Web design in Chesterfield

I design and build WordPress websites from a studio on Sheffield Road, for businesses in Chesterfield and across Derbyshire. Plenty of the sites I look after belong to firms right here in town.

The BJA Website needed modernisation. Found Voteq on Google and was delighted with their excellent service and thorough understanding of our requirements in this specialist market. Well done Ash and his Team! Would recommend them to anyone else who requires website design.

Ash and the team have a good reputation of getting job done in term of quality and speed. We have been working with them to update our online business over a year. As a new online business we have many teething issues since beginning. With Ash's help, our business has now taken off to a new level. Highly recommended

We work very closely with AB code and have done for a number of years now. Ash is a reliable and responsive developer who really understands the importance of factoring in SEO when building websites. Ash's open and friendly manner makes him easy to work with and we've completed many successful projects together. Highly recommended.

Ash does the behind the scenes maintenance on our site… I rarely have anything to do with him, which is exactly how it should be. The updates get done, the site works.

// The full picture

More than websites

Web design is usually where it starts. It is rarely where it ends.

Website design & development

Design and build by the same web developer: bespoke WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops, engineered to load fast and rank. One person carries the whole job, so nothing is lost between a designer's file and the finished site.

Website development

Plugins & new features

When a working site needs to do something new: a calculator, a booking step, an integration, a job your plugins cannot do off the shelf. Scoped in a call, built as a custom plugin, and often shipped in days rather than weeks.

Plugin development

Care plans & support

Updates, backups, monitoring and a developer on hand, so the site keeps earning after launch. Most Chesterfield enquiries end up here eventually; the sensible ones start here.

Maintenance plans

Rescue, speed & conversion

Broken sites fixed, slow sites made quick, and web development that turns more of your visitors into enquiries. If a web designer built it years ago and nobody has touched it since, this is the place to start.

Businesses in Chesterfield

The work here is more varied than people expect. In this town alone I look after sites for independent financial advisers, a bulk towel supplier trading UK-wide, health and safety consultants, offshore pipeline engineers, a trade association, and the Chesterfield Canal Trust along with its archive and partnership sites.

That range is the useful part. A financial adviser and a towel wholesaler want completely different things from a website, and the expensive mistake I see most often is a business buying the wrong one: an elaborate build when what was needed was three fast pages and a phone number that gets answered, or a brochure site when the business was really trying to sell online.

Most work still happens on a video call, because sharing a screen beats describing a problem out loud. If you would rather do it in person, say so and we will.

// Common questions

Working with a developer in Chesterfield.

The things Chesterfield businesses ask before we start.

Do you handle the design as well as the build?

Both, and by the same person. You are not paying a web designer who hands the file to a web developer, so nothing gets lost in the gap between them and there is nobody to blame when the finished site does not match what you were shown.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. The studio is at West Studios on Sheffield Road, and most Chesterfield projects start with a coffee and a proper conversation about what you actually need. Visits are by appointment, so get in touch first and we will find a time.

Can you take over a site somebody else built?

Yes, happily. I will audit what is there, tell you plainly what is worth keeping, and take it on without drama. A site does not need to have been built by me to be looked after by me.

What does a website cost?

Builds start at £2,000, and what yours lands at depends on how much of it is genuinely bespoke. You get a fixed quote in writing after a discovery session, rather than a number guessed at on a first phone call.

Do you only work with Chesterfield businesses?

No. Most of the work is remote and spread across the UK. Being local is a convenience for businesses here, not a restriction on anybody else.

Why a WordPress developer rather than any website developer?

Because the odds are your site already runs WordPress, like most business sites in Chesterfield and everywhere else. A website developer who works in WordPress every day knows why a site has gone slow, which plugins age badly, and how to build things that survive updates rather than fight them.

My site works. Can you just add one feature to it?

Yes, and it is some of my favourite work. A calculator, a booking step, a connection to a system you already use: scoped in a call, built as a custom plugin, and often delivered in days rather than weeks. The site does not need to be one I built.
