Plenty of businesses in the town have a website that looks fine and brings in nothing. Before we talk about colours or layouts, we ask who you want to hear from and what they are searching for. Sites start from £499 plus VAT, and you get a fixed price in writing before a single page is built.
We quote the whole job up front. If you later decide you want an extra section or a booking system, we price that separately and only with your say so. The number you agreed is the number you pay.
Most service businesses are best on WordPress. Selling products online usually means Shopify. Occasionally a job needs building from scratch. We pick whichever suits the work, and we will say when the simpler option is enough.
Domain, hosting, logins and licences all sit in your name from day one. If you ever move to another developer, you take everything with you and nobody can hold the site back.
Page titles, headings, loading speed and the structure underneath are set up properly before the site goes live, so it can start being found straight away instead of needing fixing later.
Most enquiries in the valleys start on a phone, often from someone standing next to the job that needs doing. Can they see what you do, where you cover and how to ring you within a few seconds, on a patchy signal? Plenty of local sites fail that first test.
The second test is whether Google can tell where you work. A page that never mentions Merthyr Tydfil, Dowlais, Troedyrhiw or Treharris gives the search engine nothing to go on, and your competitors in Cardiff and Pontypridd will be shown instead.
The third is pictures. Photos you take yourself of your work, your van or your shop beat stock images every time. Where you have nothing suitable, we source imagery that fits and design the graphics.
Get those three right and a small site of five or six pages will outperform a bigger, prettier one. Good web design in Merthyr Tydfil is mostly about getting the basics right for local customers, and that is usually where we start. It keeps the cost down too.
We will be straight with you. We offer web design in Merthyr Tydfil but Primedia is based in Swansea, not in the town itself. Our studio is a little under an hour away along the A465, and we are happy to drive up to sit down with you at the start.
After that first meeting, a website project runs perfectly well at a distance. You see the design on a live preview link, not a flat image, so you can click through it on your own phone. Changes go back and forth by email or a quick call, and nothing launches until you have signed it off.
The dull but important jobs are included. We move your email across without losing anything, point the domain without the site going dark, and recover access from whoever built your last site if they have gone quiet.
Our overheads are Swansea ones, not Cardiff ones, and that shows in the price. We have been building websites for businesses across South Wales since 2016.
A heating engineer in Dowlais and a guest house near the Bannau Brycheiniog edge want very different things from a website, even if both are built on the same platform. These are the patterns we see most often around the borough.
Closer to the coast? See our web design in Swansea page, or our web design across Wales overview.
Engineering, fabrication, logistics and trade suppliers. Buyers want capability, certifications and a quick way to request a quote, so the site reads more like a clear brochure than a shop window.
Independent retailers, cafés, salons and professional offices. Opening hours, location and a simple enquiry or booking form do most of the work, and the site has to load fast for people checking on the go.
Sole traders and small firms covering the whole borough and up and down the A470. Pages for each service and each area you cover matter more here than any design flourish.
Tourism, activities, holiday lets and food. Good pictures and an obvious way to check availability do the selling, and traffic climbs sharply in the spring and summer, so speed matters.
Our websites start from £499 plus VAT. A typical small business site in the borough comes in somewhere between that and a couple of thousand, depending on the number of pages and whether you take payments online. The price is fixed and agreed in writing first.
Ask three things. Will they give you a fixed price in writing? Will the domain and hosting be in your name? Can you edit the site yourself afterwards? If any answer is no, or vague, keep looking. Then ask to see sites they have built that actually bring in enquiries.
Not really. What matters is that they understand who your customers are and where they search. We are in Swansea, we come up to meet you at the start, and the rest runs by email, calls and a live preview link.
Only for the things you would pay anyone for, your hosting and domain, which stay in your name and usually cost a few pounds a month. Support and updates from us are optional. Your website is never held behind a subscription.
WordPress for most service businesses, Shopify for online shops, and a bespoke build only when a job genuinely needs one. They are all mainstream, so any competent developer could look after the site in future. WordPress alone powers a large part of the web.
Yes, usually on Shopify. Selling online is a different job from a brochure site, so we cover it on our Shopify agency page.
Ideally from you, because real pictures of your work beat stock every time, and a modern phone is more than good enough. We tell you what to take. We do not run photo shoots ourselves, but where you have nothing suitable we source imagery that fits and design the graphics.
Around three to five weeks for a small business site, counted from when we have your text and photos. Waiting on content is what delays most projects, so we ask for it early and can write it for you.
It will launch with the foundations right: titles, headings, speed, and pages named after what people in Merthyr Tydfil actually search for. Ranking for the busier searches normally takes ongoing SEO on top, and we will tell you honestly whether that is worth it for you. Our SEO service covers that side.
Usually, yes, even when the previous designer has stopped replying. We can often recover the login, rebuild and switch over without your email or domain going offline.
Yes. We show you how to edit text, change pictures and add a page, and leave you short written notes for the jobs you will do most.
We can. After a short chat about your business we draft the pages, and you approve every line before anything goes live.
If you have had quotes for a website that were miles apart and nobody explained the difference, send me what you were offered. I will tell you plainly what the job involves and what it ought to cost, whether you end up working with us or not.
Before we start, what should I call you?
