We’re a small, dedicated web team who’ve spent 26 years building websites that do a real job for the businesses behind them, bringing in enquiries, earning trust, and making life easier for the people who visit them.
And we stay, long after it launchs
to keep it all working.
We never just build a website. We solve a business problem. Everything we do is aimed at one thing: a website that earns its keep. For our clients, that means:
More of the right enquiries. We design and build your site to bring in the leads, sign-ups and enquiries that grow your business, not just to look good.
A website that earns trust. A credible, professional, easy-to-use site gives visitors confidence in you from the very first click, and turns more of them into customers.
A smoother journey for your customers. Clear navigation and a well-thought-out user experience mean the people who visit your site can find what they need and take action, without friction.
One less thing to worry about. With us looking after the technical side, you’re free to get on with running your business, knowing your website is in safe hands.
We believe a website is a business tool, not a digital brochure. It should work as hard as the people behind the business.
Design without strategy is just decoration, so every decision we make, every page, every word, every button, is there to serve a purpose: to help your business grow.
That’s the difference between a website that simply exists. and one that actually works.
We listen first. We take the time to understand your business, your customers and your goals, so your website solves a real problem, not a generic one.
We design for outcomes, not just looks. Leads, enquiries, credibility, growth. A beautiful site that doesn’t perform isn’t doing its job, and we design for both.
We’re honest with you. You’ll get straight, clear advice, even when it’s not what you expected to hear. We respect your time and your intelligence, so we skip the jargon.
We stay. Many agencies build a site, hand it over and move on. We do the opposite. We remain invested in your success long after launch, which is why so many of our clients have been with us for years.
We bring 26 years of experience to every website we build, and a track record that speaks for itself.
Three in four of our clients have been with us more than five years, and half for more than ten. In a market full of agencies that build a website and disappear, that kind of loyalty is rare, and it tells you everything about what it’s like to work with us.
We deliver websites that save you time, build your credibility and bring in business, looked after by people who genuinely care about getting it right.
When you work with The Web Crew, you deal directly with the people doing the work, no account managers, no call centre, no being passed around.

We know you will have some questions, so here are some answers that we think will help.
Will my website get found on Google and AI?
The answer is yes it can get found on Google and AI engines.
However, there are certain conditions that need to be in place before your site will get found on Google by your target audience.
When users are searching for your products or services, you need a website with a strong technical framework complying with Google’s recommendations. Coupled with this you need interesting and relevant content that answers your customers’ questions.
As a simplified overview, Google index your website based on your domain, the keywords used and the content on your site. Google search bots move through the content and page structure of your site and try to understand the site’s “intent”. Then Google uses this information to determine what your site is about and who is it for – your target audience.
For Google to understand your page content and intent, it requires the page to be built using an on-page SEO (search engine optimisation) page structure. The page structure needs to include the proper use of Meta Tags, which include the URL Title, Page Title, HTag Headings (H1, H2, H3 etc) alongside useful, high quality content including text, images, video, infographics and so on. All of which is for the benefit of your audience.
When we build your website, we employ proven SEO techniques throughout. We advise on, and use, the required keywords, meta tags, page title and strong, relevant headings for your content.
We also build in various links – internal and external as required. We then submit your website to Google.
How much does a website cost?
That is a great question! The honest answer is – it depends on your specific requirements.
However, if you want to build a website that reflects your business values, targets your audience successfully and complies with Googles recommendations for search [SEO ready], then consider a budget of between £5000-7000 for a 10-20 page website*.
Here are two key questions to ask yourself:
Remember, your website is a business and to generate profits you need to invest. Make this a Realistic Goal from the outset!
*The cost for a 10-20 page website varies depending on the amount of content, including text, images, infographics, charts, and video, all of which needs to be supplied by you. Contact us to discuss your website requirements or to get advice on what you need for your website. We are happy to help!
What is your process?
The design of a quality, user focused and conversion optimised website is a complex process. The research and planning are essential to the success of the site. Understanding why you need the website, how you will use it and what you expect in return on your investment are the key considerations.
A good maintenance and SEO plan are also essential to achieve online visibility on Google and to generate leads and sales potential. We will advise on content and on budgeting to achieve your desired goals. Like any business, investment is fundamental to success.

What information do you need from me?
Gathering information for your website is the most challenging task! With our assistance, during the research and planning stages, we will provide advice and guidelines on what information is needed and most relevant for your target audience.
We will break the site down into its main pages. This will help us focus on gathering/generating the right information for each page.
We need you to provide information on your target audience, products or services, your team members, an overview of your business structure, values and procedures, customer testimonials and mission statement. Alongside this you need to provide a minimum of 3-5 articles supporting and promoting your business.
How long does a website take to build?
Generally speaking, we allow 4-6 weeks to build your website. However, this depends on the complexity of the site and the timely manner in which the contents are provided.
Our initial discussions regarding your goals and objectives for the site helps to provide an overview of the structure and content required. We are then able to provide you with a comprehensive proposal based on our recommendations for the design and build of a professional website for your business needs.
We then proceed with our design and build based around the “Process” outlined in one of the previous questions [“What is your process?”].
At key stages of the design process we provide opportunities for you to review the work we are doing and provide feedback accordingly.
Once the website is fully designed we allow time for you to review the content and make text/image adjustments accordingly.
Once complete we carry out the final testing and launch the site.
Does my website need to be hosted and maintained?
Yes, your website needs a strong and reliable hosting platform and a maintenance contract for the WordPress Core, WP Plugins, Content Updates, and SEO/AIO. A dedicated WordPress hosting platform is preferable.
Hosting is an essential part of your online security and accessibility. A dedicated WordPress hosting platform is essential to ensure your website performs at optimal levels.
We provide hosting on our secure WordPress hosting platform, which provides guaranteed uptime and security for your website content.
We also provide maintenance and SEO plans to accommodate your website and business needs.
Who creates the content for my website?
Content creation is one of the core aspects of your website and communication strategy. Providing the right type of content for your audience is paramount to the success of your website and online presence.
There are three options:
The majority of businesses we work with use a content creation provider or avail of our content creation services as an integral part of their SEO support package. We produce a content calendar using topic clusters to prepare valuable and helpful content for your target audiences. This approach ensures your content is created and distributed on a timely basis using specifically targeted keywords and phrases your customers are searching for.
