Looking for a web designer or developer in Aberystwyth? We build fast, modern websites for businesses across Ceredigion and mid-Wales, from seafront cafés and holiday lets to university spin-outs and professional firms. Fixed prices from £495, live in weeks, and you own everything at the end.
Web design built for how Aberystwyth actually trades
Aberystwyth isn’t a big-city market, and a website built for one doesn’t fit here. It’s a university and seaside town serving a wide rural catchment, which changes what your site needs to do:
- A seasonal, two-audience year. Term time brings students and staff; summer brings visitors along the promenade and Cardigan Bay. The businesses that do well online speak to both, rather than picking one and hoping.
- A catchment far wider than the town. Customers search from Machynlleth, Aberaeron, Lampeter, Tregaron and Borth. If your site only ever says “Aberystwyth”, you’re invisible to a good share of the people who’d happily drive in.
- Welsh matters here. Ceredigion has one of the highest concentrations of Welsh speakers in Wales. A bilingual site isn’t decoration, it’s a trust signal, and it’s something most template builders handle badly.
- Mobile, on patchy rural signal. A heavy, image-bloated site that’s fine on town-centre fibre falls over on a 4G bar in the hills. Lean and fast isn’t a luxury round here.
- Distance from the big agencies. Cardiff is a couple of hours away, so plenty of local businesses end up with either a DIY builder or an agency that never picks up. We work remotely and properly, and we reply.
Bilingual (Welsh and English) websites
If you serve Welsh-speaking customers, or you work with Ceredigion County Council, the university or any public body, a bilingual site makes a real difference. We build English and Welsh versions properly, with clean language switching, both versions indexed correctly by Google, and the right hreflang markup so the right one shows to the right person. You supply the Welsh copy or your translator does, and we handle the build.
What we build for Aberystwyth businesses
- Hospitality and tourism — cafés, restaurants, B&Bs, holiday lets and attractions, with booking and enquiry built in and photography that sells the coast.
- Independent retail — shops on Great Darkgate Street and around the town that want to sell online as well as over the counter.
- Trades and services — builders, electricians, plumbers and gardeners covering Ceredigion, built to win “near me” searches. See our websites for tradespeople.
- Professional and academic — solicitors, accountants, consultancies and university spin-outs that need to look established from the first click.
- E-commerce — Stripe-integrated stores, subscriptions and digital products, whether you ship UK-wide or just round the bay.
Get found by people searching in Aberystwyth
Most local work starts with a search like “café Aberystwyth” or “electrician Ceredigion”, and the click goes to whoever appears first and looks trustworthy. We build every page to be found locally: clean structure, fast loading, proper local SEO, and your Google Business Profile pointed the right way. Our guide to local SEO for UK businesses explains exactly how the local map pack works, and because nearly all of these searches happen on a phone, every site we build is mobile-first by default.
See real sites before you spend anything
You don’t have to take our word for it. We keep ten fully built demo sites live so you can click around one for your industry and judge the work yourself. You can also see platforms we’ve built and run ourselves, which is a fairer test than a portfolio of screenshots.
Fixed prices, no surprises
- Starter (£495) — up to 5 pages, custom design, mobile-first, local SEO setup, contact form.

Aberystwyth web design: common questions
Do you build bilingual Welsh and English websites?
Yes. We build both language versions properly, with clean switching, correct indexing and hreflang markup so Google shows the right version to the right person. You or your translator supply the Welsh copy and we handle the build.
How much does a website cost in Aberystwyth?
Fixed prices: Starter from £495, Business from £1,495, and Premium or custom builds from £3,995. You know the full price before we begin, with no hidden extras. Bilingual versions are quoted separately depending on page count.
Do I need to be in Aberystwyth to work with you?
No. We work with businesses across Ceredigion and mid-Wales entirely remotely, by email, call and screen-share. In practice that means you get an agency that answers, without driving to Cardiff.
Can you redesign my existing site?
Yes. We rebuild tired sites for speed, mobile and enquiries, keeping what already works and fixing what doesn’t. Start with a free website review and we’ll tell you honestly whether a rebuild is even worth it.
How long does it take?
Most sites go live in one to three weeks depending on size. A Starter site can be ready in as little as 7 days once you’ve sent your content and photos.
Will my site work for customers outside the town?
Yes, and it should. We build in pages and local signals for the wider catchment, so you show up for people searching from Aberaeron, Machynlleth, Borth, Lampeter and Tregaron as well as Aberystwyth itself.

We also build and rank websites for businesses in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Bangor and Wrexham.
