Businesses we work with today
Buyers compare your website with the best in the country
A buyer choosing a supplier opens several websites side by side. Some belong to Manchester firms and some to national companies with larger marketing budgets. The buyer doesn’t care where each site was built, only which one looks credible and answers their questions fastest.
Many Northern businesses are as capable as their national rivals but lose that comparison online. Their websites are slower, vaguer and thinner on proof. We build sites that present your expertise at a national standard, so the comparison is decided on merit.
What we fix on your website
A site that looks smaller than you are
Dated design, stock photos and generic copy make an established firm look like a start-up. We present your real work, clients and people, so visitors see your actual scale.
Thin proof next to national rivals
National competitors show detailed case studies, reviews and credentials. We plan pages that bring your own evidence forward, where buyers look for it before they decide.
A website that loads too slowly
Every extra second on a phone costs you visitors. We build light pages and test them on real devices and slow mobile networks before launch.
Visitors can’t tell what you do
If the first screen doesn’t say who you help and how, people leave within seconds. We plan every page around the questions your buyers actually ask.
Waiting on a developer for every change
Your team should be able to update a price or publish a case study in minutes. We set up a visual editor that anyone in the business can use.
Losing rankings after a redesign
A new website that drops out of Google is an expensive mistake. We redirect every old address and carry your SEO settings across.
Web development in Manchester: what we build
Design, build, content and launch, all handled by one team that answers to you. More on our web development approach.
Website design
Pages planned around the information your buyers need before they get in touch, designed for mobile visitors first.
Website development
Fast, secure business websites. Pages are built ahead of time and served from a location near each visitor, so they open quickly.
Redesigns and rebuilds
We keep what works on your current website and replace what doesn’t, while every previous web address redirects to its new page.
A visual editor
Click the text or image, change it and publish. If your team can use Google Docs, they can manage the entire website.
WordPress moves
We move your content, images, web addresses and SEO settings across, so search engines can follow the move without losing track.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Light pages, properly sized images and clean code, tested on real phones and slow networks rather than a fast office laptop.
SEO built in
Clean structure, page titles, schema markup and XML sitemaps are configured from the beginning. See SEO services.
Landing pages
Focused pages for ads and campaigns, built to turn paid clicks into enquiries. More on conversion testing.
Why Manchester businesses choose Oneskai to build their website
Benchmarked against your national rivals
We review the websites your buyers compare you with before we design anything, so your new site matches or beats them on speed, clarity and proof.
A fixed price before any work starts
You receive a page-by-page plan and a fixed price, broken down line by line. If you expand the scope later, we price the addition before we start it.
Built to be found
We also run SEO in Manchester, so your website is built with search in mind from the first page instead of being patched afterwards.
Yours to keep, and easy to run
The code, content and hosting are in your company’s name, your team edits pages without a developer, and there is no lock-in.
How we work: plan, design, build, launch
- 48 business hours
Plan and price
A strategist reviews your current website and sends a page-by-page plan, a fixed price and a proposed launch date.

Design
We design the most important pages first, so you can review and approve the visual direction before we build the remaining templates.
- Weeks 3–6
Build and move content
We build the website, move your content across, and set up the editor, the tracking and the redirects.
- Weeks 6–8
Test and launch
We test on real phones and browsers, check performance and forms, then launch and monitor the first few weeks closely.
A typical 10-page website takes 6 to 8 weeks from the day you approve the plan. Your own plan includes the specific dates for your project.

Website questions from Manchester businesses
How much does a website cost in Manchester?
It depends on how many pages you need and which features the site requires. Your free plan gives you a fixed price, broken down line by line, before any work starts.
Can a Manchester website compete with national companies?
Yes. Buyers judge websites on clarity, speed and evidence, not on where the company is based. A well-planned site with strong case studies can win work from much larger competitors.
Should our website mention Manchester?
On your contact and location pages, yes. If you serve clients across the UK, your main service pages should say that clearly, so national buyers see you as an option.
How long does it take to build a website?
A typical 10-page website takes 6 to 8 weeks from the day you approve the plan. Larger websites take longer, and your plan includes the specific dates for your own project.
Can my team edit the website without a developer?
Yes. Click the text or the image, change it, and publish. If your team can use Google Docs, they can manage the website, and we demonstrate this before you commit to anything.
Who owns the website?
You do. The code, the content and the hosting account are all registered in your company’s name, so if you stop working with us, the website remains yours. There is no lock-in.
We’re on WordPress. Will we lose content or Google rankings?
We move your content, images, web addresses and SEO settings across. Every old address points to its new page, and your sitemaps and schema stay in place, so search engines can follow the move.
What is the website built on?
Your pages are built in advance and served from a location near each visitor, so they open quickly. Your team edits everything in a visual editor without touching code, and if your developer wants the technical details, we will send them.
Who is this not a good fit for?
An online store with thousands of products, or a website that must be live next week. If that describes your project, we will tell you immediately rather than accept it.
Is the website plan really free?
Yes. You receive the plan, the fixed price and the editor demonstration, and you keep all three. Some people build with us afterwards, others take the plan to another developer, and both are perfectly fine.
