Web design in Shrewsbury.

Web design · Shrewsbury

I'm a web designer just up the road in Telford, about 20 minutes away, so I'm close enough to meet Shrewsbury business owners face to face over a coffee. And I do things the fair way round: I build you a free working demo before you pay a penny. Love it, and it is £149 a month with a three month minimum, £447 in total, hosted and looked after.

A web designer on Shrewsbury's doorstep

Telford to Shrewsbury is a short hop up the A5 and M54, roughly 12 miles, which means I can actually come to you. A coffee, a proper chat and a photo walk of the business beats a fortnight of emails every time. You get someone local you can shake hands with, not a faceless agency in another city sending invoices from three counties away.

Being close by matters more than people think. When something needs changing, or you want to talk through an idea before the wedding season or the Christmas market rush, I'm a quick drive away rather than a support ticket in a queue.

Built for how Shrewsbury actually trades

Works so much better on mobile devices as to what it was before
Liam Walker Aqua Glaze, exterior cleaning · Google review

Shrewsbury is a medieval market town that lives on its independents. The River Severn loops almost the whole way around the centre, and the streets inside that loop are where the character sits: the boutiques, cafes and delis climbing Wyle Cop, the shops along Pride Hill, and the narrow medieval shuts you duck through to find the places locals love. Trade here runs on footfall, personality and word of mouth.

On top of that there's the visitor economy. People come for the castle, Shrewsbury Abbey, and a slow afternoon in the Quarry park and the Dingle, then go looking for somewhere to eat, drink or stay, usually on their phone, usually right that minute. Meanwhile the professional services, studios and trades over in Frankwell and the business parks are chasing a different kind of enquiry entirely.

So a Shrewsbury site has a double job. It has to reassure the local who already half-knows you, and it has to win the visitor Googling "best lunch near the castle" on the day. I build with both readers in mind, so your site works whether someone found you through a friend or through a search two minutes ago.

Three ways to get a website in Shrewsbury.

There are no rival prices in this table, because I cannot know what anyone else would charge you. What it compares is how each of the three routes actually works once you are in it.

How the three routes compare on six points, for a Shrewsbury website. The table scrolls sideways on a phone.

How it works.

  1. Tell me about your business

    A quick note on what you do and what you'd want the site to achieve. That's all I need to start.

    10 minutes
  2. I build your demo, free

    A real, working version of your site on a live link, designed around your business.

    7–10 working days
  3. Review it on a real link

    Test it on your phone, share it around. Happy to meet up in Shrewsbury to walk through it.

    As long as you need
  4. Love it, and it's yours

    £149 a month, three month minimum, then an optional £149 a month, then we go live on your domain. No pressure if it's not for you.

    Live within a week
  5. After three months it is yours

    Three payments of £149, £447 in total, and the files are yours to keep. Stay on the plan and I host it and look after it. Leave, and you still keep the website.

    Month 3 onward

Shrewsbury questions, answered.

Are you actually based in Shrewsbury?

I'm based in Telford, about 20 minutes up the A5 from Shrewsbury. I work with Shrewsbury businesses regularly and I'm happy to meet you in town, so you get someone local you can actually sit down with, not a faceless agency in another city.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. Telford to Shrewsbury is a short hop, so I'm happy to come to you for a coffee, walk the business and take a few photos. Meeting in person almost always makes for a better site than working over email alone.

How much does a website cost?

There's no big lump sum. I build a working demo of your site first, for free, so you only pay once you've seen it and love it. Then it is £149 a month with a three month minimum, £447 in total, and the website is yours, finished and on your own domain. After that it's your choice: £149 a month for me to host it and look after everything (hosting, security, unlimited changes, SEO and speed), or host it yourself. Three month minimum, then it is entirely your call.

Is there a minimum term?

Yes. If you'd rather have it all handled from day one, it's simply £149 a month straight up and we get going: the build, hosting, unlimited changes, SEO and support are all included. You still see your free demo first, and you can cancel any time after the first three months.

Will my Shrewsbury business show up on Google?

Every build includes proper technical SEO, and I'll help set up your Google Business Profile and reviews, which is what really drives the local map pack. I'll always be honest: ranking builds over time rather than overnight, but a fast, well-structured site aimed at Shrewsbury searches gives you the best possible start.

Fancy seeing your Shrewsbury site, free?

Tell me a little about your business. I'll tell you honestly whether I can make it better, and then prove it by building the real thing for free.

I reply the same day. Prefer email or a call? hello@elev8depictions.com · 07854 114975
