Web design in Stoke that gets the phone ringing
Professional, affordable web design for businesses across the Potteries. Thunderhat builds fast, modern, locally-optimised websites that look sharp, load quickly and bring in new customers.
For more than two decades, Thunderhat has helped companies across Stoke-on-Trent build a real online presence — from Hanley independents and Longton trades to community groups, charities and established firms. The goal never changes: a website that brings customers through the door.
Stoke customers search with town names — Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton — or with 'near me'. Our sites answer those searches directly: clear services, genuine local detail, reviews with replies, and the local SEO that puts you on the map. Proof it works: a Stoke-area chimney sweep at the top of page one within a month.
Packages that fit Potteries budgets
Starter sites from £300 for trades, creatives and independents. Growth builds from £500 with SEO setup and analytics. Full e-commerce with secure payments when you're ready to sell online. And care plans from £100/month so you never think about updates again.
No agency layers
You work directly with Tim — the developer building your site. Faster, clearer, more personal, and still here months later when you need a change. Browse the portfolio, then get a free quote.

Web design in Stoke — FAQs
Can't see your question? Call or send a message and we'll answer it.
How much does web design cost in Stoke?
Starter sites from £300, growth sites with SEO foundations from £500. Fixed quotes before work starts — no extras later.
Can you help my Stoke business appear on Google Maps?
Yes — Google Business Profile setup and optimisation is core local SEO work, and often the fastest win for Stoke trades and shops.
Do you work with Stoke startups and one-person businesses?
Gladly. A sharp starter site makes you look established from day one, with room to grow into e-commerce or SEO later.
We already have a website — is it worth redoing?
If it is slow, dated or invisible on Google, usually yes. We audit first and recommend the cheapest fix that actually works — sometimes that is surgery, not a rebuild.
Where are you based?
Cheadle, in the Staffordshire Moorlands — minutes from Stoke. In-person chats across the Potteries are easy.
