Web design in Leicester
We are not based in Leicester. We are in Southampton and we work with Leicester businesses over the phone, on video and on WhatsApp. You see a working preview of your site before you pay anything, which is the only honest way for a studio this far away to earn the job.
We write every site by hand. No page builder, no forty plugins, no theme somebody else in Leicester is already using.
A website that does one job: get the phone to ring
A plain list, no sales talk. This is what you are paying for.
- One clear price up front. Builds from £395, and shops or apps are quoted on the job
- Your number, your WhatsApp and your quote form on every single screen
- Photos of your own work, sized properly so they do not crawl on mobile
- Live on your own domain, with the email and DNS moved for you
- Every page written by hand, so it loads in under two seconds on 4G
- Set up so Google can read it: titles, descriptions, schema, the lot
The Leicester businesses we build for most
Leicester has two of the most distinctive shopping streets in the country, Belgrave Road and Narborough Road, and around them the usual spread of trades working the suburbs and the county towns just outside the city.
Jewellers and bridal on the Golden Mile
Belgrave Road is lined with jewellers, sari shops and sweet centres, many of them family firms that have been there for decades. Customers come from well beyond Leicester for a wedding set, and they compare shops online before the drive. A site that shows real pieces, clear photos and opening hours around Diwali gets the visit. A Facebook page alone often does not.
Independents on Narborough Road
Narborough Road is a mile and a half of food shops, grocers, hardware and phone shops run by owners from all over the world. Most of the trade is walk-in, but the customer who has not found you yet searches in English and sometimes in another language. A simple site with the right words on it gets you found for both.
Trades covering the city and the county edge
Builders, roofers and electricians here rarely stop at the city boundary. Oadby, Wigston, Birstall and Glenfield are separate councils but the same customer base. A site that names those places properly picks up the searches a city-only site misses.
What you are actually up against in Leicester
For trades, Leicester looks like most cities: directories at the top, a few bigger firms with money behind them, then local businesses further down with sites that were never set up for a phone. For the Belgrave Road shops it is different. There, the competition is often the shop three doors down, and whoever has the better photos and the clearer information online tends to get the out-of-town visitor.
Either way, the gap is the same. Most of the small Leicester businesses we look at are either not in the map box at all or are in it with a listing that sends people to a dead link. Fixing that, with a fast site that says what you sell and where you are, is most of the job.
Who we have actually built for near Leicester
This one is right here in Leicester, and you can go and open the site yourself.
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.
Live on their own domain at pkremovals.uk, and we have written the whole job up: read the PK Removals case study.
If that one is not close enough to what you do, our work page lists the rest with the town each is in. Only signed, live jobs are listed there as clients, and every concept build is labelled as a concept.

Web Design in Leicester: three questions we get asked
What happens once the site is live?
That is up to you. If you want us to keep looking after it, that is a care plan, at £45, £85 or £150 a month, and you can stop whenever you like. What each plan covers is on the care plan page.
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.
Can the site work for customers who search in Gujarati or Punjabi as well as English?
Yes. We can add a second language to the pages that matter, or just make sure the names people actually type are on the page. You tell us how your customers find you, we build it that way, and you see the preview before you pay. All of it is done by phone, video and WhatsApp, because we are not in Leicester.
