What a website has to do for an Ashton-under-Lyne business

Trade around the market hall and the Arcades is face to face, yet many shoppers check online first. A stallholder needs trading days, a clear location and a way to reserve or order, all visible within a couple of thumb scrolls. Hide those details three menus deep and people go elsewhere.

Manufacturers and trade firms near the M60 have a different brief. Buyers want your processes, delivery areas and a quote form that asks the right questions. Care and health providers need calm, readable service pages and contact routes that make sense to a worried relative. A theme designed for one of these rarely suits the others, so our approach to web design across Manchester begins with the decision a visitor is trying to make, then works back to the layout.

Planning the site with you, on screen or in person

Most of the project runs remotely: we share layouts in Figma, talk through drafts on a video call with screen sharing, and gather your copy, photos and logos in a shared folder. If you would rather sit down face to face, come to our office in Cheetham Hill, or we can visit you by arrangement. The drive takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes along the A62 or the M60, depending on traffic.

From first call to launch, step by step

Brief and page list

We talk through your customers, your services and the enquiries you want. Then we agree a page list and a fixed quote before any work begins.

Words before layout

We draft or edit the copy with you so each page answers a real question. The design follows the content.

Designs you can comment on

You see mobile and desktop layouts for the key pages and leave notes directly on them.

Build and connect

We usually build on WordPress with a lightweight theme and only the plugins the site needs. Forms, maps and analytics are set up and tested.

Testing and handover

We check forms, Core Web Vitals and display on real phones, then go live and show you how to edit pages yourself.

What is included in the build

Phone-led page designs signed off by you before development begins
Written page copy, or edits to yours, with headings that match how people search
Contact and quote forms, click-to-call buttons and a map
Accessibility checks, including colour contrast against WCAG 2.2 AA
SSL, scheduled backups and a plain record of your logins and hosting

Pages a Tameside trader or maker usually needs

The same gaps keep appearing on sites around Ashton, so these are the pages we usually suggest.

For a market stall or high-street shop: opening hours and location written as text rather than an image, so Google and screen readers can read them.
A products, menu or price-list page you can update from your phone between customers.
For trades and manufacturers: a capabilities page, the sectors you supply, captioned photos of finished work and a quote form that accepts drawings.
For care providers: one page per type of care, a page explaining how referrals work and direct contact details for families.

If you sell online, our ecommerce website design covers stock, payments and delivery. If your current site looks dated or brings in nothing, a website redesign may suit better than a fresh build.

Frequently asked questions

Can you come and see us at our premises in Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes, by arrangement. Some owners like a visit so we can photograph the shop or team at the same time, while others come to our office in Cheetham Hill. Most of the work happens over video calls and shared documents, so a visit is a choice rather than a requirement.

Most of our trade comes from the market. Is a website still worth having?

For many stallholders the site does a simpler job. It confirms which days you trade, where to find you, what you sell and how to order. Regulars check it before they travel in, and new customers use it to decide whether to visit.

Do we have to use WordPress?

No. WordPress suits most business sites because you can edit it yourself and many developers know it. For unusual features we may suggest a custom build. We explain the trade-offs plainly and agree the platform with you before we quote.

Will links to our old site stop working after the rebuild?

Not if they are handled properly. We list the addresses on your current site and set up 301 redirects to the matching new pages, so bookmarks, printed QR codes and links from other sites still reach the right place.
