Web Design & Digital Solutions for UK Businesses

• Basic websites: 1–2 weeks
• E-commerce sites: 2–4 weeks
• App MVPs: 3–6 weeks (depending on features)

Timelines depend on scope, content readiness, and feedback loops, but I always deliver fast and keep you updated along the way.

Yes! Most projects follow a 50% upfront / 50% on delivery structure.

For larger builds, I'm happy to break payments into 3 or 4 milestones.

Absolutely. I offer CMS integrations (like WordPress or Headless CMS), and I can also provide a short handover video to show you how to manage content or products.

Every quote includes custom design, responsive build, basic SEO setup, testing across devices, and setup of any essential tools (analytics, email forms, etc).

We'll agree everything clearly before we start.

Yes, I'm happy to audit your current site and offer options to improve or rebuild it where needed.

While I don't host sites directly, I'll help you get set up with trusted providers (like GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Vercel) and make sure everything's connected and secure.

Definitely! I specialize in transforming outdated websites into modern, effective digital assets. The process involves:

• Analyzing your current site's strengths and weaknesses
• Redesigning with modern aesthetics and functionality
• Ensuring mobile responsiveness and fast loading speeds
• Preserving your SEO value and content during migration

Your refreshed site will not only look better but also convert more visitors into customers.

Yes, a website is essential for businesses of all sizes today. Here's why:

• 93% of consumers research online before making purchases
• It establishes credibility and professionalism
• You control your brand narrative (unlike on social platforms)
• It's your always-on digital storefront working 24/7
• Local SEO helps nearby customers find your business

Even with limited resources, a simple but effective website can significantly impact your business growth.

Absolutely! Many of our clients aren't tech-savvy, and that's completely fine. I provide:

• Clear, jargon-free explanations at every stage
• Regular updates in plain language
• Training sessions for managing your site after launch
• Documentation and tutorial videos tailored to your needs
• Ongoing support for questions that come up later

The goal is to make the entire process stress-free and educational for you, so you feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.

Futurelab web design stands out for several key reasons:

• Conversion-focused approach - We don't just create beautiful websites, we build sites that turn visitors into customers
• Technical excellence - Our websites score exceptionally well on Google Core Web Vitals and page speed tests
• Full-service capability - From design and development to SEO, content, and maintenance
• Business understanding - We align your website with your specific business goals and target audience
• Direct access to the developer - Work directly with your designer, not account managers

When you choose Futurelab for your web design, you're getting a strategic business asset, not just a pretty website.

Site speed is critical for user experience and SEO. I aim for:

• Under 3 seconds total loading time (industry benchmark)
• Under 1 second for initial content to appear
• Optimized images and code for maximum performance
• Mobile optimization to ensure fast loading on all devices

All of our websites are built with performance in mind, using modern techniques like lazy loading, code minification, and optimized hosting recommendations to ensure your visitors don't bounce due to slow load times.

The key differences are:

• Regular website: Informational platform that showcases your business, services and contact information
• eCommerce website: Online store with product listings, shopping cart, payment processing, and order management

An eCommerce site requires additional features like inventory management, secure payment gateways, user accounts, and order tracking. Most businesses start with a regular website and add eCommerce functionality as they grow, but we can build either type based on your specific needs.
