Web design in Bath
We are not in Bath. We are a small studio in Southampton and we work with Bath businesses by phone, video and WhatsApp. To make that fair, we build your site first and you see it before paying anything. Bath is a city where doing it properly matters more than almost anywhere, and a website has to prove that you do.
We write every site by hand. No page builder, no forty plugins, no theme somebody else in Bath is already using.
A website that does one job: get the phone to ring
This is the whole job, written down so you can hold us to it.
- No page builder and no bought theme, so there is nothing in it to slow it down
- Set up so Google can read it: titles, descriptions, schema, the lot
- Your number, your WhatsApp and your quote form on every single screen
- Every page written by hand, so it loads in under two seconds on 4G
- Live on your own domain, with the email and DNS moved for you
- Photos of your own work, sized properly so they do not crawl on mobile
The Bath businesses we build for most
Bath is a World Heritage city with around 5,000 listed buildings, nearly all in Bath stone. Round it are the student streets of Oldfield Park and the villages of the Avon valley. Most trade work here is about old buildings and the rules that come with them.
Stonemasons and heritage builders
Checkatrade lists only a handful of stonemasons for Bath, and the FMB and MyBuilder fill the rest of the page. A customer with a listed house needs to know you understand lime, Bath stone and listed building consent. Show conservation work, name your qualifications, and you are talking to exactly the person searching.
Landlord trades in Oldfield Park
Oldfield Park has long been Bath's main student area, and since 2013 an Article 4 direction has limited new shared houses there. The existing ones still need gas, electrical and fire safety checks every year. Trades who serve Bath landlords should say so plainly, with a page just for them.
Shops, cafes and holiday lets
Bath's visitors keep its independents going, from Walcot Street to Widcombe. Holiday lets and small guest houses pay the big platforms for every booking. A site with good photos and a direct booking route pays for itself in returning guests who come straight to you.
More on this: websites for builders and websites for shops.
What you are actually up against in Bath
For heritage trades, the first page is trade associations and directories, then a few well-known Bath masonry and building firms. For everyday trades, add Bristol firms who list Bath as one of many areas. Bath is also a name shared with places in the US and elsewhere, so a site needs to say Bath and North East Somerset, BA postcodes and the districts it covers.
The opening is specialism. A Bath firm with a fast site that shows real listed building work, explains the consent side in plain English, and names Widcombe, Larkhall, Weston and Combe Down is going to look far more credible than a Bristol firm with a Bath page. In a city this particular about its buildings, that credibility is the whole sale.

Web Design in Bath: three questions we get asked
Do you use templates or a page builder?
No. Every page is written by hand for your business, which is a large part of why it loads quickly on a phone. There is no bought theme underneath it and no builder subscription to keep paying.
Do I pay anything before I see the site?
No. We build a real preview of your site first, inside 48 hours, and send you the link. Like it and we take it live, and that is when you pay. If it is not for you, you owe nothing and that is the end of it.
How can you show heritage work properly without visiting?
By using yours. Send us photos of listed jobs, the consents you have worked under and your qualifications, and we build the site around them. We are in Southampton, so it is all on the phone, video and WhatsApp. You see the finished site on a link before you pay, so you can judge whether it does your work justice.
