Web design for Manchester businesses

Manchester is where Rainy Peaks is based, and it’s a city with no shortage of web designers. What’s harder to find is someone who’ll tell you honestly that your site doesn’t need rebuilding, it needs three fixes and better photographs. Most Manchester businesses aren’t venture-funded startups; they’re agencies, practices, workshops and shops that need a website to earn its keep. That’s what I build.

Businesses I work with in Manchester

  • Creative and marketing agencies around the Northern Quarter and Ancoats
  • Law and accountancy firms in Spinningfields and around Deansgate
  • Recruitment consultancies serving the city’s tech and professional sectors
  • Independent retailers, cafés and hospitality across the city centre and suburbs

Challenges I hear most often

  • Competing for attention against firms with far bigger marketing budgets
  • Sites built years ago by someone who has since moved on
  • Ranking in a city where every search term is contested
  • High city-centre overheads making every wasted enquiry expensive

Real, local examples

What a better website looks like for Manchester businesses

An agency rebuilding its site around three case studies with real numbers, and winning bigger pitches with it

A city-centre law firm publishing plain-English practice-area pages and doubling online enquiries

A recruiter putting job listings into Google for Jobs and cutting job board spend

An independent café group replacing PDF menus with fast, readable pages that Google can index

Questions from Manchester businesses

Do you meet in person in Manchester?

Yes, I’m Manchester based, so happy to meet at your office or a city-centre coffee shop. The initial 15-minute conversation is usually a call, but kick-off and design reviews often work best face to face.

How much does a website cost in Manchester?

A small business site is typically a low four-figure fixed price, more if there’s a shop or booking system attached. You get the full number from a written scope before anything starts.
