Web design

Custom web design that turns visitors into enquiries

Pettifer Works provides custom web design for UK businesses from £250 — mobile-first, conversion-focused layouts, no templates. Based in Colchester, Essex with managed hosting from £15/month.

Your website is often the first impression customers get of your business. We design sites that look sharp, feel trustworthy, and guide people toward the action you want — whether that is a quote request, a phone call, or a booking.

Custom business website development for trades and local services in the UK

Who is this for?

Web design is the right fit when you need a site that reflects your brand and converts — not a generic template that looks like everyone else.

Who it is for

Web design is the right fit when you need a site that reflects your brand and converts — not a generic template that looks like everyone else.

  • UK businesses launching their first professional website
  • Companies whose current site looks dated or off-brand
  • Service businesses that need clear paths to enquiry
  • Owners who want design input before development begins

The problem

A weak design costs you leads

Visitors decide in seconds whether to stay or leave. Cluttered layouts, inconsistent branding, and confusing navigation push people away before they ever contact you.

  • Your site looks generic or homemade compared to competitors
  • Mobile visitors struggle to read content or tap buttons
  • There is no clear call-to-action on key pages
  • Brand colours, fonts, and tone are inconsistent
  • You are embarrassed to share your URL with prospects

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you design from scratch or use templates?

+
Every design is bespoke to your brand. We do not resell generic WordPress themes — layouts, typography, and visual direction are tailored to your business.

Will I see designs before anything is built?

+
Yes. We share wireframes and visual mockups for approval before development starts, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Can you work with my existing brand guidelines?

+
Absolutely. If you have logos, colours, and fonts already, we build around them. If not, we help define a cohesive visual direction.

Is web design included in your pricing plans?

+
Yes — design is part of every build. Small Site from £250 and Professional from £999 both include custom design scoped to the plan.
