Our Services

To keep things simple, our services include everything you need to evolve your digital environment, now and into the future.

Digital Strategy & Guidance

Website Design

We believe that your website is the heart of your organisation's growth. It's where potential customers or donors will learn about you, your purpose, and make a decision whether to engage.

We combine strategic design principles with visual design excellence, building websites that champion your brand, support user needs and get results.

This service typically include: User Experience Design, Website Sitemaps, Website Wireframes and Visual Design.

Website Development

From complex integrations, to lightning fast, responsive websites – We know web development inside out. For us, being a web development agency isn't just building a website, it's about offering helpful digital solutions to your organisation's challenges.

Data entry taking up your team's hours? There's a solution for that. Need automations to your CRM, we've done that too.

By learning what holds you back, we can smooth out the bumps in the road, allowing you to spend more time doing what you care about, while ensuring your website—whether built on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, or Shopify—is future-proof and scalable to meet your needs now and in the future.

Sustainable / Low-Carbon Websites

The internet has a massive carbon foot print, and today's website's can help change this.
As a purpose focused web agency in Cornwall, we take responsibility for the environmental impact of your website – using sustainable web development best practices that not only minimise website carbon, but deliver an exceptionally fast website in the process.

We can't change the world overnight, but we can try our absolute best to bring a fairer and greener one into reality, one website at a time.

E-Commerce & Shopify Websites

Shopify is one of our top choices for e-commerce websites, due to its simplicity and scalability. As experienced Shopify designer and developers, we know how to harness the platform's features to create a digital experience that keeps customers coming back for more.

From brand driven home pages to app integrations and after purchase marketing, we've got your e-commerce needs covered.

If Shopify isn't your thing, we work with Woocommerce for WordPress too.

Search Engine Optimisation

For us, SEO isn't a bolt-on extra, but a core part of your website's design and strategy. With "66% of web traffic referrals coming from Google"*, we ensure your new website meets the needs of people and search engines.

At Papaya, we partner with SEO experts and bring user search strategy into every element of your website project from the start – Building websites that help potential customers to find you first.

WordPress Websites

As a Cornwall WordPress agency we harness the power of the world's most popular content management system to create user-friendly, search-optimised websites that are easy for you to edit.
Off-the-shelf templates have created a reputation for WordPress as being clunky, slow, and difficult to manage. So we don't use them.

We create custom WordPress websites tailored to your needs. When built correctly, WordPress provides endless customisation options and flexibility, allowing us to develop a website that represents your brand and can scale to meet the most demanding organisational challenges.

Webflow Websites

SquareSpace Websites

For an visually impressive, easy-to-manage website that won't cost the earth, Squarespace is the perfect choice. We can create custom Squarespace site's to reflects your brand's unique style and message.

With its built-in templates and styling options, we can create a sleek website to rival your competitors, at much lower costs. With features like online stores, blogging capabilities, and integrated analytics, it's a great all-in-one starter platform.

Website Support

Your website is like a living organism that needs regular care and maintenance to function at its best. We offer ongoing support services to ensure your site is always up-to-date, secure, and running smoothly.

From content updates to bug fixes, we take care of everything so you can focus on the important stuff. Website gone down? Having trouble updating a page? We're only an email away.

As your organisation's digital partner, we're offer cost effective retainers, or ad-hoc support. Whatever you need – we've got you.

I have worked with Nathan and the Papaya team for several years and have always had great results; innovative and intuitive design, plus a 'can-do' attitude when faced with my various quirky requests. I cannot recommend the Papaya team highly enough.

We've had a really positive experience working with Nathan at Papaya studios. I would highly recommend anyone who's looking for a professional, efficient and personal web development service, to get in touch. Nathan showed a real interest in trying to understand our business before tailoring his work towards improving our website and user experience for our own customers. Very much looking forward to continuing our work together. Thanks Nathan!

