Welcome to Web Equip

Looking for Web Design?

From one person start-up businesses to established multi-million pound turnover companies, we design and build highly professional yet very cost-effective websites which work FOR you.

Website Specialists

As web designers in Sheffield, we provide everything you need to establish a great website. Our web design services include domain name management, superior website hosting platforms, and detailed SEO (search engine optimisation), html newsletters and much more.

All this is taken care of inhouse, right here in our Sheffield office. We also offer a trade service allowing Graphic Designers and IT Companies to add high quality web and internet services to their portfolio at prices with room for margin.

All Types, Large & Small

Most of our customers either want to display a portfolio of their work or sell their products from their website (ecommerce websites). Some want to be able to manage their own content (content management websites). Regardless of what you want you want to do with your website, we can help.

Web design is one thing, web development is quite another and involves managing your domain name, promoting your website on the search engines, this is called search engine optimisation, and setting up your hosting with control panel access and email accounts and so on. We do all these things.

Websites, And More if You Need It

It's often not enough to just design and build a website, regardless of how good it looks. Customers need reliable hosting (and the importance of this cannot be underestimated), they need their website promoting properly on the search engines, and roaming email and useful statistics for marketing and so on and so forth. We provide all these things in a friendly and efficient way with a FIXED PRICE policy and NO gobbledegook!

Your reputation can be affected by your website.. So can ours.

We're fully aware that we stake our reputation on every website we produce, that's why we maintain extremely high attention to detail. Many might say they do this and not really appreciate what it means.

As website developers we are uncompromising perfectionists, we can't help it, it's in our nature, all programmers are perfectionists. We also have a right first time ethos simply because we don't want to spend our time putting something right which should have been right in the first place. Who does?

Website Pricing Policy

Because our overheads are low, we can afford to keep our prices right down, and it doesn't matter if you're a one man start-up or the NHS, our pricing calculations are the same. We are one of the few website developers who put our prices online. You can see everything relating to website pricing on our website pricing page.

Why Choose Web Equip?

We don't always know why we've been chosen over and above other web designers, and we don't like to ask, but we sometimes get to know our customers quite well and these are the sorts of things they've told us..

1.	We were referred by another customer (most of our work comes this way).
2.	We were cheaper than everyone else.
3.	We weren't the cheapest, but we were cheapest of those who were able to produce evidence of success in a particular area.
4.	We weren't the cheapest but it was clear we had fully understood the requirement from the quote we delivered.
5.	It's easy to visit us, and there's an easy-going friendly atmosphere in the office.

We didn't set out to be the cheapest web designers in Sheffield, that's not what we're about, it just works out that way sometimes. We do have a single pricing policy for all customers, so that probably gives us an advantage in some areas (and prerhaps a disadvantage in others).

We've got two great designers here - just look at the work they've produced, and two highly experienced developers for all the technical bits as well as a trainee. With us you can feel comfortable in the knowledge that you are being listened to, understood, and not being over charged or charged for something you're not getting.
