Web Design Newport — Why Businesses Choose Hand Coded Websites
If you're looking for a web designer in Newport, you'll find plenty of agencies happy to spin up a WordPress site from a £49 template. We're not one of them. Proper Banging Web Design builds every site by hand — real code, written from scratch, built for speed and built to rank.
Hand coded websites don't carry the baggage of WordPress: no plugins to update, no security vulnerabilities, no slow page loads dragging your Google ranking down. Every line of code does exactly what it needs to do, nothing more. The result? Sub-second load times, 100/100 PageSpeed scores, and a site that actually works for your business.
We're Newport's only specialist Firebase website developer, serving businesses across Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend, Cwmbran, Caerphilly, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny, and Bristol. From a 5-page starter site to a full e-commerce platform, every project is hand coded to order.
Firebase Website Developer UK
Google Firebase isn't just hosting — it's the same infrastructure that powers YouTube, Gmail, and Google itself. As a specialist Firebase website developer, we deploy your site on a globally distributed CDN that serves pages in milliseconds from the nearest Google data centre to your visitor.
That means no shared hosting slowdowns, no server downtime, and no WordPress vulnerability scans keeping you up at night. Firebase gives you 99.99% uptime, native Stripe payment integration, real-time Firestore databases, and Cloud Functions that run server-side logic without a server to manage.
If you want a fast, secure, hand coded website — and you want it built by someone who actually knows what they're doing — you want a Firebase website developer. And there aren't many of us in South Wales.

FAQs.
How much does a website cost in Newport, South Wales?

What's the difference between a hand-coded website and WordPress?
A hand-coded website is written from scratch in HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no plugins, no themes and no page builder. WordPress stacks dozens of plugins that slow the site down and need constant security patching. Hand-coded sites load in under a second, score 100/100 on Google PageSpeed and have zero plugin vulnerabilities. We build on Google Firebase, not WordPress.
How long does it take to build a website?
About a week for a standard hand-coded site. Send us your logo, text and photos and we take it from there — no video calls, no project portals, no Gantt charts. Bigger e-commerce builds take a little longer, but most small business sites go live within days.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes. Full e-commerce with Stripe payments (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay), product management, shopping cart, order tracking, and Xero accounting integration. See our e-commerce web design service.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Newport, South Wales and serve businesses across Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend, Cwmbran, Caerphilly, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny, Bristol, and the wider UK.
What is a hand coded website?
A hand coded website is built entirely from scratch in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no WordPress, no page builders, no templates. Every line of code is written by a developer specifically for your business. Hand coded websites are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain than WordPress sites. They're also fully bespoke, so your site won't look like every other website on the internet.
Why choose a Firebase website developer?
Google Firebase is the hosting infrastructure behind YouTube, Gmail, and millions of high-traffic apps. A Firebase website developer can build you a site that loads in under a second, scales to millions of visitors without crashing, has zero plugin vulnerabilities, and integrates natively with Stripe payments, Firestore databases, and Cloud Functions. It's significantly better than shared WordPress hosting.
How is Proper Banging Web Design different from WordPress agencies in Newport?
Most web agencies in Newport build on WordPress — slow, template-based sites that need constant security patches and plugin updates. We're a specialist hand coded website studio. Every site we build is written from scratch on Google Firebase, giving clients sub-second load times, 100/100 Google PageSpeed scores, and zero ongoing maintenance headaches. We're not a cheaper option — we're a better one.
What are your SEO services in Newport?
Every website includes full SEO from day one: keyword research, technical SEO setup, on-page optimization, structured data, fast load times, and Google Search Console monitoring. Our SEO services ensure your site ranks for profitable keywords like 'web design near me' and 'web designer Newport'.
Can you build a website for tradesmen and contractors?
Yes. We specialise in website design for tradesmen, plumbers, electricians, and service businesses across South Wales. Our sites include image galleries, service listings, booking systems, and local SEO to attract customers searching 'web design near me' and '[trade] in [area]'.
Do you serve clients outside Newport?
We have dedicated city pages for web design in Cardiff, Swansea, Bridgend, Cwmbran, Caerphilly, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny, and Bristol. We serve any business in South Wales and the wider UK with hand coded websites on Google Firebase.
