Web design & digital marketing in Shrewsbury
Web design in Shrewsbury, from a team based in the town
We're a Shrewsbury-based team building high-converting websites and lead systems for local businesses.
HDC Consultancy is based in Battlefield, Shrewsbury. We help Shropshire businesses, trades, independents, professional services and more, get found on Google, win trust online and turn visitors into booked work. Being local means we can meet you face-to-face, and we understand the market you are selling into.
Serving Shrewsbury and the surrounding area
From our office on Battlefield Enterprise Park, we're minutes from the heart of the county town. We work with businesses right across Shrewsbury — independent retailers in the River Severn loop, healthcare and professional-services firms, and the light-industry and distribution companies out at Shrewsbury Business Park and Emstrey. Being on your doorstep means we can sit down with you in person, and we understand the market you're selling into.
We also work with businesses in and around:
- Bayston Hill
- Meole Brace
- Bicton
- Atcham
- Bomere Heath
- Baschurch

Built for local search

Garden & Outdoor Living
All Season Garden Rooms
A premium garden-room maker whose website didn't do the product justice. A photography-led rebuild plus tightly targeted local ads brought over 100 enquiries in the first month, at around £5 each.
Read the case studyAutomotive & Vehicle Rental
DriveOn Vehicle Rental
A rental business whose stock changed daily and whose enquiries arrived at all hours. We built a site with live vehicle availability, an AI assistant that answers instantly, and follow-up that runs itself.
Read the case studyWhy most Shrewsbury websites look fine and still bring in nothing
A site can be modern, attractive and only two years old and still produce almost no enquiries. When we audit one and work out why, it is rarely the design.
We ran an automated audit of 100 Shropshire SME websites for our 2026 Shropshire SME Website Report. 38% failed a basic technical standard, 42% took more than three seconds to load and 15% had no clear way to enquire on the homepage at all. That is the field you are competing in, and it is mostly good news.
01
It opens with a statement, not an answer
The visitor arrived with a question. The page opens with a strapline, a stock photograph and a slow carousel, and the thing they came for is three scrolls down.
02
It is slow where it is actually used
Most of this traffic arrives on a phone, on mobile data, often outdoors. A site that feels quick on office broadband can be close to unusable in a van on a job.
03
Enquiring is harder than it looks
Only half the sites we audited had a contact form anywhere. A phone number in an image, a form that fails silently, or three clicks to reach either, all cost the same thing.
04
Nothing tells you where the work came from
The form emails somebody and the trail ends there. No record, no source, so no way to know which page or which advert produced the job you just won.
What the first month looks like
No mystery, and no long silence while something is built out of sight. This is the order we work in, and you see the output of every stage.
-
Week 1
Scope, structure and the URL map
What the site has to achieve, the pages that needs, and the URL map agreed with you before any code exists. If pages are moving, the redirects are planned here, so nothing that currently ranks is lost on launch day.
-
Weeks 1 to 2
Design on your real content
The key pages designed with your actual words and photographs rather than placeholder text, so the thing you approve is the thing you get.
-
Weeks 2 to 3
Build, with the plumbing in
Built to be fast and accessible, with the enquiry form, the searchable record it writes into, the alerts and the analytics wired in as part of the build rather than bolted on afterwards.
-
Weeks 3 to 4
Test, launch, hand over
A private preview for your approval, a real enquiry pushed through end to end before anything goes live, then launch. The site and its content are yours outright.
We quote one fixed price before the work starts rather than billing by the hour, so you know the number in advance. How we price explains how we get to it.
Web design in Shrewsbury: your questions answered
Are you actually based in Shrewsbury?
Yes, our office is in Battlefield, Shrewsbury (SY1 3EH). You are welcome to meet us in person, which not many digital agencies serving the area can offer.
Do you only work with Shrewsbury businesses?
No. We are based in Shrewsbury and love working with local businesses, but we deliver web design, SEO and marketing remotely for clients across Shropshire and the wider UK too.
Can you help my Shrewsbury business get found on Google?
Yes, that's local SEO. We optimise your Google Business Profile and website so you appear for local 'near me' searches and in Google's map pack for Shrewsbury and the surrounding area.
How much does a website cost?
We price around outcomes rather than hours, so it depends on what you need. The best starting point is a free audit, we'll show you what's costing you enquiries and give you honest options.
Are you a web design agency near Shrewsbury?
Yes. HDC Consultancy is a Shropshire-based web design and digital marketing agency, and Shrewsbury is one of the towns we work in regularly. You get a UK team you can actually meet, not an offshore contractor or a reseller passing the work on. If you are comparing local web design companies, ask all of them who writes the code, who owns the domain and hosting at the end, and what happens if you leave — the answers vary more than you would expect.
