Web Design Sheffield
Our Sheffield web design and development services aren’t just about making a website look good. We’re an award winning small team of UK based specialists that carefully curate a strategy to improve business and increase website traffic.
We’ll use the same methods that helped you find our site, to bring people to yours.
Strategy01
A clear strategy defining who your audience is and how best to target them is fundamental to the way we work. Extensive research into your competition and industry will highlight the most lucrative ways of bringing customers to your site and direct our design, development and marketing.
Branding02
Branding is much more than just a logo and aesthetics. It’s the collective look and feel of all the smaller things that typically go unnoticed, but impact the overall impression of the business. Good branding is critical in creating a sense of trust, credibility and authority. We believe that good branding should lead website design.
Web Design03
We’re confident in our ability to design a website that you’ll love. That’s why we offer unlimited concepts and revisions throughout the design process. We’ll work with you until you’re completely happy with the visuals. We’ve operated in this way for the last nine years.
Web Development04
Writing concise code for a website is critical to loading speed, user experience, search ranking performance and getting clicks in your online advertising. It’s the foundation of the success of a website that drives sales and marketing.
Edge Studio Collaborative
We’re not an agency
We’re a collaboration of specialists based in Sheffield (UK) that work together to fulfil two fundamental goals:
Web Design Sheffield
Why combine search engine strategy & web design?
When it comes to getting found online, your search engine ranking is everything. For example, 98% of this website’s visits come from Google searches – our business fundamentally exists because our website is optimised to rank in 1st position for all its targeted keywords and content. And, because of this, we don’t need to pay for any other form of marketing or advertising.
We fundamentally believe that search optimisation and marketing strategy must be carefully considered at all stages of design and development and it’s not something that can be applied successfully as an after-thought.

Client Case Studies
Several examples showing exactly what’s involved in a website/SEO project.
Clients
We work with clients across the UK, but our heart is in Sheffield.
We’ve collaborated with businesses and organisations in both public and private sectors spanning retail, healthcare, sports, technology, music, and transport industries.
Our services have assisted in integrating point-of-sale stock systems, streamlining healthcare processes, managing bookings and events, as well as designing portfolios and blogs. Additionally, we offer white-label services to design agencies to help them offload work.
We work remotely with clients from all over the country, as well as right here in Sheffield.

Fight Label

SEO
Search Engine Optimisation
It’s a misconception that a newly built website will immediately start bringing in traffic through services like Google. The harsh reality is that a new website often won’t have many visits (if any) for the first 6-12 months unless it has been specifically optimised or targets achievable and popular search terms.
Websites that rank well are designed and developed this way from the beginning, with SEO woven into every aspect of their design.
Project Management
Reliability
One of the key things that sets us apart from larger design agencies is that you have direct contact with the individuals working on your project. We meet as a collective group at the beginning of projects and then manage each phase individually. This cuts down miscommunication issues as your feedback goes directly to the experts.
We pride ourselves in being transparent, approachable and available. Trust and reliability are key to our business, and this is reflected by the repeat custom we continue to receive from large organisations.
Two Web/UI Designers
Designers are responsible for how a website looks and how users interact with the site. Our designers work with UX data and consider accessibility in every project.
One Brand Designer
Creating premium branding for businesses is a very specialist role. With many years of experience, you’re in the best possible hands with our talented brand designer, Ed.
Five Developers
Google looks at load speed as one of its ranking factors, but it takes talent to build a high-functioning site that doesn’t slow down your browser. Our team writes fast, concise code that excels.
One Marketing Specialist
We are able to offer a range of digital marketing services, including pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, email marketing and social media setup, support and marketing.
One Copywriter
Good content is written for the reader, but great content will also speak directly to search engines to help boost your ranking. Our copywriter creates on-brand content that ticks both boxes.
One Videographer
Depending on the nature of your business, videos can be a valuable asset to your online presence. If you use videos, it’s fundamental that they’re high quality and tied into your business’s branding.

Questions
Answers to regular questions we get asked.
Why is strategy needed for a website?
Based on some clever technology and our experience we can predict website traffic and the potential conversion rates (visits vs sales). We use this strategy to determine the structure, layout, content and design of your website.
Can I make changes to the sites myself?
We spend a similar amount of time designing a backend system that is user friendly and intuitive to use as the front. This will be custom built specifically for you to provide full control.
Will a website bring in new business?
Unfortunately, simply building and launching a new website won’t instantly expose your business to the world. A website needs a marketing strategy, whether this is through search engines, paid advertising or social media. We find the most lucrative way to improve business.
Websites can be built cheaply. Why do these sites cost more?
It takes time to understand your business, we do extensive research to ensure that your website is designed in a way that is both effective and visually appealing. We don’t speed up development by using templates as we design sites to be unique.
Do you offer a development only service?
We’re happy to assist you through any phase of creating your website. This can include any of these component; research, marketing, design, development and SEO.
Is there any guarantee my search results will improve?
Anyone who blindly promises to get you to the ‘top of Google’ doesn’t understand how SEO works. We won’t make promises until we’ve done the research and worked out what needs to be done. We will then present this information to you along with traffic predictions.
How do I know you can improve my SEO?
If you’re getting help from an SEO business, a good way to tell if they’re worth their salt is to look at how well their own website ranks. If they can’t get their own site to perform, they’ll likely struggle to do the same for you.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is different as we quote specifically based on your requirements. As a very rough guide projects start at around £5,000.
Can we meet in person in Sheffield?
We generally work from our home offices but have meeting space available at our registered address at The Circle in Sheffield.
