Start a project
We're a small web design studio in Ancoats, a short walk from Manchester's Northern Quarter. When you work with us, you talk to the people actually designing and building your site, not an account manager reading from a script.
Every project starts with getting to know your business: who your customers are, what you want the website to do, and what your competitors are up to. We then design every page and share it with you early, refining it together until it feels exactly right — before any building starts.
Then we bake it properly. Your site is built mobile-first, loads quickly, and is search-engine friendly from day one, with clear headings and tidy structure that help Google understand what you do and where you are. We test it on real phones and browsers before launch, and sort out the fiddly bits like domains and hosting for you.
Once you're live, we don't disappear. We show you how to make simple updates yourself, and we're on hand to keep your site fresh, fast and secure as your business grows — whether you're a café in Ancoats, a trades business in Stockport or a brand selling right across the UK.

How it works
Every project is a bake.
01 · Knead
We get our hands in the dough.
Every good loaf starts with proper ingredients. We sit down with you (in person or on a call) and dig into your business — who your customers are, what you want the site to achieve, what's working and what isn't. No jargon, no tech-speak, just good questions. We'll also look at your competitors so your site stands out from theirs.
- A friendly, free discovery chat
- A clear plan in plain English
- A fixed quote — no surprises later
Questions people ask
How much does website design cost in Manchester?
With yellowloaf, a custom-designed website starts from £1,500 and an online shop from £3,000. The final price depends on the pages and features you need, and you get a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Will my new website show up on Google?
We build every site to be search-engine friendly from day one: fast pages, clear headings, a sitemap and structured information about your business. Rankings also depend on your competition and content, so nobody can honestly promise a position — but you'll get the strongest possible start.
Will it work properly on phones?
Yes. We design mobile-first and test on real phones and browsers before launch, because most visitors will see your site on a phone.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. When your site launches we show you how to make simple updates yourself, and we're on hand for anything bigger.
