Web design in Wrexham, by a Wrexham studio

Most Wrexham businesses we speak to have one of two websites: an ageing one a friend built years ago, or a template that looks like every other template. Both quietly cost you work, because people check you online before they ring, and they decide in seconds whether you look like the safe choice.

We are not a faceless national outfit. Webso is run from Wrexham by Daniel Stoychev, who studied Computer Science at Wrexham University and builds every site personally. You can meet us in town, talk through what you actually need, and see your homepage designed for free before you decide anything at all.

Wrexham has grown quickly since city status, and the businesses winning work here are the ones that look the part online. That is the gap we close: proper bespoke design and engineering, at a price a local business can justify rather than agency rates borrowed from Manchester.

What actually makes a website earn its keep is less about looks than most people expect. It loads in about a second on a phone, because that is where most of your visitors are and slow pages lose them before they read anything. It says plainly what you do and where, in the first line, rather than opening with a welcome message. It gives every service you want to be found for its own page, instead of burying six services in one. And it makes contacting you effortless, with a phone number that is tappable and a form short enough that people actually finish it.

We build every site on Next.js, hand-coded rather than assembled from a page builder, which is why our recent builds return scores above 90 on Google's own speed test. That matters twice over: Google factors page experience into rankings, and visitors judge you on it whether they realise it or not. The same build also ships with the search foundations included, so structured data, sitemaps and Search Console are done on day one rather than sold to you later as an upgrade.

One honest note before you spend anything. If your work comes entirely through word of mouth and your diary is already full, a new website may not change your life, and a properly set up Google Business Profile might be all the online presence you need this year. We have told people exactly that and lost the job. Where a proper site pays for itself is when customers are searching for what you do and finding someone else.
