Your Local
Website Design Reading Agency.

Named by The Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in the UK (2022), Reading is an affluent, diverse town that offers a rich experience without the drawbacks of a big city. One of the largest towns in the UK, there is certainly plenty to do. Reading offers all the usual high-street stores for people who love to shop. It also boasts excellent independent boutiques (check out Harris Arcade for a selection of original and quirky traders). And, as you would expect in any University town, Reading has many great bars, pubs, and restaurants.

For people who love arts and culture, the fact that Reading dates back to medieval times is sure to impress. There is a selection of fantastic museums to enjoy, and the Reading Abbey Ruins are over 900 years old. Reading also embraces its waterside location with a wealth of watersports, boat trips, riverside walks, and restaurants. Reading also has a strong arts community with the Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISK), the South Street Arts Centre, and more.

Reading also offers some beautiful homes with a wealth of Georgian and Victorian buildings. Properties in Reading had an overall average price of £385,590 in 2021 (according to Rightmove). While more than the UK average, this is still more affordable than other places in southeast England. And, because the town is walkable, it is hugely sought-after by families.

The commercial capital of the Thames Valley, Reading is also the perfect place to do business. It is one of the best-connected locales in the UK and is close enough to London to be considered part of its commuter belt. Big names such as Microsoft and Oracle have campuses in the town. And a host of other national and multinational brands also have a presence in Reading (including Bang & Olufsen, Cisco, Ericsson, KPMG, Prudential, PepsiCo, Virgin Media and Waitrose, amongst others). If your business is based in Reading, contact us to find out how a stunning responsive website from our creative and coding experts can take you to the next level.

Costs for website design Reading services

Experienced, passionate, and fanatical about good design, our websites are as functional as they are beautiful. And, by exploiting the power of industry-leading web platforms – including WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Joomla and Drupal – our sites don’t just look and work perfectly; they are also easy to update.

Moreover, because we understand the commercial realities you face, we ensure that your budget works harder and smarter for you. But that doesn’t mean we are the cheapest web design agency in Reading. We don’t create bargain-basement template websites that fail on mobile devices and need updating and fixing regularly. Instead, all our sites are unique, well-made, and high performing. And when you appoint us, we’ll create something special at an affordable price.

Costs start from around £2,500, and we ensure you get a return on your investment.

How long does it take to build a website?

A great website will showcase your business. That goes without saying. But, with fierce competition, your website needs to do so much more if you want to stand out from the crowd.

With a comprehensive understanding of web visitor behaviour, at our Reading web design agency, we build sites that help our clients create an emotional connection with their customers. And, to help us establish that bond, we turn a good online experience into a great one. Providing all the functionality modern web visitors have come to demand, we can even devise some clever little touches to exceed your customer’s expectations.

To do this takes time. And in our experience, smaller websites can be finished in just 4-6 weeks. More significant websites with complex functionality can take 3-4 months.

What type of Reading companies can you help?

Our Reading web development agency has experience across various B2C & B2B sectors, including e-commerce, finance, property, technology, legal, home improvement, and more.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes, we can help you give your current website a new lease of life. Whether that’s by giving it a facelift to make it more visually appealing, moving it to a new CMS such as WordPress, or making it responsive so it will work on all devices.

But it can be more expensive to take a break-fix approach to a website rather than adequately dealing with more significant problems. So, if we believe that you would be better starting from scratch, our Reading web designers will outline your options and costs so that you can take the most commercially savvy approach to any website improvements.

Will my new website design Reading work on mobile and tablets?

When it comes to web design, bringing your creative vision to life is only part of what we do. We also ensure you provide a high-quality experience across the vast spectrum of devices. Because it doesn’t matter how good a website looks on a desktop PC if it is awkward or impossible to use on the go.

Today, most web users will use a smart device to visit your site, so being mobile-friendly is essential. At our web design Reading agency, we create bespoke websites for organisations that are passionate about success. And we make sure that our websites are responsive and mobile-friendly. Delivering the optimal content configuration for the device used means that your site will provide a faultless, intuitive, and seamless journey. For every single visitor. Every single time.

Can you convert my existing Reading website into WordPress?

WordPress has become the web platform of choice for many businesses. And there are good reasons for this. WordPress is an open-source platform (which means it is free to use). It’s also ridiculously simple to manage and update. Furthermore, when it comes to SEO, Google absolutely loves WordPress.

Just as crucial for our Reading clients, in the right hands, WordPress can be used to create stunningly beautiful and high-performing online experiences. But, if you want the right WordPress website for your business, you need the right digital partner. At our Reading marketing agency, we can create a brand-new site that will help you to engage with your web visitors.

Alternatively, if you want to move your current website to WordPress, and perhaps add advanced features like analytics, e-commerce functionality, or other customisations, we can do that too. What we won’t do, is give you a WordPress website that looks just like everyone else’s.

Do you offer a payment schedule for Reading websites?

Yes. All our website projects start with a 50% deposit, and we take the remaining 50% after everything is signed off and the website is about to launch.

Do you provide website maintenance and support?

Creating business-changing websites that boost our Reading clients’ bottom line, our web and digital services include:

• Responsive web design
• WordPress design & development
• Paid search & lead generation
• Search engine optimisation (SEO)
• Website hosting, maintenance & support

In addition, we also provide ongoing website support to many of our Reading clients. Services include making plugin updates, ensuring regular backups, carrying out security checks, making site edits when required, and a range of maintenance support. Contact us today to find out more.

Can you rank my Reading website on Google?

Yes, our Reading SEO experts know what it takes to create a local and national presence for your brand. And a great website is only half the battle. So, as well as making sure your site is search engine friendly, if you want to thrive online, we can also help you to create and implement a considered Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy.

With years of experience working with B2B and B2C companies across a diverse range of sectors, we help businesses across Reading to improve their search rankings. And, because the world of SEO doesn’t stop, neither do we. Instead, we keep on top of what’s working in SEO – and which parts have died – to keep you ahead of the game. With Google using over 200 signals to rank websites – and the algorithm relentlessly changing – we never stop working hard on your behalf.

Using a combination of on-site technical optimisation, link building, and quality content, our intelligent, results-driven SEO makes all the difference to businesses across Reading. So, why not find out how we can do the same for you? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
