Practical WordPress website design for Nottinghamshire businesses
Stilth creates clear, responsive WordPress websites that help businesses explain their services, strengthen credibility and turn more visitors into genuine enquiries.
A business website should make the next step clear
A website can look polished and still fail to explain what the business does, who it helps or why a visitor should make contact.
Stilth begins with the information customers need, the route they are likely to take through the site and the action each page should encourage.
The visual design, photography, copy structure and technical build are then developed around that purpose.
A flexible website the client can continue to control
Stilth websites are built using WordPress and Divi, providing a practical foundation that can be expanded as the business grows.
The client retains access to the website, hosting and connected accounts. Ongoing support is available, but it is not a condition of keeping the finished website.
A new website should solve more than an outdated appearance
Unclear services
Visitors cannot quickly understand what the business offers or which service is relevant to them.
Weak first impressions
Outdated design, poor photography or inconsistent pages reduce trust before the customer has read the content.
No clear route to enquiry
Contact details and calls to action are difficult to find or appear only at the end of a long page.
Poor mobile experience
Pages become difficult to read, menus are awkward and important information is hidden on smaller screens.
Generic imagery
Stock photographs fail to show the real people, work and character behind the business.
Loss of control
The business does not own or understand its hosting, domain, accounts or website access.
Planning, design, content and launch support
The exact scope depends on the business, but a Stilth website project can include the following elements.
Website planning
Define the audiences, services, page structure and routes visitors need to follow.
- Business and audience review
- Page and navigation planning
- Customer journey

WordPress and Divi build

Copy structure and refinement

Original website imagery
Plan and create photography around the actual page layouts and content requirements.

Create the images around the final page layouts
Photography is more useful when the image shapes, text positions and mobile layouts are considered before the shoot.
Stilth can plan the website and photography together so the finished images fit the website rather than being forced into unsuitable spaces afterwards.
A combined project can include
- Website structure and page planning
- Photography shot-list development

- Portrait and workplace photography
- Wide, vertical and mobile alternatives
- Website build and content placement
- Launch and client handover
- Supporting social-media content

No unnecessary dependency after launch
Stilth does not believe a business should lose control of its domain, hosting or website because it used a specialist to build the site.
Ongoing support can be provided where useful, but clients remain free to manage the website themselves or appoint another provider.
Website handover can include
- Administrator access
- Hosting and domain information
- Connected account details
- Plugin and licence information

Starter Websites begin from £1,495, Business Websites begin from £2,750 and larger bespoke projects begin from £4,500.
What platform do you use?
Stilth primarily builds websites using WordPress and Divi. This provides a flexible foundation that can be expanded and managed after launch.
Will I own the website?
Clients retain access to the website, hosting, domain and connected accounts wherever practical. There is no compulsory Stilth maintenance contract.
Does the build price include hosting and the domain?
Not normally. Hosting, domain registration, business email and premium software are external services and are explained separately in the proposal.
Can you write the website copy?
Website packages include different levels of copy structure and refinement. More extensive writing or content development can be added to the proposal.
Can photography be included?
Yes. Stilth can plan and create original photography around the website structure, including portraits, workplace imagery, services and page-specific visual content.
Will the website be mobile friendly?
Yes. Websites are designed and tested across desktop, tablet and mobile screen sizes.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No responsible provider can guarantee a particular ranking. Stilth builds appropriate technical and content foundations, but search performance also depends on competition, authority, content and ongoing activity.
How do we begin?
Contact Stilth with information about the business, existing website, required pages, content, photography and any target launch date. We can then recommend the most appropriate project structure.
