Custom Website Case Studies.
Names go on when the client agrees.
Three builds AskMind has done. The business name and website stay off this page until that client agrees to be listed.
Unlike agencies that charge by the hour or builders that rent you a template, AskMind delivers production-ready code you own. See the exact specifications and delivery outcomes from recent builds below.

A trades business
A brochure site for a trades firm that had been working from Checkatrade and word of mouth. The name is withheld.
The Challenge
The client was relying entirely on word-of-mouth and Checkatrade. They needed a branded "home base" to build trust with high-value commercial clients who expect a professional web presence, but they didn't have £5k for an agency build or the time to learn WordPress.
- No existing website
- Limited budget (<£500)
- Needed urgent credibility
The Solution
Code Drop Essentials
A five-page site, hand-coded for a trades business. No theme and no page builder.
Their own hosting
This client hosted the files themselves. Current QuickSites and bespoke plans include AskMind hosting, so a new project is not priced at £0 a month.
The Outcome
An independent maker
A shop of their own, instead of paying marketplace fees on every sale. The name is withheld.
The Challenge
The artist was selling on Etsy but losing 6.5% + listing fees on every sale. They wanted their own site to build a brand, but Shopify's £25/mo + transaction fees felt like another tax on their creativity.
- High platform fees
- No design flexibility
- Brand diluted by marketplace
The Solution
Stripe Integration
Direct integration means paying only the standard card fee (~1.5%) and nothing else.
Custom Gallery Grid
A bespoke masonry layout that highlights the art, not the template.
The Outcome
A professional services firm
A move off a WordPress site that had been hacked. The firm’s name is withheld.
The Challenge
The firm had a WordPress site that was constantly needing plugin updates. They eventually got hacked, losing 3 days of business. They wanted a "set it and forget it" solution that was enterprise-grade secure.
- Security vulnerabilities
- Slow loading times (4s+)
- Constant maintenance
The Solution
Static Security
We moved them to a static HTML/React build. There is no database to hack and no login page to brute-force.
AI Monitoring
Iris AI monitors their uptime and form submissions 24/7, alerting us instantly to any issues.
