Web design in Birmingham
We are not in Birmingham and we will not pretend to be. We are in Southampton, and we work with Birmingham businesses over the phone, on video and on WhatsApp. That works because we build your site first and you look at it before you pay anything, so you are never taking a stranger's word for it. What we do need to get right is Birmingham itself, and that starts with knowing it is not one market.
Most sites we replace in Birmingham are slow, five years old, and built on a template the owner cannot edit. We write ours from scratch so there is nothing to bloat it.
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.
- One clear price up front. Builds from £395, and shops or apps are quoted on the job
- 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
- A free preview of your own site inside 48 hours, before you pay anything
- Set up so Google can read it: titles, descriptions, schema, the lot
- No page builder and no bought theme, so there is nothing in it to slow it down
The Birmingham businesses we build for most
Birmingham is too big to talk about as one place. The Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, the Balti Triangle and Sutton Coldfield have almost nothing in common as markets, and the websites that work in each look different.
Jewellers and makers in the Jewellery Quarter
The Quarter is full of independent jewellers, many with their own workshops, all within a few streets of each other around St Paul's and Vyse Street. Your customer can walk past twenty of you in an afternoon. The site has to do what the window cannot: show the bench, the process and the finished ring close up, so the engagement ring search ends with your name rather than the shop next door.
Food, salons and independents in the neighbourhoods
Ladypool Road and Stoney Lane in the Balti Triangle, the high streets in Moseley, Kings Heath and Harborne, the units around the Custard Factory in Digbeth. These are neighbourhood businesses in a city of a million people. Your customer is searching from two streets away, so a menu or price list that opens on a phone and a map pin in the right place matter more than anything clever.
Trades working one side of the city
Almost no builder, roofer or plumber covers all of Birmingham. You work Sutton Coldfield and Erdington, or Edgbaston and Harborne, or Hall Green and Solihull. A site that just says Birmingham competes with every firm in the city. A site that names the districts you actually drive to competes with the handful who work the same patch.
More on this: websites for barbers and salons.
What you are actually up against in Birmingham
In a city this size, the first page for any trade is crowded. Checkatrade, Yell and the other directories take the top spots, and below them sit firms with big budgets and area pages for every postcode from B1 to Sutton. If you try to beat them on the word Birmingham alone, you will spend a lot and lose.
The better fight is local. Birmingham people search by district, and Sutton Coldfield in particular sees itself as its own Royal Town, not a suburb. Get into the map box for the three or four districts you really cover, have a page that says so plainly, and let a directory keep the citywide search it paid for. Your phone rings from the streets you want to work in.
Who we have actually built for near Birmingham
Fair question on a page like this: have we actually done any of it near here. Here is the closest live client to Birmingham we can put a name to.
PK Removals, Leicester
A Leicester removals firm with 61+ five-star Yell reviews. The site puts that rating up front, gives house moves, piano work and long-distance jobs their own pages, adds six town pages for local search, and is wired with click-to-call so an enquiry is one tap.
Leicester is 33 miles from Birmingham in a straight line.
Live on their own domain at pkremovals.uk, and we have written the whole job up: read the PK Removals case study.
You can check the rest the same way: our work page names every live client and the town they trade in, and labels every concept build as a concept, so you can tell at a glance which is which.

Web Design in Birmingham: 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.
Will it work properly on a phone?
It is built for the phone first, because that is where people look a business up. Every page is written by hand, so there is no page builder weighing it down, and your number, your WhatsApp and your quote form sit on every screen.
Why would a Birmingham business use a studio that is not in Birmingham?
Only if you like what you see. We build a real preview of your site before you pay anything, so you judge us on the work and not on our postcode. Everything else happens on the phone, on video and on WhatsApp. If you would rather have someone who can sit in your shop on Vyse Street or your yard in Erdington, there are plenty of Birmingham agencies, and we would not blame you.
