Web design across Didsbury
My website was live before the 10days was up. Very happy with the service so far. Will defo recommend them.
Fruitcake recently developed a new website for me and very happy with the whole experience! everything was explained and good communication. Thanks Robert
I cannot fault Fruitcake Media. Being a sole trader, having a website was daunting and seemed out of reach. David made the whole process seamless and easy
I spoke to the David from the very beginning who has been out of this world. Nothing is ever an issue from little niggles to things technical that I have no clue. What a great company. We needed someone we can trust and work long term as I build our business.
Didsbury is one of south Manchester's most sought-after suburbs, and its business community reflects that. The village high street and West Didsbury's Burton Road are full of independents: cafes, restaurants, boutiques, wellness studios and specialist shops that trade on quality. Around them sits a professional layer of consultants, advisers, practitioners and small agencies, many working from home offices or shared spaces. In both worlds, customers expect polish. A business here is judged on its presentation before anyone walks through the door or picks up the phone.
That is exactly the job a website does. Someone choosing between two physiotherapists, two accountants or two interior designers in Didsbury will look at both websites and form a view in seconds. The business whose site loads fast, explains its service clearly and looks professionally put together wins the enquiry more often than not. We already build for exactly this kind of business: Manchester Counselling runs on a website we built and support, and our MCP Painting SEO campaign reached number one on Google for a Manchester-wide term. Our pay monthly websites give Didsbury businesses that standard of presentation from £39 a month, with hosting, SSL, daily backups, CMS access and real human support all included.
Didsbury's independents also depend on being found in the moment. Visitors and locals check menus, opening hours, booking options and reviews on their phones before deciding where to go. A slow or outdated site quietly sends that custom to the next place on the list. A well-built one converts browsing into bookings.
Didsbury sits in a busy corridor. Chorlton, Withington, Fallowfield and Northenden are minutes away, the city centre is a short tram ride, and Cheshire's commuter towns start just down the A34. Businesses here often serve customers across that whole area, and each part of it is its own set of searches. Every website we build carries SEO foundations as standard, so search engines understand what you offer and where, and our dedicated SEO service can push further when you want to compete across the wider area.
Fruitcake Media is a family-run team based at Glasshouse, Alderley Park in Cheshire, twenty minutes from Didsbury down the A34. We support more than 450 websites for small businesses across the North West and the UK, and every customer deals directly with the people who build and look after their site. No call centres, no ticket queues, no disappearing after launch.
Businesses across south Manchester choose us for the way we work as much as for what we build. We hold 23 five-star reviews on Google, every one from a real customer.
"Excellent service. Quick design and to make live. Can't recommend enough." (Peter, Google review)

Many of our customers work across south Manchester and beyond, so we do too. As well as Didsbury, we build websites for businesses in Manchester, Stockport, Altrincham and Salford. Our Web Design Cheshire page covers the towns south of the city, from Wilmslow to Macclesfield.
Every website we build includes professional design, a mobile responsive layout, secure hosting, SSL, daily backups, CMS access and SEO foundations. Hosting and ongoing support are part of the monthly package, so there are no surprise invoices later.
Our pay monthly websites start from £39 per month with no large upfront cost. That suits Didsbury's independents, consultants and small practices: a professional website without a big one-off spend.
Yes. Didsbury has a strong base of consultants, advisers, therapists and practitioners, many working from home or shared spaces. We build websites that present that kind of business credibly and bring in the right enquiries.
Yes. Didsbury's village high streets thrive on independents, and customers check opening times, menus and reviews before they visit. A fast, clear website turns that checking into custom.
Every website comes with full CMS access so you can update content whenever you need. If you would rather leave updates to us, support is included in the monthly fee.
Most websites are live within two to four weeks of the project starting, depending on how quickly content and images arrive. We manage the whole process for you.
Ongoing support is included as standard. You deal directly with the team that built your site whenever you need changes, advice or help.
SEO foundations are built into every website, and for businesses that want to rank across south Manchester we offer dedicated SEO services and marketing support through ShoutOut!, our in-house platform.
Every day that your business has no website, or a site that fails on mobile, is a day those searches land with a competitor. Didsbury customers checking menus, services and reviews are making decisions fast, usually within the same session they searched. Fruitcake Media builds websites for Didsbury businesses that are ready to receive enquiries from day one, with hosting, support and maintenance included throughout.
Fruitcake Media is a family-run web design and digital marketing agency. Our monthly subscription website model enables small businesses across the UK to get online from just £39 a month.
