Our Web Design Services.
Bespoke Websites
When it comes to creating a professional website, we know that a singular approach does not work. A website designed by our team is always a custom design, coded and built with your business needs in mind. Our team of professional website designers specialise in creating business websites and eCommerce stores on WordPress, which is the number one open-source software for website development. This method gives our website developers from Manchester the means to create functionally advanced and aesthetically pleasing websites.
Unique Solutions
Whether it’s a brand new customised website or a simple revamp of your existing website, we will always have a tailored web design solution available for you. Our team of local web designers in Manchester can take your unique website requirements and turn them into a reality to help establish and grow your business online. We specialise in making sure that your website is visually appealing to the user whilst remaining technically appealing to the search engines.
Our Philosophy.
Our websites are created to be technically superior and scalable, evident by our use of on-page search engine optimisation for all clients. As a digital agency in Manchester, we aim to grow your business online correctly, which is why all of our websites are optimised by our in-house team of search engine optimisation experts, ensuring your website not only looks good but can actually be found by your customers.
Over the years, Blue Whale Media has created an excellent track-record as the leading web design agency in Manchester. This experience combined with our level of know how means you and your website will be in safe hands throughout the whole process.
We always create all of our websites in PDF design first. You will work alongside our team of designers to ensure that your website portrays the perfect visual look for your company.
We then develop all our websites on a private development domain, meaning that our customers get to see the complete website and review the functionality before the website goes live.
We also feel that our clients should know how to make simple amendments to a website, like changing content or images. With this in mind, we have developed an online training portal to which you will get access. The portal holds various training videos to watch and use, which can help you learn how to use and edit your website.
Our Process.
A bespoke website is the result of extensive collaboration. When we undertake a new web design project, your website is designed by our graphics team working in conjunction with our web developers and marketing team to ensure a successful, visible & SEO optimised website for your business. This is our way of ensuring that the website is not only visually pleasing, but it is also ready for continued digital marketing and online success.
WordPress Experts in Manchester.
WordPress was initially renowned for its blogging capabilities but has become the go-to choice for web development in recent years. WordPress currently powers a quarter of all websites internationally, the highest market share of any CMS. The open-source nature of WordPress means that it is constantly updated by an active community with new features and plugins. These updates enhance the powerful capabilities of the CMS. The clean coding of WordPress means that search engines love WordPress-developed websites as they are easy to optimise for SEO. It comes as no surprise that WordPress is the favourite for many agencies, including our own website design company in Manchester.

Retainer Websites
from £9,500 +vat
90 day contract
The size and complexity of the website will directly influence the costs involved with building the website*.
Websites built on a flexible open source platform that allows your site to grow and change with your business.
Custom amount of website pages with content written or current content rewritten.
Photoshop designs of each page with two sets of amendments, one set of post production design amendments per page.
Retainer websites are hand-built by our own in-house developers, retainer websites are superfast and of a bespoke design, like no other on the web.
As you add rich features such as images, videos and content, you can expect more leads and sales, but this comes with a higher build cost of course, sometimes two to three times this base cost.
A good lead generation website lasts around 2 years – so the cost including hosting often equates to around £500/mth over that time.
It is possible to build using off-the-shelf systems, but this approach does not generate the same visibility, leads or sales for your business or brand.
We perform top level security, maintenance and updates on a routine basis.
*Starting at £9,500, but price will vary depending on the spec of the website.
