Web Design services

A website is not a brochure; it is a salesperson that works around the clock. Most web design in Manchester is judged on how it looks in the pitch deck. We judge ours on what it does after launch: how fast it loads, where it ranks, and how many enquiries it sends you. If a design decision doesn’t serve one of those, it doesn’t make the build.

Every site we ship is built SEO-first (clean structure, quick on a phone, ready for Google from day one), because a beautiful site nobody finds is an expensive screensaver. When we rebuilt the site for a pain management clinic, the redesign became the platform for an 818% increase in organic traffic. Design and search are not separate jobs; they are the same job done properly.

We’ll tell you honestly what your project involves and how long it will take: brochure sites typically launch in 4–6 weeks, ecommerce in 8–12. Once it’s live, our SEO team can make sure people actually find it, and if you’re running ads, we build landing pages that stop wasting your clicks.

What you get

How we work

  1. 01

    Scope

    We work out what the site is for, who it serves, and what it needs to do, before anyone opens a design tool.

  2. 02

    Design

    Structure and design built around your customers’ decisions, with real copy: no lorem ipsum guesswork.

  3. 03

    Build

    Fast, SEO-ready development on the right platform for the job, tested on real devices.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Redirects mapped, tracking wired in, rankings protected. Launch day should be boring, and ours are.

  5. 05

    Measure

    We watch what visitors actually do and tune the site to convert more of them. The launch is the start, not the end.

Questions, answered honestly

What do you need from us to get started?

A conversation about what the site needs to achieve, examples of anything you like or hate, and access to your existing domain and analytics if you have them. We handle the rest, including writing the copy if you want us to. The most useful thing you can bring is honesty about your customers and what makes them choose you.

How long does a website take to build?

A brochure site typically takes 4–6 weeks; ecommerce 8–12. The most common delay isn’t design or code: it’s waiting on content, which is why we offer to write it for you.

Will my website work on mobile?

Yes, and it will be designed for mobile first: for most of our clients over 60% of visitors are on a phone. We test on real devices, not just a resized browser window.

Do you do SEO as part of web design?

Every build ships with sound technical foundations: clean structure, fast pages, proper titles and schema. Ongoing SEO (content, links, rankings growth) is a separate service, and having both under one roof means nothing gets lost between agencies.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. We build on content management systems you can actually use, hand over full ownership of the site and domain, and show you how to make changes. No hostage-taking: it’s your site.

Which platforms do you build on?

WordPress and Shopify for most projects, custom builds where they genuinely earn their keep. We recommend the platform that fits your budget and plans, not the one that suits us.
