We work across the full range of website types. The platform is always chosen to fit the brief.
Every website starts from scratch — no templates, no off-the-shelf themes. We design for clarity, hierarchy, and experience. Every layout decision is made with your audience in mind.
Online stores that convert. Thoughtful UX, streamlined checkout, product filtering, inventory management, and the integrations your business relies on — built on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom stack.
API-first content management, fast delivery, and the flexibility to connect to any third-party system. We work with Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, DatoCMS, and more.
Clean, custom WordPress builds. ACF-driven block layouts, Tailwind CSS, performance-optimised, fully manageable by your team. WordPress done properly — no bloated page builders.
Custom Shopify themes and store builds. Liquid templating, conversion-optimised layouts, and a store that reflects your brand — not a generic Shopify template with your logo on it.
Speed and visibility built in, not bolted on. Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and accessibility best practice are part of every build.
We've refined this process over years of building for Cheshire businesses, and it's built around being close by. You're never handed off to an account manager or an offshore team — you work directly with the people designing and building your site, and when a project calls for it we'll meet you in person instead of hiding behind email.
It's straightforward, collaborative, and comes with a clear timeline from day one — designed to get you live, and ranking, as quickly as the work allows.
FAQ
Everything you've wanted to ask about web design in Cheshire — answered honestly.
Web design costs in Cheshire depend on the type of project. Brochure and marketing websites typically range from £4,000 to £8,000 +VAT, eCommerce stores from £6,000 to £12,000 +VAT, and custom platforms or portals from £10,000 +VAT upwards. Smarta Studio provides a fixed-price proposal up front, so there are no surprises.
Most bespoke websites for Cheshire businesses take between 10 and 12 weeks from kick-off to launch, with custom platforms taking 12 to 16 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly content and feedback are provided. We give every project a clear timeline at the start.
All of it. We're based in Nantwich and work with businesses across the county — Chester, Crewe, Northwich, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Wilmslow and Sandbach — plus the wider North West. Being central to Cheshire means we're rarely more than half an hour from most of our clients.
You don't need to be local — plenty of our work is delivered remotely with a tight, structured process. But if you are in Cheshire, meeting face to face is one of the reasons clients pick us over a faceless national agency. We're happy to come to you or host you at the studio in Nantwich.
A template gives you the same website as a thousand other businesses; a national agency gives you a project manager three counties away. We give you a bespoke, art-directed site built in-house — fast (93+ performance scores), properly optimised for search, and made by a team you can actually get hold of. You're paying for craft and accountability, not a login to a page builder.
Every website we build is engineered for search from day one — fast load times, clean code, structured data, location-specific pages and on-page SEO best practices are all built in as standard, not added as an afterthought.
