01
Designed Around Your Business
Every site is shaped around your customers, your offer, and the action you want visitors to take. Your brand looks distinct, professional, and built to convert.
Website Design Services for Small Business
Your website should bring in customers, not just exist on the internet. We build small business websites that look right, load fast, rank on Google, and actually get people to pick up the phone. 6+ years of hands-on web design experience with 50+ businesses served across our portfolio, and that’s all we’ve been doing.
Our Clients
You Already Know Your Website Isn’t Working
Here is what we hear from small business owners every week:
“I paid someone to build my site two years ago and I haven’t had a single enquiry from it.”
“My website looks like it was built in 2015 because it was.”
“I found someone cheap on a freelance site. They disappeared halfway through.”
“I don’t even know if my website shows up on Google.”
If any of that sounds familiar, you aren’t alone. Most small business owners have been burned by a bad experience, talked into something they didn’t need, or put their website at the bottom of the to-do list because it felt too expensive or confusing. That’s exactly why RunWeb exists. And why our website design services for small businesses are built around fixing these exact problems.
What’s Included
What You Get With Our Small Business Web Design Services
We handle every part of the process. You don’t need to bring content, logos, or technical knowledge. Just bring your business goals and we sort the rest.
02
Copywriting for Your Customers
We write every word on your site. Clear, honest copy that tells visitors what you do, why they should care, and what to do next.
03
SEO Built Into the Foundation
Proper headings, meta data, image optimisation, internal linking, and schema markup. Integrated from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
04
Mobile-First Responsive Design
Designed for phones first, then scaled up to tablets and desktops. Because that is how the majority of your customers actually browse.
05
Built for Speed, Not Just Looks
Clean code, compressed images, fast hosting. Every site is built to pass Core Web Vitals and load in under three seconds on any device.
06
AI-Ready and LLM Optimised
We structure your site with schema markup, FAQ blocks, and author attribution so Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can find and reference your business.

We Write Every Word for You
Most agencies hand you a content checklist and wait. We write everything. Clear, direct copy your customers respond to, structured for search engines at the same time.
On-Time Delivery, Every Time
We agree on a timeline before any work starts and stick to it. If something shifts, we tell you before it becomes a problem.
No Hidden Fees, No Lock-In
The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise invoices. No 12-month contracts you didn’t know you were signing.
We Ask the Right Questions
Half the job of a good website is understanding the business behind it. We dig into your goals before we design a thing.
Built In-House, Maintained In-House
Because we design, write, and build everything ourselves, post-launch changes happen directly. No third-party developer in the loop.
Same-Day Replies, Every Time
You can call us, email us, or message us. You hear back the same day. That puts us ahead of most agencies you will have dealt with.
The RunWeb Difference
A polished design is easy. A site that converts is the hard part.
| Many Web Design Agencies | RunWeb | |
|---|---|---|
| Reply time | A few days, sometimes longer | Same-day, usually within hours |
| Page speed | Often not tested properly | Benchmarked on real phones, real networks |
| Found on Google | Tags added at the end | Built into the structure from day one |
| AI search ready | Often not on the radar | Schema and clean code so AI tools can read it |
| Words on the page | Left for you to figure out | Written for you, around what your customers actually ask |
| Design approach | Pulled from a template library | Drawn around your business and your buyers |
| Revisions | Two rounds, then extra fees | Refined until you are happy |
| Contracts | Locked in, hard to leave | Clear terms, no surprises |

How long does it take to build a small business website?
2 to 4 weeks from the first call to launch. Depends on the size and how quickly you give us feedback. We agree on a timeline upfront and stick to it.
Do I need to write the content for my website?
No. We write all the copy. Headlines, page content, calls-to-action, meta descriptions. All optimised for SEO and written in plain language that speaks to your customers.
Will my website be optimised for search engines?
Yes. Every website includes on-page SEO as standard. Proper heading structures, keyword-targeted meta data, optimised images, internal links, schema markup, and content structured for both Google and AI search tools.
What platform do you build on?
We choose based on your needs. WordPress is the most common for small businesses. We recommend the right option during the discovery call.
Can I update the website myself after it goes live?
Yes. We build every site so you can make basic changes yourself. We also offer ongoing support if you would rather have us handle updates.
What if I already have a website that I want redesigned?
That is a big part of what we do. We review your current site, tell you what is working and what is not, and rebuild it properly.
How do you handle AI and voice search?
We structure your site with schema markup, FAQ blocks, and author attribution so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity can find and cite your business. Voice assistants pull from the same structured data, so both are covered by the same build.
Will my website work on phones and tablets?
Every site we build is mobile-first. We design the mobile version first, then scale up. Your site will look right and work properly on every screen size.
What happens after my website is launched?
We don’t disappear. We stay available for questions, small changes, and issues. We also offer ongoing maintenance and support plans for regular updates, security patches, and performance monitoring.
Do you design websites for businesses outside the UK?
Yes. Most of our clients are UK-based, but we have built websites for businesses in other regions too. The process is the same.
