Preston · Lancashire
Web design and development for Preston businesses — Lancashire's city — from the Fishergate retailers to UCLan's student economy. Fast, custom, and built to convert.
Working in Preston
Preston is Lancashire's city and its commercial heart: the Fishergate shopping core, a big student population at UCLan, and a broad base of professional and B2B firms. In a market that size, a fast, credible website is table stakes — and a slow, generic one costs you real enquiries.
We build sites and web apps that stand out and load instantly, with the technical and local SEO to compete across the city. Owned code, no lock-in, a real person on the phone — and a headless CMS so you edit it yourself, exactly like this site.
Preston also runs on a rhythm few places can match — the Preston Guild, the merchant celebration held every twenty years, with the next due in 2032. Long-lived local firms, from family retailers to legal and accountancy practices, tend to be proud of their history, and we like building sites that show that heritage while still loading in a blink.
Around here
What we build
Mobile-first sites and offers designed for UCLan students and staff, with term-time timing built in.
Online shops, click-and-collect and event pages that help city-centre independents compete with out-of-town parks.
Credible, accessible sites and tender-friendly content for B2B firms serving councils, colleges and the NHS.
Ticketing, listings and hospitality pages for match days at Deepdale and shows around the city.
By the numbers
Questions
We build a clear Preston page for city searches and structured service-area content for the wider county, rather than cramming both onto one page. That keeps each page relevant to what people actually type.
Yes. Students search on phones, compare quickly and respond to clear offers, so we prioritise speed, simple pricing and easy contact, then time campaigns to the academic year.
Preston is about an hour away by road or rail, so we can meet in person for kick-off and key workshops and keep the rest to video.
Yes. We map every existing URL, set up redirects, keep the content that performs and improve what doesn't, then monitor after launch.
