Web Design and App Development for Manchester Businesses
Manchester is a powerhouse for digital, media and professional services, from MediaCityUK to the city centre. We help Manchester businesses launch fast, SEO-led websites, apps and automation that drive measurable growth, delivered remotely from our Gloucester base.
Overview
Working with Manchester businesses remotely
Smart Designs is based in Gloucester, not Manchester. We work with businesses elsewhere in the UK remotely: discovery and reviews happen over video, and you follow the build on a private preview link as it progresses.
Clients outside Gloucestershire usually come to us for a particular kind of build — an installable web app, a booking or quoting system, or a website joined up to their operations. The work below shows what that looks like.

How we deliver
Plan
A discovery call and a written scope: what the site or platform must do, who it is for, which pages and integrations it needs, and what it will cost before any work starts.
Design
Page structure, copy direction and visual design for desktop and mobile, with search foundations (page titles, headings, internal links, schema) planned in from the start.
Build
A component-based build you can review on a private preview link as it progresses, with accessibility and page speed checked before launch.
Launch
Domain, hosting, SSL, redirects from any old URLs, analytics and Search Console set up, then a final check across devices before go-live.
Support
Managed hosting, updates and changes after launch, with one team to contact when something needs adding or fixing.
Work
Live work from around the UK
None of these is a Manchester client; they are live projects that show the range of what we build for businesses across the UK.
