The website studio of Forty Seven Lab
Websites that feel
designed,
not assembled.
We design, build, host and maintain websites — for businesses, for individuals, and for the personal stories worth keeping.

StoriesBusiness site A company site built for credibility — clear structure, real proof, one obvious next step.
What we build
One studio, from
first sketch to long-term care.
Websites are not a one-off. We design and build them, then host, maintain and improve them long after launch.
Business & company websites
A credible, considered home for what you do — structured so people understand it in seconds.
Landing pages & campaigns
Single-purpose pages built around one audience, one message and one action.
Personal websites
For individuals, practices and independent work that deserves more than a profile page.
Custom website projects
Editorial, interactive or unusual. If the brief doesn't fit a template, that's the interesting part.
Hosting & domains
Set up properly, secured, connected and managed — so you never think about it.
Maintenance & support
Updates, backups, monitoring and content changes, handled quietly in the background.
Built for
The detail
What separates a
designed site from an assembled one.
None of this is visible in a screenshot. All of it is obvious when you use the site.
Type that carries the brand
Scale, spacing and rhythm are set deliberately, so every heading, line and label sits where it should — on a phone as much as a studio monitor.

- Optical spacing
- Custom letter spacing

Story Archives
Some websites are for business.
Some are for keeping.
A Story Archive is a private or personal website built to hold a moment — a wedding, a family history, a journey, a life. It is not a separate service: it is the same studio, the same craft, turned towards something personal.
Private by default. Shared with a link, protected however you prefer.
Two families, one story
The day itself, the photographs, the words that were said — kept together in one private place you can share with a link.
Included & ongoing
Everything a website
needs to stay alive.
Design and build are only half of it. Hosting, security, backups and small changes are what keep a site useful two years from now — so we look after those too.
- Strategy, structure and sitemap
- Art direction and full page design
- Build, testing and content set-up
- Domain and hosting configuration
- Analytics, SEO and structured data
- Launch support and a handover walkthrough
How it works
Live in five
to seven days.
Most websites are designed, built and live within a single week. You always know what is happening, what is next, and what we need from you.
Discover
A short call the week you get in touch. We agree what the site has to do, who it speaks to, and exactly what we need from you.
Day 1Design
Art direction first — one screen that sets the tone — then the full page designs, reviewed and signed off before anything is built.
Days 1–2Build
Hand-built the same week and tested on real devices. Content loaded, motion refined, performance and accessibility checked.
Days 3–5Launch & care
We connect the domain, go live and hand over the keys — then stay on for hosting, maintenance and changes.

want to build.
A short description is enough to begin. We'll reply with honest thoughts on scope, timing and cost — whether or not it turns into a project.
