Web design & development

Beautiful, custom-built WordPress websites designed to reflect your brand and deliver results.

At Monster, we create bespoke websites that go beyond templates. Every site is built from the ground up to match your brand identity, speak to your audience and meet your business goals.

Whether you’re launching something new or looking to level up your current site, we’ll design and develop a tailored digital experience that’s easy to use, mobile-friendly and ready to grow with you.

Bespoke WordPress websites

We specialise in WordPress; it powers nearly half a billion websites worldwide, and with good reason. It’s robust, flexible and user-friendly, meaning you’ll have a site that’s easy to update and ready to scale as your business grows.

We never rely on bloated off-the-shelf themes. Every site we create is designed and custom-built to deliver fast load times, great user experience and smooth functionality across every device.

User-friendly, mobile-ready design

Our approach to web design always starts with your users. We take time to understand what they need from your site, what matters to them, and how they interact with your brand. We then map out intuitive user journeys and bring your content to life with thoughtful, experience-led design.

Every site we create is fully responsive, so whether someone’s browsing on a mobile, tablet or desktop, your website will perform seamlessly. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about making your site easy to use, fast to load and ready to convert.

eCommerce websites with WooCommerce

Selling online? We build secure, scalable online shops using WooCommerce, the leading eCommerce plugin for WordPress.

Whether you’re launching with a small product range or scaling an existing store, we’ll create an eCommerce experience that’s easy to manage and simple for your customers to use. We can also integrate payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal, set up product filtering, and ensure everything runs smoothly on mobile.

Hosting and ongoing support

Once your site is live, we offer managed hosting that keeps everything secure, stable and up to date.

Our UK-based hosting includes daily backups, regular software updates, SSL certificates, and essential security monitoring to keep your website protected around the clock.

Prefer to host it elsewhere? No problem. We’ll package up your files and guide you through the transfer process. But if you want peace of mind and a team who’ll keep your site running smoothly behind the scenes, we’ve got you covered.

Affordable websites made easy with Flex

We know a new website is a big investment, especially for small businesses, charities and start-ups. That’s why we created Flex, our monthly website subscription.

With Flex, you get the same expert design, build and support, just spread across 12 or 24 manageable monthly payments. No big upfront cost, no surprise fees, just a great website that works for your business from day one.

We also offer add-ons projects such as branding, copywriting and marketing strategy, if you’re looking for extra support.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can a well-designed website help increase sales?

Yes, it can, and it should.

A well-designed website not only looks great but also works hard behind the scenes to turn visitors into enquiries and leads. Whether it’s contact forms, click-to-call buttons, email links, or downloadable guides, we build in multiple ways for users to take action.

If you’ve got a strong product or service and a sales team ready to follow up, your website becomes one of your most powerful sales tools.

How much do a website cost?

There’s no one-size-fits-all price, but here’s what to expect.

Website costs are based on the complexity of the design, the features required, and the time involved in development. A smaller site with a handful of pages and a simple layout will cost less than a custom-built site with multiple templates, integrations, and advanced functionality.

We’ll always provide a clear quote upfront, whether it’s a custom project or a Flex subscription. If you’re unsure where to start, we’re happy to chat it through.

What makes a website perform well?

It starts with understanding your audience.

A good website is clear, structured and designed to guide users to the right place. That might mean a dedicated service page, a compelling call to action or a lead magnet to build your email list. We use clear layouts, strong messaging and well-placed prompts to encourage people to get in touch.

And if you’re not seeing the results you want, we can help assess what’s working and what’s not.

I need more leads. Can you help?

Definitely. There are two things that drive results: more traffic and better conversions.

We can help with both. That might mean improving your site’s structure and calls to action or building a targeted SEO or Google Ads campaign to bring in the right people. We also offer free website reviews to help identify quick wins and longer-term opportunities.

Do cheap websites really cost more in the long run?

They can. A low-cost website might look fine at first glance, but if it’s not built to support your goals, like attracting the right customers or generating leads, it could end up costing you more in lost opportunities. If you are a business operating in a competitive market, a cheap website will likely devalue your brand and potentially impact the perception of your business.

We offer flexible solutions for small businesses that don’t cut corners. Our Flex pay-monthly websites are designed to give you professional design, performance and support, without the hefty upfront cost.

Will my website be found on Google?

Absolutely.

If it’s a new website, we’ll build your site with SEO in mind from the very beginning, targeting the keywords and content that matter to your business.

If you’re redesigning or rebuilding your website, we take care to preserve existing SEO value. That means migrating your meta data, key page content, URLs and more to ensure a smooth transition and avoid drops in traffic.

How long does a website project take?

Most of our sites are delivered in 8–12 weeks.

That gives us time to get the structure right, refine the content and ensure the site works perfectly before it goes live. For smaller or fast-track projects, we can speed things up, especially when working with a clear brief and budget in mind.

We keep things organised with a clear process and regular check-ins, so you’ll always know what’s happening and when.

What website CMS do you recommend? What platform do you build on?

We design and build websites in WordPress.

It’s powerful, flexible and easy to use, which makes it a great fit for most businesses. Whether you’re a small local brand or a growing company with a marketing team, WordPress gives you the control to update your content without needing to touch any code. We can also add bespoke features and advanced functionality where needed.

Is WordPress right for me?

Absolutely. WordPress is the perfect CMS for most businesses.

WordPress is loved by Google, making SEO a little easier. It is easy to update – the perfect solution for SMEs and smaller local businesses.

Do you offer marketing support too?

We do. We work with lots of businesses on their marketing.

Whether you need help getting found on Google, want to send regular email campaigns or need support managing your social media, we’ve got the skills and the team to make it happen.

Our digital marketing services include:

We can tailor a package to suit your business goals and budget.
