What is website design & development?

Website design at DigitalTiger means building a fast, search-ready website whose primary job is to turn visitors into enquiries. We plan the page structure around what your customers actually search for, write the page content around the decisions they need to make, and build it so that Google can crawl every word without waiting for JavaScript.

Typical timeline: Typically two to four weeks for a small trade website. Timelines depend on page count, content readiness and approval speed. Pricing: Trade Starter Website £595 · Local Lead Website £895 · Trade Authority Website from £1,495. Or spread it monthly from £69/month on a 24-month agreement.

Problems this solves

  • Your website gets visitors but almost no enquiries.
  • The site is slow on mobile and people leave before it loads.
  • You cannot update your own content without paying a developer.
  • The structure grew page by page and no longer makes sense.
  • Competitors' sites look and perform more credibly than yours.

  • Responsive, mobile-first design using your brand
  • Copywriting collaboration or full drafting where required
  • Technical build with server-rendered content and clean markup
  • On-page SEO: titles, descriptions, headings, internal links, schema

  • Analytics and conversion event setup
  • Redirect mapping if you are replacing an existing site
  • Launch checks and handover documentation

Website Design & Development FAQs

How much does a website cost in the UK?

DigitalTiger trade websites are £595 for a five-page starter site, £895 for a lead-generating site with individual service pages, and from £1,495 for a larger multi-service site. You can also spread a website from £69 a month on a 24-month agreement.

More detail

The biggest cost drivers are the number of unique page templates, whether copy and photography already exist, and whether the site needs bookings, payments or CRM integration. A five-page brochure rebuild and a forty-page service and location architecture are very different projects.

Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?

It can, if URLs change without redirects. We map every existing indexed URL to its closest new equivalent and apply 301 redirects before launch to preserve search equity.

More detail

We also keep the existing page titles and content that already earn traffic, and only rewrite where the old page is underperforming or duplicated elsewhere.

Can I edit the website myself afterwards?

Yes. Content is structured so ordinary text, image and page changes do not require a developer.

Do you build on WordPress?

We build and maintain sites on WordPress and modern custom-built stacks, and we can look after existing Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy sites where a rebuild is not worth it yet.
