Manchester web design

Manchester web design for local service businesses

We're a founder-led web design team based in Manchester, building fast, clear websites for trades, clinics, salons, accountants, and other service businesses across Greater Manchester and the UK.

  • Website builds priced at £1,450

We work with you from first call to launch. Founder-led, with a named person on your account throughout, and the same people who scope the work deliver it.

Why work with us

Local, founder-led, and built to bring in enquiries

Everything is built in-house, so you are not paying for agency overhead. Just a clear site that does its job, built by the people you actually talk to.

Founder-led, based in Manchester

You work directly with the team building your site, and nothing is handed off to an account manager. Based in Manchester, so a coffee or a call is easy when it helps.

Built to rank in local search

Every build ships with the local SEO foundations: clean structure, fast pages, and the on-page signals that help you show up for searches like “your service + Manchester”.

Fast, mobile-first, no jargon

Most local searches happen on a phone. Your site loads instantly and reads clearly on mobile, so visitors become enquiries instead of bouncing.

What we build

Websites built for how local customers actually search and decide

Website builds from scratch

Complete sites for businesses starting out or moving off a DIY builder. Strategy, copy, design, build, and launch.

Redesigns and migrations

Move off Wix, Squarespace, or an ageing WordPress site onto something fast, clear, and yours.

Booking and enquiry funnels

Make it effortless to call, WhatsApp, or book: that's the difference between a visit and a job.

Local SEO foundations

The technical and on-page groundwork to compete in Greater Manchester search, built into every project.

Warranty & support

After launch you get 30 days of defect fixes and tuning: bugs in the delivered work, plus the adjustments that come out of seeing the site live. After that, ongoing changes are handled on a managed plan (/pricing/managed) or billed as ad-hoc support.

We work with service businesses across the UK. Here is honest proof from recent projects. The results below are from real clients nationwide, not Manchester-specific claims.

Proof & reassurance

What others have experienced

Real outcomes and feedback from businesses we've worked with. See client results on the About page.

Results vary by business. We only share outcomes we can stand behind.

What you can expect

  • Scope agreed in writing before you commit. Your proposal lists exactly what's in and what's out.
  • Clear milestones and check-ins. You see progress at each stage; nothing goes live without your approval.
  • One structured revision round at design and one at staging, both reviewed live, not by email chain. Further rounds are quoted before they start.
  • Billed per milestone as work is delivered. Each invoice maps to a completed stage.

    Families were making a high-stress decision with no clear path from first visit to assessment enquiry, and the old structure made the right information hard to find.
    What we did
    Rebuilt the public site around the parent's decision rather than the service list: three-pillar service model, step-by-step journey from enquiry to ongoing support, a 21-guide resource library, transparent pricing, and assessment-first CTA placement.

    Timeframe
    4–8 weeks
    Outcome
    18 location pages live across West London and the Thames Valley, with four-way redundant lead delivery so no enquiry is lost to a single failure.

Client feedback

D'mitri helped our Brackley nail studio move from Squarespace + Acuity to a better setup (website + Square Appointments). More bookings come through online now, I'm not stuck in DMs all day, and clients have commented on how professional the site looks.

Meghan Meehan, Owner, MMM Beauty

Honestly couldn't be happier with the website that was built for me. I needed both my skincare brand and accountancy services to look professional, trustworthy, and modern, and that's exactly what was delivered.

Harrison James, Director, Harrison James Accounting

The new version is clearer, more accessible, and far better on mobile. They understood the sensitivity of our audience and handled it properly!

FAQ

Manchester web design: common questions

Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. We work with service businesses right across the UK. We're based in Manchester, so local clients get the option of meeting in person, but the work itself is the same wherever you are.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, if it helps. We're Manchester-based and happy to meet locally for a kickoff or planning session. Most of the build runs over email and short calls, so plenty of clients never need to meet at all.
Can you help my site rank for searches like “my service + Manchester”?
Every build includes the local SEO foundations: site structure, page speed, clear service and area pages, and the on-page signals Google uses. That gives you a real chance to rank locally. Ongoing SEO management, if you want it, runs on one of our managed monthly plans.
What areas around Manchester do you cover?
Greater Manchester and beyond: Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Wigan, and the surrounding towns. And, being online-first, the rest of the UK too.
How much does a website cost, and how long does it take?
£1,450. You get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts, with no VAT on top. Delivery runs 4 to 12 weeks depending on tier, with the per-tier windows on /pricing/websites, and how quickly content comes together moves it as much as scope does.
