Website design for Coventry businesses

A website designed from the customer backwards: what they need to see, in what order, on the device they actually use.

01

Start with the job the site has to do

Most small business sites in Coventry are asked to do one of three things: get the phone or inbox busy, prove to a buyer that you are a credible supplier, or help people find their way to you. We pin down which one matters most before anything is drawn, because it changes the structure of every page.

A trade counter in Foleshill needs opening times, stock and directions near the top. A tier-two supplier pitching to an automotive buyer needs certifications, capacity and capability statements. A Kenilworth café needs a menu and a map. Same toolset, very different drawings.

02

Wireframes before colour

We sketch every key page as a grey-box layout first. You see the order of content, the calls to action and how it collapses on a phone, without being distracted by fonts. Changes at this stage take minutes. Changes after build take days.

Once the layout is agreed we apply your brand: type, colour, photography and the small details that make the site feel like yours rather than a template.

03

Built for phones first

Across most of the local sites we look at, the majority of visits come from a phone. We design the narrow layout first and widen it, not the other way round, so tap targets, form fields and text sizes work for someone standing outside your premises.

04

What you get

A fully responsive site, written page titles and descriptions, basic schema markup, analytics set up, a contact form that reaches your inbox, and a short handover so you can edit text and images yourself.
