Web Design Services for Growing Businesses — Fast, SEO-Ready Websites That Convert

We primarily build on WordPress with the Flatsome theme and UX Builder — the same stack powering arbdigital.agency, our own agency website. WordPress powers 43% of all websites globally and is our recommended platform for most business types because of its unmatched SEO capability, content management flexibility, and enormous plugin ecosystem. Flatsome is the highest-rated WooCommerce theme on ThemeForest, with excellent performance characteristics and a powerful drag-and-drop builder. We can also work with other WordPress themes and page builders on request.

A Starter (5-page) website typically takes 3–4 weeks from deposit to delivery. A Professional (10-page) site takes 4–6 weeks. Enterprise projects (20+ pages with custom functionality) take 8–12 weeks. Timeline depends significantly on your content readiness and feedback speed — we provide a detailed milestone timeline during onboarding, and we require all text content and brand assets before beginning design. Delays in content provision extend the project timeline accordingly.

Yes — technical on-page SEO is included in every website we build at no additional charge. This covers: Rank Math or Yoast SEO setup and configuration, meta titles and descriptions for all pages, correct H1/H2/H3 heading hierarchy, Organisation or LocalBusiness schema markup, XML sitemap generation, robots.txt configuration, Google Search Console verification, Google Analytics 4 installation, image alt text, and Core Web Vitals optimisation. Content-level SEO (keyword research and SEO-optimised copywriting) is a separate service — see our Content Marketing and Copywriting pages.

Core Web Vitals are Google’s official performance ranking signals: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint — how quickly main content loads, target under 2.5s), INP (Interaction to Next Paint — page responsiveness, target under 200ms), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift — layout stability, target under 0.1). Websites scoring ‘Good’ on all three consistently outrank those that do not. We optimise every website to meet Google’s ‘Good’ thresholds, and we test before delivery. Note: third-party scripts added by the client after handover can affect these scores.

Website design projects require you to provide your text content and brand assets (logo, any existing photos or images). We provide a detailed content brief specifying exactly what is needed for each page — word counts, section structure, and suggestions. If you do not have website copy ready, we can pair your web design project with our Copywriting service to have us write your pages professionally. Contact us to discuss a combined web design and copywriting package.

Yes — 100% ownership guaranteed. Your website is installed on your own hosting account, in your own WordPress installation, with your own domain. We have no ongoing access unless you specifically request support. Every project includes a live handover training session covering content editing, page creation, media management, and basic site settings — plus written documentation specific to your site setup. For clients who prefer not to manage updates themselves, we offer monthly maintenance packages including content updates, plugin updates, security monitoring, and backups.
