Speed is a feature
Every second a page takes to load costs visitors. We build for fast first, every time.
About HUGways
We build websites with care, and stay to look after them
HUGways started with a simple frustration: small businesses deserve websites that are fast, safe and easy to update — without having to become web developers themselves.
Our story
Two kinds of website, and neither was right
Again and again we saw clients choose between two imperfect options. Do-it-yourself builders were easy to edit but slow, generic and hard to grow out of. Custom-built sites were fast and beautiful but needed a developer for every typo.
So we built a third way. We design and build each site properly, as fast static pages on world-class infrastructure. Then we hand the owners a calm editor for the everyday work, and stay on call for everything else.
Our logo says it plainly: open hands holding a flame. Your website is part of how your business shows up in the world. We treat it that way.
What we believe
How we work
People over tickets
You talk to the developers who built your site, not a queue.
Honest by default
We only sell what's built. Roadmap items are labelled as roadmap items.
Less to go wrong
Fewer moving parts means fewer surprises. Static sites have very few.
Who we work with

Menus, opening hours, specials and events that change every week.
