Services / Website design

Website design that makes the next step clear.

Websites for UK businesses that make your services clear and help customers get in touch. From page planning and responsive design to tested enquiry forms and handover.

Original illustrative website concept. Designed to show a possible direction.

Your business.
A different point of view.

No two businesses have the same story. Explore how your services, your work and your personality can shape the design.

What your website
needs to do.

Help visitors understand your services, find credible evidence and send a useful enquiry. We agree the pages, content and enquiry journey before design begins, so the build has a clear scope.

Page plan and content

An agreed page map, service information and enquiry routes built around customer questions. We identify useful existing content and agree who writes, supplies and approves each part.

Responsive website design

A visual direction, mobile and desktop layouts, and reusable components. Choose an adapted concept or a bespoke design, with the pages and review stages set out in your proposal.

Search and launch checks

Descriptive page titles, internal links and a sitemap, plus mobile, keyboard and performance checks. For a redesign, we review useful URLs and plan redirects for changed addresses.

Enquiries and handover

Tested forms, an agreed route for enquiries and guidance on managing the site. Measurement depends on available access; hosting, third-party costs and optional ongoing care are set out in the proposal.

A new website, or a better version of the one you have?

Start with what already works and what customers need. Your proposal sets out the agreed pages, features and responsibilities, with optional work and ongoing costs identified before the build.

Scope, pricing and ongoing care
Improve the existing site

If the current system supports the business, we can scope clearer service pages, a shorter enquiry journey or a focused redesign. Start with the pages customers use and the questions your team hears, then decide whether a rebuild is justified.

Adapt a concept or design from scratch

An adapted design suits a familiar page structure with a clear brief. Bespoke design makes more sense when your brand, content or customer journey needs a different structure. Both routes need your own copy, images and evidence; the public concepts are starting points.

Choose how the site will be managed

Before selecting a content system, agree who edits services, publishes projects and manages enquiries. We check the required permissions, preview process, integrations and ongoing costs, and include a practical handover in the proposal.

A website brief you can use today

Use these six prompts for your project notes. An unknown is useful to flag; you do not need a finished specification before we speak.

  1. Audience and outcome. Name the customer you want to help and one useful action: requesting a survey, discussing an advisory project or booking an appointment. Record how those enquiries are handled today.
  2. Pages to keep or improve. List your current website addresses and the services customers ask about. Mark useful pages, examples and downloads before deciding what needs to move.
  3. Evidence and content. Gather your logo, accurate service details, permitted project photographs and team biographies. Identify who can approve each item and where new copy is needed.
  4. The enquiry journey. Write down the minimum details needed for a first response, who receives the enquiry and what the customer should see after sending it. Save detailed qualification for the appropriate stage.
  5. Systems and ownership. Name the booking, CRM or other systems the website must connect to. Agree who edits content after launch and how hosting, domain and account access will be handed over.
  6. Budget and dependencies. State your intended budget range and launch window, including any fixed event behind the date. Separate the build from recurring subscriptions, care and content work.

For a service business, our website structure guide helps you plan the pages. Use our guide to choosing useful enquiry questions to decide what to ask customers.

Discuss your website brief

From first conversation to launch.
  1. Review and brief: discuss your customers, current website and enquiry process. Review search data where access is available.
  2. Scope and design: agree the page map, design route, content responsibilities, review stages and exclusions. Set out the price, schedule and dependencies in writing.
  3. Build and review: develop the agreed pages, review them with your team and test mobile layouts, keyboard navigation, forms and any scoped connections.
  4. Launch and handover: check URLs and redirects, confirm how enquiries reach your team, and document site access, content updates and the agreed support arrangements.

If your website needs to take payments or send enquiries to another system, include this in the brief. Explore eCommerce or integrations and data for these requirements.

From problem to a practical plan.

Illustrative project

The problem

A professional firm lists all its work on one long page, so visitors cannot find the relevant service.

The approach

Separate service pages explain the offer, show relevant evidence and lead to a short enquiry form.

What to check

Compare service-page visits, form completions and the enquiries the firm marks as qualified. This is an illustrative approach, not a claimed client result.

Tell us about your website
How much does a website for a UK small business cost?

The page types, design route, content work and connections determine the quote. Share your current website, priorities and a budget range if you have one. We set out the agreed scope and build price in writing, alongside third-party costs, any applicable taxes and optional care.

How long will our website project take?

The schedule depends on the agreed scope, content readiness, feedback and any connections to other systems. Tell us about a target date and what drives it. The proposal sets out the schedule and dependencies; a launch date needs an agreed brief.

What do we receive at handover?

The agreed pages and reusable components, tested enquiry routes, a launch checklist and guidance on updating content. The proposal identifies website and account access, asset and font licences, hosting arrangements and any separately agreed ongoing care.

Can you redesign our site without losing useful search traffic?

We review existing URLs and Search Console data where access is available, retain useful content and map permanent redirects for changed addresses. After launch, we check the new pages and monitor indexing and enquiries. A migration can affect visibility, so preserving traffic is a process to manage rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Who writes the copy and supplies photographs?

We agree this before quoting. Writing and image preparation can be scoped into the project. Your team supplies accurate business details, permission to show customer work and approval of the content. The designs shown on this page are illustrative concepts, not claimed client projects.

Can our team update the website after launch?

Tell us who will edit services, publish projects and manage enquiries. We agree the content system, permissions and handover around those tasks before choosing the build approach. Ongoing support and content work depend on the care plan you choose; they are not assumed to be included in the build.

The development behind your website.

Agree how the site will be edited, tested and operated alongside its design. The proposal should make each responsibility clear.

Choose an editing approach around your team

A content-managed site can suit regular publishing by several people. A smaller managed site may suit a business with fewer updates. Bespoke functionality needs its own scope. We assess the editing tasks, permissions, preview needs and ongoing costs before recommending an approach.

  • Who edits services, team profiles and project examples?
  • Which changes need approval before publication?
  • What can be maintained with the existing platform?

Agree evidence of a working website

Acceptance should describe customer tasks rather than a promise that everything is finished. Agree the checks and who reviews the result before launch.

  • Representative mobile and desktop journeys, including keyboard use.
  • An enquiry that is saved and reaches the agreed owner; errors that explain the next action.
  • Existing URLs retained where useful, with any required redirect map.

Use a practical handover checklist

This is an example checklist to agree in the proposal, not an additional package or a guarantee about every project.

  • Business and supplier responsibilities for domain, hosting and content access.
  • Editing instructions, agreed artwork formats and third-party licence responsibilities.
  • Recorded acceptance checks, unresolved items and the agreed support route.
