A website for an Aberystwyth business costs £495 for up to 5 pages and can be live in about 7 days, or £1,495 for up to 15 pages in 2 to 3 weeks, at a fixed price agreed before any work starts. We build for businesses across Ceredigion and mid-Wales, from seafront cafés and holiday lets to university spin-outs and professional firms, 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. Close to half the county speaks it (the Census figures are below). 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.
How many people in Ceredigion speak Welsh?
45.3%. Census 2021 counted 31,678 of Ceredigion’s 69,911 residents aged three and over as able to speak Welsh, against 17.8% across Wales as a whole (ONS Census 2021, table TS033). With close to one customer in two able to read your Welsh page, a bilingual site earns trust in this county in a way it might not in Newport or Wrexham.
Does my business legally need a Welsh language website?
No, not as a private business. The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 puts Welsh language standards on the public bodies listed in its schedules, and Schedule 6 names county councils in Wales and Aberystwyth University among them. A café on the promenade or a plumber in Penparcau has no such duty. If you supply Ceredigion County Council or the university, expect their contracts to ask for Welsh material, so it pays to have a site that can hold both languages from day one.
How do you build a bilingual Welsh and English site?
Two complete versions, each page with its own Welsh and English URL and a language switch on every page. Each version carries hreflang tags using cy for Welsh and en for English, and Google’s guidance on localised versions requires every language version to list itself and every other version, the step most template builders miss. You or your translator supply the Welsh copy 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.

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.
Can you add a Welsh version to my existing site?
Yes, on most platforms, quoted by the number of pages that need a Welsh copy. If your current platform cannot hold a second language cleanly, we will tell you before quoting rather than bolt one on badly.
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?
7 days for a Starter site once your words and photos are in, and 2 to 3 weeks for a Business site. A Welsh version adds time only if the translation arrives after the English copy.
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.
