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.

DVC Group
A B2B decarbonisation business selling a considered, trust-led product. We built a site credible enough for corporate buyers and visible enough to be found without ad spend.
Read the case studyWhy most Whitchurch 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 Whitchurch: your questions answered
Do you work with Whitchurch businesses?
Yes. We are based in nearby Shrewsbury, a short drive from Whitchurch, so we work closely with the town's retailers, service firms and rural businesses, and can meet you in person.
We are an established local business, can you modernise our website?
That is exactly the kind of work we do. We build modern, fast websites that keep what people value about your reputation while giving you the tools to win new enquiries online.
Can you help us reach customers in the surrounding rural area?
Yes. We optimise your site and Google Business Profile for Whitchurch and the surrounding rural economy, so nearby customers find you in local and 'near me' searches.
What does a new website cost?
We price around outcomes rather than hours, so it depends on what you need. Start with a free audit and we'll give you honest options.
Are you a web design agency near Whitchurch?
Yes. HDC Consultancy is a Shropshire-based web design and digital marketing agency, and Whitchurch 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.
