Staffordshire-made websites for Staffordshire businesses
Hanley workshops. Jaguar factories. Lichfield independents. Stoke-on-Trent has always been a place that makes things. We build websites the same way: properly, locally, and to last.
From the Potteries to the web
We started this agency because we kept seeing Staffordshire businesses sold cookie-cutter templates by agencies that didn't understand them. Every firm we talked to threw jargon at us, quoted London prices, and disappeared after the invoice was paid.
So we built the agency we wished existed: Staffordshire-based, straightforward, and focused on what works. No fluff, no hidden costs, just websites that bring in business.
Twelve years later, we've designed and built sites for many West Midlands businesses. Tradespeople in Etruria, retailers in Hanley, solicitors in Stone, food startups on Lichfield Street. We still price fairly, still talk plainly, and still believe Staffordshire businesses deserve good design without the London postcode premium.
Stoke-on-Trent was UK City of Culture 2021. That creative energy hasn't gone anywhere. You can see it in the independents on Lichfield Street, the makers in Hanley, and the students from our two universities. It's part of what we bring to every project.
Your website is where customers decide whether to contact you. We treat that moment with the same care Staffordshire's makers put into their own work.
This service is operated by SparkByte Ltd, a UK web design, software and AI automation company. SparkByte Ltd owns and manages this local microsite to make it easier for Staffordshire businesses to find the help they need.
What guides us
No corporate mission statement framed on the wall. Just five principles that shape every decision we make and every line of code we write.
Design for results, not applause
A beautiful website that doesn't convert is a failed project. We measure our work by enquiries, sales, and bookings, not design awards.
No jargon, no surprises
We explain everything in plain English. We give fixed prices before we start. We share timelines you can track. That's just how we work.
Build it to last
We write clean, documented code on platforms that won't leave you stuck in two years. A website should serve your business for years, not need rebuilding every time a trend changes.
Your site, your control
We don't lock you in. Every client gets CMS training. Every site is built so you can update it yourself. And if you ever need help, we're here.
Staffordshire first
We live here. We work here. We understand the local market because we're part of it. When a Staffordshire customer searches for what you do, we know how to make sure they find you.
How we work together
We're a small, senior team. The people you talk to in discovery are the same people who design and build your site. No account managers, no handoffs to junior staff, no outsourcing to freelancers in time zones you've never heard of.
Our designer
Designs user experience, wireframes, and visual layouts. Every page structured to move visitors toward getting in touch.
Our developer
Writes the code behind those designs. Fast, well-structured, and built so any developer can pick it up later.
Our project lead
Keeps everything on track, communicates timelines, and makes sure you never wonder what's happening with your project.
Rooted in Staffordshire and the West Midlands
We work with businesses across Staffordshire. We can meet you in person when it helps: over coffee, at your office, or on a video call. And because we're local, we understand the business landscape in a way a remote agency never could.
We know that a tradesman in Etruria needs a different kind of site than a boutique in Hanley. We know that local SEO for Staffordshire isn't the same as local SEO for London. The competition is different, the customer behaviour is different, and the keywords that matter are different.
We've worked with businesses across Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands: Etruria, Stone, Hanley, Lichfield, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and beyond. We know the local customer base because we shop locally, eat locally, and build for the people in our own postcode.
