Web Design Chester

Websites That Look Great And Work Even Harder

With good web design, your website is your hardest-working salesperson. It is open around the clock, it is the first place most customers check you out, and it should be turning visitors into enquiries.

We design and build websites from our studio in Chester that are visually striking, easy to use and built to be found. We get to grips with your target market first, then tailor every page to your business goals and the people you want to reach.

  • Responsive DesignEvery site adapts to phones, tablets and desktops, and is designed for the phone first.
  • User ExperienceClear navigation that guides visitors to what they need in as few clicks as possible.
  • E-commerceSecure, easy-to-run online shops that make buying simple.
  • Built To Be FoundSEO best practice is part of every build, not an afterthought.

Built To Today’s Standards

Fast, Secure And Ready For How People Search Now

A great website isn’t just about looks. It has to load quickly, work for everyone, stay secure and be easy for both Google and AI search tools to understand.

Designed Around Google’s Core Web Vitals

Google measures how real visitors experience your site using three Core Web Vitals. They affect rankings and, more importantly, whether people stay. We design, build and test against Google’s “good” thresholds.

Gauges show Google’s published “good” thresholds.

  • 2.5sLCPHow fast the main content appears
  • 200msINPHow quickly a tap gets a response
  • 0.1CLSHow steady the page is while loading

  • Accessible To Everyone

    Built with the WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines in mind: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader labels and text that resizes.

  • Secure, Reliable Hosting

    We host with a trusted, dedicated partner, with SSL, daily back-ups and protection from external threats. We can move existing sites into our care too.

  • Performance Monitoring

    Slow pages frustrate visitors and hurt rankings. We monitor speed and uptime so issues are fixed before they affect your customers or your search positions.

  • Ready For AI Search

    Clear page structure, well-written content and structured data help Google, its AI Overviews and tools like ChatGPT understand and recommend your business. Learn about AI SEO.

  • Privacy And Cookie Compliance

    Cookie consent set up properly under UK GDPR and PECR, with Google Consent Mode so your analytics and advertising keep working within the rules.

  • Easy For You To Update

    Every site comes with a content management system, and we provide training after launch so you can update text, images and news yourself.

How We Work

Our Web Design Process

Well-designed websites do far more than look good. Every page, image and interaction should work towards a clear goal, so every project follows the same proven process.

01

Architecture And Planning

Before any design starts, we research your market and competitors, analyse the keywords your customers search for and plan a clear site structure for you to approve. SEO is built in from day one.

02

Design And User Experience

We map the journey your visitors take and design every page around it, starting with the phone. Striking imagery and clear calls to action create the right first impression and make the next step obvious.

03

Web Development

Our web team brings the approved designs to life, building a fast, secure site on a content management system you can update yourself, along with any bespoke functionality you need.

04

Testing And Launch

Before your website goes live we test, test and test again across browsers, phones, tablets and desktops, checking speed, accessibility, forms and tracking. When everything is right, we launch.

05

After Launch

Once you’re live we monitor performance, carry out ongoing SEO and keep everything up to date, so your website keeps delivering enquiries long after launch day.

06

Ongoing Support

Our hosting and website support packages keep your site secure, backed up and improving, with time set aside for updates so you can focus on the leads.

Ready to start? Book your free one-hour consultation and we’ll talk through your goals.

The site looks great and the customer journey feels smooth from the moment someone lands on the homepage to the final checkout. Sales have improved since the launch and our customers often comment on how simple it is to browse and buy.
    Jamie LeeFounder and Director, Seven Sins Clothing
  • We are very pleased with our new website design. Staunton Rook provided an exceptionally professional service throughout the design and build process helping us to evaluate and make selections. They took the time to understand our business. I would recommend Staunton Rook to anyone who is thinking of developing a new website.
    Bal MatuManaging Director, Develop Capability Ltd
  • I’ve worked with a lot of marketing agencies over the years and Staunton Rook are by far the best, and are now a critical extension of my business as opposed to just being ‘someone’ in the supply chain! More importantly, they are super simple to work with and will create a package to suit your budgets.
    Phil HerridgeManaging Director, Semper Paratus Group

Why Choose An Agency Over A DIY Website Builder?

Wix, Squarespace and similar builders are a quick way to get online, but templates can limit your design, SEO and growth. Here’s how the two compare.

FeatureStaunton Rook websiteDIY website builder
DesignDesigned around your brand and customersA template shared with thousands of other sites
SEOKeyword research, site structure and technical SEO built inBasic settings, left for you to work out

GrowthBuilt to scale with new pages, features and integrationsLimited to what the platform allows
SupportA Chester team you can call, with ongoing support plansHelp articles and support tickets
Your timeWe handle the build so you can run your businessEvenings and weekends spent learning the tool

If you’re serious about competing online, a professionally designed website is the smarter long-term investment: it ranks better, converts better and grows with your business.

Web Design FAQ's

Can’t see your question here? Call us on 01244 323 250 or send us a message.

Get in touch with our friendly team and we will arrange a free, no-obligation one-hour meeting to discuss your business objectives and the design and functionality of your new website. Before we meet, we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire to help us understand you and your business.

A full service covers everything from research and planning to design, development, SEO set-up, testing, launch and support afterwards. Your website will look great, work on every device, be easy for you to update and be ready to perform in search engines from day one.

It depends on the size and complexity of the site. We create a tailored schedule showing every stage so you know exactly what to expect. A smaller brochure website can be designed and built in a matter of weeks, while larger e-commerce or bespoke builds can take a few months.

A dedicated team of web and SEO specialists works alongside our account management team. Your Account Manager is on hand by email or phone and holds regular review sessions with you, so you can see progress and give feedback throughout.

Images and video are a great place to start, but we can work with as much or as little as you have. Your Account Executive will write high-quality, keyword-rich content based on what we learn in our meetings, and if you need new imagery we can arrange a photoshoot with our in-house studio.

Yes. Every website we build is fully responsive and designed for the phone first, so it adapts to mobiles, tablets and desktops and gives every visitor a smooth experience.

We design and build with the WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines in mind, including readable colour contrast, keyboard navigation, image descriptions and clear headings, so your website works for as many people as possible.

Yes. Keyword research, a search-friendly structure, page titles and descriptions, structured data and technical SEO are all part of the build. After launch we offer more in-depth SEO packages, and we will make recommendations based on how your site performs and how competitive your market is.

Yes. Every website we build includes a content management system, and we provide training once your site has launched so you can make updates yourself.
