Services
We redesign websites to give businesses a more professional appearance while improving how visitors use the site. The service combines modern interface design, responsive development, SEO-ready structure and performance optimisation. We establish a clear sitemap and page hierarchy before rebuilding the core pages. Existing content can be transferred, with redirects implemented to help preserve SEO value. 
We design professional brochure websites that present your business and services clearly while establishing trust with visitors. Each site is created to encourage enquiries, with responsive layouts, clear calls to action and search-engine-friendly content. Our approach provides a cost-effective, straightforward online presence that can grow alongside your business and support your lead generation. 
Choosing the right eCommerce platform is an important part of creating an effective online store. We work with Shopify, WooCommerce and custom-built solutions according to your requirements. Our websites can support secure payments, product management and inventory tracking. Whether you need flexibility, a hosted solution or a bespoke build, we develop the store around your business needs. 
Our website maintenance service provides reliable support for keeping your website secure and performing effectively. We handle regular updates, security patches and scans, content amendments, uptime monitoring, performance checks, and speed improvements. Website management also covers technical maintenance, SSL management, hosting guidance, and payment gateway support for e-commerce websites when required. 
Our managed website hosting gives your website a dependable foundation without requiring you to handle the technical work. Every plan includes SSL, automated daily backups, malware scanning, firewall protection and ongoing monitoring. We also provide email hosting, DNS management and domain support, ensuring the essential hosting requirements are handled as part of one service. 
A dedicated landing page gives campaign visitors precisely the information and direction they need without the distractions of a full website. We build pages with conversion principles at their core, including strong headlines, trust signals, social proof and prominent calls-to-action. They are prepared for paid advertising, mobile use, fast loading and performance optimisation through A/B testing.

From the start, Ben took the time to understand my business, the type of work I do and how I wanted the company to come across. He listened to my ideas, offered good advice of his own and was always happy to make changes as we went along.
Communication has been excellent throughout, and nothing has felt like too much trouble. The finished website looks professional, represents the business properly and is a huge improvement on what I had before.
After having some awful experiences with other companies in the past, I was a bit wary about going through the process again, but Ben has absolutely smashed it for me this time. I couldnt be happier with the result.
If youre looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with to build or improve your website, Id definitely recommend Web Design Essex.
Thanks again, Ben really pleased with it.

When we was searching for a web designer the range was vast and came across Web Design Essex, Ben was very professional in his approach , there was no pushy sales pitch just a candid conversation to discuss what we was hoping to build as a web site,
Ben listened to our brief and was engaged with how we could present ourselves , In very little time a proposal was submitted and was even greater than our initial vision, the follow on meetings were seamless and again producing a web site that was impressive also faultless.
In our opinion Web Design Essex is the one stop shop to build a Web Site that ticks more than just the boxes, a personal approach to ensure every detail is layed out and to firmly place you at a level that will reach out to your audience.
From the team at Claremont Build & Co, Web Design Essex fulfilled our requirements from Inception through to completion and grateful to Ben and his team for producing our web site to a very high standard.

This company are great. They are professional, friendly, and most importantly they are bloody good at what they do.
Ive used their services for various projects over the years and will continue to do. After moving from another agency Ben and his team were very accommodating and informative. Unlike previous agencies, they got the results they suggested. Highly recommend, 5 star service.
