Website design services · From £750

A bespoke website, not a theme with your logo dropped in

We design and build custom WordPress sites for UK businesses, mostly smaller SMEs, from a Nottingham web design studio that also designs the brands those sites carry. Website design services are priced per page, typically live in one to three weeks, and handed over with full admin access so it's yours from day one.

Inside a website build

A site built to earn trust and hold up under traffic

  • Bespoke design

    Layouts designed around your brand and content, never a theme with your logo swapped in.

  • Mobile-first & fast

    Fast builds that score well on Core Web Vitals, tested from phone to desktop before launch.

  • SEO-ready foundations

    Semantic structure, clean URLs and fast load times built in from day one, not bolted on after.

  • Full ownership & training

    Complete admin access and a walkthrough of basic edits at handover, we never hold your site hostage.

Who this website service suits

Any industry, any size, built for smaller businesses

Trades, professional services, retail, hospitality, charities, if you need a credible web presence, we can help. As a website design agency in Nottingham working UK-wide, we do not turn away larger organisations. Most of our website clients are sole traders, growing teams and established SMEs.

A one-page brochure site suits most briefs, see website design for small businesses for that end of the range. Selling online is a different build; our e-commerce web design page covers what changes. Already have a site that isn't pulling its weight? A website design audit is the cheaper first step.

If your brand needs work too, we design both under one roof, see branding services. Briefs, reviews and handover all happen remotely, so location rarely matters.

How we build your website

A clear, three-step process. Most sites are live within one to three weeks from sign-off on the brief.

  1. 01

    Brief & structure

    We agree your goals, audience, pages and content, then shape the sitemap and key user journeys around them.

  2. 02

    Design & build

    Layouts for your sign-off, then development on WordPress with a preview link and revisions as we go.

  3. 03

    Launch & handover

    Go live, hand over full admin access and a walkthrough of basic content edits. The site is yours.

Pricing

Simple, page-based pricing

A one-page site is £750, then £500 for each additional page, a three-page site is £1,750, a five-page site £2,750. That includes design, build, responsive web design for Nottingham and UK audiences, basic SEO setup and launch. Page-based quotes keep bespoke web design affordable for SMEs without agency overhead.

E-commerce, custom integrations and complex functionality are quoted separately once we understand your brief, see e-commerce web design for how that pricing works. No hidden fees: you get a fixed quote once we know your page count and requirements, before any work starts.

Template site vs bespoke

How we compare to a template builder

Wix or Squarespace can get a site live fast and cheap. Here's what changes when a Nottingham web design agency designs and builds it instead, compared with another web design company in Nottingham selling templates or drag-and-drop kits.
