Our Work
Vagabond needed a website with a strong visual identity and a simple user journey. We created a clean, modern website that presents the brand clearly, works well on mobile and gives visitors an easy route to explore the business.
Victoria Heath Art needed a website that allowed the artwork to take centre stage. We built a calm, image-led website that feels personal, professional and easy to browse across desktop, tablet and mobile.
Sapphire Spaces required a more complex website with clear navigation, user-focused content and a structure that could support bookings, information and community-led activity. The result is a professional platform built to support growth.
Barker Building and Architecture needed a website that reflected the quality of their work and gave potential clients confidence from the first visit. We created a polished, project-led website designed to showcase craftsmanship clearly.

What You Get When We Build Your Website
Fruitcake Media builds professional websites for small businesses across the UK: bespoke design, a mobile responsive layout, secure hosting, SSL, daily backups, CMS access and SEO foundations, with real human support from the team that built the site. We help companies create a stronger online presence without large upfront costs, confusing technical jargon or traditional agency complexity. If it is the payment model you want to understand rather than the build, that lives on our pay monthly websites page.
Since launching six years ago, we have grown to support more than 400 websites across a wide range of industries. From sole traders and startups through to established companies, our focus has remained the same, building websites that look professional, are easy to manage and help generate real enquiries.
Whether you searched for business web design, web design for small business UK wide, or web design for small businesses UK based teams can deliver anywhere, the model here is the same: one monthly payment, everything included.
We specialise in practical websites for real businesses. Tradespeople, consultants, gyms, personal trainers, gardeners, construction companies, professional services and local businesses often come to us because they need something reliable, affordable and straightforward to manage. If you sell products, our ecommerce website design service brings online shops into the same pay monthly model. Professional firms have dedicated guides too, including websites for accountants and estate agent website design.
Our pay monthly websites remove the biggest barrier small businesses face: the large upfront bill. Instead of paying thousands before a site earns a penny, you spread the cost from £39 a month, with design, hosting, SSL, daily backups, CMS access and support all inside one predictable payment. Our pay monthly websites page explains the model in full, our pay monthly packages page lists exactly what each level includes, and our plain-English guide covers how pay monthly websites work. For the wider market, our guide to how much does a website cost in the UK compares agency day rates, one-off builds and DIY with what we charge.
We also publish practical guides for the trades we work with most, including websites for plumbers, websites for builders and websites for trades, so you can see how we think about your industry before you ever speak to us. Every trade and profession we write for is listed on our sectors page. Nurseries, preschools and early years settings have their own home with us: Little Fruitcakes, our nursery website design service, comes with a set of guides on what a nursery website needs, from fees and funded hours to Ofsted, policies and accessibility.
Our approach is different from many agencies. Instead of treating a website as a one-off project, we continue supporting businesses long term with hosting, security, updates and advice. Many customers who joined us years ago are still with us today as their businesses have grown.
Although we are based at Glasshouse, Alderley Park in Cheshire and welcome face-to-face meetings, we work with businesses across the whole UK through phone, Zoom and email. We keep a page for each of the places we work in most, so you can see what we do locally rather than in the abstract: web design Cheshire, web design Manchester, web design Chester, web design Macclesfield and web design Stockport. Whether you are local to Cheshire or based elsewhere in the country, you get the same direct access to real people who know your website and your business.
