UK web design for US businesses
A transatlantic website build with the working rules written down
Scope the project in USD, agree the live working window in UTC, assign every US-market requirement to an owner, and keep the code and accounts under your control.
Turing Websites accepts US project briefs and publishes market-set USD floors from $4,500. The scope records target states and customers, billing terms, working-hour overlap, data flows, accessibility checks and account ownership. Delivery is assessed against the published acceptance sheet, while the linked SaaS example remains labelled as owned demonstration work.
What a UK-to-US website project has to define
- Name the US states, customer groups, language choices and commercial actions in scope.
- Record the billing currency, payment milestones, third-party fees and tax owner.
- Set recurring meetings in local time and UTC, including daylight-saving changes.
- Map form fields, analytics events, vendors, storage regions, access and retention.
- Choose the accessibility and legal reviews that apply, with named approval owners.
- Keep the domain, code, content, analytics and vendor accounts under client control.
Then this page is for you. Here’s how we’d fix it.
One audience and claims register
The brief names the states and customer groups the site serves, the English variant and terminology to use, and the owner who approves product, price, result, review and regulatory claims. A source and review date sit beside every claim that needs evidence.
A schedule that survives clock changes
The delivery plan records live sessions in both local time and UTC, names the decision-makers and gives asynchronous decisions a response window. Eastern teams usually have a morning window with the UK afternoon; Central, Mountain and Pacific teams need progressively more written handover. The plan is checked again when US and UK daylight-saving dates diverge.
Applicability before compliance copy
US requirements vary by organisation, state, customer and data practice. The build therefore uses an applicability register instead of a blanket compliance badge. The client's appointed legal owner decides what applies; the release evidence shows which content, controls and tests were implemented against that decision.
Client-controlled systems and exit
The client owns the domain, repository, content, analytics properties and third-party accounts. Handover records administrators, billing owners, recovery routes, data exports and recurring renewals so another team can operate the site without recreating the access map.
The transatlantic website build specification
A UK supplier changes the operating model, not the definition of done. Six controls make the cross-border parts inspectable.
Define the US market
List the states, customer types, products, currencies and actions the site serves. Record the approved US spelling, terminology and source for every commercial claim that could vary by market.
Normalise the commercial terms
State the project amount, billing currency, payment method, milestones, third-party charges, taxes, exchange exposure and change-control rule as separate lines in the quote.
Write the overlap contract
Name the recurring live window in local time and UTC, the people who can approve work, the response target for asynchronous questions and the decision log used between calls.
Map the data path
Give every form field and analytics event a purpose, destination, vendor, storage region, access role and retention owner. Check whether any UK, EEA or US transfer rule enters that path.
Set the accessibility evidence
Choose the applicable legal review and technical target. Test keyboard use, focus, zoom, headings, form labels, error recovery and representative assistive technology rather than relying on an automated score alone.
Prove ownership and recovery
Put the repository, domain, analytics and production accounts in the client's control, then test administrator access, credential recovery, data export, rollback and supplier exit before sign-off.

Each row names a deliverable and the evidence required before it can be marked complete.

US and cross-border source guide
Start with the organisation, audience and data flow. The named client owner decides which rules apply before the build turns them into acceptance checks.
The organisation is a state or local body or a business open to the public in the US
- California Consumer Privacy Act guidanceCalifornia Attorney General
The business, audience or personal-data thresholds could bring California requirements into scope
- Consumer reviews and testimonials rule guidanceFederal Trade Commission
The site publishes customer reviews, testimonials, incentives or review-platform claims
UK personal information moves to a US client, vendor, platform or support team
The project needs a current, testable technical accessibility target
The sources identify possible duties and technical standards. The client's appointed owners confirm applicability, policy wording and release approval.

Questions, answered
How does the time difference work from the UK?+
Eastern teams usually have a live morning window with the UK afternoon. Central, Mountain and Pacific teams use progressively more asynchronous review. The project schedule records both local time and UTC, then checks the weeks when US and UK daylight-saving dates differ.
What does a US website project cost?+
The current market-set USD floors are $4,500 for Launchpad, $9,500 for Growth and $16,000 for Full Stack. They are not live conversions from GBP. The quote names the billing currency, payment method, third-party charges, taxes, milestones, exclusions and continuing costs before work starts.
Will the site be ADA, CCPA or GDPR compliant?+
That cannot be determined from the country alone. It depends on the organisation, audience, states, data flows and legal advice. Your appointed owner confirms what applies. We turn that decision into content, control and test requirements, then hand over the implementation evidence without making a blanket legal claim.
Do we own everything?+
Yes. The agreed repository, content, domain, analytics properties and third-party accounts are registered to or transferred to the client. Handover verifies administrator access, recovery, exports, billing ownership and the supplier-removal path.
Can you show a verified US client case study?+
Not on this page today. The linked SaaS work is an owned demonstration, not a US client result. We publish that limitation instead of borrowing a logo or testimonial, and use the acceptance sheet to show the delivery controls available for inspection before a brief.
