Web Design UK That Turns Visitors Into Buyers

Web design UK covers everything between a blank page and a live site: planning what each page needs to say, designing how it looks, building it so it loads fast on a phone, and setting up the on-page SEO so Google and AI assistants can read it. At FactoryJet that is one job handled by one team, not a designer, a developer and an SEO agency invoicing you separately and blaming each other when something breaks.

A standard custom web design project runs about four weeks from brief to launch. We also offer express delivery of up to a five-page site in seven days. Larger ecommerce stores and web apps are scoped individually, because a 200-product catalogue with payments and stock control is a different job from a brochure site. You get the real timeline before you commit, not an optimistic one you discover halfway through.

Yes, one hundred percent. We push the full codebase to your GitHub account at launch, along with the design files and the documentation the build needs. There is no rented platform you have to keep paying us to access and no licence that quietly expires. If you ever move to another team, everything goes with you and any competent developer can pick it up without a handover call.

Yes. A careful website redesign keeps your URLs, redirects and content structure intact so your rankings carry across. Before we change anything we crawl your current site, record every page that earns traffic, and map old addresses to new ones. After launch we watch rankings and Search Console for four weeks and fix anything that moves the wrong way. Most redesigns that lose traffic lost it because nobody did that mapping.

Your name, your email, and one sentence about what the site has to do. Send that through the form on this page and the founder replies within one business day to book a short call. On the call we scope the project: pages, platform, integrations and timeline. You do not need a brief document, a wireframe, or finished copy before you talk to us. Most clients arrive with none of those.

Next.js for speed and custom marketing sites, WordPress for content-heavy sites your team edits daily, Webflow for design-led sites that need a visual editor, Framer for a fast launch, and Shopify for ecommerce. The right answer depends on who updates the site, how often, and whether you sell online. We recommend the platform that fits your goals, not the one that is easiest for us to build on.

Both, plus Webflow, Framer, Shopify and fully custom builds. Next.js is our default when speed matters most, because it renders pages ahead of time and produces the fastest mobile load of anything we offer. WordPress is the better answer when a non-technical team publishes several times a week and wants a familiar editor. We tell you which one your project needs and, more importantly, why.

Yes. Every build ships with a content management system, which is the admin area where you change text, images and pages without touching code. We match the system to your platform, run a short handover walkthrough, and leave written notes so your team is confident from day one. If you later want a new page type added, that is a small piece of work rather than a rebuild.

Often, yes. Webflow suits sites that change frequently and need a visual editor your marketing team can use without a developer. Framer suits fast launches and animation-rich landing page work. Both take less engineering time than a fully custom site, so if a lighter platform gets you the same result we will say so rather than sell you work you do not need. The trade-off is less control over performance at the edges.

We deploy to hosting matched to the platform: a global content delivery network for Next.js and Framer builds, managed hosting for WordPress, and Shopify infrastructure for stores. The accounts are set up in your name with your billing details, never ours. We can look after updates and monitoring on a monthly retainer, or hand the keys over completely at launch. Either way you are never locked out of your own site.

Clear hierarchy, fast mobile load, trust signals placed exactly where doubt appears, and one obvious next step on every page. We design around the decision your customer is trying to make, then check what works with analytics after launch rather than guessing. Most sites that fail to convert are not ugly. They are slow, or they bury the answer the visitor came for three scrolls below where people stop reading.

Yes. We design for the small screen first and audit Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals before every handover. Google publishes a target of 2.5 seconds or less for Largest Contentful Paint, which is the moment the main content appears, measured across the slowest quarter of real visits. We build to clear that on a mid-range phone on mobile data, not just on office wifi with a clean cache.

We can do both. Most clients give us the raw facts, the objections they hear on sales calls, and how they decide what to charge, then let us shape the words for conversion and search. If you have a copywriter or a settled in-house voice, we build to their words instead. What we will not do is fill a layout with placeholder text and call the site finished.

Yes. If you have brand guidelines we follow them exactly, down to type scale, colour values and spacing rules. If you do not have any, we set a simple, consistent design system as part of the build: two typefaces, a small colour set, one button style, and rules for how they combine. That is what makes a site look deliberate rather than assembled from whatever was to hand.

