Websites & E-commerce

Professional Website Design & Branding

Your website is more than a digital brochure — it’s your shopfront, your first impression, and your most valuable sales tool. At Smart Designs, we create bespoke websites that combine stunning visuals with smart functionality to convert visitors into customers.

What a website project includes

A written scope and itemised quote; page structure and copy direction for every service and location you sell in; bespoke design for desktop and mobile; the build, with a private preview link while it progresses; redirects from your old URLs; analytics and Search Console set up at launch; and managed hosting afterwards. Once it is paid for, the design, content and code written for you are yours.

E-commerce websites

Online shops built the same way: fast product pages, clear checkout, card payments, delivery options and the stock or customer-account features you need. Because every shop is different, e-commerce is quoted to your scope rather than sold as a package.

Branding & Identity

Logo, colour palette and type system, applied consistently across the website, documents and social profiles, so the business looks like one company wherever a customer meets it.

Website development, not just design

We build in code rather than page builders, which keeps sites fast and lets them grow into more than a brochure: quote and booking flows, configurators, customer logins, or a full web app or platform on the same codebase.

Websites for gate, access and security installers

A large share of our portfolio is for installers and manufacturers in gate automation, barriers, access control and security — including BS Gate Automation, Complete Gate Automation, BS Automatic Barriers, Secure Systems and Equestrian Security Solutions. We understand how those businesses quote, route enquiries by region and win commercial work. See the projects on our work page.

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.

What clients say about working with us

★★★★★

Incredible service!

“I left my website build completely in Sam’s hands with no guidance of what I wanted or required and he exceeded my expectations! My website looks incredible and I’ve had many compliments. Sam’s communication has been consistent throughout the whole process and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Would 100% recommend Smart Designs Online if you are after a snazzy new website!”

Service FAQs

Will my current content and URLs change during a redesign?

No — we preserve your existing URL structure and redirects to protect your rankings, then layer a refreshed, faster design on top.

Do I own my website and branding?

Yes. Once the project is paid for, the design, content and code written for you are yours, along with your domain and brand assets. There is no proprietary platform; our own reusable components are licensed to you as part of the site.

How long does a web design project take?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and brand assets are ready. Your written quote includes a timeline, agreed before work starts.

Do you provide branding as well as web design?

Yes — logo, colour, type and a reusable component system so your brand stays consistent across every page.

Will my website be fast and good for SEO?

Yes — we build SEO-led, performance-first sites with clean markup, structured data and Core Web Vitals in mind.
