Web Design Oldham
Web design for Oldham businesses means a website that explains what you do, who you do it for and how to get in touch, in the order a customer looks for it. We build sites for independent shops, trades, manufacturers, care providers and family-run firms across the town and its neighbours.

Websites that suit the way Oldham customers buy
The town has a wide spread of businesses, and each needs a different kind of site. A stallholder at Tommyfield Market or a shop near Spindles Town Square mostly needs opening times, directions and a phone number that dials with one tap. A manufacturer at Hollinwood, by junction 22 of the M60, sells to buyers who want capabilities, accreditations and a named contact before they call.
The common problem is an old site that tries to say everything on one page, loads slowly on a phone and hides the contact form. Our web design team in Manchester plans pages around the questions your customers actually ask, then builds them on WordPress so you can edit text and photos yourself.
Working together without losing a day of trading
Most of the project happens remotely: kick-off and design sessions over video call with screen sharing, content gathered in a shared document you can comment on, and quick questions handled by phone, email or WhatsApp. That suits owners who cannot leave a counter or a production line for an afternoon.
If you would rather sit round a table, come to Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, or we can visit your premises by arrangement. Expect roughly 20 to 25 minutes each way, depending on traffic.
From first conversation to a live site
Agree the site’s job
We talk through who your customers are and what a good enquiry looks like. That gives us a short brief and a page list.
Plan pages and content
Each page answers a customer question. You get a list of the photos and text we need, and we can draft the words for you to check.
Design the key pages
You see the home page and one inner page as designs before building begins, so changes are quick to make.
Build and connect
We build on WordPress with a lightweight theme, set up forms, Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, and test on real phones and browsers.
Launch and hand over
Old page addresses are redirected, the site goes live, and we show you how to edit pages and change opening hours.
What is included in your new website

- Mobile-first design for the home page and every inner page template

Pages an Oldham firm usually needs, by type of business
- Independent shops and market traders: opening hours, directions from the town centre Metrolink stops, product categories, and click-and-collect if you offer it.
- Takeaways and restaurants: a menu written as text rather than a photo of a printed one, with allergen information and ordering links.
- Trades: one page per service, the districts you cover such as Chadderton and Failsworth, and photos of finished jobs.
- Manufacturers: capabilities, machinery and sectors served, with spec sheets to download and a direct route to the sales team.
- Care and health providers: services in plain language, what happens after the first call, and readable text with good colour contrast.
Selling online? Our ecommerce website design service covers catalogues and checkout, and website copywriting can run alongside the build if writing is the weak spot.
Frequently asked questions
Can you meet us at our premises in Oldham?
Yes, by arrangement. Many projects need only video calls, but if you want to show us the shop floor or how customers use your counter, we can come to you. It is roughly 20 to 25 minutes from our Cheetham Hill office, traffic permitting, and you are equally welcome to visit us.
Should our website mention Chadderton, Failsworth and other areas we serve?
If you genuinely work there, yes. A clear areas-covered section helps customers check you reach them. We avoid thin copy-and-paste pages for each district; a separate area page only makes sense when you have real work there to show.
Can we update the website ourselves after launch?
Yes. We build with the WordPress block editor, so changing text, swapping photos or adding a news post takes minutes. You get a recorded walkthrough, and if something goes wrong our team can help by phone or WhatsApp.
Do you redesign existing sites or only start from scratch?
Both. If your current site has pages that already bring in enquiries, we keep their addresses or set up 301 redirects so that value is not thrown away. Our website redesign service explains how we approach a rebuild.
Also building sites in Rochdale, Middleton and Tameside
Our team also designs websites for firms in Rochdale, Middleton, Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne, and the full service is described on our Manchester web design page.
