We build websites that look like money well spent.

QP Web Design is a small studio that makes fast, hand-built websites for businesses who'd rather be judged on their work than their template.

Most small-business sites look like they were assembled. Ours look like they were designed.

Every site we ship is written by hand — no drag-and-drop builder, no bloated theme, no forty plugins holding the thing together.

That means pages that load before your customer's thumb leaves the screen, type that's actually set, and a layout that doesn't fall apart on a five-year-old phone.

It takes longer. It's the whole point.

Selected work

Built for people who work with their hands.

Trades, studios, and local operators — businesses where the website is the first handshake.

Construction & Trades

Licence numbers, service areas, and proof of work — laid out so a homeowner trusts you before they call.

How they're made

The details nobody asks for.

01

Type that's set, not picked

Line length, weight, and rhythm chosen per page. The difference between a site that reads well and one that just has words on it.

02

Photography treated properly

We source at full resolution, colour-match it, and compress it so it stays sharp without costing you three seconds of load time.

03

Motion with a reason

Things move to show you where you are — never to show off. Everything respects reduced-motion settings.

04

Facts verified before they ship

Licences, hours, addresses and phone numbers get checked against the source. A wrong detail costs more than a plain design ever will.

05

One page or twelve — same standard

A single-page site gets the same structure, the same performance budget, and the same care as a full build.

Process

Four steps. No surprises.

Short, direct, and mostly out of your way. You approve, we build.

01
Intake

We learn the business, gather the real details, and confirm what's actually true about you.

02
Direction

Colour, type, and layout decided against your brand — not a stock theme.

03
Build

Written by hand, tested on real devices, tuned until it loads fast on bad signal.

04

Live, indexed, and yours. Clean code you're free to take anywhere.

A website should earn its first impression.
