Sheffield
Web design in Sheffield for small businesses.
One half of Swift Web Design is Sheffield born and raised. If you want a website builder who knows the difference between Hillsborough and Heeley without checking a map, that is the honest reason to start here.
From £400 • No VAT to add • 2–8 weeks • Yours once paid & live
Where we actually are
Local, and honest about what that means.
Plenty of agencies claim to be local when they are not. We would rather tell you how it really works.
Swift Web Design is two people. Josh, who writes most of what you read on this site, is from Sheffield and still lives here. Harry, the other half of the business, is down in Kettering. Neither of us works out of an office, so you will not find us claiming a Sheffield high street address we do not have.
What being local does change: if you want to meet, that is genuinely possible rather than a polite fiction. And when you describe your customers, we already know the area they are coming from.
We work with businesses across the whole UK. Sheffield just happens to be home for one of us.
What Sheffield businesses ask for
The work, in plain terms.
Most of what we get asked for in Sheffield falls into three groups. Nearly every job is some mix of them.
A first proper website
You have been running on a Facebook page and word of mouth. It works, until someone searches for what you do and finds a competitor instead. This is the most common job we take on.
Replacing something dated
The site exists but it was built years ago, breaks on a phone, and you cannot edit it without ringing whoever made it. We rebuild it so you can change your own opening hours.
Being found locally
Google Business Profile set up properly, location pages that read like a person wrote them, and the technical groundwork so Sheffield searches actually surface you.
Proof
A local trades business, from nothing to found.
Peak Plastering came to us with no website at all. An Instagram page, a Facebook profile, and quote requests quietly dying in DM inboxes.
We built the whole thing from scratch: contact forms that actually capture a job, a professional business email instead of a personal address, and local SEO so nearby customers find them when they search. Enquiries now land somewhere useful.

We also built a Sheffield restaurant concept called Ember & Oak Kitchen as a demo, if you want to see the standard we design to before you commit to anything. Have a look →
The reason this business exists is a number. Josh kept watching small firms get quoted three grand before anyone had built anything. So the pricing here is deliberately blunt.
- Websites start at £400 and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- We are not VAT registered, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay.
- Most builds run 2 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast content comes back to us.
- Once it’s paid in full and live, the site, the domain and the content are yours.
- Larger projects take a 20% deposit, with the rest due before go-live.
