Imagine winning the click in a city where six competitors sit on the very same page.
A Nottingham website built to convert, because looking good is where the job starts, not ends.
Picture a website that closes for you, a stranger from Beeston or West Bridgford lands on it, trusts you inside a few seconds, and reaches for the phone before they've even scrolled to the bottom. That's what a website is supposed to do. Most don't.
We build web design for small businesses in Nottingham that earns its keep: fast, sharp on a phone, and set up so people can actually find you. A salesperson that never sleeps, rather than an expensive online business card.
We work with businesses right across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, from West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Carlton and out across the NG postcodes.
A good-looking site that nobody can find does nothing for your business. In a market as busy as Nottingham, the site that loads first and reads clearly on a phone wins the enquiry. Every build starts there. Here’s the kind of shift that makes.
Position 22, on a site that loaded slowly and broke on a phone. In a market this competitive that’s invisible. Plenty of effort, no enquiries.
Rebuilt lean and mobile-first, the same business climbed to position 1 in a genuinely contested market. Around 30% of searchers now land on a site that converts.
Before, 3 of every 100 searchers were reaching this client. After a site built fast, mobile-ready and found, 35 out of 100 do. Same business, same market, a website finally earning its keep.
START A CONVERSATIONWe build the other way round, judged on whether the site brings enquiries from NG postcodes, sells things or books appointments. Looking the part comes as standard; earning its keep is the bit we care about. Built for speed, mobile-first, fast-loading, no hidden fees, and yours to keep at the end of it.
Every build is designed for the desktop and the phone at once, fast, clean and made to turn visitors into enquiries.
We build for speed first. Every site is optimised to load in around a second, score highly on Core Web Vitals, and stay fast as it grows. Depending on what you need, that’s a lightweight static build or a WordPress site you can edit yourself, never a bloated theme that drags your rankings down.
Whether you need a simple five-page brochure site, a service business with online booking, a trades site that turns local searches into phone calls, or a full online shop, we build it fast and optimised, static or WordPress, whichever genuinely suits the job.
The design is bespoke. None of our sites looks like a cookie-cutter template, because they aren’t: we design around what your business does, who your customers are, and what you want them to do on the page.
Three things separate a website that works from one that just exists: it loads fast, it works as it should be on a phone, and it stands a chance of being found on Google.
Speed matters because nobody waits. Four seconds on 4G and half your visitors are gone, straight to the Nottingham competitor whose site loaded first. We build lean code, compressed images and hosting that doesn’t crawl.
Mobile matters because that’s where nearly all your visitors are, and in Nottingham they’ll try the next result in seconds. Every site ships with clean URLs, on-page basics and the technical foundations local SEO needs.
No mystery, no fluff, here's what you actually get when you work with us.
Some agencies build on platforms that quietly lock you in, proprietary builders, hosting you can’t take with you, a CMS only they can edit. Decide to switch, and you find out you don’t really own much.
Ours aren’t like that. Your site, your domain, hosting that’s ours or yours, your call, and full access. If you ever wanted to walk, you’d take everything with you.
It’s a small detail that says a lot about how an agency works. The ones who lock clients in usually have a reason. We don’t.
A lot of our work is small business web design: sole traders, family firms, people who’ve outgrown a site built years ago and are now losing work to slicker Nottingham competitors.
We do plenty for tradespeople: electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, landscapers covering the NG postcodes who want a site that turns a local search into a phone call and then stays out of the way.
And we work with bigger outfits too: Nottingham firms with real marketing departments, multi-site operations, e-commerce that needs to shift product. The same care goes into a £1,500 brochure site as a £15,000 build, the brief just gets bigger.
A phone or video call, or face-to-face if you’re nearby. What your business does, who you sell to, what’s not working now, and what success looks like for the new site. No charge, no commitment.
What we’d build, why, how long it takes and what it costs. No jargon, no hidden extras. You’ll know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you agree to it.
Design first, sign off, then development. We show you progress at clear stages so there are no surprises. Most sites take four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch.
We handle going live, then you’re in control. Manage it yourself (we’ll show you how) or let us handle updates, hosting and maintenance. No long contracts, no hidden retainers.
If you have been quoted four figures for a small business website in Nottingham, take a breath. Affordable web design here starts at five hundred pounds, half now and half when you go live, with everything you need to get found built into that one price. No retainers, no drip-fed invoices, no surprises.
Most people will not wait for a slow website, they just hit back and try the next one. Every site we build for Nottingham businesses is made to load in under a second and to hit top Google PageSpeed scores, so you keep the visitors you have worked hard to earn.
Working with Darren has been an absolute pleasure. Professional, creative, and his technical expertise exceeded all expectations. He’s changed our website completely and we’ve had so much feedback and leads since.
By far the best referral I’ve ever had. Completely hassle free, transformed our website, traffic, rating and emails. Nothing is ever too much, and everything moved so smoothly you wouldn’t have known anything was happening.
Used Design Lincs for our web design and SEO and couldn’t be happier. Done quickly but at an amazing standard. Great service, would absolutely recommend.
From the first call they actually listened to what we wanted, and the finished site looks miles better than before. Quick to respond, fair on price, and sorted a couple of tweaks after launch without any fuss.
They didn’t just make it look nicer; they thought about how customers use the site and rebuilt it around that. Brilliant communication throughout, a massive step up. Highly recommend.
They built us a new website and took over our digital marketing, and the difference has been night and day. Our calls are up and the whole experience was easy. Highly recommended.
It depends on the brief. A five-page site for a sole trader in Nottinghamshire is a different league to a multi-section build with online booking, a blog and a CRM behind it. You’ll always get a clear, written quote up front, no “starting from” figures that triple once you’ve signed off. Most of our small business sites land between a few hundred pounds at the basic end and several thousand for fuller builds.
Most projects run four to eight weeks from sign-off to launch. The biggest variable isn’t us, it’s how fast your content comes back: text, photos, logos. If you’ve got everything ready, we move fast. If you need help with copy or photography, we can sort that, and the timeline stretches a bit. Either way you’ll get a realistic timescale in writing first.
Yes. When your site is built on WordPress you’ll be able to edit text, swap images, add pages, run a blog, and update services and prices, all without needing us. We’ll walk you through it after launch. If you’d rather we handled it, that’s available, but it’s your call, not a contractual obligation.
Either. We offer fast, UK-based hosting at sensible monthly rates if you’d like everything in one place. Or host with whoever you like and we’ll set things up there. Some clients prefer keeping it separate, either way works.
Often, yes. If the bones of your current site are reasonable, a redesign is usually quicker and cheaper than a full rebuild. If it’s on a slow, bloated platform that’s holding you back, or so out of date that patching costs more than starting fresh, we’ll tell you straight. We won’t sell you a rebuild you don’t need.
A quick message or a phone call, no obligation, no jargon, and we'll come back with a straight answer on which channels actually make sense for you and what they'd cost.
