Web Design Leicester.
Modern tools. Fair prices.
Custom websites for Leicester businesses built with modern frameworks.
No legacy systems, no maintenance nightmares, no inflated budgets.
Just clean, fast websites that work.
Why modern tools matter for Leicester businesses
Experience is valuable. But so is using the right tools for the job.
Built for 2025, not 2005
Many Leicester agencies still build on WordPress because that's what they've always done. We use Astro because it's objectively better for most business websites. Faster, cleaner, more secure.
No legacy baggage
Agencies with decades of experience often carry decades of outdated processes. We're new enough to do things the modern way, experienced enough to do them properly.
Transparent pricing
£479 for a custom one-page site. Hosting via maintenance packages from £47/month. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices, no ongoing contracts unless you choose them.
Value, not just cheap
We're not the cheapest Leicester web designers. We're the best value. Custom-built sites with modern frameworks at prices that make sense for small businesses.

Web design for Leicester's businesses
Leicester has a diverse business landscape, from the city centre's retail and hospitality to Hinckley's manufacturing sector and Loughborough's growing tech scene. Your website should match your ambition without breaking your budget.
Traditional Leicester web design agencies often pitch their experience and longevity. That's valuable, but not if it means you're stuck with outdated tools and inflated prices because "that's how we've always done it."
We use modern frameworks because they're objectively better for business websites. Astro generates static HTML that loads instantly, costs less to host, and requires minimal maintenance. No WordPress security patches, no plugin conflicts, no slow load times.
Whether you're a Leicester startup launching your first site, a Hinckley service business upgrading from a DIY builder, or a Loughborough company tired of agency retainers, we build websites that deliver results at prices that make sense.
