Web Design Agency London
Website Designer 1 is a web design agency in London for small and growing businesses. One team designs your website, gets it found on Google and runs your advertising, and every price is fixed and published.
A full-service web design agency for London businesses
One agency for the website and everything around it
A website on its own does not bring customers. It needs to be found, which means search engine optimisation and often advertising. It needs to be kept up to date. And it needs to fit with your Google profile, your social media and, for some businesses, your Amazon store.
Many small businesses end up with a different supplier for each of these, and nobody responsible for the result. As a full-service agency we handle the whole chain, so the person planning your pages is thinking about the keywords, and the person running your adverts knows the page they point to.
We are a new agency, based in East Ham, East London. We keep our prices low and public, and we let our live websites speak for us.

The basics
What does a web design agency do?
A web design agency plans, designs and builds websites for other businesses. A good one starts with questions rather than colours: who are your customers, what do they search for, what should they do when they arrive, and how will you know the website is working?
From those answers the agency plans the pages, writes or edits the content, designs the layout for phones and desktops, builds the site, tests it and puts it online. A full-service agency then continues with the marketing: search engine optimisation, advertising and regular updates.
Agency, freelancer or website builder?
There are three common ways to get a website, and each suits a different situation.
Do-it-yourself website builders
Tools such as Wix and Squarespace are cheap to start with and fine for a hobby or a very simple site. The cost is your time, and the result depends on your own design and SEO knowledge. Many owners come to us after finding that their self-built site does not appear on Google.
Freelancers
A good freelancer can build a good website. The risk is cover: one person cannot be expert in design, development, SEO and advertising at once, and you depend on that person being available when something breaks.
Agencies
An agency brings the skills together and gives you one point of responsibility. Traditional London agencies charge for that with high prices that are rarely published. Our aim is to give small businesses the joined-up service of an agency at prices closer to a freelancer's, and to show those prices openly.
How to choose a web design agency in London
Whoever you choose, these questions will protect you.
- Can I see live websites you have built? Open them on your phone. Are they fast and easy to use?
- What exactly is included in the price? Ask about content, SEO set-up, forms, hosting and changes after launch.
- Who owns the website and the domain? They should be yours.
- Can I edit the site myself? You should not have to pay for every small change.
- How will the site be found? A design-only agency may leave you with a beautiful site that nobody visits.
- What happens after launch? Find out who fixes problems and what it costs.
Our own answers are on this website: our portfolio is live, our prices are published, you own your website and domain, we show you how to edit your content, on-page SEO is included, and a care plan is available for £45 a month.

Marketing
Our digital marketing services in detail
Design is where most clients start, and marketing is where the website begins to pay for itself. As a full-service agency we provide each of these, separately or together.
Search engine optimisation
We research the keywords your customers use, fix technical problems, optimise each page and add new content every month. Our SEO service has four levels, from £89.99 a month, so a sole trader and a multi-location firm can both find a fit.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
For a local business, the map results on Google often bring more calls than the website results. We set up and maintain your Google Business Profile, keep your name, address and phone number consistent across directories and help you collect genuine reviews.
Google Ads
Search adverts put your business at the top of the page for the exact services you choose, in the areas and at the hours you choose. We build the campaigns, write the adverts, set up call and form tracking, and review the search terms so your budget is not spent on the wrong clicks.
Facebook and Instagram ads
Social adverts suit businesses whose customers do not search but can be tempted: restaurants, beauty, fitness, events and products. We handle the audiences, the creative and the tracking.
Amazon advertising and account management
Few web design agencies in London understand Amazon. We do. We manage Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display campaigns, optimise listings and A+ content, and look after Seller Central accounts for UK brands.
Social media marketing
Planned posts and graphics for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, from £180, so your profiles stay active without taking up your evenings.
Who we work with
Industries our agency designs for
Every trade has its own customers and its own way of winning them. These are the sectors we plan websites for most often.
Trades and home services
Builders, electricians, plumbers, cleaners and clearance firms need local enquiries. We build service and area pages with quote forms and click-to-call buttons.
Restaurants and takeaways
Menus that are readable on a phone, opening hours, booking and ordering links, and a Google profile that matches.
Salons and clinics
Price lists, treatment pages, galleries and online booking, so the diary fills without phone calls.
Professional services
Accountants, solicitors and consultants need to look established. Clear service pages, team profiles and simple enquiry forms.
Retail and product brands
Online shops, and brand websites that work alongside Amazon and other marketplaces.
Property and estate agents
Listings, valuation forms and area guides on fast, mobile-friendly pages.
Working together
What it is like to work with our agency
Small business owners are busy, so we try to make a website project take as little of your time as possible.
You deal with one contact from the quote to the launch, by phone, WhatsApp or email, whichever you prefer. We are open 24 hours, seven days a week, so you can send a message when it suits you rather than during your own working day.
We ask for information once. At the start we send a short list of what we need: your logo, your services, your areas, your photos. If you do not have something, we tell you the simplest way to get it.
You approve before we build. You see the home page design on a phone and on a desktop, and you can ask for changes. Only when you are happy do we build the remaining pages.
Nothing is hidden. The price is fixed in your quote. If you ask for something outside it, we give you a price for that before doing the work.
We stay available. After launch you can manage the site yourself or let us do it through the care plan. If you want more enquiries, we can add SEO or advertising when you are ready, not before.
Our standards
The standards every website from our agency meets
Whatever the size of the project, there are things we do not compromise on. They are the difference between a website that simply exists and one that works for the business.
It is designed for phones first. We lay out the mobile version before the desktop one, because that is how most of your customers will see it.
It loads quickly. Images are compressed, code is kept light and we avoid heavy add-ons. We test loading speed before launch.
It is accessible. Text has enough contrast to read comfortably, buttons are large enough to tap, images carry descriptions and the site can be used with a keyboard.
It is secure. Every site runs over an encrypted connection, and forms are protected against spam.
It is ready for search. Each page has its own title, description and heading structure, the business details are marked up with schema, and a sitemap is submitted to Google.
It respects privacy. We add only the tracking you need, with a clear privacy policy and, where analytics cookies are used, a proper consent banner.
It belongs to you. You hold the domain name and the website. If you ever want to move to another agency, you can.
These standards apply to a £306 one-page website just as they do to a bespoke project. A small budget should buy a smaller website, not a worse one.
If you would like to see these standards in practice, open any of the websites in our portfolio on your phone. Check how quickly the page appears, how easy the buttons are to tap and how soon you can find the phone number. That is the experience your own customers would have.
