Web Design Rochdale

We design and build websites for Rochdale businesses that need a site people can use on a phone, find their way around in seconds and trust enough to call. Our team works with town centre retailers, trades, manufacturers and community groups, and every site is built so you can edit it after launch.

What a website has to do for a Rochdale business

Shoppers heading to the Riverside development or the Exchange often check opening hours and stock on their phone before setting off. If that sits inside a PDF, they pick the next result. Hours, address, phone number and your main products belong on the first screen, readable with one thumb.

Manufacturers and distributors around Kingsway Business Park, by junction 21 of the M62, need pages that explain capabilities to trade buyers and an enquiry form that asks the right questions. Co-operative and community organisations, in the town where the Pioneers opened their Toad Lane store, often need event listings, membership details and a way for volunteers to post news without breaking the layout.

We build most sites on WordPress with a lightweight theme and the block editor rather than a heavy page builder, so pages load quickly and editing stays simple. It is the approach behind our web design in Manchester, adjusted to the customers and competitors you have locally.

Working together between Cheetham Hill and your premises

Most of the work needs nobody to travel. We start on a video call, share draft pages as a staging link you can try on your own phone, and gather feedback by email or WhatsApp. If you would rather sit down face to face, visit us at Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, or we can come out to you by arrangement. By road it is roughly 30 to 35 minutes along the A664 or via the M60 and M62, depending on traffic.

From first call to a live site

Agree what the site is for

We list the actions a visitor should take, such as calling, booking or applying for a trade account, and plan pages around them.

Map pages and content

We draft a sitemap and check which copy and photos exist and what still needs writing.

Design with real content

Layouts are designed mobile first using your actual text and images, with no filler.

Build and connect

We build on WordPress, set up forms with spam filtering, connect Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, and add LocalBusiness schema.

Test on real devices

Pages are checked on Android and iPhone in Chrome, Safari and Edge, and test enquiries go to your inbox.

Launch and hand over

We point the domain, redirect old addresses and record a short screen-share on editing pages.

Pages that firms around the borough usually need

Shops and cafes: opening hours, a map, a menu or product range page, and a line on parking or the nearest tram stop.
Trades: one page per service, an areas-covered page naming the districts you work in, and a captioned gallery.
Manufacturers and distributors: capability pages, downloadable spec sheets, accreditation details and a trade enquiry form.
Co-operatives and community groups: governance, events, how to join, and a news section volunteers can update safely.

If you sell online, an ecommerce build adds product, basket and checkout pages. Clear website copywriting often matters as much as the design.

Frequently asked questions

Will you come to us in Rochdale rather than doing everything over video?

Yes, by arrangement. If you would rather show us your premises or products in person, we can book a visit. You are also welcome at our Cheetham Hill office, roughly half an hour away by road.

Is it worth having a separate page for each part of the borough we serve?

Only when each page says something genuinely different, such as jobs done in that area or a local contact. Pages that repeat the same text with a place name swapped tend to do more harm than good, so we usually suggest one strong areas-covered page first.

Can several people at a co-operative or charity edit the site safely?

Yes. WordPress user roles let volunteers edit news and events without touching menus, plugins or settings. Each person gets their own login with two-factor authentication, so it is always clear who changed what.

What happens to our old website and email during the switch?

Email normally carries on untouched, because it runs on separate DNS records we leave alone. The old site stays live until you approve the new one, and on launch day 301 redirects send old page addresses to their new equivalents.
