Secure by design. Accessible by default. AI-enabled where useful.
Websites and digital services built for trust, performance and growth
Astaria helps public-sector, healthcare and ambitious organisations design better websites, build useful digital services and automate repetitive work with responsibly deployed AI.
Why organisations call us
The problems we are usually asked to solve
If two or more of these sound familiar, the review is the cheapest way to find out how much work is involved.
- The site fails accessibility checks
- You have had a complaint, an audit or an internal flag, and nobody owns the fix list.
- Traffic arrives, enquiries do not
- Visitors cannot tell in ten seconds what you do or what to do next.
- Editing needs a developer
- Every wording change becomes a ticket, so the site quietly goes out of date.
- Staff time goes on repetition
- The same enquiries, forms and reports are handled by hand, every week.
- Search visibility is falling
- Rankings slipped after a redesign, or AI assistants describe you inaccurately.
- Nobody can prove what works
- Analytics exist but no one can say which pages produce enquiries.

What comes with the website
The work that decides whether a site keeps performing after launch.
- Accessibility and inclusive design
- WCAG 2.2 AA as an acceptance criterion, tested with a keyboard and a screen reader.
- Security-conscious build
- Hardened configuration, dependency hygiene and a patching plan from day one.
- Performance
- Measured on mid-range phones and throttled connections, not developer laptops.
- Content and information architecture
- Structure and wording agreed before design, so the build is not guesswork.
- Integration
- Connecting the finance, CRM, clinical or line-of-business systems you already run.
- Support
- Updates, monitoring and a named team, on a fixed and predictable arrangement.

Selected work
Demonstration builds, honestly labelled
We publish client work only with permission and only where we can describe the outcome accurately. Until then, these are builds of our own.

Content placeholder: Add two or three client case studies with named organisations, agreed scope and measured outcomes. Do not publish figures that cannot be evidenced.
Delivery
How a project runs
Five stages, each with something you can see and challenge.
- 01
Review
We assess what exists: accessibility, performance, search, security and content.
- 02
Define
Scope, success measures and constraints written down and agreed before design.
- 03
Build
Delivered in slices, reviewed at 320px through 1440px, tested as we go.
- 04
Launch
Redirects, checks and training, with a measured baseline to compare against.
- 05
Improve
Regular review of what the site produces, and what to change next.
Responsible AI
AI where it removes real work, and nowhere else
We automate high-volume, low-judgement tasks. Judgement stays with people, and the rules are written down before anything is built.
- A person approves anything that spends money or contacts a resident, patient or customer.
- Agents answer from your approved sources and say when they cannot find an answer.
- Every action is logged so a decision can be explained months later.
- We say no to automation when a task is rare, contested or high-judgement.
Website Opportunity Review
A free, written review of your current website
We test your site and send back a prioritised list of fixes covering accessibility, performance, search visibility, security basics and conversion. Yours to act on with or without us.
- Send the address of your site and the one thing you want it to do better.
- We test it against the same standards we build to.
- You receive a written list ordered by effort against impact.
