Our Process

How We Build Websites in Portsmouth

A clear, technical process built around shipping clean, performant code on time.

Discovery & Technical Planning

We start by understanding what the site or application needs to do - functional requirements, integrations, content structure, and any technical constraints. The build plan is mapped out before we write a line of code.

Architecture & Setup

We choose the right stack for your project - CMS, framework, hosting - and set up the repository, environments, and tooling. Everything is version-controlled and built on a foundation we can hand off cleanly.

Build & Code Review

Approved designs go to development for a pixel-perfect, performance-optimised build. All code goes through peer review before it touches main - no shortcuts, no untested merges.

QA, Launch & Aftercare

Full cross-browser and device testing, accessibility checks, and performance audits before we go live. Then we stay involved with hosting, monitoring, and improvements - your site is in good hands from day one onward.

What our Portsmouth development clients say

Honest words from the businesses whose code we look after.

Collette Whiting

Owner, Delta-Xero

The end result is a website that feels far more aligned with who we are today as a company - cleaner, more professional, easier to navigate and much stronger from both a branding and customer experience perspective.

Both Brad and Kay went above and beyond in their support for us and ensured that the final version of the website represented exactly the feel we were going for. Thank you so much to both of you for all of your hard work. We could not recommend We are Jungle highly enough!

MRG Effitas

Working with We Are Jungle on the MRG Effitas website was a great experience. From briefing to completion the team was friendly, creative and efficient.

Their consultative approach meant we ended up with a well structured, well optimised website that encourages conversion. As leaders in cybersecurity testing, our site also had to be highly secure.
