Who it’s for

Local businesses that need their website to earn its keep

Plenty of good firms around Sheffield had a site built years ago and haven’t thought about it since. Work comes in by word of mouth, so it never felt urgent. Then you notice none of your enquiries mention the website.

Trades and contractors

Roofers, electricians, plumbers, builders and garages. Most of your customers find you on a phone, often while something is broken, so the site has to get them to call quickly.

Local service firms

Accountants, consultants and other professional services, where a nervous customer reads your about page before picking up the phone.

New businesses

You’ve started trading and need a first proper website, rather than a social media page and a free template you built one evening.

What a rebuild fixes

The problems we see most on older sites

If two or three of these sound familiar, a rebuild is probably worth it. If it’s just one, it might be a quick fix instead, and we’ll tell you so.

It looks dated

A site that looks its age makes a careful customer wonder whether you’re still trading. We give it a clean, current design that matches the standard of your work.

It’s awkward on a phone

No more pinching and zooming. Your number can be tapped to call, the menu fits the screen, and the contact form works with a thumb.

Browsers call it “Not secure”

A site still on plain HTTP gets flagged by Chrome and the other main browsers. Your new site runs over HTTPS from the first day.

It’s slow to load

Oversized photos, cheap hosting and years of bolted-on plugins all add up. We build lean pages with properly sized images so they load quickly on mobile data.

You can’t change anything

If updating your opening hours means emailing someone and waiting, the site drifts out of date. You’ll be able to make those changes yourself.

It brings in no enquiries

Every page is planned around a call or a form enquiry for the services you sell, in the areas you cover, with tracking so you can see what comes in.

You can check your own site in a few minutes with our guide to the signs your Sheffield business has outgrown its website.

What you get

A website you can rely on, and run yourself

Most service businesses need fewer pages than they imagine, each one clearer. This is what goes into every site we design.

Designed around enquiries

We agree what the site is for at the start, usually calls and form enquiries for particular jobs, and check every page against it.

A page for each service

Clear pages for your main services and the areas you really cover, each with something specific to say, plus an about page people can trust.

Fast and secure

Lean pages, properly sized images, decent hosting and HTTPS as standard, built for good Core Web Vitals on a phone.

Easy for you to edit

An editing setup made for non-technical people, so you can change your hours or add a job photo without ringing anyone. We’ll show you how and write it down.

Rankings carried across

If any of your old pages rank for anything, we point each old address at its new page with a 301 redirect, so that visibility isn’t lost on launch day.

Measured from day one

Analytics, Google Search Console and tracking on calls and form enquiries, so in six months you can judge the site on facts.

A fair test of any web designer is their own site. In an audit on 12 November 2026, this website scored 95 to 100 for mobile performance in Google’s Lighthouse test.

How the work runs

Most of the useful work happens before the design

A rebuild for a local business is a practical job. Here is how we take it from your first call to a site that’s live and being watched.

01

Agree the goal

We talk through your business, your customers and the work you want more of, then write down what the site has to achieve.
02

Plan the pages

We look at what your current site has that’s worth keeping, decide the page structure and gather your content and job photos.
03

Design and build

You see the design before it’s built. Then we build it fast, mobile-friendly and easy to edit, and test it on real phones.
04

Launch and watch

We test every redirect and form, submit the new sitemap to Google, then keep an eye on errors and enquiries in the weeks after.

Studio concepts

See how we’d design for a trade

Our portfolio includes studio concepts: self-directed designs for fictional roofers, garages, builders and heating firms around South Yorkshire. They aren’t client work. They show how we’d lay out a site for a business like yours, and every one is a working page you can click through.

When a brochure site isn’t the right fit

If you want to sell online, start with Shopify development. If you need a client portal, booking system, custom tool or integrations with the software you already run, that’s web development. And if the site is fine but nobody finds it, look at SEO first.

FAQs

Web design FAQs

How long does a new website take?

It depends on how many pages you need and how quickly the content and photos come together. Every project has a fixed scope and a fixed price, agreed before we start, and we’ll set out the timeline in the same proposal so you know when to expect it.

What do you need from me?

Mainly your knowledge of the business. A list of the services you offer and the areas you cover, photos of real jobs, any accreditations you actually hold, your logo if you have one, and access to your domain and current website. We’ll help you shape the words and ask the questions that get the useful detail out of you.

Can you move my existing content across?

Yes. We go through your current site, keep what is still accurate and useful, and rewrite or drop the rest. Any old page that ranks in Google gets a 301 redirect to its new address.

Will I be able to update the site myself?

Yes. We build on an editing setup made for non-technical people, so you can change your opening hours, add a job photo or update a service page without calling a developer. We’ll train you and document it.

Do you host the website?

Hosting is part of the plan we agree before any work starts. We’ll recommend where the site should live, explain what it costs to run, and make sure it is fast and runs over HTTPS. For ongoing updates and fixes after launch, we also offer support and care plans.

Will I keep my Google rankings?

Before we build, we find out which of your current pages rank for anything. On launch, each of those old addresses is pointed at its new equivalent with a 301 redirect, and we check them afterwards. It is the same discipline we use on large store migrations, scaled down to a small site.

Let’s talk

Is your website costing you work?
