WordPress & Web Design

Beautiful sites you can actually edit yourself.

We've been designing and building WordPress websites for Manchester businesses for over a decade. Every site we deliver is bespoke — no off-the-shelf themes — and built to be edited by humans, not just developers.

Design starts with your customers and your goals. We map the journeys that drive revenue, then design pages that convert and a CMS your team genuinely enjoys using.

  • Custom design, responsive on every device
  • Visual page builder and content training
  • Performance, accessibility and Core Web Vitals
  • Migrations from legacy platforms

Choosing a web design agency in Manchester

There is no shortage of web design agencies in Manchester. The difference usually shows up eighteen months after launch, when you want to add a page and discover you need a developer — or when the site that looked beautiful in the pitch deck turns out to load in six seconds on a phone.

We build for the long term. Every site is bespoke, hand-built on WordPress with a visual page builder your team is trained on, tested for Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility before launch, and hosted on our own managed UK platform so there is one number to call when something needs attention.

  • No off-the-shelf themes and no page-builder bloat
  • Fixed price agreed after discovery — no open-ended day rates
  • You own the site, the domain, the hosting and the content
  • Search visibility designed in from the sitemap up, not bolted on later

Website design and development, under one roof

Design and development are the same conversation for us. Wireframes are tested against real content, not lorem ipsum. Interactions are prototyped before they are built. And because the same team handles SEO and hosting, the technical foundations that determine whether Google can crawl and rank your site are handled from day one rather than retrofitted by a second supplier.

That matters in a competitive market. A Manchester business competing for local search needs fast page loads, clean structured data, sensible URL structure and content organised around what customers actually search for — all decisions made during the build, not after it.

Website redesigns and migrations

Most of our work is replacing sites that have quietly stopped performing. We map every existing URL, put 301 redirects in place, preserve the pages that already earn search traffic, and stage the whole thing so you can review it before anything goes live. Clients typically keep their existing rankings through launch rather than losing three months of visibility.

Pricing

Straightforward packages, fixed before we start

Every engagement is quoted after a short discovery call. These are the typical starting points so you know roughly where you stand before you pick up the phone.
