Websites your team can actually run.

We design and build the site, then hand you the keys. Your staff edit pages without booking a developer, and hosting, security and updates keep running quietly in the background.

  • Fixed quotes, in writing
  • Reply within one business day
  • You own the code, domain and accounts
  • Built to WCAG 2.2 AA

What we do

Four things, wired to one loop.

Most of our work is websites. The rest exists because clients kept asking, and because a site nobody visits is an expensive brochure.

01 · Our specialty

Website creation

Designed and built around what your visitors are actually trying to do. Fast, responsive, accessible, and structured so search engines can read it properly. You get a staging link in the first week.

  • Custom design and development
  • Landing pages and campaign sites
  • Online stores and booking flows
  • Speed, SEO and accessibility built in
02

WordPress & CMS

When your team needs to publish without waiting on a developer, WordPress is usually the right answer. We build custom themes, migrate tired sites, and train your staff to run it. It is open source, so you are never tied to us.

03

Software development

Built by engineers with production experience at scale, and handed over on the same terms as our websites.

  • Web apps and member portals
  • Dashboards and reporting
  • Integrations with tools you already pay for
04

Advertising & growth

Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns, run by the same people who built the page those clicks land on. We count enquiries and sales, never clicks, and you get one plain-language report a week.

Included

30 days of onboarding support after every launch

For a month after handover, anything that confuses your team gets answered the same day, anything that breaks gets fixed at no charge, and small text or image changes are done for you while your staff find their feet. If someone new joins, we run the training again. After the 30 days you can run the site yourselves or move onto a care plan.

Accessibility

Accessible by default, in writing.

Around a quarter of adults live with a disability, and accessibility rules for websites now come with real dates attached in the US and the EU. We treat it as part of the build, never a paid extra.

  • Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, colour contrast and visible focus are part of every build.
  • Existing sites can be audited and repaired without a rebuild, with a re-test after the fixes.
  • Care plans re-check accessibility as content changes, because a site drifts every time someone edits it.

Our baseline

New builds target WCAG 2.2 AA

WCAG 2.2 AA contains everything in WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the version most laws and contracts cite. Building to the newer standard means the version on your quote stays current as rules catch up, at no extra cost to you.

Want the reasoning and what the levels mean? The guide explains it without jargon, including the dates that matter if you sell in the US or the EU.

No surprises

What you get, in writing.

None of this is a premium tier or an upsell. It is how every project runs.

You own all of it

Code, design files, domain and ad accounts are registered in your name. If we part ways you keep everything, and we help with the handover.

Open-source foundations

No private system that only we can maintain. Any competent developer can pick your site up after us. That is deliberate.

Accessible by default

New builds target WCAG 2.2 AA. Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels and colour contrast are part of the build, never a paid extra.

A staging link from week one

You watch the site take shape and comment as we go. No grand reveal at the end that you either love or quietly regret.

Training, handover and 30 days of support

A recorded walkthrough, a short written guide, and a month of free help after launch while your team finds its feet.

Backups, SSL and monitoring

Daily off-site backups, certificates that renew themselves, and uptime monitoring that tells us before it tells your visitors.

Common ground

The pieces we build most often.

  • 001

    Events and calendars

    Listings, registration, ticketing and reminders, with recurring dates that behave themselves.

  • 002

    Job boards

    Paid or free postings, employer submission forms, and listings that expire on their own.

  • 003

    Member areas

    Logins, gated content, tiered access, and directories your team updates without a developer.

  • 004

    Payments and stores

    Card checkout through Stripe, Square or PayPal, for products, downloads, tickets or subscriptions.

  • 005

    Forms that go somewhere

    Enquiries, applications and bookings that land in the right inbox and the right spreadsheet.

  • 006

    Donations and fundraising

    One-off and recurring giving, campaign pages and receipts, wired to the processor you already use.

How it works

Four steps, no mystery.

01

Talk

A free call, about thirty minutes. You leave with a written quote and a date, both fixed.

02

Design

Real designs within days. We revise until it looks unmistakably like you, then lock the scope.

03

Build

Clean code, custom or WordPress. Progress stays visible on a staging link throughout.

04

Hand over

We train your team, transfer every account, and stay on call for 30 days of onboarding support.

Recent work

A look at what we build.

A running store, and two complete concept builds we made to show how we would treat a member organisation. Every one is live and openable right now.

Homepage of the WSAND concept build: a deep green hero for a nutrition professional community, with an upcoming-events panel.

Concept build · Member organisation

A state professional academy

Events with registration, a careers board, member login and a continuing-education library. Built in days, editable by volunteers.

Homepage of the OAND concept build: the same association framework re-branded in navy and serif type for Oregon.

Concept build · Same framework, new brand

The sister academy next door

The same framework re-skinned for a neighbouring state in an afternoon. New palette, new type, the same volunteer-friendly controls.

Product grid on indiabuying.in showing open-box electronics deals with discount badges.

Live store · indiabuying.in

An electronics deals store

Catalogue, card checkout, order tracking and WhatsApp support. "Website designed by GladLoop.com" sits in its footer, and orders go through it daily.

Pricing

You will know the number before we start.

Website projects vary too much for a price list to be honest, so we quote each one properly. What does not vary is how the money works.

Quoting

Fixed quotes, in writing

Every project is priced as a fixed figure after the first call. We do not bill by the hour. If scope changes mid-project we re-quote that change and wait for your approval.

Schedule

Payments across milestones

Usually a deposit to begin, one payment at the halfway demonstration, and the balance at launch.

From $149 / month

Care plans

Hosting, SSL, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, accessibility re-checks and a couple of hours of small changes, billed as one number. Thirty days' notice to cancel, and the site leaves with you.

At cost

Licences passed on

Any third-party plugin or service is shown as its own line at the price we pay. We do not mark those up, and we tell you before adding one.

You will never receive an invoice you have not already approved.

Every figure is agreed in writing before the work behind it begins, and the total only ever moves if you decide to move it.

Worth asking about

$1,000 off for one line in your footer

Add “Website designed by GladLoop” to your footer and we take $1,000 off the project. Word of mouth is how good work reaches us, so we would rather put that money into your build. Keep the credit for the first year; after that it is yours to remove.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

How long does a website take?

A straightforward marketing site takes about two to three weeks once designs are signed off. Stores, membership systems and custom software take longer. Your written quote carries a real date, and if something threatens it you hear from us early.

What does the 30-day onboarding support include?

For a month after launch: same-day answers to any question from your team, free fixes for anything that breaks, small content changes done for you, and a repeat training session if someone new takes over. It ends with a short check-in call where you decide whether to run the site yourselves or move onto a care plan.

WordPress or a custom build, which is right for us?

If your team publishes regularly, manages events, or adds products, WordPress earns its place. If the site is small and mainly needs to feel exceptional, a custom build is lighter and faster. We will tell you which one we think fits on the first call, including when the cheaper answer is the better one.

What accessibility standard do you build to?

New builds target WCAG 2.2 AA, which contains everything in WCAG 2.1 AA, the version most laws and contracts cite. Existing sites can be audited and repaired against the same standard. The plain-language guide explains what that means, and the free check gives you a first look at where your site stands.

Who writes the content?

Usually you, because you know your work better than we do. We give you a clear structure to fill and a CMS that makes adding pages simple. If you would rather hand that over too, we quote it separately so you can see exactly what it costs.

How do you work with clients in other time zones?

Most of the work happens over email and a shared staging link. We hold set overlap hours for live calls and answer anything in writing within one business day.
