A web design agency building websites that win customers

It depends on scope. Bark's 2026 UK price guide puts agency websites for small businesses at roughly £2,000–£7,000 and ecommerce builds at £5,000–£15,000. The number of pages, custom features, integrations and whether you need copywriting and photography move the price most. After a first call we send a fixed proposal, so you know the cost before any work starts.

Most of our websites take four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch. A small brochure site sits at the shorter end; larger sites with many pages, integrations or several languages take longer. The biggest variable is usually content, so having copy, images and feedback ready on time keeps the project on schedule.

Not if the migration is handled properly. Before launch we map every old URL to its new page and set up 301 redirects, keep the content that already ranks, and check page titles and headings. After go-live we monitor Google Search Console for errors, so search traffic carries over to the new site.

Yes. After a first call and a look at your current site, we send a written proposal with a fixed price in pounds, the pages and features included and a timeline. If something new comes up during the project, we agree the scope and price of the change before doing the work, so there are no surprise invoices at the end.

Yes. We build ecommerce websites with fast product pages, a simple checkout and product copy written to rank on Google. Shopify and WooCommerce are the most common choices, and we recommend the platform that fits your range, your budget and how you want to run the shop day to day.

Yes. A landing page is a standalone page with one goal, such as turning visitors from a Google or Meta ad into bookings, quote requests or sales. We match the message to the ad, keep the form short and track conversions from the start, so you can see what each campaign actually delivers.

You get a walkthrough of how to update the site and read your analytics, and we are on hand for questions. Many clients then carry on with new features, SEO or paid advertising to bring more of the right visitors to the new site.

Yes. We build on a content management system where your team can change text, images, news and team pages without touching code. Before handover we run a training session and give you a short guide. If you'd rather not do it yourselves, we can also look after updates on an ongoing basis.

The technical foundations are always included: fast load times, clean URLs, clear headings, page titles, meta descriptions, schema markup and a structure Google can crawl. That gets the site ready to rank. Winning competitive keywords usually takes ongoing SEO work and content after launch, which we can also help with.

We choose the platform to suit the business rather than the other way round. Most brochure and B2B sites are built on WordPress or Webflow, and online shops on Shopify or WooCommerce. We'll recommend one based on your budget, the features you need and how your team wants to edit the site.

If you'd like us to. Our copy is written for UK buyers first: clear, specific and focused on what makes customers get in touch. It also works in the phrases people actually search for, so each page has a fair chance of ranking. You review and approve every page before it goes live.

Usually, yes. We measure with Google's PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals, then fix what is slowing the site down, such as oversized images, heavy scripts, too many plugins or slow hosting. A faster site is better for visitors, especially on mobile, and page experience is one of the signals Google looks at. Read more about technical SEO.

We build every site so AI tools can read and quote it: clear answers to common questions, structured data and accurate facts about your business. Google says AI Overviews need nothing extra beyond good SEO. Whether ChatGPT and others actually name you also depends on what other websites say about you. That work is called AI visibility.

Yes. If you need a new or refreshed logo, colour palette and typefaces, we create a brand identity first and build the website on it, so everything looks consistent from launch. If your branding already works, we simply design the website around it.

Often a redesign is enough. If the platform is sound and the site ranks reasonably, improving design, copy and structure can be quicker and cheaper. If it's slow, hard to update or broken on mobile, a rebuild usually pays off. We review your current site and give you an honest recommendation either way.

Yes. We start with a review of how the site is built, its hosting, plugins and security, then fix what isn't working. Once access and ownership of the domain and hosting are transferred to you, we can take responsibility for development, updates and support going forward.

Yes. We work remotely with clients in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and everywhere else, using video calls, shared documents and a clear project plan. You get a named contact and regular check-ins, so being in a different city makes no difference to how the project runs.

A builder such as Wix or Squarespace is fine for a simple site on a small budget. An agency is worth it when the website has to bring in business: researched structure, custom design, fast and accessible code, copy that ranks, and one team accountable for the result. Many businesses start DIY and switch once growth stalls.
