Small business website design example by Happy Shrimp Marketing web design agency
Beautiful. Fast. Effective.
01Fast & optimised

A web design agency that builds properly, so visitors do not give up before the page loads.

02Designed to convert

Clear layouts, strong calls to action and no pointless clutter getting in the way.

03Studio, not a factory

Every site is designed from scratch for your business. No templates, no copy-paste, no shortcuts.

A web design agency that actually gives a damn

Most small businesses have been through the same thing with a web design agency. A slick sales pitch, a recycled template dressed up to look bespoke, an invoice, and then silence. The site looks mediocre, performs worse, and nobody picks up the phone when something goes wrong. We built Happy Shrimp because that experience is completely unnecessary.

Design that actually looks current

Too much small business web design is stuck in the past. Same tired layouts, same stock photos, same forgettable results. Our studio builds sites that look like they belong in the present, because that is what wins customers.

Built for your customers, not your ego

A pretty website that confuses people is just an expensive brochure. Everything we design is built around making it easy for your customers to understand what you do and take the next step.

You deal with the people doing the work

We are a small studio, which means no account managers, no being passed down the chain. You deal directly with the designers and developers from first conversation to launch.

Small studio, properly personal service

You will never be passed between salespeople, account managers and outsourced developers. You work directly with the small team designing and building your website, wherever your business is based.

I'm really glad I found Happy Shrimp Marketing last year and since they have constructed a great website for me, nothing was to much trouble when requesting numerous changes during the build got just what I wanted and Lucy was brilliant, pleasant, helpful and courteous throughout and at a great price too. Help was only an email or phone call away followed with quick responce every time. I highly recommend Happy Shrimp to all.

I am super happy with the new website that Lucy from Happy Shrimp Marketing made for my business. I won this in a competition but I would have paid the money as it's worth every penny. Great company to deal with, nothing is too much trouble, it's exactly how I imagined it and more, lovely detailed website and easy to manage. Thank you so much again for the time and effort you put in.

Questions people usually ask

What does a web design agency actually do?

A web design agency like Happy Shrimp takes care of everything involved in getting your business online properly. That means designing the look and feel, building the pages, setting up hosting, making sure it loads fast on mobile and giving you a site that is actually set up to bring in enquiries. We handle the technical side so you do not have to.

How is a web design studio different from a freelancer?

A web design studio gives you a small, dedicated team rather than one person juggling dozens of clients. At Happy Shrimp you get web designers, developers and someone who understands SEO all working on your project together. You still get the personal service of a small operation, but with more depth behind it.

How much does it cost to hire web designers?

It depends on what your site needs to do. Most small business websites we build fall somewhere between a few hundred and a couple of thousand pounds. We do not publish fixed price lists because every project is different, but we will always give you a clear, honest quote before anything starts. No hidden extras, no surprises.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site our web designers build comes with solid SEO foundations included as standard. That means proper page structure, fast load times, mobile optimisation and local search signals so Google knows where you are and what you do. If you want to go further with ongoing SEO work, we can talk about that too.

How long does it take a web design agency to build a site?

Most small business websites take two to four weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex builds take a bit longer and we will always give you a realistic timeline upfront. The biggest factor is usually how quickly content comes back from your side, so we help with that if needed.

Do you work with businesses across the UK?

Yes. Our web designers work with small businesses throughout the UK. Everything can be handled by phone, email and video call, so you get the same personal service wherever you are based.

What if I already have a website but it is not working?

A redesign is often the right call, especially if your site looks dated, loads slowly or is not bringing in enquiries. Our web designers will take an honest look at what you have got and tell you straight whether it needs a full rebuild or just some targeted improvements. No hard sell either way.

What do you need from me to get started?

Not much at all. A conversation about your business, who your customers are and what you want the site to achieve is enough to get the ball rolling. Our web design studio will guide you through everything else. No jargon, no lengthy briefs, just a straightforward process from start to finish.
