Looking for web design in Chester? UNKNWN is a web design agency based 30 minutes down the A483, in Wrexham, working with SMBs and ambitious brands across Chester and the wider region. We deliver web design that is commercially built, not just visually nice.
Chester is a city built on tourism, retail and a strong professional services sector. Independent restaurants, boutique retail and growing financial firms compete hard for attention. Whether you are an independent operator near Chester Business Park or a growing firm working with clients across Liverpool, Crewe, the web design you ship matters. It is what people see before they speak to you.
Every project starts from £1,200 and is scoped before any work begins. Fixed quote, no hidden invoices.
Chester businesses operate in one of the most visually competitive markets in the North West. With heavy tourism footfall, a premium retail high-street and a growing professional services cluster around Chester Business Park, the visual gap between businesses that look credible and ones that don’t is the difference between getting noticed and getting overlooked.
In a market like Chester, websites compete on speed, conversion and trust signals. We build sites that load fast on mobile data, show up properly in Google for Chester-relevant searches, and convert visitors who arrive with intent. Most Chester businesses sit on rented page-builder sites with bloated code and poor Core Web Vitals — we replace that with something that earns its keep.
Chester punches above its weight: tourism volume of a city twice its size, professional services density of a major regional centre, and an independent retail scene that takes itself seriously. We work with Chester businesses that take that seriously and want their web design to compete on something more than price.
Built on the right platform for what you actually need. WordPress for sites that need a CMS. Custom code for lightweight, fast sites that do not.
Strategic layouts, clear calls to action and journeys designed to turn browsers into customers. Every element earns its place.
Semantic HTML, schema, optimised meta data and proper architecture. Built to rank on Google from the moment it goes live.
Over 60% of traffic is mobile. We design for that reality first, then scale up to desktop.
from independent boutique hotels to high-volume Chester Zoo and racecourse traffic.
wealth management, accounting and advisory firms across Chester Business Park.
The Rows, Eastgate Street and the boutiques that define the Chester high-street.
law, consulting and B2B firms serving the Cheshire and North Wales corridor.
independent restaurants, gastropubs and the growing artisan producer scene.
Audience, goals, competitors and conversion drivers. We map out what the site needs to actually do.
Structure first, then visual. Every section ties to a measurable outcome.
WordPress with a bespoke theme, or hand-coded. Either way, clean and built to perform.
Cross-browser test, performance audit, accessibility check, then launch. Plus ongoing support if you want it.
We are local enough to be on a video call within minutes, drive across to Chester for kickoff if it helps, and stay close enough to your business to actually understand it. We are not a London agency parachuting in. We are a Wrexham studio with proper roots in the region — including Liverpool, Crewe and the wider North Wales and Cheshire markets.
Our work covers tourism, financial services, hospitality and professional services — every project considered against your specific market, not a generic playbook. Chester-based clients get a senior designer or developer on every project, not an account manager handing it off to a junior.
Web Design projects for Chester businesses start from £1,200. Final cost depends on scope, deliverables and timeline. Every project is scoped and quoted before work begins, no hidden invoices.
