Web design in Sheffield. WordPress, done properly.

Bespoke WordPress websites for Sheffield businesses that expect things made properly. Built by one small team forty minutes up the road, without a city-centre studio's overheads in the price.

12+ Years working with WordPress, and nothing else
100% Of the businesses in our portfolio are still clients
£2.1M+ Tracked through client sites in 2025

A maker’s city, held to a maker’s standard.

From Kelham Island breweries to Ecclesall Road independents, Sheffield backs things that are made properly. Websites included.

Sheffield’s business scene runs wider than any city its size: advanced manufacturing research out at the AMRC, generations-old steel and toolmaking firms, and a fierce independent culture through Kelham Island, Division Street and Sharrow Vale. It’s a city that respects things built well and spots things built cheaply.

It’s also a crowded digital market, with the day rates and waiting lists that come with one. Being forty minutes up the road in Doncaster keeps our overheads out of your quote without keeping us out of your meetings.

So we build to the city’s standard: bespoke WordPress design around your brand, quick on a phone, and structured so people searching in Sheffield, Hillsborough and Ecclesall actually find you. When you're ready to chase search properly, our SEO service carries it on, and care plans or website management keep the thing you paid for working like new.

We build here, too. Quickpickings, a Sheffield locksmith, runs on a full rebuild we designed and built with local search at its heart, structured for every part of the city their vans cover.

The Sheffield search picture

The city behaves like a dozen villages. Hillsborough, Ecclesall, Crookes, Woodseats and Chapeltown each search like separate towns, and proximity decides the map results in each one. Ranking city-wide and being found street-level are different jobs.

A crowded first page. Commercial Sheffield searches are heavily contested, and speed and structure still separate page one from the rest. Both are buildable advantages.

Steel-city B2B buys online now. The manufacturing supply chain procures by search and shortlist, and a works with a thirty-year name still gets vetted through its website before the first phone call.

Judge us on our work.

Five of our builds, and the job each one was hired to do. If you make or sell things, start with ECG Training: a WooCommerce automation that doubled sales without a single ad.

“Nothing has been too much trouble and the support and knowledge is second to none.”

Tom Green, Greenline Accountants

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.

Six promises, in writing.

Six commitments in writing. In a city with this many agencies, the shortlist question isn't who promises what, it's who puts it in the contract.

WordPress only

Twelve years of one platform, on purpose.

Fixed price

What we quote is what you pay.

No tie-in

Month to month, with 30 days' notice.

You own it all

Your site, code, content and hosting.

Never outsourced

The people you meet do the work.

We stick around

Launch is the start of the job, not the end.

What a website costs.

No packages. A Kelham Island brewery and a Dronfield fabricator don't need the same website, so we price the job in front of us.

£2,500 A focused site doing one job well
£15,000 A multi-system build with custom development

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.

Paying for the build

One fixed figure, invoiced in stages, with 30 days of support included.

If cash flow is the constraint, the same build spreads over 12, 24 or 36 months.

From first conversation to launch.

Four stages from first conversation to launch. Sheffield is close enough that the key ones can happen in person.

Discovery

Your business, your customers, a clear spec and an honest timeline.

Design & build

Designed and built from scratch, with feedback at every stage.

Test & train

Tested on real devices, then your team trained to run it.

Launch & beyond

Live, watched closely, with 30 days of support included.

Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope.

The right fit

We're picky, on purpose.

We take on a few projects at a time and do them properly, which means being straight about fit in both directions.

You're in the right place if

  • An established business, outgrown DIY
  • You see the site as a tool for work
  • You want a partner after launch
  • You'll share how the business ticks

We're probably not your people if

  • A £500 quick fix or a site by Friday
  • Set on Wix, Shopify or Squarespace
  • Chasing the cheapest of five quotes
  • You'd rather not talk about the business

On the fence? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.

Questions people actually ask.

Straight answers to what Sheffield businesses ask when they're comparing us with city agencies.

£2,500 to £15,000 covers nearly everything we build, without a city studio's overheads inside the number. A Sheffield maker wanting a credible trade site sits low in the range; WooCommerce, bookings or system integrations move it up. The figure is fixed after one conversation, and pay monthly website design spreads it if that's the better shape.

All the time, and there's Sheffield work you can inspect: Quickpickings, the city locksmith firm, trades on a full rebuild of ours with local search at the heart of it. Sheffield is forty minutes up the road, so kick-off happens across a table whenever you'd rather, with calls and email in between.

Because you're buying the build, not the postcode. The work above competes with city studios on quality, our overheads don't reach your quote, and we're forty minutes away when a meeting needs a table.

Yes. Sheffield behaves like a dozen villages online, so the build is structured for the areas you actually serve as well as the city, with the speed and signals Google rewards. Our SEO service then pushes it month to month when you're ready.

Yes, if it's structured for it. Proper pages for the areas and services that matter, rather than a footer full of place names, are what let you show up in Hillsborough or Ecclesall searches as well as the city centre.

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.
