Bespoke WordPress websites for Derby businesses whose customers read everything like a datasheet. Precision city, precision build.
The city that makes jet engines and trains has no patience for flimsy. Derby websites get read by engineers.
Derby makes some of the most demanding machinery on earth: aero engines, trains, and the deep supply chain of precision firms that feed both. Alongside the big names sits the Cathedral Quarter’s independent scene and a professional services base serving the whole county. It’s a city where good enough famously isn’t.
Engineering cultures procure carefully. The specifier or buyer assessing your firm reads your website the way they read a datasheet: for evidence, not decoration. A slow, dated site fails that reading before your capability ever gets considered.
So we build to spec: bespoke WordPress design around your brand, quick on a phone, and structured so people searching in Derby, Belper and Mickleover actually find you. Ranking work continues through our SEO service, and care plans or website management maintain the asset to the standard it was built to.
The supply chain procures by search. Buyers and specifiers across the city's engineering base shortlist suppliers online before any conversation. Your website is read as evidence of process, not decoration.
The suburbs are separate maps. Mickleover, Allestree, Chaddesden and Belper up the valley all search like their own towns. Local structure decides whether the whole city can find you or just your own postcode.
Nottingham competes for everything. Twin-city searches overlap constantly, and the better website usually takes the enquiry regardless of which side of the border it sits. That cuts both ways, which is the point.
Five of our builds, and the job each one was hired to do. ACR is the one to study here: a CRM integration engineered properly, admin halved as a result.
“Nothing has been too much trouble and the support and knowledge is second to none.”

Every business in our portfolio is still a client. That is the argument for spending properly once, with people who will still be here in three years.
No packages. A Sadler Gate independent and a supply-chain machine shop don't need the same website, so the range below is priced per job.
How many jobs the site has to do.
Whether you're selling online.
What it has to talk to: CRM, ERP, bookings.
How much of it there is.
Whether the content already exists.

Your business, your customers, a clear spec and an honest timeline.
Designed and built from scratch, with feedback at every stage.
Tested on real devices, then your team trained to run it.

Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope.
On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.
"Within two weeks of Pixelish going live, we were on page 2 of Google in a major city with no extra ad spend, something I'd been told would take a year and a big budget. Genuinely impressed."
"Had an email and domain problem that others couldn't diagnose. Pixelish found and fixed it straight away, extremely helpful and quick. Highly recommend."
"Brilliant! Very quick. Always on hand to help. Everything runs smoothly. Would highly recommend"
"Great service and fluid works. Rebuilt my under perfoming website from the ground up in what seemed like no time at all. Really easy to work with. Informative. Professional. Highly recommend. And doesn't mind tweeking bits to suit your needs."
"ALWAYS impressed with the level of website support provided. Consistent turnaround times, clear advice and great customer service :)."
The working range is £2,500 to £15,000, specified like anything else in this city: by requirements. Capability sites for supply-chain firms sit mid-range; brochure builds lower; integrations push higher. The quote is a fixed figure agreed after one conversation, and pay monthly website design amortises the same build if preferred.
Yes. Derby is just over an hour away, which in practice means kick-off and key reviews in person and everything else on calls and email, exactly as it works for clients ten minutes from the studio. No project has ever noticed the mileage.
Evidence over adjectives. Real capability pages, real photography, accreditations where they can be checked, and speed that suggests competence. Engineers distrust gloss and reward clarity, so that's what we build.
Yes. The build carries the technical signals Google reads, structured for the city and its suburbs from Mickleover to Allestree, and written plainly enough for an engineer to trust. Sustained ranking work is our SEO service, month to month.
Kick-off and key reviews in person, everything else on calls and email, same as clients ten minutes away. The distance has never cost a project anything, and it keeps a city agency's overheads out of your quote.
No. Everything is designed and built by our own team in Doncaster. The person you meet at the start is the person building your site.
Thirty days of support is included. After that most clients move onto a care plan, which runs month to month with 30 days' notice. There's no obligation, but almost everyone stays, which we think says more than we could.
Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope. We'll give you an honest timeline before we start. If you need something live by Friday, we're genuinely not the right fit.
One small team in Doncaster, building for businesses across Yorkshire and the East Midlands. If another town is closer to home, start there.

State the requirement, plainly: what the site must do, who it serves, what it connects to. You'll have a considered reply within one working day.
