Is Your UK Business Invisible Online? Here’s How a Professional Website Changes Everything.

Running your business without a website is a bit like running a shop without a front door. Sure, you might get a few customers through the side entrance (social media), but most people will walk right past.

Many small business owners in the UK rely heavily on platforms like Facebook or Instagram to promote themselves. While that can work short-term, the reality is you don’t own those platforms. Algorithms change, accounts get suspended, and outages can wipe out your reach overnight. That’s rented land.

A website, on the other hand, is your permanent digital headquarters. It’s the one place you completely control—your brand, your content, your data. And here’s the kicker: 78% of UK small business owners already have a website, and 84% say it plays a big part in their success.

‍So the question isn’t “Do I need a website?” It’s “Can I afford not to have one?”

When we design websites at Design Wiz, we don’t just make them “look nice.” Every element has a purpose. Here are the essentials every professional website should include:

We know the idea of building a new website can feel overwhelming, so here’s exactly what to expect when you work with us:

1. Learning & Understanding Your Brand
It all starts with a conversation. We’ll dig into your goals, audience, and vision so we can create a website that truly represents your business.

2. Design & Prototyping
This is where the magic happens. We bring your brand to life with visuals and functionality that balance creativity and usability.

3. Website Development
We don’t just fill in the blanks, we create content that connects with your audience and gets you noticed by search engines.

‍4. Testing & Launch
Your site won’t go live until it’s fast, responsive, and performing flawlessly. We make sure it’s perfect before the world sees it.

5. Post-Launch Support
Our job doesn’t end at launch. With our maintenance and hosting packages, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your website is updated, secure, and supported.

At Design Wiz, we believe in clear, upfront communication. Instead of hiding behind a vague price, we'll provide a custom quote for your project based on your specific requirements.

Our project costs typically start from £600 for a starter business website, but this can go up or down depending on the factors listed above. For a detailed quote, we need to understand your unique business goals.
