E-commerce, SEO and web design for Manchester businesses, delivered from across the Pennines.
FREE CONSULTATION
Websitelift is a Bradford-based web design, development and SEO agency working with businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester (35 miles from our office). We build fast, search-ready websites and online stores at a fixed price, and run local SEO campaigns that win the Manchester searches that bring in customers. The first consultation is free.
Manchester is the largest commercial centre in the north, with a digital and e-commerce sector to match. It is also home to hundreds of agencies, which makes choosing one difficult and expensive. We are an hour away in Bradford, work with Manchester clients remotely with in-person meetings when they help, and price on a fixed-scope, fixed-fee basis.
The work we do most for Manchester businesses is e-commerce and SEO: stores that have outgrown their platform, brands that need to rank in a crowded market, and growing companies that want a website that matches the stage they have reached. Ancoats, the Northern Quarter, Salford Quays, Didsbury, Trafford Park - the postcode changes, the job does not.

Most e-commerce advice is about getting more visitors. The cheaper win is usually further down: a product page that answers the real objection, a checkout that does not lose a third of its carts, and a basket value that climbs without a single extra ad.
It is easy to add visitors who will never buy. We go after the narrow set of searches made by people with a budget and a deadline - then make sure the page they land on is built to close them.
A visitor decides whether you look credible before they have read a word. We design around that moment: clear hierarchy, honest photography, type that is easy to read on a phone, and a layout that leads the eye to the next step. Every page is designed with its real content, at real breakpoints, so what you approve is what goes live.
If you sell across four continents, most of your enquiries arrive when nobody is at a desk. A chatbot trained properly on your business handles the first conversation, filters out the tyre-kickers, and books the ones worth your time.
Real projects for real businesses across retail, health & wellness and food & drink.
Fireworks retail is unusual: most of the year's trade lands in a few weeks, the catalogue is deep, and customers arrive knowing either exactly what they want or nothing at all. The store had to serve both without getting in the way.
A local treatment business lives or dies on two things: showing up when someone searches for your service in your town, and making it effortless to book once they land.
Food and drink sites fail when they make you work for the menu. The brief here was simple: show the product, say where it is, and get people to the order page.
This is a category where the customer is usually deciding between several near-identical listings on several near-identical sites. The site has to answer price, delivery and legitimacy before anything else.
Six stages. Each one has a duration and something you receive at the end of it. Nothing runs open-ended, and nothing is invoiced that was not quoted first.
We ask what you sell, who buys it, and what the site is failing to do. You leave with at least one useful observation whether or not you hire us.
You receive: A clear view of whether we are the right fit
