Website Design UK Built to work,
not just to look good
Buyers check your website before they call, and a slow or dated site loses them before you know they were there. We design and build fast, SEO-optimised websites for businesses across the UK from Telford, Shropshire, with every project led by Tony Cooper from the first call to launch.
What we build
Not every business needs the same website. These are the three we deliver, and we will tell you which one fits your situation.
Business websites
Websites for service businesses, consultancies and local trades: fast, mobile-ready and built on SEO foundations so that Google can find you. This is what most businesses need.
- Sub-second page loads
- Mobile-first responsive design
- Contact forms and lead capture
- SEO foundations built in
Online shops
Full ecommerce on Shopify, with inventory, payments and shipping in one place. This is what we recommend for businesses selling physical products. We also run ecommerce sites of our own, so every recommendation has our own money behind it.
- Built-in payment processing
- Inventory and order management
- Shipping integration (Royal Mail, DPD, Evri)
- Product catalogues of any size
Local business sites
For trades, local services and any business that needs to be found in its area: Google Business Profile setup, local SEO and a site that turns browsers into enquiries. We are based in Telford, Shropshire, and serve businesses across the UK.
- Google Business Profile optimisation
- Local SEO targeting your service area
- Click-to-call and enquiry forms
- Review integration and trust signals
What makes our websites different
A website is judged by what it brings in. This is how we build ours to do that.
One lead, start to finish
Strategy, design, development, SEO and launch all run under the same lead, Tony Cooper, so the decisions made at the start still hold at launch. When you call, you reach the person accountable for your site.
Platforms chosen to last
We have built through osCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento and WooCommerce, and watched which platforms lasted and which left their owners stranded. That record decides what we build your site on, so you are not paying for a rebuild in three years' time.
Recommendations that fit
We will tell you if a full custom build isn't what you need. We would rather build what fits the business than sell you infrastructure you will never use.
SEO built in, not bolted on
Every site we build includes proper SEO foundations: structured data, clean URLs, fast page speeds, mobile optimisation and a keyword-targeted content structure. A beautiful site that nobody can find is money wasted.
Real projects, not mockups
Escudero Auto: a B2B manufacturing site
A 3D printing and rapid prototyping business in Newport, Shropshire. Built on Astro for sub-second load times and aimed at specialist B2B searches such as PEEK and carbon fibre printing, with a 99/100 PageSpeed score. It is the kind of site that builds trust before a prospect picks up the phone.
Luxury ecommerce of our own
We built six luxury home ecommerce sites of our own, across garden furniture, indoor furniture, office, candles, lighting and rugs: high average order values, dropship fulfilment and an SEO strategy for each vertical. What we recommend to clients, we have tested with our own money first.
The technology stack
Three tools used well, rather than thirty used badly. Each one earns its place.
Astro
Most business websites are mainly content: service pages, about pages and articles. Astro delivers page speeds that WordPress and Wix cannot match, and sub-second loads mean better Google rankings and fewer lost visitors.
Shopify
Our choice of ecommerce platform for UK businesses. It handles payments, shipping, inventory and tax compliance, and it is PCI compliant. We don't fight the platform; we build on what it does well.
Stripe
For businesses that need payment processing without full ecommerce: one-off payments, subscriptions and payment links. Stripe integrates with any site we build and charges less than PayPal for UK transactions.
What we don't build on: WordPress, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace or page builders. They are not inherently bad, but they carry technical debt that costs you money over time. We have watched too many businesses outgrow them and pay twice, once to build and once to migrate.
Website design pricing
Published prices, with no hidden fees and no surprise invoice at the end.
Ecommerce / Shopify
Full online stores with checkout
one-off build
spread the cost, same result
- Custom Shopify theme design
- Product setup and configuration
- Payment and shipping integration
- SEO setup and structured data
- Training and 30 days support
- Mobile responsive design
Not sure which route is right?
The answer depends on what your business does and what you need the site to achieve. We will talk it through with you on a call, without a hard sell, and if you don't need an ecommerce site, we will say so. We are based in Telford, Shropshire, and serve businesses across the UK.
How we work
No mystery and no jargon: four steps from the first conversation to a live site.
A conversation
We learn your business, your customers and what you need the site to do. That conversation sets the scope and the price.
We build
Design, development, content structure and SEO foundations. You see progress throughout, not a big reveal at the end.
You review
Walk through every page, test the forms and check it on your phone. Adjustments happen here, before launch, not after.
Launch and support
Go live with training and ongoing support included, and a retainer if you want continued SEO and development.

"I originally reached out to Tony to help with SEO but unfortunately my website crashed to a point where I thought it was beyond repair. I was panicking and didn't know what to do when Tony asked if I would allow him to help me recover my website. After a very long few weeks I got a message from Tony telling me my website is back up and running."
