A focused marketing site typically runs over 6 to 8 weeks. Multi-integration builds or custom applications run over 10 to 12 weeks. More complex projects are scoped individually. We map this out clearly in the discovery call, no vague estimates, no surprise extensions.

A site that ‘works’ and a site that performs are two different things. If yours is slow to load, difficult for your team to update, or struggling to integrate with other platforms, it’s already limiting your growth. We can help.

Sometimes, yes. If your existing website already has a solid CMS structure and usable content, we can often improve the front-end experience without rebuilding everything from scratch. That might include performance improvements, design refinements, SEO upgrades, or better integrations with external systems. That said, if the foundations are limiting growth, or the content simply isn’t doing the business justice, we’ll usually recommend rebuilding properly rather than polishing problems. Politely, of course.

In most cases, yes. We regularly integrate OpenTable, DesignMyNight, Zonal, ResDiary, Tribepad, Harri, Mailchimp, Atreemo, Zapier, and Google APIs. Custom integrations are also possible.

Yes, that’s a core part of how we build. A headless CMS means your team can update content without touching code. We design the editing experience alongside the site, not as a footnote.

Every build is optimised for Lighthouse performance and Core Web Vitals, lean front-end architecture and lazy loading are standard. Faster sites rank better, retain visitors longer, and convert more of the traffic you’re already paying to attract. Including the traffic that now starts with an AI search rather than a Google one.

Hospitality does dominate SAINT’s portfolio, but we build websites and digital platforms for all kinds of businesses. Alongside hospitality groups, we’ve worked with multi-site care home estates, construction companies, premium recruiters, investment banks, investors, and dance studios, from focused one-page websites to large multi-location platforms. Good digital infrastructure matters regardless of industry.

We generally favour WordPress. It’s still one of the most widely used CMS platforms globally, with a huge ecosystem of plugins, integrations, and developer support. For larger or more performance-focused builds, we also work with headless CMS setups where WordPress acts purely as the content layer while the front-end runs separately for improved speed, flexibility, and scalability. Ultimately, we choose the setup that best fits the project rather than forcing every build into the same stack.

A headless CMS separates the content management system from the front-end website. In practical terms, that means faster load times, better performance, improved security, and significantly more flexibility when integrating with third-party platforms or apps. It also makes future development easier. Your website, app, ordering system, kiosk, or digital menu can all pull from the same central content source rather than duplicating information across multiple systems. For businesses investing in long-term digital infrastructure, it’s often the more scalable approach.

Absolutely. For modern headless builds we typically favour Vercel for hosting and deployment. For more traditional server infrastructure we regularly work with Hetzner. We also help with migrations, DNS changes, redirects, SSL setup, ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and performance optimisation. In short, we can handle the technical side end-to-end if needed.

Yes, and in many cases WordPress migrations are a big part of what we do. Depending on the project, we can either improve and modernise your existing WordPress setup or migrate the content into a faster headless architecture while keeping WordPress as the CMS. We handle content migration, redirects, SEO preservation, media transfer, and platform integrations carefully to minimise disruption and protect existing search visibility. The goal isn’t just moving platforms. It’s improving performance, flexibility, and maintainability at the same time.

Yes. Website performance is a confirmed ranking factor for Google, particularly through Core Web Vitals and overall page experience metrics. Faster websites are easier for search engines to crawl, provide a better user experience, reduce bounce rates, and generally convert more visitors once they arrive. Performance also matters increasingly in AI-powered search experiences, where structured content, fast load times, and technically clean websites are easier for systems like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity to interpret and reference. In simple terms: faster websites tend to perform better across search, engagement, and conversion.
