Your Website Is Losing You Business
A slow, confusing, or outdated website doesn’t just look bad — it actively costs you revenue. Research consistently shows that 53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes longer than three seconds to load, and the average bounce rate for poorly structured pages is well above 70%. If your website isn’t designed to convert visitors into enquiries, you’re leaving money on the table every single day.
What’s Included in Our Web Development Service
Strategy & UX Planning
We map out user journeys, define conversion goals, and create wireframes before a single line of code is written.
Responsive Design
Every site we build looks and performs perfectly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
WordPress Development
Custom WordPress builds using lean, maintainable code — no bloated page builders unless your team specifically needs them for content management.
Headless & Custom Builds
For more complex requirements, we build headless architectures using Next.js or other modern frameworks connected to headless CMS platforms.
Performance Optimisation
We target 90+ scores on Google PageSpeed Insights, with Core Web Vitals — LCP, FID, and CLS — all in the green.
On-Page SEO Foundation
Correct heading hierarchy, schema markup, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, and clean URL structures baked in from launch.
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
Strategic placement of calls to action, trust signals, and lead capture mechanisms to maximise the value of every visitor.
Analytics Integration
Full GA4 and GTM setup included with every build, so you’re tracking performance from day one.
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
Post-launch support packages available to keep your site secure, updated, and performing.
Responsive WordPress Web Design in Manchester
More than half of website visits now come from phones, and Google ranks sites based on how they perform on mobile. Responsive web design means your site adapts to every screen size, so the layout, text, images and forms all work as well on a phone as on a desktop. Every site we build is responsive by default and tested on real devices before launch.
Why we build on WordPress
WordPress powers a large share of the web for good reason. It is flexible, well supported and easy for your team to update without calling a developer. We build custom WordPress themes rather than heavy page-builder templates, which keeps sites fast, secure and easy to rank. For online shops we build on Shopify or WooCommerce, depending on what you sell and how you work.
What every website includes
- A custom, responsive design that matches your brand.
- Fast loading times and good Core Web Vitals scores.
- SEO foundations, including clean structure, schema markup, redirects and an XML sitemap.
- Contact forms, analytics and conversion tracking set up and tested.
- Training so your team can edit pages and publish posts.
Brochure websites start from £1,495. As a Manchester web design agency we are happy to meet local clients in person, and we work with businesses across the UK remotely.
How We Deliver
Discovery & Strategy
We start by understanding your business, your customers, and your goals. Who are you trying to reach? What action do you want them to take? What does success look like in 6 months? This strategic foundation informs every design and development decision we make.
Design & Wireframing
We create detailed wireframes and high-fidelity designs for your approval before development begins. This ensures there are no surprises and that the final build matches your vision. We present desktop and mobile designs and iterate based on your feedback.
Development & QA
Our developers build your site on a staging environment, ensuring clean, well-documented code. We conduct thorough cross-browser and cross-device QA, performance testing, and accessibility checks before anything goes live.
Launch & Optimise
We manage the launch process carefully — handling DNS changes, 301 redirects from your old site, and post-launch monitoring. After launch, we continue to monitor performance and implement improvements based on real user data.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical website project take?
A standard brochure site takes 6–10 weeks from kick-off to launch. More complex projects — large e-commerce sites, custom web applications, or headless builds — typically take 12–20 weeks. We provide a detailed project timeline at the outset and keep you updated throughout.
Will I be able to update the site myself after launch?
Yes. For most projects we use WordPress with a carefully configured content management setup that makes it easy for non-technical team members to update pages, add blog posts, and manage content without needing developer help. We provide training as standard.
Do you do e-commerce websites?
Yes — we build WooCommerce sites for businesses that want a WordPress-native e-commerce experience, and we also work with Shopify for clients who prefer a hosted platform. We can advise on which is better suited to your product catalogue, order volumes, and internal capabilities.
What happens to my SEO when I relaunch my website?
Poorly managed relaunches are one of the most common causes of significant organic traffic loss. We implement a comprehensive redirect strategy, pre-launch crawl analysis, and post-launch monitoring to protect and build on your existing rankings. Our SEO service works hand-in-hand with our web development team.
Can you improve my existing site rather than rebuild from scratch?
Absolutely. Sometimes a full rebuild isn’t necessary — performance optimisation, a CRO-focused redesign, or targeted fixes can deliver significant improvements at lower cost and risk. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether a rebuild or improvement project is the right approach for your situation. Get in touch to discuss.
How much does a WordPress website cost in Manchester?
Our WordPress websites start from £1,495 for a brochure site. Larger sites, custom features and e-commerce builds are quoted after a short discovery call. See our pricing page for more detail.
Is responsive design included as standard?
Yes. Every site we build is fully responsive and tested on phones, tablets and desktops before launch. We do not charge extra for mobile.
