Web design for Formby businesses

Our Web Design Services

Custom Website Design

We create bespoke websites that truly reflect your business and its values. Our designs are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly, ensuring that visitors can easily navigate your site and find what they’re looking for.

Website Redesign

If your current website feels outdated or isn’t performing as expected, we can help. We’ll take the time to understand what isn’t working and redesign your site with improved functionality and a fresh new look.

Responsive Web Design

The design should adapt to phone, tablet and desktop screens. Testing should cover the actual customer tasks as well as appearance: readable content, usable navigation, accessible fields, clear errors and successful enquiry delivery. Agree any specialist device or accessibility requirements in the project scope.

SEO Optimised Websites

Useful service information, descriptive titles and headings, internal links and sound technical foundations help customers and search engines understand a website. Ranking and traffic are not guaranteed. Agree the SEO work included in your quote separately from ongoing content or marketing activity.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

WordPress can provide flexible content editing where it fits the project. Agree the editing tasks, training, account ownership and handover you need. Hosting, paid licences, updates and ongoing maintenance should have named responsibilities and clearly stated costs rather than being assumed included.

Compare the WordPress platform trade-offs before choosing the foundation.

Why Choose Formby Web Design?

A useful project starts with the business and its customers, not a feature catalogue. Tell us what you offer, who the website should reach and what is not working on your current site. Keep the brief focused on the outcome the website needs to support.

Plan the project before the build

  1. Brief: identify the audience, customer action and existing website constraints.
  2. Agreed scope: record pages, functionality, content ownership, costs and approval points in the proposal.
  3. Content and design: prepare accurate copy and permitted photographs, then review the page journeys.
  4. Build and checks: test navigation, forms and any agreed booking or commerce integrations.
  5. Launch and handover: confirm access, renewal responsibilities and the support arrangement.

This is a project-planning outline, not a fixed package or delivery-time promise. Your quote should specify the actual deliverables and responsibilities.

What affects a website quote?

The number and complexity of pages, available copy/photos, custom functionality, integrations and migration requirements affect the work. Hosting, licence renewals and maintenance can be separate costs. Use our designer and quote comparison checklist to assess proposals consistently.

Questions to settle in the brief

  • Moving an existing site? Include its address, platform and access constraints so migration can be assessed.
  • Who supplies content? Agree copy, photography and approval responsibilities before design starts.
  • Who owns the accounts? Record domain, hosting, website and licence ownership in the handover plan.
  • What happens after launch? Confirm updates, backups, form checks and support scope in writing.

Discuss your website

Send Formby Web Design a project enquiry. Include your current website if you have one, business location, services, required customer action and intended launch date. We can then discuss the scope and next steps without assuming a one-size-fits-all package.