I would recommend Papaya Studio to any business looking for a new website. Really great company to work with. Nathan's knowledge and advice I found extremely helpful across every step of the process. He had our business front of mind at all times and genuinely cares about the outcome, producing a top quality website and advising on SEO aspects to help us drive traffic and grow the business. 100% recommend.

Nathan and the Papaya team have done a great job on our new website. The personal level of care they showed at the beginning in taking the time to understand the essence of our business was the foundation in creating a final product we are very happy with. It was a daunting process when we started but Nathan has a very structured approach and was able to break it down into manageable mini-projects. He was responsive throughout and has created a suite of 'how to' videos to help us to make quick updates. The contact forms on the new website are helping to boost self-generated enquiries which reduces our reliance on using paid services. Highly recommended.

Web design in Cornwall FAQs

Project questions, answered

Here, you'll find answers to help you understand the project process, from initial consultation to final delivery, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

How much does a website cost?

Website pricing can vary massively based on the complexity and requirements of each project.
Our approach is to suggest a path forward that aligns your goals with your budget. From experience, sending out a detailed project proposal without first discussing the budget benefits no one.

We believe a transparent conversation about your project budget is always the best approach. So during our initial conversation, we will inquire about your objectives, timeline, and allocated marketing budget for the project.

We are happy to provide ballpark figure costs for your project early on, ensuring you have a clear understanding of potential investment from the get-go. Transparency is key to our process, and we believe that giving you a solid estimate helps establish trust and sets the groundwork for a successful collaboration.

Alongside preliminary estimates, we offer project options tailored to different needs and budgets. Whether you're looking for a fully customised solution or more standard web design packages, our goal is to align our services with your vision and resources.

What if my budget is limited?

Do you offer flexible payment options?

Yep! Typically project payments are split into 3, an initial deposit and 2 instalment payments at key project milestones (Design sign off, Development completion).

On more complex projects where there are several project stages (e.g. research, user interviews, content writing, visual design etc) a payment is made at the end of each stage. This could be between 3-8 individual instalments over a number of months.
What ever the scale of your project, we're happy to discuss payment options that work best for you. We understand that every business has different financial needs and constraints, and we want to make sure our services are accessible to all.

How long does it take to build a website?

How will an investment in web design benefit my business?

Investing in quality web design can have numerous benefits for your business. It can improve your online presence, increase brand credibility, attract more customers, and ultimately lead to higher conversions and sales.

A well-designed website can also save you time and money by automating processes and providing a platform for customer self-service.
Furthermore, in today's digital world, a professional website is almost expected from businesses of all sizes. Without one, you may be missing out on potential customers and hindering the growth.

What happens after my website is launched?

Our commitment to our clients doesn't end with just launching their websites. We offer ongoing support and maintenance plans to ensure that your website continues to run smoothly and effectively. Our team will also provide regular updates and improvements based on feedback or changes in your business needs.

Moreover, we believe in building strong relationships with our clients and are always available for any questions or concerns that may arise. Our goal is to see your business succeed and we will continue to support you every step of the way.

So, by investing in web design services, you are not just getting a one-time product but a long-term partnership dedicated to helping your business thrive.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Do you offer website hosting and support?

Will my website be found by Google?

In every project we implement SEO best practices to ensure your website is ready for search engines, improving its visibility on Google and Bing. This ensures people can find your website when searching for you business directly.

However, for competitive keywords that other organisation are also fighting to rank for, you will likely need to invest in a comprehensive search engine optimisation strategy.

If driving organic traffic to your website is a priority for you, we'll discuss this during our intial conversation about your project goals.

We're more than happy to help with SEO.

Do you work with WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and SquareSpace?

Yes - We love them all (but still some more than others).

Although most of our client's projects are built on WordPress due to it's immense flexibility, we work with most of the industry leading web builder platforms - this includes WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace and Shopify.

Although we are a Cornwall WordPress agency, we understand the importance of using a web builder that fits you and your team. In our initial discussions, we will explore the platforms you currently use and your project's goals.

Based on this, we'll recommend the best website platform for your organisation, both for today and the future.
