Services
Business website design that makes it obvious what you do and who to call
For service firms, manufacturers, clinics, schools and traders whose website looks dated, says too little or confuses visitors. We plan the pages, help with the words and design every screen for phones first.
Quick answer
What does business website design with us include?
Planning the pages, writing or editing the words, and designing every screen for phones first, for small and mid-sized businesses that need a credible site or a redesign. You get an editor your team can use, forms that reach the right person and a fixed written price. Most sites take four to eight weeks.
Overview
Visitors decide in a few seconds whether you are the right kind of business
They want to know what you offer, whether you serve people like them, where you are and how to get in touch. Many business websites make them work for those answers: the services are buried in a slideshow, the contact number is an image, and the about page is two lines of general claims.
Our design work starts with those questions, not with colours. We agree who the site is for and what they should do next, write down the pages and what goes on each one, and only then design how it looks. The result is usually a simpler site than the one it replaces, and one that is easier to keep up to date.
Suited to
Small and mid-sized businesses that need a credible first website, or a redesign of one that no longer reflects the business.
Not suited to
Online stores, customer logins or booking systems. Those need e-commerce or web application development, which we also do.
What we build
Business website design work we take on
A first proper website
For a business that has relied on referrals, a directory listing or a social media page, and now needs somewhere to send people.
Redesign of a dated site
Keeping what still works, including pages that already rank in Google, and replacing the structure, wording and look that do not.
Service and product pages
One clear page per service or product line, with what it is, who it is for, what it involves and how to enquire.
Branch and contact pages
Address, map, hours and phone number for each location, written as text so phones and search engines can read them.
A design system for your pages
Type, colours, buttons and page sections built from your existing logo and brand colours, so new pages look right without a designer.
How we work
Six stages, typically four to eight weeks
Step 1: Discovery call and site review
We talk through your customers, your services and what the current site gets wrong, and look at the sites your buyers compare you with.
Step 2: Page plan and wireframes
A list of pages with the purpose of each, then simple layouts for phone and desktop, agreed before any visual design.
Step 3: Words
We write the copy from a conversation with you, or edit what you draft, so every page says plainly what you do and for whom.
Step 4: Visual design
Two or three key page templates designed in full to your brand. You review them on your own phone before we design the rest.
Step 5: Build and review on staging
The site is built with an editor your team can use, on a private link where you check every page before launch.
Step 6: Launch and handover
Domain switch, redirects from old addresses, enquiry forms tested, analytics set up, and a recorded session on editing pages.

Timeline and commercial model
Most business websites take four to eight weeks from the first call to launch. Design and build are rarely what slows a project down. Waiting for final wording, photographs and approvals is, so we agree who provides each one, and by when, at the start.
We quote a fixed price in writing against an agreed page plan. The price depends on the number of distinct page templates, whether we write the copy, how many languages you need, and any extras such as a booking form or a CRM connection. Hosting and the domain are in your name. Our guide to what a website costs in India explains each cost factor.
Often paired with website development for integrations and larger builds, SEO and digital marketing after launch and our guide to choosing a web design company.
What we will not do
We will not add invented client logos, made-up numbers or testimonials nobody wrote, and we will not present stock photographs as your team or premises. If you have real photographs, certifications or customer feedback, we will make good use of them. If you do not yet, the site will say plainly what you do, and that is often enough to win the enquiry.
FAQ
Questions about business website design
What is the difference between website design and website development?
Design decides what the site says and how it looks and works for a visitor: the pages, the words, the layout on a phone. Development builds it, connects forms and other systems, and keeps it fast and secure. We do both. This page covers the design side; our website development page covers the build.
Do you write the content for the website?
We can. We usually write each page from a conversation with you and your notes, then you correct the facts. If you prefer to write it yourselves, we edit for the web. Who owns the copy is agreed before work starts.
Can you redesign our current site without losing Google rankings?
Usually, yes. We keep the pages and wording that already bring visitors where they still fit, redirect every old address to its new one, and watch Search Console for several weeks after launch.
We do not have brand guidelines. Is that a problem?
No. We work from your logo and the colours you already use, and agree a simple set of fonts, colours and page sections for the site. That set becomes your guide for future pages.
Will we be able to change the website ourselves?
Yes. You get editor accounts and a recorded training session. Text, images, services, team members and contact details can all be changed without code.
How long does a business website design project take?
Four to eight weeks for most business websites. A small site with final copy and photographs ready can be quicker; waiting for content is the usual cause of delay.
How much does business website design cost?
It depends on the number of distinct page templates, whether we write the copy, languages and any integrations. We quote a fixed price in writing after a short call, so you know the full cost before work begins.
Is your website doing your business justice?
Send us your current site, or a few lines about your business if you do not have one yet. We will reply with what we would change and why.
