technical problems. We assess whether optimisation or a wider rebuild is the most sensible approach.
Explore Website PerformanceWebsite migrations
Changing technology or CMS can affect URLs, content, analytics, forms and search visibility. We plan the migration around what needs to be preserved, not just what needs to be rebuilt.
Explore Website MigrationWordPress to Astro
For suitable businesses that want to move away from their existing WordPress architecture while retaining an effective content-editing experience. We do not recommend this migration automatically. The business case needs to make sense.

Campaign and conversion-focused pages can be created as part of a wider website or growth project.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
One connected website process.
The exact scope depends on the project, but a MiBanana website can include:
Discovery
Understanding the company, customers, objectives, competition and existing website.
Strategy
Defining what the website needs to accomplish and how users should move through it.
Information architecture
Planning the sitemap, navigation, page hierarchy, content and internal linking.
UX/UI design
Designing responsive interfaces around actual content and user journeys.
Development
Building the approved system using modern web technology appropriate to the project.
Content management
Providing a structured CMS so normal website content can be updated without changing source code.
Accessibility
Considering semantics, keyboard use, contrast, forms, content and interaction patterns throughout design and development.
Technical SEO foundations
Building search-friendly architecture, metadata handling, internal linking, structured information and related technical foundations into the website.
Performance
Making performance-conscious decisions around architecture, scripts, images, fonts and third-party services.
Forms and conversions
Implementing the contact, enquiry or conversion mechanisms agreed within the project scope.
Analytics
Setting up agreed analytics and important conversion events where included.
Deployment
Configuring and launching the production website.
Training and handover
Showing the client how to manage the website and completing the agreed infrastructure handover.
EDIT YOUR WEBSITE WITHOUT EDITING CODE
Modern development should not mean losing control of your content.
“Will I need a developer every time I want to change something?”No.
No.
MiBanana websites can include a structured editing interface for everyday content. For normal Astro business websites, TinaCMS is our default implementation where it fits the project.
- Page text
- Calls to action
- Case studies
- SEO titles and descriptions
- Images
- Insights and articles
- FAQs
- Selected page sections
The design system and technical components remain protected. That gives your team flexibility without exposing the parts of the website that are easy to break accidentally.
YOUR WEBSITE. YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
We do not believe unnecessary lock-in should be part of web development.
MiBanana’s preferred project structure can place important client infrastructure under accounts controlled by the client.
- GitHub repository
- Cloudflare account
- CMS
- Domain
- DNS
- Project-specific data
- Relevant third-party services
MiBanana receives the access required to build and maintain the site. If you continue working with us after launch, we can remain involved. If you decide not to, your website does not suddenly stop belonging to you.
PERFORMANCE
Performance starts with architecture.
Website speed is influenced by much more than hosting. Images, JavaScript, fonts, third-party tools, page builders, integrations and frontend architecture can all affect the experience.
We consider these factors while the website is being planned and built rather than relying on a final optimisation plugin to solve everything afterwards.
For an existing slow website, we can also assess whether targeted optimisation or a wider rebuild makes more commercial sense.
Explore Website PerformanceSEARCH FOUNDATIONS
SEO should not begin the day after the website launches.
Website architecture affects search.
- Page hierarchy
- URLs
- Internal links
- Metadata
- Content structure
- Structured data
- Redirects
- International architecture
- Performance
- Accessibility
MiBanana considers these elements during the build. That does not mean every website project automatically includes an ongoing SEO campaign. It means the new website should not create avoidable search problems that need to be repaired afterwards.
Explore SEO and AI SearchACCESSIBILITY
Better websites should work for more people.
Accessibility affects both design and development.
- Semantic page structure
- Focus behaviour
- Form labelling
- Responsive behaviour
- Keyboard navigation
- Colour contrast
- Alternative text
- Clear interaction patterns
Accessibility is part of the quality of the build rather than an optional visual add-on.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology should fit the website, not the other way around.
MiBanana specialises in Astro and modern content-focused website development. For the right project, Astro can give us a strong foundation for a fast, maintainable and flexible business website.
But we will not recommend Astro simply because we use it. The existing systems, required integrations, editorial workflow, functionality, migration cost and long-term needs all matter.
Sometimes the right recommendation is to keep part of an existing system. Sometimes it is to migrate. Sometimes a different architecture is better. The technology decision should follow the business requirement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Straightforward answers about our web development service.
Custom website projects typically start from €2,500.
The final cost depends on the project rather than simply the number of pages.
A five-page website with several unique layouts, integrations and custom functionality can require considerably more work than a much larger content site using a small number of established templates.
We therefore price around the actual scope: strategy, unique page types, design requirements, content, CMS, integrations, migration, languages and functionality.
That depends on scope, how quickly content and feedback are available, and whether the project includes migration or complex integrations.
A clear timeline is established as part of the approved project scope.
Yes, where a CMS is included.
Our standard approach keeps normal website content editable without requiring you to change source code.
For normal Astro business websites, TinaCMS is our default CMS where it fits the project.
Content strategy and content structure are part of the website process.
Full copywriting can also be included where agreed.
If copywriting is not part of the scope, the client supplies the required business information and core content.
Yes.
Migration can include content, URLs, metadata, images, redirects, analytics and other elements depending on the existing site.
Large or complex migrations are scoped separately.
Existing search visibility needs to be considered before URLs or content are changed.
We review relevant architecture, content, metadata and redirects as part of migration planning.
No responsible provider can guarantee that rankings will never change, but avoidable migration errors can be planned for and reduced.
Our preferred delivery model gives the client control of their client-specific website infrastructure and content after the agreed payment and handover requirements are completed.
MiBanana retains its pre-existing internal tools, reusable systems, master templates and production technology.
Not necessarily from MiBanana.
We can provide MiBanana Care if you want us to manage technical continuity, monitoring, updates and routine support.
Growth work such as SEO, new landing pages, redesigns, new functionality and automation is scoped separately.
Because the project-specific infrastructure can remain under your control, continuing with MiBanana does not need to be a condition for keeping your website online.
No.
Astro is an important MiBanana specialism and is particularly useful for many of the content-focused websites we build.
But the project requirements come first.
Yes.
Multilingual architecture should ideally be planned from the beginning so URLs, content, metadata, navigation and international search signals can expand cleanly.
Localization itself can form part of the project or a later phase.
