If your personal taste is clean, minimalist and sophisticated, then we highly suggest checking out Hausman Graphics. They’re well-known for creating simple yet eye-catching web designs across various industries. 

However, we were a bit iffy about the fact that they seem to lean towards a specific theme. So, their style may not appeal to all clients. 

Nevertheless, we appreciate that they’ve featured some of their past work on their website. We think this is a great way to see if their personal style resonates with what interested clients are looking for. 

It’s great that their designs are optimised to be mobile and tablet-friendly. This way, clients won’t have to worry about the design looking wonky on different devices.

Another pro is that they can seamlessly integrate a ton of useful features that we think will come in handy, especially for e-commerce or hospitality sites. This includes booking and payment integrations among others.

One of the ways they consistently stay on track is by asking for regular feedback. According to past clients, they appreciate being in the loop and how patient their team is with endless queries, especially the technical ones. 

We think that the icing on the cake is their aftercare services. They’ll provide ongoing maintenance even after the site’s launch at an hourly rate, or clients can opt for one of their maintenance packages.

Maraid Designs has been in the web designing industry for the past 17 years. They craft attractive and accessible websites, mainly for projects related to education, culture, heritage, not-for-profit, and the arts.

They have a number of well-known clients such as the National Trust for Scotland, Museum of Science and Industry, University of York, Leeds City Council, and the National Railway Museum among others.

So, it’s understandable why many of their clients in these industries seek their services, considering it is their forte. 

Here’s the hitch: they’re a small operation. To us, this poses a concern that it could take them a while to begin entertaining interested clients. 

However, this does work in clients’ favour as well because of their thorough approach. This means that things don’t go forward unless they’re according to plan and make the client happy.

Lots of past clients that we’ve spoken to were happy with the outcome of Mariad Design’s services. Many commend their open communication from the get-go and the stellar aesthetic functionality of their new sites.

Aside from a lasting relationship, clients can expect to be fully supported even after the site has launched. This means clients have someone to turn to if they have any questions, advice, seek training, or want to dive into new projects.

What makes Vecro Tech quite unique is that they place high importance on doing in-depth research before taking on a project. To be specific, they will do thorough research on the marketplace, client, and the project. 

Did we mention that their marketplace research is free? We like that they value transparency and communication, making the interested client fully aware of the feasibility of their proposal. 

Speaking of, it’s great that they offer a free 30-minute initial consultation to discuss the details of the project and budget. From there, suggestions and tweaks can be made to ensure that the project attains its maximum potential. 

We also like that they make their designs on two high-tech software tools: WordPress, which is ideal for large-scale projects, and Drupal, which is best for handling sizeable content and heavy traffic.

As for customer service, we were impressed to hear that their designers are prompt in answering their clients’ queries even after hours. We think this definitely helps alleviate clients’ stress and worries.

We were just a tad let down that they didn’t have an online portfolio where interested clients can browse through their past work. Aside from highlighting their best work, we think this definitely adds credibility and makes a good first impression. 

With over 20 years of experience up their sleeve, FIZZ Designs and SEO is adept in creating web designs through HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and WordPress.

We like that they can help clients with sites that use older software and help them transition smoothly to WordPress.

It’s also worth mentioning that they specialise in creating sites for startups and small businesses, with over 455 million live websites worldwide. Needless to say, we think they’re nothing short of experts in this industry. 

In our opinion, having an online portfolio would have helped interested clients visualise the kind of sites FIZZ makes. So, we were a bit bummed that they didn’t have that. 

It’s also greatly appreciated that they extend their services even after the launch, helping clients with any improvements or updates. Aside from going the extra mile, we think this definitely helps build a strong relationship with their clients.

Another strong pro for FIZZ is that they have a series of packages that clients can avail of ranging from £250 to £500, with an additional £75 for extra pages. 

If none of the packages work out, clients can opt for a customisable website for as low as £250. Overall, we think their services are quite inexpensive and definitely won’t break the bank.

Jamie Stewart Design is owned and operated by none other than Jamie herself. After earning a degree in Digital Art and Graphic Design, Jamie went on to establish his firm which has been gaining worldwide popularity for the last 6 years.

While we do admit that we think they run a small operation given that they’re only 8 on the team, we were impressed to find that they have launched nearly 300 projects and built 82 brands since their creation. 

We think another reason a tonne of clients avail of their services is because their designs are optimised for both mobile and web use. So, clients don’t have to worry about their site looking a tad odd on different devices.

Another thing we loved about Jamie and the team is that they’re very responsive, so clients are always updated and in the loop when any progress is made or problems arise. To us, communication is definitely key to keeping the boat afloat, so they get a plus for this.

Apart from that, we also like their quick turnaround times with outstanding attention to detail. This is most probably the reason why many of their clients call on them for any other projects.

We highly suggest taking a look through their case studies as they have a number of past projects up which made a great first impression on us.

Super Simple Websites was founded in 2016 by a then 21-year-old Claudia Kirkwood. They like to put small and growing businesses at the heart of what they do instead of simply using them as portfolio-builders.

Given so, we think they’re a one-stop-shop for sole traders, SME’s and start-ups. They’re the perfect option for those who are stuck in between time-consuming DIY websites, or feel priced out of larger agencies.

What we like is that they offer simplified web design packages, and all have fixed-fees that are available on their website.

We also like that all the inclusions for each package is laid out, unlike other companies that are vague about what each package entails.

When you select a package, you can get a free homepage draft!

Working with their team is a breeze. They’re quick, efficient and responsive.

Truth be told, we haven’t found a single negative review about them. We highly recommend!

Fractal Studio is a great option for those who want WordPress web design services.

They love WordPress, an open source and easy to update platform. They’ve built more than a hundred websites for clients and no one was disappointed.

What we like about them is they’re able to create slick looking websites that perform well on Google.

What’s more is their websites look good on any device, whether it be a table, phone or computer.

They even have maintenance packages available to keep your websites up to date.

We like that they collaborate with their clients and work to figure out exactly what they need. When they do, they effectively implement it.

Their services are also fairly priced, and we think they’ll also be within the budget of start-ups. We highly recommend!

Their services include website design, branding and graphic design to traditional and digital marketing, search engine marketing, social media campaigns, photography, video and animation.

For their web design services, we like that the first thing they do is to have a client meeting to determine and understand the initiative, aims, stakeholders.

This way, they’ll be able see how the design and messaging of the website will factor into those.

What we think is great about them is that they’re able to develop a plan and methodology for delivering the website on time, as well as within the budget.

They make sure that their websites provide engaging digital experiences for a business’ customers.

Although their offices are shut at the weekend, they do work throughout the weekend and at night if needed as they can operate from home as a hybrid working style.

They’ve been recognized as one of the Best Website Design Companies of 2020 by BestDesigns, and we understand why!
