Web Design for Cheshire Businesses

I’m Mark Draper, a WordPress web designer based in Heaton Moor — a few minutes from the Cheshire border, and closer to Cheadle and Bramhall than most of the agencies that rank for “web design Cheshire”. I build websites for Cheshire small businesses that are designed to bring in customers, from £500 with SEO and support included.

A Local Designer Without the Agency Price Tag

Cheshire has no shortage of design agencies, and some of them do lovely work — at £4,000, £8,000, sometimes £15,000 a project. Most small businesses don’t need that. They need a professional, fast, Google-ready website from someone experienced who answers their own phone.

sThat’s the gap I fill: custom WordPress design, local SEO from day one, hosting and maintenance handled, and one person accountable for all of it. You’ll find the full service and pricing breakdown on my main web design page — the short version is: websites from £500, hosting and support from £35 a month, everything agreed up front.

Where I Work Across Cheshire

Being on the Stockport–Cheshire border means east Cheshire is genuinely local to me, not a pin on an agency’s coverage map.

Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme

Ten minutes away; happy to meet face to face.

Bramhall and Woodford

The same, and home to several of the area’s most switched-on small businesses.

Poynton, Wilmslow and Alderley Edge

An easy trip for kick-off meetings and reviews.

Macclesfield and Knutsford

In person for the milestones, video calls in between.

Further across the county — Northwich, Chester, Crewe — everything works smoothly over video calls, the same way I work with clients across the UK and USA.

What Cheshire Clients Get

The same service Stockport clients get, because it’s the same person doing the work:

  • Custom WordPress design built around one goal: enquiries.
  • Local SEO set up from day one, so Google connects you to your town and your trade.
  • WooCommerce online shops with secure, mobile-friendly checkout.
  • Hosting, SSL, daily backups and updates in one monthly fee.
  • You own everything — domain, content and site — with a free full export any time you want it.

“I can’t rate Mark highly enough — really thoughtful and considered approach. He got the push and pulls of running a charity and supported us to get us over the line. Huge thank you.”

— Nik, charity client

How It Works

A free 30-minute discovery call to understand your business. A draft website to review within 30 days. Live within 4–6 weeks, then supported month by month while it works for you 24/7. The detail is on the main web design page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you meet clients in person?

Yes — across east Cheshire (Cheadle, Bramhall, Wilmslow, Poynton, Macclesfield, Knutsford) I’m happy to meet face to face for kick-off and key reviews. Everything else works over video calls, which most clients end up preferring for speed.

How much does a website cost?

From £500 as a one-off design fee, plus from £35 a month for hosting, support and maintenance. Larger sites and online shops get a fixed quote before any work starts.

Aren’t you a Stockport web designer?

Based in Stockport, yes — about as close to the Cheshire border as it’s possible to be. Distance matters less than it used to, but if a local face-to-face relationship matters to you, I’m nearer than most “Cheshire” agencies.

Who looks after the website afterwards?

I do. Hosting, security, updates and small changes are covered by the monthly fee — one person to call, and it’s the same person who built the site.
