Web design in Manchester. Built to be found.
XMD builds bespoke, fast websites for Manchester businesses, from the city centre to Salford, Stockport and right across Greater Manchester, with local SEO set up from day one so people nearby find you before they find your competitors.
Mobile-first · Found locally
Local customers search first. Then they call.
When someone in Manchester needs a barber, a plumber or a takeaway, they pick up their phone and search. Whoever shows up clearly, loads fast and looks trustworthy gets the call.
Invisible in local search
If your site never mentions the towns you serve, has no structured data and isn't tied to your Google Business Profile, Google has little reason to show you to people nearby.
Phones don't wait
Most local searches happen on a phone, often on patchy signal. A heavy template that takes seconds to load sends people straight back to the results to pick someone else.
First impressions stick
A tired site tells customers your business cuts corners, even when it doesn't. A clean, modern site does half the selling before anyone picks up the phone.
A website that works as hard as you do.
Every Manchester site we build is designed from scratch, hand coded for speed and set up to rank locally from the day it goes live.
Bespoke design
Designed around your brand from a blank canvas, never a template. Built to make the right first impression and guide visitors towards calling, booking or buying.
Local SEO set up
Your towns and services written into the page properly, LocalBusiness structured data, consistent name, address and phone details, and a site ready to link with your Google Business Profile.
Mobile-first
Designed for the small screen first, then scaled up to desktop. No pinching, no broken layouts, no tiny buttons.
Fast, clean code
Hand built with no bloated page builder or plugin pile. Pages load fast, which keeps visitors on the site and helps you rank.
Hosting & support
We host your site securely over HTTPS and stay on hand after launch. Unlimited revisions for 14 days after delivery, then amendments whenever you need them.
SEO audits
Already have a site? We'll audit its speed, technical health, content and local visibility, then give you a clear list of what to fix. We can make the fixes for you too.

Common questions.
How much does a website cost in Manchester?
Every project is scoped and priced individually, because a one page site for a tradesperson and a full site for a restaurant are very different jobs. Tell us what you need and we'll give you a clear quote in writing before any work starts.
Is local SEO included?
Yes. Every build includes optimised titles and descriptions, LocalBusiness structured data, the towns you serve written into your pages, consistent contact details, a sitemap and robots file, and HTTPS. We'll also show you how to link the site to your Google Business Profile.
Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. Our founder is based in Manchester and we have Manchester clients, but we build for businesses all over the UK, as well as the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Most projects run perfectly well over phone and video calls.
How long does a website take?
It depends on the scope, but we work fast and give you a clear timeline before we start. The quickest way to slow a project down is missing content, so we tell you exactly what we need from you up front.
Can you fix my existing website instead?
Yes. Our SEO audit looks at your current site's speed, technical health, content and local visibility, then gives you a prioritised list of fixes. You can take the report away or have us do the work.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once your project is paid in full, the intellectual property in your website design and the materials we produce for you is assigned to you.