Yes. We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the international standard published by the W3C, which sets testable success criteria for things like colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text on images, and semantic markup. Accessible sites reach more customers, are easier for search engines and AI crawlers to read, and reduce legal risk for any organisation with a duty to provide equal access.

Yes. On-page SEO, structured data, clean URLs, internal linking and Core Web Vitals are included in every build rather than sold as an add-on. Google says its ranking systems reward good page experience across many aspects at once rather than one single signal, so we cover the whole set. You launch ready to rank, instead of paying someone six months later to undo a slow template.

Yes. We structure pages so AI assistants can quote them: the answer stated near the top, question-style headings, FAQ markup, named facts with sources, and clean HTML a crawler can read without running JavaScript first. That structure is what gets a site referenced in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, alongside a normal Google listing. It costs nothing extra because it is the same work good SEO already needs.

Yes. We wire up Google Analytics and conversion tracking so you can see what the site is doing from day one, including which pages bring enquiries, which forms get abandoned, and where mobile visitors drop off. We also connect Google Search Console so you can watch which search terms start showing your pages. A website you cannot measure is a guess dressed up as a decision.

Core Web Vitals are three Google measurements taken from real visits: Largest Contentful Paint for loading, Cumulative Layout Shift for whether the page jumps about, and Interaction to Next Paint for how quickly it responds to a tap. Google treats page experience as part of how it ranks pages, and slow, jumpy pages lose mobile visitors before they read the offer. Every site we ship passes all three before handover.

Not for the on-page work, because that is built in. You may want ongoing help with content, digital PR and earning mentions from other websites, which is what actually moves competitive terms over time. We can do that on a monthly retainer, or hand you a written plan and let your own team run it. Either way the site launches technically sound, so nothing has to be undone first.

Four things move it: the number of pages and unique templates, whether it is a marketing site or an ecommerce store, the systems you need connected such as a CRM or a booking tool, and how much custom design and written copy is involved. A five-page brochure site and a 200-product store are different jobs. We scope yours on a short call and agree it in writing before any work starts.

No, and that is deliberate. A single published figure is either padded to cover the worst case or too thin to deliver the real one, which is exactly how change orders appear halfway through a build. We scope your project first, then agree the shape of the engagement: fixed-price milestones for a defined build, a one-off audit if you want a second opinion, or a monthly retainer for ongoing work.

Often, yes. The lever is scope, not quality. A tighter build might mean fewer unique page templates, a lighter platform such as Framer or Webflow instead of a custom Next.js front end, and copy you supply rather than copy we write. We will tell you honestly when a budget cannot reach the outcome you want, rather than taking the work and handing you something that disappoints you.

Paid advertising management, ongoing content writing, professional photography and video production, and third-party licence fees such as premium plugins or stock imagery all sit outside a standard build. So does ongoing link building. We flag anything your project needs from that list during scoping, with an honest view on whether you need it now or later, so nothing turns up as a surprise line on an invoice.

We work with businesses across the United Kingdom: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh and everywhere in between. Projects run remotely with regular video reviews and a shared board you can check at any time, so your postcode never limits the quality of the work or the seniority of the people doing it. We also build for UK companies selling into the United States and the Gulf.

Senior engineers and designers, not juniors handed the project after the sales call. The founder, Bhavesh Barot, stays involved on every build, so the person who scopes your work is close to the person who delivers it. You get direct access to the people writing the code rather than an account manager relaying messages. That is also why we cap how many projects run at the same time.

We stay on for support after launch. Small changes are quick, and because you own the code and the hosting accounts, you are never locked in if you decide to take the site elsewhere. Support terms are agreed up front, whether that is a monthly retainer, a block of hours, or occasional work as you need it. Nothing is billed without you agreeing to it first.

Send your name and email through the form on this page and say in one line what the site has to do. The founder replies within one business day to book a short call, usually about thirty minutes. On that call we scope the project and send you the next steps in writing. There is no obligation and no automated sales sequence waiting for you afterwards.
