Website Creation for Small Businesses
A website that's as hardworking as you are...
Your website should feel like a digital shop window for your business. We build websites that are practical, approachable, and designed to grow with your business. Whether you’re launching your very first site or replacing one that’s seen better days, we’ll take care of the setup so you can focus on the parts of your business you love most.
Who's it for?
Our website creation service is perfect if:
-
You're a new start-up, entrepreneur or small business looking to launch with a bang from day 1.
-
You’re an existing business, ready to take it to the next level and get online.
-
You’re time-poor and aren't sure where to start.
-
You want a site that looks professional and not DIY.
-
You want a site that's both beautiful and functional, and truly reflects your brand.
-
You’re looking for a friendly face to guide you, not a large faceless agency.
We love helping small businesses get online, whatever the industry. Think online retail and ecommerce brands, cafés, florists, fitness coaches, sole traders, creatives, wedding venues, dog groomers - the list goes on! Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll guide you through the process step by step, turning your ideas into a website you’re genuinely proud to share.

The Process
Contact Us
Drop us a message below or email us at hotmintdigital@gmail.com. We'll be in touch with some questions to dig a little deeper on your project. Prefer a chat? We can jump on a call, WhatsApp, or even grab a coffee if you’re local to Manchester, whatever’s easiest for you. We just want to make sure we’re the right fit before getting started.
Project Planning
Once we’ve nailed down your goals, we’ll send you a no-obligation quote. If you’d like, we can share a few tiered options so you can pick what suits your budget best. All projects require a 50% upfront payment, and we’ll agree timelines and deliverables before anything kicks off. Simple, transparent, no surprises.
Design & Build
This is where the fun really starts! If you don't already have one, we'll get started with securing a domain and hosting package for you. We'll also get some mock-ups created so you can start to see your vision coming to life and make tweaks before we start the build. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated and tweak things along the way until your new site is beautiful, functional, and something you’re proud to show off.
Handover & Launch
Once your shiny new site is ready, we’ll hit publish and help you launch it to the world. We’ll have a relaxed handover call so you can ask questions and feel confident managing your site. And don’t worry, we’ll stay on hand for ongoing support in those first few weeks as you settle in.
