Website development in Liverpool
Matthews Creative provides website development for Liverpool businesses, from a focused brochure site to a full online shop or web app. We are a full-stack creative studio, so the people who plan your site are the people who design it, build it and look after it. Nothing is passed to freelancers or offshore teams. You get a dedicated project manager and a clear plan from the very first call.
What's included
Website development, done properly.
Good web design is about more than looks. Your site should load quickly, read clearly on a phone and make it easy for people to call, book or buy. We build with modern tools like Next.js, write the copy with search in mind and set you up to be found on Google and recommended by AI assistants such as ChatGPT. Then we stay on hand to keep it running well.
Web design and UX
Layouts planned around what your customers need to do, designed for phones first and tested on every screen size.
Bespoke Next.js builds
Fast, secure sites built in code rather than heavy page builders, so they load quickly and grow with your business.
E-commerce
Online shops with clear product pages, a simple checkout and the payment, stock and delivery tools you already use.
Web apps and portals
Booking systems, client portals and dashboards for when a standard website is not enough.
Integrations
Connections to your CRM, booking tools, accounting software and email platform, so information flows without retyping.
Hosting and care
Secure hosting, updates, backups and small changes, handled by the same team that built your site.
Liverpool
Web design for the way Liverpool does business
Liverpool has a broad economy, and a website has to fit the business behind it. A bar on Bold Street needs menus, opening times and bookings that work on a phone in seconds. A logistics firm near the port needs clear service pages, quote forms and the reassurance buyers look for. A consultancy in the city centre needs credibility and a simple route to a call. We start by understanding which of these you are, then build around it.
The visitor economy matters here too. People planning a trip to the waterfront, the Royal Albert Dock or a show in town search on their phones, often in a hurry. If your site is slow or confusing, they book somewhere else. We design for that moment, with fast pages, clear calls to action and local details that help both visitors and search engines understand where you are and what you offer.
The city's creative and digital scene, centred on the Baltic Triangle and the Knowledge Quarter, has raised expectations. Customers judge a business by its website long before they visit. Whether you trade near Liverpool ONE, run an independent shop or serve clients across Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St Helens, our aim with website development Liverpool customers will see is simple: a site that holds its own and keeps improving after launch.

Questions
Website Development Liverpool, answered.
How much does a new website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the features you need, whether you sell online and which systems the site has to connect to. Design complexity and how much copy we write also play a part. After a free consultation call we send a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before anything starts.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on scope. A focused brochure site moves much faster than an online shop or a custom web app, and timings also depend on how quickly content and feedback come back. We agree a realistic timeline before we start, and your project manager keeps it on track.
Do you work with businesses outside Liverpool?
Yes. We are based in Liverpool but work with businesses across the North West and the rest of the UK. Most projects run by video call and phone, so distance is rarely an issue.
What should I look for in website development Liverpool agencies offer?
Ask who actually does the work, whether anything is outsourced and who your day-to-day contact will be. Check that SEO, speed and mobile design are part of the build rather than optional extras. At Matthews Creative everything is done in-house, with a dedicated project manager on every project.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. We review what is working now, including pages that already rank or bring in enquiries, and plan the redesign so you do not lose that ground. Where needed we set up redirects and carry content over carefully.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes, if you want to. We can set up a simple content management system for news, products or pages and show you how to use it. If you would rather not, a care plan means we make the updates for you.
