Website Designers Manchester. Turning clicks into customers.
Custom WordPress and Shopify websites, local SEO and digital marketing for Manchester businesses. Built to rank, built to convert.
A web studio serving Manchester, Greater Manchester.
Manchester is the powerhouse of the North, the UK's second-largest economy and one of the fastest-growing tech and digital cities in Europe. From the media businesses of MediaCityUK to the startups around the Northern Quarter, the professional firms of Spinningfields and the independents of Ancoats and Chorlton, Manchester is a fiercely competitive market where a strong online presence is not optional, it is the price of entry.
Manchester is a demanding, digital-first market, which is exactly why so many businesses here struggle to stand out online. Competing for attention against well-funded agencies and national brands takes more than a nice-looking website. It takes genuine SEO strategy, fast and credible design, and a clear understanding of what makes a Manchester customer choose you. Being based on Manchester's doorstep in Tameside, I know this market well, and I bring enterprise-level digital marketing experience to businesses that want to compete seriously without paying agency prices.

"Searching for website designers gave us a long list to choose from, but we're so glad we found Richard at Harrison Mann. He's been incredibly helpful with digital marketing advice and support, and thanks to him, we've now got a solid plan in place to boost footfall at both of our salons."
"We wanted more control over our website, as we'd been relying on another agency to make updates. Being able to change content ourselves quickly was important, and the custom WordPress website now lets us do just that. The new site has already helped boost our sales."
"After opening our new flooring showroom, I knew we needed a strong online presence. Finding the right website designer in Bradford made all the difference. We now have a great site that shows up locally for the keywords our customers are searching. It's the little percentage improvements that the team have really helped us with, we're already seeing more people coming through the doors."
