Birmingham Web Design FAQs

Why choose ALT Agency for web design in Birmingham?

ALT Agency is an award-winning Birmingham web design agency with over 18 years of experience and more than 750 projects launched. We create fully custom websites for businesses across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the UK, focusing on usability, performance and generating enquiries or sales.


Our in-house team handles design, development, testing and SEO. You'll work directly with your designer, review interactive prototypes and benefit from our money-back guarantee, with over 80 five-star Google reviews providing further reassurance.


Are you a Birmingham-based web design agency?

Yes. ALT Agency is based at Eleven Brindley Place in central Birmingham. Our in-house designers, developers and SEO specialists work with businesses across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the UK.


We can meet local businesses in person and work directly with owners, marketing teams and other stakeholders throughout a project.


How much does web design in Birmingham cost?

Costs depend on your website's complexity and functionality. At ALT Agency, custom brochure websites start from £3,000 + VAT; sites with advanced functionality typically cost £4,000–£8,000 + VAT; catalogue websites are generally £10,000–£12,000 + VAT; ecommerce starts from £12,000 + VAT; and bespoke platforms start from £20,000 + VAT.


Every project is individually scoped and quoted. For more detail, read our website design pricing guide .


What is your web design and development process?

  • Discovery and strategy: We learn about your business, customers, goals and requirements before agreeing the scope.
  • Planning and design: We create interactive Figma prototypes so you can review the look and user journeys before development starts.
  • Development: Our in-house team builds your website with speed, security, usability and SEO in mind, keeping you updated throughout.
  • Testing, launch and support: We test across devices and browsers, launch your site and can provide ongoing maintenance and improvements.

Do you handle website design and development in-house?

Yes. Our Birmingham-based team handles both web design and development, from planning and UX design to coding, testing and launch. We also have SEO specialists in-house, so the website's structure and search performance can be considered from the outset rather than after launch.


Can you advise on website strategy and user journeys?

Absolutely. We review your audience, business goals and available website data to plan clear navigation, useful page structures and conversion-focused journeys. That includes helping visitors find the right information and making it easier for them to enquire or buy.


How long does it take to design and build a website?

Complete designs are usually delivered within 7–10 days after discovery. A small brochure website typically takes 3–6 weeks from start to launch, while more complex sites, ecommerce projects and bespoke platforms can take several months.


We'll agree a realistic schedule, milestones and regular check-ins once the scope is clear.


Can you redesign my existing website without affecting SEO?

Yes. We redesign existing websites with both usability and search visibility in mind. Where relevant, we review important pages, URL changes, redirects, internal links and technical SEO requirements before launch.


Rankings can fluctuate after a redesign, but careful planning helps reduce avoidable losses in organic traffic.


Do you use templates, or are your websites custom built?

Every website we design is fully custom to your business and brand rather than based on an off-the-shelf design template. You'll review interactive designs and provide feedback throughout.


Our design process includes up to three major revisions under our money-back guarantee, with flexibility for smaller adjustments, subject to the guarantee's terms.


Will I be able to update and manage my website myself?

Yes. We use content management systems such as WordPress so your team can update text, images and pages without a developer. Depending on the build, you can also rearrange and reuse page sections. We provide training and guidance, with further support available if needed.


What are the ongoing costs of running a website?

Typical ongoing costs include hosting, maintenance and any premium software licences. We offer ad hoc website maintenance from £90 + VAT per hour, alongside ongoing support packages for businesses needing regular updates and monitoring.


We'll explain expected recurring costs before the project begins. See our website pricing guide for more detail.


Can you help with SEO and digital marketing after launch?

Yes. Alongside website design and development, we provide SEO and PPC services. We consider site structure, technical SEO and page optimisation from the planning stage, then can support you with ongoing search optimisation, paid advertising, content and website improvements after launch.
