From city centre commuters to suburban customers in Salford, Stockport and Altrincham — every site is built mobile-first.
We work with Manchester startups, established SMEs, professional services, healthcare providers and trades — the technical bar is the same for all.
Stores, web apps and SaaS platforms built on Next.js and React so they comfortably scale 10–100× without a rewrite.
A good ecommerce website needs fast, mobile-friendly product pages, a secure and frictionless checkout, reliable payment integration, and straightforward inventory and order management on the back end. If any of these are clunky, it shows up directly in lost sales.
We build ecommerce sites from £1,500, scoped around how many products you're selling, the payment and delivery setup you need, and whether you need integrations with existing stock or accounting systems. Every ecommerce build starts with a free consultation to scope this out properly before any pricing is fixed.
A bespoke website is designed and built around your specific business, brand, and user journeys, rather than adapted from an existing template. It gives you more control over how the site looks, functions, and scales, but generally takes more time and budget than a template build.
For Manchester businesses with specific functionality needs, a distinctive brand, or plans to grow the site significantly over time, bespoke is usually the better long-term investment. We scope every bespoke project individually after a free consultation, since the right approach depends entirely on what the business needs the site to do.
A brochure website is a simpler, content-focused site — usually a handful of pages covering who you are, what you offer, and how to get in touch — built to establish credibility and generate enquiries rather than handle transactions. It's typically the fastest and most cost-effective option to launch.
This suits many service-based Manchester businesses well, particularly where the goal is a professional online presence and clear calls to action rather than ecommerce functionality. Our web design starts from £500 for this kind of build.
Our process starts with a free consultation to understand your business, goals, and budget, followed by a proposal scoped to what you actually need — not a generic package. From there we move through design, build, review, and testing before launch, with the client involved at each stage rather than only seeing a finished product at the end.
After launch, we remain on hand for support and updates rather than handing the site over and disappearing. Because there are no long-term contracts, that ongoing relationship has to keep proving its worth rather than being assumed.
Web design with JW Digital starts from £500 for a brochure-style site, with ecommerce builds from £1,500 and bespoke or custom projects quoted individually based on scope. Every project begins with a free consultation so pricing is based on what you actually need, not a fixed one-size package.
Costs generally scale with the number of pages, custom functionality, and integrations required (payments, bookings, third-party systems). Being upfront about this at the consultation stage means no surprise costs later.
