Professional Web Design with a Human Touch
If you’re searching for expert web design without the hassle of DIY builders or endless support tickets, you’re in the right place. At Fruitcake Media, we create secure, beautiful, and easy-to-manage websites that reflect your business and work seamlessly across all devices. Whether you’re a roofer, florist, café, or consultancy, our web designers craft every site by hand, offering the flexibility and personal service larger agencies simply can’t.
We’re a family-run web design agency based in Alderley Park, Cheshire, and we believe in real relationships with our clients. That’s why you’ll always speak directly to your designer, no call centres, no outsourcing, no AI shortcuts.
Our platform currently powers over 500 live websites and includes an app where you can manage your content, see your sales, and live chat with your customers. Prefer a hands-off approach? We’re happy to update your site for you.
All sites are fully encrypted, hosted on a robust UNIX framework, and designed for top scores in security and accessibility, including alt tags on all images and full mobile responsiveness.
If you’re looking for a reliable web design company that gets local businesses, you’ve found it.

Do you use templates or create custom web designs?
We design every site from scratch. That means no generic templates, no copy-paste jobs. Every layout, colour scheme, and feature is tailored to your business, whether you’re a builder, salon, or online retailer.
What makes your web design company different?
Unlike DIY platforms or large web design companies, we don’t use bots or ticket systems. You’ll work directly with a real person from our 5 person team, based in Alderley Park. We’re small, personal, and proud of it.
Are your websites secure?
Absolutely. Our hosting includes encrypted SSL, daily database backups, and DDoS protection via Google Cloud Armor. We also use IP blocking, HSTS headers, and independent security testing to keep your website safe.
Can you design websites for trades like plumbers or electricians?
Yes — in fact, we specialise in web design for local trades. Whether you’re a plumber, roofer, or joiner, we’ll build a site that helps you stand out and get found. See some examples on our portfolio page.
Do your websites work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Every site is fully responsive and built to score top marks on Google’s mobile and accessibility tests. Images, buttons, and text scale perfectly across devices.
What if I already have a website and want to switch?
No problem. We can migrate your current site over, preserve your SEO, and even redesign it from the ground up. Get in touch via our contact form to start the conversation.
