Whether you require a simple website, a major company portal or anything in between (see our products and services), you've come to the right place!

Web Design UK have been designing and hosting websites for over 10 years which is a lifetime in Internet terms.

We started out originally by focussing on small/medium businesses who didn't have the resources, the time or the expertise to get themselves an online presence.

Since then, by keeping up with the latest in web development and continually maintaining low overheads, we still champion that original SME sector but have expanded to meet the needs of all companies and individuals who require quality web design and hosting at the most competitive prices.

Ecommerce: 

If you've read anything at all about ecommerce sites, often called shopping cart sites, you'll probably know at least three things: ecommerce sites are the most exciting way to do business, ecommerce sites can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly ecommerce sites are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.

Web Design UK is set to change the last two ... Web Design UK is different from the normal web design companies. For a start, we don't make things complicated so that we can charge outrageous prices. Web Design UK has developed a shopping cart system. called eShop that is reliable, simple to operate and inexpensive whilst using cutting edge technology to perform the complicated tasks in the background.

Once we have installed your eShop, (in as little as 48 hours), it is simple for even non-technical users to add or edit content, update images, and to manage the critical data that makes your eShop go. Anybody with basic word processing skills can easily learn to manage an eShop site.

Via a simple, browser-based interface you will be able to easily add new products, images and create an unlimited amount of sections or content pages on your site.
