Recent Cheshire Web Design Projects
Brookbank Building needed a site that would win trust with Cheshire homeowners before they even picked up the phone. We built a clean, project-led website showcasing their joinery and building work across Adlington and the surrounding area. Since launch, the site has become their primary source of new enquiries.
Mini Off Rovers in Macclesfield needed a website that matched the energy of their attraction and converted visitors into bookings. We built a bold, mobile-first site structured around driving footfall and handling high seasonal traffic. The result is a site that works as hard as the team behind it.

They needed a website that projected credibility to senior-level clients worldwide while remaining easy to update in-house. We delivered a polished corporate platform that reflects the quality of their work and their market position.

Professional Web Design for Cheshire Businesses
Fruitcake Media creates professional websites for small businesses across Cheshire, helping companies build a stronger online presence with modern, mobile-responsive web design. From tradespeople and local service businesses to retailers, hospitality venues and growing companies, we design websites that are fast, secure, easy to manage and built to generate enquiries.
Based at Alderley Park near Macclesfield, we work with businesses throughout Cheshire including Wilmslow, Knutsford, Congleton, Chester, Sandbach, Warrington, Poynton and surrounding areas. Every website is designed by our in-house team with a focus on usability, speed, SEO foundations and long-term support.
Our office at Alderley Park is open for in-person meetings. If you would prefer to sit down and talk through your project face to face, we welcome that. Many of our Cheshire clients start with a coffee and a conversation before a single line of code is written.
Unlike generic DIY platforms, every website is tailored to the business itself. We do not rely on copy-and-paste templates or outsourced support teams. You work directly with the people designing your website, making the process simpler, faster and more personal from start to finish.

How It Works
Getting your website live is straightforward. Here is what to expect.
Step 1 – We talk (in person or by phone)
We start with a short call or a meeting at our Alderley Park office to understand your business, your goals and what you want your website to achieve. No jargon, no pressure, just a straightforward conversation.
Step 2 – We design and build
Once we have your content, images and brief, our in-house team gets to work. Most brochure websites go live within 10 working days. You will review a draft before anything is published and we make changes until you are happy.
Step 3 – We support you long term
After launch we are still here. Hosting, SSL, daily backups and ongoing support are all included in your monthly plan. You can update content yourself or ask us to handle it. Either way, you always speak directly to your designer.
What Pay Monthly Web Design Actually Means
There are no large upfront costs and no surprise invoices. You pay a single monthly fee from £39 that covers everything: design, hosting, SSL security, daily backups and ongoing support.
To put that in context, a typical web design agency will charge between £1,500 and £5,000 to build a website, then charge separately for hosting, maintenance and updates. With our model, everything is rolled into one predictable monthly payment, making it straightforward to budget and easy to manage.
We ask for a minimum 12-month commitment, which gives us the time to build, refine and grow your online presence properly. After that you move to a rolling monthly plan with no long-term tie-in.
Why Not Just Use Wix or Squarespace?
DIY website builders are cheap to start but come with real limitations that catch small businesses out.
Many DIY platforms tie your website to their own platform and infrastructure, meaning moving elsewhere usually requires a rebuild. With Fruitcake Media, your domain always belongs to you.
DIY platforms are also template-driven. Your site will look like thousands of others, and you will spend hours trying to customise things that were never designed to be changed. Our websites are built specifically for your business, your content and your customers.
And when something goes wrong on a DIY platform, you are searching through help forums. With Fruitcake Media, you call or email us directly and someone who knows your website will fix it. For businesses that are serious about their online presence, the difference shows.

Pricing structures, support levels, ownership rights and hosting arrangements can vary massively from one provider to another, which is why many businesses across Cheshire come to us looking for straightforward advice before making a decision.

Our websites are designed, built and supported by our in-house team at Alderley Park near Macclesfield, with clear monthly pricing and no outsourced support desks. Whether you are a startup, local trades business or established company, the goal is always the same: create a professional website that helps your business grow online.

How quickly can my website go live?
Most brochure websites go live within 10 working days of receiving your content, images and brief. We keep the process focused and straightforward so there are no unnecessary delays from our side.
Do you offer in-person meetings?
Yes. Our office is at Alderley Park, Nether Alderley, near Macclesfield, and we are happy to meet in person before we get started. Many of our Cheshire clients prefer a face-to-face conversation first. Remote calls work just as well if you are further afield.
What is the minimum contract length?
We ask for a minimum 12-month commitment. This gives us the time to properly build, launch and bed in your website. After the initial 12 months you move to a rolling monthly plan with no long-term tie-in.
Do you work with businesses outside Cheshire?
Yes. While we are based in Cheshire and love working with local businesses, we support over 500 businesses across the UK. Everything can be handled remotely if you are outside the area.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. All websites include access to our CentrePointCMS system which allows you to make day-to-day content changes internally. Full training and support is provided.
Is hosting included in the monthly price?
Yes. Hosting, backups, live security monitoring, CMS access and technical maintenance are all included within your monthly package.
What happens if I want to leave in the future?
After your initial 12-month term you can cancel with 30 days written notice. If you move to another provider, we can supply a ZIP export of your website assets and release your domains for transfer.
Will my website work on mobile phones and tablets?
Yes. All websites are designed to work across desktops, tablets and smartphones as standard.
Can you help with SEO and Google rankings?
Yes. We offer ongoing SEO support, content optimisation and technical improvements to help improve your visibility on Google over time.
Do I need to supply the content for the website?
We guide you through the process and can assist with structure and formatting, but the core business information, images and service details usually come from you to ensure the website accurately reflects your business.
