Your go-to team for website design in Solihull – delivering modern, responsive WordPress websites that make an impact and deliver for your business.
A well-designed website isn’t just about looking good, it’s your digital storefront, your brand ambassador, and often your first chance to make a lasting impression. At Lamplighter Digital, we craft custom websites that not only reflect your unique brand but also work seamlessly across devices, deliver lightning-fast load times, and guide your visitors exactly where they need to go.
We don’t do templates or off-the-shelf solutions. Every website we build is tailored to your business goals, your audience, and your industry. Whether you need a sleek brochure site, a robust service-led layout, or something completely bespoke, we’ll create a digital home that’s designed to grow with you.
Whether you’re a start-up based in Olton, an established business in Knowle, or a growing company with customers across Solihull, our custom website design services help you stand out online. We combine user-first design with smart functionality and SEO-ready structure to make sure your website doesn’t just look amazing but moves you closer to achieving your business goals.
From concept to launch, we collaborate with you to build something powerful, professional, and uniquely yours. That means wireframes, branding alignment, copywriting guidance, and performance optimisation all rolled into one.
We’ll kick things off with a Discovery Call where we learn about your business, your brand, and what you want your new website to achieve.
This is all about understanding your goals and your audience so we can design with purpose.
Before putting pen to paper (or code to screen), we’ll review your existing website (if you have one).
We’ll identify what’s working, what’s holding you back, and how we can create a design that better represents your business online.
Next, we’ll put together a tailored proposal that outlines the design approach, functionality, and structure of your new site.
We’ll provide package options to suit different needs and budgets, from simple brochure-style websites to fully-featured eCommerce solutions. This way, you’ll have the flexibility to choose a package that suits you and also gives your customers the right online experience.
Once you’re happy, we’ll schedule a Kick-Off session to agree on key milestones and communication points.
Then we get to work and start bringing your brand to life by designing and building a website that looks great, works seamlessly, and is optimised for both users and search engines.
We’ll have regular check ins along the way so you get the opportunity to make any amends and builds.
When your new site is ready, we’ll handle the launch and make sure everything runs smoothly. We’ll also provide training so you feel confident updating your website and content yourself.
Every package includes 12 months of ongoing website maintenance, covering security, backups, and essential upkeep so your site stays fast, secure, and up to date while you get your business established.
The cost of web design depends on the size and functionality of your site. Our most basic packages start at £999, making it an affordable way to establish a professional online presence. Larger websites or eCommerce sites, which require additional features and functionality, will naturally involve a bigger investment but we’ll always give you a clear idea of costs upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Every new website also comes with a 12-month maintenance package included in the price. This covers plugin and theme updates, security patches, regular backups, and basic monthly reports and ensures your site is safe, stable, and performing well without you having to worry about the technical side while you focus on your budding business.
During our Discovery phase, we’ll provide a range of package options to suit different needs and budgets so if you’d like to know more, simply fill in our contact form to arrange a quick, no-obligation call. From there, we’ll put together a tailored proposal outlining the investment, what’s included, and the results you can expect.
In today’s world, a professional website is often the first place customers go to check you out. For small businesses, it’s more than just an online brochure, it’s your shop window, open 24/7.
A well-designed website builds trust, showcases your services, and helps new customers find you through search engines. Without one, you risk losing business to competitors who already have an online presence.
As a local web design agency, we specialise in creating websites for small businesses that look great, perform well, and give you a solid platform for growth.
The cost of website design depends on the size and functionality of your site. A small brochure website starts at £999, while a more complex ecommerce site will be a bigger investment. Every project is quoted upfront, with clear pricing and no hidden costs.
Plus, all new websites include 12 months of maintenance baked into the price making our service a smart choice for small businesses looking for a reliable web design agency.
It’s worth noting that hosting and domain name costs are separate and vary depending on the provider you choose. We’ll guide you through the options and recommend trusted suppliers to make sure you get the best value.
Most brochure websites for small businesses take around 4 weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on feedback and content delivery. Larger websites or eCommerce website design will take a little longer as they have more elements that need designing.
We’ll always agree a clear timeline at the start of the project so you know exactly what to expect and when your business will be online!
We build all of our websites using WordPress, the world’s most popular website design platform. It powers over 40% of the internet and is trusted by businesses of all sizes.
The benefit of WordPress is that it’s flexible, reliable, and easy to use. It allows us to create a completely custom design that reflects your brand, while also giving you the freedom to update and manage your site without relying on a developer for every small change. It also has a wealth of plugins and apps that can enhance your business practices and user experience.
We don’t provide hosting directly, but we normally recommend Hostinger for its strong credentials in speed, security, and reliability. We are also more than happy to walk you through purchasing your hosting as part of our service so you can feel confident in your purchase.
We can also provide a link that gives you a small discount when setting up your hosting plan. This way, you stay in control of your website long-term, while we help make sure everything is set up correctly.
Plenty! Your website needs to reflect your business so we’ll involve you throughout the design process. We’ll gather your ideas, preferences, and feedback along the way to make sure the final site feels authentic and works for your goals. For us, building websites for small businesses is a collaborative process.
And if you don’t yet have a logo or brand identity in place, we can help with that too. Take a look at our Brand Design services, the perfect bolt-on for businesses starting from scratch.

Absolutely! All our websites are built with a mobile-first design approach, meaning they’re created to work seamlessly on smartphones before being adapted for larger screens like tablets and desktops.
With more than half of all web traffic now coming from mobile devices, having a mobile-friendly website is essential.

That said, if you’d prefer us to handle updates or if you need design changes or larger edits, we’ll be happy to pull together a clear quote for the work you require.
Of course! Once your site goes live, we’ll run a training session to show you how to get the most out of WordPress.
You’ll learn how to update text and images, add new pages, publish blog posts, and make basic edits with confidence. Our goal is to give you full control of your new website, so you’re never stuck waiting on someone else to make simple changes.

We take security seriously and always follow industry best practices when building websites. Your hosting provider will supply the SSL certificate (the padlock you see in the browser bar), and we’ll make sure it’s installed correctly. We also include 12 months of maintenance, covering plugin and theme updates as well as regular backups, to help keep your site safe and stable.
While no website can ever be 100% immune to bad actors online, we’ll put the right measures in place to minimise risk and keep your website in good health.
