Pay-monthly plans or quoted projects. Canonical URL: https://webprojectuk.com/website-design/ Last updated: 2026-09-30 --- # Website design for UK businesses Websites that explain what you do and make it easy to get in touch A business website has a simple job. It should tell people what you do, where you do it and why they can trust you, then make contacting you effortless. We plan, design and build websites around that job, and look after them once they are live. - Planned around your customers and the work you want - Built to work properly on phones, tablets and desktops - Pay-monthly plans from £100 a month plus VAT Explore Website Plans Ask about a website ## What makes a good small-business website Most visitors decide within moments whether they are in the right place. These are the things we focus on. ### Clear at a glance What you do and where you do it, stated plainly at the top of the page, without jargon or clever slogans getting in the way. ### Works on a phone Most people will find you on a mobile. Buttons, text and forms are designed for small screens first. ### Easy to contact A phone number, email and enquiry form that are easy to find from every page, and forms that actually deliver. ### Quick to load Sensibly sized images and clean code, so pages appear quickly even on a weak mobile signal. ### Trustworthy Real photos, genuine details about who you are, and accurate information about your registrations and experience, as you supply it. ### Readable by search engines Proper page titles, headings and structure, so search engines can understand what each page is about. ### Easy to keep current Prices, photos and opening hours change. The website should change with them without a major project. ### Secure and backed up An SSL certificate, regular updates and daily backups, so the website stays safe and recoverable. ## How we plan a website Good design starts before anything is drawn. We begin with your business, not a template. - **Who your customers are** and what they need to know before they contact you. - **The work you want more of.** A website can be shaped to bring in the jobs you prefer, not just any enquiry. - **The pages you need.** We map out each page and what it is for, and agree the plan with you before design starts. - **How people will get in touch.** Calls, forms or email, and what information you need from an enquiry to reply properly. Once the plan is agreed, we design and build the website, test it on real devices and ask you to review it before it goes live. **Websites we have designed and built:** [KuhinjaHaus case study](https://webprojectuk.com/case-studies/kuhinjahaus/) (kitchen design and installation, North West England), [Step Into AI case study](https://webprojectuk.com/case-studies/stepintoai/) (business software, Manchester) and [Dog Lovers Registration Club UK case study](https://webprojectuk.com/case-studies/dogregclub/) (pedigree dog registration).

Talk it through Tell us about your business, your customers and what you want the website to achieve. 2. Agree the plan We set out the pages, the package or quote, and what is included, in writing. 3. Design We design the website around your brand, your content and the way your customers use it. 4. Build and test We build it, then test forms, links and layouts on phones, tablets and desktops. 5. Launch and look after You approve it, we launch it, and we keep it hosted, backed up and maintained. ## Website design questions ### What is the difference between this page and the pay-monthly websites page? This page explains how we approach website design in general. The [pay-monthly websites page](https://webprojectuk.com/pay-monthly-websites/) sets out the three packages in full, including what each one costs, what it includes and the minimum term. ### Do all new websites have to be on a monthly package? Most business websites fit one of the pay-monthly packages. If yours needs something outside them, such as an online shop or a booking system linked to other software, we will talk it through and quote for it separately. ### Will I be able to see the design before the website goes live? Yes. You review the website and ask for changes before it is launched. Nothing goes live until you are happy with it. ### What do I need to provide? Information about your business, the services you offer and the areas you cover, plus your logo and any photos of your own work. We will tell you exactly what we need when we plan the pages together. ### Can you help me get found on Google? Every website we build has sound technical foundations, so search engines can read it clearly. Nobody can guarantee rankings. For local businesses, your [Google Business Profile](https://webprojectuk.com/google-business-profile/) and [local SEO](https://webprojectuk.com/local-seo/) matter too, and we can help with both. ### I already have a website. Should I start again? Not always. Sometimes a repair or a few changes are enough. See [website redesign](https://webprojectuk.com/website-redesign/) for the signs that a new website is worth it, or [website support](https://webprojectuk.com/website-support/) if something has simply stopped working. ## Ask about a new website Tell us a little about your business and what you need. We will reply by email. ## New website enquiry
