Independent web design studio
Websites that win you clients.
Most small business websites were built years ago, in a hurry, by someone who never asked how the business actually wins work. Amberswood Media builds fast, considered, fixed-price websites for service businesses — practices, studios, trades, and firms — designed around how your customers choose you.
Sites from £850, fixed. No hourly billing.
Fixed fee agreed up front
Two weeks from brief to live
Mobile-first, fast on any device
Cared for month after month
Why Amberswood
Built around how your customers choose you
Designed for trust
Before anyone calls you, they look you up. Your website either reassures them or loses them in seconds. Every build starts with what your customers need to see to pick up the phone.
Fixed price, fast delivery
A clear scope, a fixed fee agreed before work begins, and a finished site in around two weeks. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no six-month agency timelines.
Looked after, long after launch
Hosting, security, content changes, and Google Business Profile management on a simple monthly retainer, so the site keeps working for you while you work.
The businesses
Built by Amberswood
Every site here was designed, built, and launched from scratch — and is still looked after today.

Pricing
Two packages. Fixed prices. No surprises.
Every project is quoted before it starts and the price doesn't move. Pick the size that fits, and if you're not sure, the first conversation will tell you.
Launch
£850 fixed
A single-page website that does everything a small business needs, done properly.
- One-page site, designed for your business
- Written content, drafted for you
- Mobile-first and fast to load
- Enquiry path that turns visits into calls
- Live on your domain in around two weeks
Complete
£1,500 fixed
A full multi-page website for businesses with more to show and more to say.
- Up to five pages, structured around your services
- Photo galleries, testimonials, and team sections
- Written content, drafted for you
- Google Business Profile set up and connected
- Live on your domain in around two weeks
Flexible payment: split the build fee 50% to begin and 50% at launch, or spread it over three monthly instalments — the price stays the same either way.
After launch: hosting, security, and updates are handled on a simple care plan from £30 a month, so the site never goes stale and you never have to think about it.
If a better website wins you one additional customer a month, it has paid for itself before the first invoice feels real.
How it works
Three steps from first call to launch
A short conversation
Twenty minutes on what you do, who your customers are, and what the current website is costing you. No pitch, no obligation.
A free preview
You get a sample homepage, designed for your business, before you commit to anything. If it doesn't impress you, you owe nothing and keep the goodwill.
The build and launch
A fixed quote, then design and build in around two weeks. The site goes live on your domain with hosting, security, and updates handled from day one.
Specialism
Legal & professional services
Professional practices are judged differently. Before anyone instructs a solicitor, an accountant, or a surveyor, they look for credibility, clarity, and a reason to trust — and most practice websites give them none of the three.
Amberswood builds for that standard: sites structured around how regulated practices win work, with the tone, detail, and reassurance their clients expect to see.
About
A small studio that finishes things properly
Amberswood Media is an independent web design studio in the North West of England, built on a simple idea: most businesses don't need a bigger agency, they need a better website.
One point of contact, fixed prices agreed up front, and work designed around how your customers actually choose you, not around what looks good in a portfolio. Sites are built lean and fast, launched in weeks rather than months, and looked after long after they go live.
Your website should be winning you customers.
If it isn't, it's costing you them. Get in touch for a straightforward conversation, and a free homepage preview if you like what you hear.

Service terms
All client work is carried out under Amberswood Media's written terms of engagement, provided and agreed before any project begins. In summary: build fees are fixed and payable as agreed in the engagement terms; care plan fees are payable monthly in advance. Amberswood Media reserves the right to suspend or halt work on any project, and to suspend ongoing services including hosting and maintenance (on reasonable prior notice), where invoices or retainer payments remain unpaid after their due date. Business customers are reminded that overdue sums may attract interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Ownership of website design and content created for a client transfers to the client on payment in full; until then it remains the property of Amberswood Media. Amberswood Media may display completed work, and the client's name and logo, in its portfolio unless otherwise agreed in writing.
