Web design studio in Iceland
We design and build bespoke websites and online stores that connect to the systems you already use. Speed, accessibility and SEO are built in from day one.
Work
Every project is written up like a white paper: the challenge, the approach and, where we have them, the results, with sources.
All workSolutionGeneric solution, no named client
An online store that does not talk to the accounting system creates manual work and errors. This is how we build a connection between WooCommerce and DK, Regla or Payday that creates every invoice exactly once, keeps stock right and tells you when something breaks.
In-house projectÍslandsvefir
A website that sells web development is a sample of the work. Ours was half-finished and no longer told the truth about what we do. We rebuilt it from scratch and made the quality requirements part of the build itself.

Integrations
When an order comes in, the invoice should appear in your accounting system and stock levels should update, without anyone copying numbers by hand. We connect WooCommerce and custom-built sites to DK, Regla, Payday and Icelandic payment gateways.
Process
We start with goals. Then we design, build and measure. You always know where the project stands and what happens next.
How we workWhat should the site achieve, for whom, and how will we measure it?
Structure, content and look that you can see and test before we build.
Fast, accessible code, connected to your systems and properly tested.
The site goes live, with redirects from old addresses and working analytics.
We keep watching, measure progress against the goals and improve.
Point of view
A beautiful site nobody finds or uses is an expensive poster. We define what the site has to do before we draw a single line.
A slow site, or one that shuts people out, loses business. That's why performance, accessibility and SEO are part of every build.
Fewer pages, clearer messages and less code. Everything on the site has to earn its place.

A guide to choosing between a bespoke website and a website subscription: when each one fits, what to ask before you sign and how to compare the real cost.
Mostly it comes down to scope: the number of distinct page types and pages, whether it's a store, which systems need connecting and how much content has to be written. After a first conversation you get a written proposal that spells out what's included, so you can compare it fairly with other options.
It depends on scope, integrations and how quickly content and decisions are ready. The proposal includes a phased timeline, so you know when you'll see the design, when the build is done and when the site goes live. As a guide, a subscription website usually goes live in 2–4 weeks, a bespoke website often takes 6–12 weeks, and an online store with an accounting integration often 8–16 weeks.
Yes, it's one of our specialities. We connect WooCommerce and custom sites to Icelandic accounting systems so orders, invoices and stock levels move between them without manual work. We start by mapping which data goes where and what should happen when something fails.
Both. WordPress and WooCommerce work well when a lot of content is updated in-house or when you run a store. For fast marketing sites and specialised solutions we often build from scratch, for example with Astro, a modern framework for fast sites. We recommend whatever suits the project and explain why.
Hosting can be with Gagnaver, which is run by the same company as Íslandsvefir, or anywhere you prefer. We offer maintenance and ongoing improvements, but a maintenance contract is never a condition of handover. We recommend that the domain is registered to you and that you own your content. Rights to the design and code are set out in the contract.
With a short conversation about what you want to achieve. We then go through goals, audience and systems, and send you a written proposal with the approach, timeline and price. If it fits, discovery begins and you get one point of contact who stays with the project to the end.
