Services
Our approach to website redesign combines modern presentation with practical improvements to performance and enquiries. We first review the existing website and establish what needs to change, then plan the structure and redesign the essential pages. The finished site is built for mobile devices, optimised for speed and supported by clear calls to action. 
Our professional brochure websites are designed to communicate your services clearly and turn website visitors into potential customers. We focus on purposeful layouts, compelling service information and strategically placed contact options rather than unnecessary features. The result is a responsive, easy-to-manage website that supports credibility, search visibility and enquiry generation while allowing additional pages to be introduced as your business grows. 
Our eCommerce solutions are developed for businesses that want a professionally built online store with room to grow. We can create stores for smaller product ranges as well as larger catalogues, with categories and features added as requirements develop. Mobile optimisation, secure payments and SEO-ready structures are included within our approach. Ongoing maintenance and support are also available. 
With our ongoing website maintenance service, we take care of the essential work required to keep your site healthy and operational. This includes updating plugins and core software, monitoring security and uptime, checking performance, improving website speed, maintaining SSL certificates, and making content updates. We provide dependable technical support so you can concentrate on your business. 
We provide a complete hosting solution that keeps your website protected and available while reducing the technical work required from you. Our UK-based cloud infrastructure is supported by high availability and redundancy, with 24/7 monitoring in place. Alongside hosting, we manage SSL certificates, backups, DNS and security, giving your website a dependable environment. 
We provide landing page design focused on converting targeted visitors into meaningful business enquiries and customers. Instead of relying on a homepage with multiple destinations, our pages centre on one clear action and remove unnecessary distractions. They are designed for advertising campaigns, feature persuasive content and layouts, and can include lead capture forms connected with your CRM.

From the start, Ben took the time to understand my business, the type of work I do and how I wanted the company to come across. He listened to my ideas, offered good advice of his own and was always happy to make changes as we went along.
Communication has been excellent throughout, and nothing has felt like too much trouble. The finished website looks professional, represents the business properly and is a huge improvement on what I had before.
After having some awful experiences with other companies in the past, I was a bit wary about going through the process again, but Ben has absolutely smashed it for me this time. I couldnt be happier with the result.
If youre looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with to build or improve your website, Id definitely recommend Web Design Essex.
Thanks again, Ben really pleased with it.

This company are great. They are professional, friendly, and most importantly they are bloody good at what they do.
Ive used their services for various projects over the years and will continue to do. After moving from another agency Ben and his team were very accommodating and informative. Unlike previous agencies, they got the results they suggested. Highly recommend, 5 star service.

Web Design Essex has helped develop multiple websites over the years. Ben's approach is efficient and straight to the point, and he and his team always go the extra mile. After working with five different agencies before finding Ben, I can honestly say, do not waste any of your time; get in touch with Ben. You will not be disappointed. I'll continue to use Web Design Essex for any web development, SEO, and Google Ads going forward. Highly recommended
