What Our Clients Say

“When we decided to redo our website, we called quite a number of web designers and were provided with numerous addresses of sites created by each designer. We found that ALT Agency had the most sites that we thought were innovative, creative and professional. After speaking a few times with ALT Agency we decided to go with them. It’s the best decision we’ve made in quite some time.

Joe Sapak

“There are two important considerations when looking for a designer, work quality and reliability. Alt Agency offer both in spades.

Ben Stephenson

“Craig is 100% on it and I mean on it, I can’t recommend him and ALT Agency highly enough.

Al Gosling

The site is for my landscaping company with the aim of drumming up more business around our local area as well as somewhere to showcase our previous work to potential clients.

FAQs

Why choose ALT Agency?

We’re an award-winning web design company in Birmingham, creating fully custom websites and digital solutions that actually work for your business. No templates, no guesswork; just pixel-perfect designs built to convert visitors into customers.

You get direct access to your designer, interactive prototypes and a team that handles everything in-house, from design and development to QA and optimisation. Every project comes with our money-back guarantee, so you can be confident in the outcome.

We stick around for the long term, keeping your website fast, secure and evolving as your business grows. It’s why over 80 clients have rated us five stars and why we’ve launched hundreds of websites that perform.


What is your web design and development process?

1. Discovery meeting: We start with a deep dive into your business, goals and challenges. We want to understand your audience, brand personality, tone of voice, and any existing systems or constraints. This helps us define the project scope and ensures every decision aligns with your ambitions.

2. Planning and design: Once we know what success looks like, we map out your project, assign the right team members, and get to work. Using Figma, we create interactive prototypes so you can experience your website before a single line of code is written. Leave feedback directly on the designs with a simple sticky-note system, making it easy to refine every detail.

3. Development and check-ins: With designs approved, our in-house developers bring your website to life. We build fully custom solutions, from WordPress to complex bespoke systems, ensuring everything is secure, fast and optimised for conversions. We keep you updated with regular check-ins so you always know the status of your project.

4. QA, launch and beyond: Before launch, we rigorously test your site across devices and browsers, making sure every feature works perfectly and loads lightning-fast. Then we go live!

But our partnership doesn’t stop there. We provide ongoing support, updates and optimisation to keep your website performing long after launch.


How much does web design in Birmingham cost?

Web design costs can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. At ALT Agency, we offer flexible options: project-based pricing for a one-off build or retainer packages for ongoing support. Every quote is tailored to your business, goals and website complexity, so you only pay for what you actually need.


How long does a project take?

Complete designs are usually delivered within 7 to 10 days after the discovery call. Larger projects, such as ecommerce stores or custom web apps, typically take around three weeks or more. Development timelines vary depending on complexity, and we keep you updated with regular check-ins throughout.


Can you redesign our existing website?

Absolutely. We can transform your current site, improving both its look and functionality. The result is a website that looks fantastic and performs better, helping you meet your business goals.


Do you use templates or are websites custom built?

Every website we create is fully custom, designed specifically for your brand. No templates, no copy-cat designs; just a site that’s 100% yours.


Will we be able to manage the site ourselves after launch?

Yes. Every website we build is easy to manage through a visual CMS. We provide training, guides and support so you can confidently update content, add pages and maintain your site without needing a developer.


What if our site has slow load times?

We optimise every site for speed. From code optimisation and lazy loading to image compression and script management, we’ve reduced load times from 55 seconds to under 3 seconds.


What if our site has been hacked or is insecure?

We secure your website during and after development. If your site has been hacked, we safely restore it, remove malicious code and implement monitoring to prevent future attacks.


What if our site breaks when updated?

We perform full plugin and theme audits and identify potential conflicts before updates. Any broken or incompatible elements are replaced or rebuilt so your website remains stable.


We’ve struggled with too many plugins. How do you handle this?

We streamline your site by removing redundant plugins and resolving conflicts. This keeps your website fast, stable and easier to manage.


Can you integrate third-party systems?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a CRM, payment gateway or stock management system, we integrate it via plugins or custom code so everything works well together.


Can you help with SEO, PPC and digital marketing?

Yes. Beyond web design, we help Birmingham businesses get seen and generate results. Our SEO and PPC services drive the right traffic, generate leads and turn your website into a real growth engine, not just a pretty window.
