Do you use templates or WordPress themes?

No. Every site is designed from a blank page and built by hand in plain code. That is what keeps it fast and means it is not locked into a page builder.

How long does a website take?

Most projects run six to twelve weeks from brief to launch, depending on scope. You get a schedule at the start and see the design on your phone before we build.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The code, the content and the domain are yours. If you ever move to someone else, you take all of it with you.

How much does a website cost?

Every project is quoted after a conversation about what it needs to do. We do not publish a price list, because two sites with the same number of pages can be very different jobs.

Can you work with my existing domain and email?

Yes. We point your domain at the new site and keep your email working.

Web design in Malta | made.mt, Valletta studio

Web design in Malta, from a blank page.

made.mt designs and builds websites for businesses in Malta and Gozo. Every page is designed for your business, hand-built in plain code and set up for search from the first wireframe. No templates, no page builder, nothing you cannot take with you.

What you get

A website designed around what your customers need to do: find you, understand what you offer, trust you, and get in touch or buy. We start from those jobs, not from a theme, and design the pages that do them.

Every page is built by hand in HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript. That keeps pages light, which matters on a phone on mobile data, and it means there is no page builder between you and your site. You own the code, the content and the domain.

What is included

Art direction: a visual identity for the web, designed for your business.
Page design for phone and desktop, which you see on your own phone before we build.
Hand-built pages with images sized properly, dimensions set and nothing jumping as the page loads.
Copy written with you from facts about your business. We do not invent reviews, projects or numbers.
Technical SEO: titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, a sitemap, structured data and a clean URL structure.
Enquiry, quote or booking forms that send what you actually need to answer the customer.
Launch on your domain, with Google Search Console set up and your email left working.
Hosting, changes and updates every month after launch, if you want us to look after it.

How a project runs

A brief first: what you do, who you want to reach and what the site has to achieve. Then the design, shown on your phone so you judge it the way your customers will see it. Then the build, with real content and real photographs. Then launch on your domain with Google set up. Most projects take six to twelve weeks from brief to launch, depending on scope, and you get the schedule at the start.

Built to be found

A website that nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer. Search is planned in from the start rather than bolted on later: the page structure follows what people in Malta actually search for, each page has one clear subject, and the technical basics Google documents are in place before launch. We will not promise rankings. Google's own guidance is that no one can guarantee them, and anyone who does is telling you something worth noticing.

Speed is part of the design, not a fix afterwards. Google measures how quickly the main content appears, how fast the page responds to a tap and whether things move while it loads. Hand-built pages with properly sized images do well on all three, which is one reason we do not use page builders.

Beyond a brochure site

Some of the sites in our portfolio are platforms rather than brochures: a directory of every bathroom showroom in Malta and Sicily with a room planner, a healthcare directory with an assistant that answers only from its own records, a charter marketplace that turns a sentence into search filters. When a site needs assistants, automation or data work, our sister studio Verabloc builds that part inside a site designed here.
