Our speciality
Website development and management specialists
Websites are what we do most. We design and build them, and we look after them once they’re live — hosting, updates, security, backups and search — so you have one local partner for the whole life of your site rather than a handover and a shrug.
We build on Astro, the modern framework behind fast, secure, search-ready websites — and we work with WordPress too, supporting and managing existing WordPress sites, or migrating them across to Astro when that’s the right move for the business.
Kind words
What our clients say
“Working with Lighthouse IT to redesign and redevelop our website was an incredibly smooth and positive experience, especially thanks to Ron. From the start, Ron was easy to communicate with, always professional yet approachable. He consistently checked in with friendly reminders if we hadn’t responded, which helped keep the project moving without ever feeling pushy. What stood out most was his attentiveness and genuine interest in our feedback. Every change we requested, no matter how minor, was handled quickly and without hesitation. There was never any pressure to accept something we weren’t fully happy with, which made a huge difference. Ron created an environment where we felt comfortable being honest about what we liked and didn’t like, and that openness led to a final product we’re truly proud of. I’d highly recommend Ron and the team to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsive, and collaborative web development experience.”
