What a website has to do for a Bolton business
The town has a broad mix of trade: stallholders in the indoor market hall, shops around Market Place and Crompton Place, manufacturers and distributors near the M61, and professional practices. A buyer sourcing parts wants capability, lead times and a named contact. A shopper wants opening hours, directions and what is in stock this week.
We begin by asking which customer keeps your business running and what they need to see before they call or order. That decides the page structure and where the contact buttons sit.
We build mainly on WordPress, kept lean so pages load quickly on mobile data and you can change text and photos yourself. The full range of site types is covered on our Manchester web design service page.
Meetings, calls and shared drafts
Most of a build happens remotely. Draft pages reach you as live links to open on your own phone, we talk them through over Zoom or Teams, and content goes into one shared document, with WhatsApp for quick questions.
For the planning stage, some owners prefer to sit down together. Our office on Bury New Road is roughly 25-35 minutes by car via the A666 and M61 or the A6, depending on traffic, and we can also visit you by arrangement.
From first call to a live site
Scoping call
We talk through what you sell, who buys it and what your current site gets wrong. You receive a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts.
Page plan and wireframes
We agree which pages the site needs and sketch each layout in plain boxes, so structure is settled before colours and photos.
Copy and photography
We write or edit the words with you and prepare your own photos at the right size.
Design and build
The site takes shape on a private staging address. You comment on real pages on your own devices and we make the changes.
Pre-launch testing
Forms, redirects from old addresses, analytics and load times are checked before the domain is switched over.
Training and aftercare
You get a short session on editing pages and a direct line to the people who built the site.
Included in every build
- Responsive layouts tested on real iPhone and Android handsets
- WordPress with a block editor you can use without touching code
- Enquiry forms with spam filtering, and delivery tested to your inbox
- 301 redirects from every old page address that still gets visits
- Page titles, meta descriptions and LocalBusiness schema set up
- Google Analytics 4 and Search Console connected and verified
Pages a Bolton firm usually needs, and a few it can skip
Most business sites need fewer pages than owners expect:
- One page per main service or product line, rather than one long list
- A contact page with full address, an embedded map, parking or transport notes and opening hours
- For manufacturers and distributors, a capabilities page covering equipment, materials, accreditations and lead times
- An areas page only if you genuinely serve places such as Horwich, with something useful to say about each
What we usually leave out: rotating sliders, auto-playing video and stock photos of handshakes. If your current content is right but the look is dated, a website redesign may be enough, and if you sell online we would scope ecommerce website design instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can you meet us at our premises in Bolton?
Yes, by arrangement. Plenty of clients are happy with video calls once the project is moving, but the planning meeting often works better face to face. We can come to you, or you can call in at our M8 office, which is a straightforward drive down the A666 and M61.
We are a manufacturer near the M61 selling mainly to trade buyers. Is a website still worth it?
Trade buyers usually look at a supplier’s website before making contact, often while comparing several firms. A clear capabilities page, the sectors you serve and a simple enquiry form help them put you on the shortlist.
Can you redesign our site without losing what Google already shows for it?
Yes. Before launch we list every existing page address, keep the ones that still matter and set 301 redirects for the rest. Titles and content that already perform are carried over or improved, and we watch Search Console after the switch for crawl errors.
Who owns the site and the domain once it is finished?
You do. The domain should be registered in your business name, and you get full admin access to WordPress and the hosting account. If you ever move provider, everything goes with you.
