    Really happy with the work WAT Websites have done honestly couldn't have asked for better. We already had a website made, but it needed a bit of a touch up and they came in and did exactly that. They also added some great features to the website which have been amazing! The SEO side has also been a big positive. They didn’t just make the website look good and leave it at that, they actually worked on the SEO, making sure the site was properly structured and optimised to help it show up better on Google. As well as doing all of this they made sure to keep me in the loop of things, by explaining what they've done and why they've done it at each stage. They breakdown everything very well. They're the best in the game! If you need a perfect website built with the right SEO built in then I can't recommend WAT Websites enough. Super responsive, very friendly, professional and know what they're talking about!

FAQs

Questions about web design in Derby

Still unsure?

Call or email and you get Will or Tom, the two people who build the sites.

07518 264146info@watwebsites.co.uk
Have you built websites for Derby businesses?

Yes. We built the site for MIW Patios & Landscaping in Derby, who went from no online presence to their first organic enquiry in under 90 days, and for KN Technical, a Derby structural steel detailing firm. We know the Derby and Derbyshire market and how to get local businesses ranking quickly.

Do I need a web designer based in Derby to rank in DE postcodes?

No. Google ranks sites on technical quality, content, and backlinks, not the developer's address. We're 20 minutes up the A38 anyway, and both our Derby clients rank for their local searches.

How quickly can you get a Derby business online?

Your free one-page site is live within a week of us getting everything we need. Ranking takes longer. MIW started with no website at all in February 2026 and had their first enquiry from Google inside 90 days.

How much does web design in Derby cost?

Your first website costs nothing to build or host. You buy your own domain, about £12 a year, and it stays in your name. Ongoing SEO is separate, and across the UK it typically starts from around £400 a month. Derby is one of the more winnable East Midlands markets, which helps keep that sensible. Anything extra from us is priced before work starts.

Will my website rank on Google in Derby?

Every site we build has on-page SEO from day one: proper title tags, schema, local signals, and fast Core Web Vitals. Derby's competition is manageable compared to the bigger cities, and MIW's first-page rankings within months are our proof it works here.
