Why Us
The Problem With Most Websites
Almost all of our clients came to us hating their old websites. They were built on WordPress, plagued by constant plugin failures, required endless updates that crashed their sites, and cost them £400+ per year just in plugin subscriptions. We do things entirely differently at North Star. We write every line of code by hand. Nothing breaks, nothing needs updating, and it runs flawlessly for years.
The WordPress Trap
Expensive Subscriptions: £400+ Per Year. Most agencies use page builders and premium plugins to slap a site together quickly. They pass those recurring software costs onto you...
Constant Maintenance: Plugins need constant updating. One bad update can break your entire site...
The North Star Solution
Bulletproof Reliability: Because we code everything from scratch, there are no databases to corrupt or plugins to go out of date...
Transparent Pricing: Free Hosting Included. We provide free, blazing-fast hosting for the life of your website. Your first year's domain name is included...

What Clients Say
A smooth, touch-friendly, horizontal scrolling carousel built to let the outcomes speak for themselves.
"I was so tired of my old WordPress site breaking every time there was an update. Since switching to North Star 3 years ago, my site hasn't gone down once, and I haven't paid a penny in maintenance. Best decision I've made."
"I used to pay over £500+ a year just for the plugins needed to make my old site function. Now, I literally only pay my yearly domain fee. The free hosting North star provides makes this incredibly worth it."
"The speed difference is night and day. Because they code everything from scratch without builders, our pages load instantly. It looks incredibly professional and has never given us a single headache."
