Is Your Website Letting You Down?

British businesses are losing leads every single day because of an outdated or underperforming website. Sound familiar?

🐢

Slow Site

Pages load like it's 2010 and customers click away before they even see your offer.

📉

Not Converting

Plenty of visitors, very few enquiries. Your site looks fine but it isn't doing the selling.

🔍

Invisible on Google

You're nowhere on page one — and your competitors are stealing the work that should be yours.

Looks Outdated

Tired design erodes trust. If your site looks dated, prospects assume your business is too.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It

Here's what one of our valued UK clients had to say…

— Kate Ingram, Chief Operations Officer

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

How much does a website cost? +

Every project is priced individually based on the scope, but most UK small-business websites we build start from around £2,500 + VAT. We'll send you a clear, fixed quote before any work begins.

How long does a website take to build? +

Typically 4–8 weeks from kick-off, depending on complexity and how quickly content and feedback come through.

Do you work with businesses outside Cambridgeshire? +

Absolutely. We work with clients across the entire UK — London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and everywhere in between.

What platform is my website built on? +

Most often WordPress or Shopify, but we also build fully custom platforms when the brief calls for it.

Will my website show up on Google? +

Yes — every site we build is SEO-ready from launch, with technical foundations the search engines love.

What is ADA & WCAG? +

These are accessibility standards. In the UK, your site also needs to meet the Equality Act 2010 — and we build to those standards as default.

Do you offer a support after launch? +

Yes. We offer flexible monthly care plans covering hosting, updates, backups and ongoing tweaks.

How do I know if Whelan is the right fit for us? +

The easiest way is a quick 20-minute call. No pressure — just an honest conversation about whether we're the right team for the job.

Who is the best web design agency in Cambridgeshire? +

We'd love to say us — but the right answer is whoever genuinely understands your business. Have a chat with us and decide for yourself.
