Why we focus on Cheshire
Cheshire is a county of distinct places. Chester's city-centre economy is nothing like Northwich's industrial base, and neither is much like the professional and property market of Wilmslow and Alderley Edge. A website that works for a business in one can look out of place in another.
By focusing on Cheshire, we can plan websites around how people here actually search and choose: which towns customers look in, what questions they ask, and what makes them trust a local business.
What we believe makes a good website
A good website is clear before it is clever. It tells visitors what you do, who you do it for and how to get in touch. It loads quickly on a phone. It is written for customers rather than for other people in your industry. And it is built so search engines can understand it as easily as people can.
Everything else, from the colours to the animations, should serve those basics.
Our standards
We keep to a few simple rules. We do not invent testimonials, reviews, statistics or case studies. Our portfolio shows studio projects, in-house designs for fictional businesses, clearly labelled as such. We do not buy links or use link schemes for SEO. And every project starts with a written quote, so there are no surprises.
Experience and tools
We have worked in web design and development, custom web apps, SEO and digital marketing for more than ten years. Most of the sites we build are custom builds in Next.js and React, because they load faster and are more secure. When a client needs WordPress, we use WordPress, and for online shops we build on Shopify.
We can arrange photography on request, or work with your own photos or licensed images. We also create AI-generated images and video for websites and marketing, which can fill gaps where a shoot is not practical.
If that sounds like the kind of web design partner you want, get in touch.
