Website design in Cambridge

Websites that just exist earn their keep.

Most websites are digital business cards. We build websites with strategy, proof and conversion at the core, so the right visitors become enquiries.

Your website should be winning you work.

Not just looking nice. The best websites show what you do, prove it, and make it easy for the right people to get in touch.

A website that works for you:

  • makes your business look as good as the work you do
  • turns visitors into enquiries, not just page views
  • shows up when people search for what you do
  • is quick and easy to keep up to date
  • comes with a team you can always get hold of

That’s what we build. Strategy first, then a website designed around one job: turning the right visitors into enquiries.

What’s included

What you get with Zed Studio

Everything from strategy to launch.

  1. Strategy first

    Every project starts with strategy, not a design brief. We work out who the site is for, what each visitor should do, and how it supports the business.

  2. Designed for you

    Custom design for your business, your customers and your goals. No templates, and nothing that looks like everyone else.

  3. Fast and secure

    Custom-built, WordPress or Shopify, whichever suits the project. Custom builds are fast and secure, with no plugins to keep updating.

  4. Built to convert

    Every page has a job: win an enquiry, sell a product or build trust. We design the journey from first visit to getting in touch, not just the look.

  5. Ready for Google and AI search

    Clean code, proper schema and fast load times, so you’re set up to rank on Google and be recommended by AI tools from day one.

  6. Easy to update

    Edit your own content any time, and if something will take more than a few minutes, feel free to send it our way.

How it works

From first call to launch

  1. Step 1

    A free Discovery Call

    We talk through your business and what you need. If a new website isn’t the right answer, we’ll tell you.

  2. Step 2

    Your Roadmap

    A half-day to full-day Digital Roadmap Session that sets out who the site is for, what each page needs to do and what success looks like. From £800 + VAT, credited against your website.

  3. Step 3

    Design

    We design your homepage first and get it right with you, then carry it across the rest of the site. No surprises at the end.

  4. Step 4

    Build and launch

    Content, tracking, redirects and testing, then go-live with no downtime. Launch websites take 2 to 4 weeks, larger builds 6 to 12.

  5. Step 5

    After launch

    A care plan keeps it fast, secure and up to date, and the Enquiry Engine keeps the enquiries growing.

Why Zed Studio

I built my first website at 18, and I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years. What growing businesses need is a clear plan, a website that converts, and the right traffic coming to it. That’s what we do.

AI search

Websites built for the future of AI

The web is changing again. Google’s AI Overviews now sit above the usual results for more and more searches, and buyers are asking ChatGPT to shortlist suppliers for them.

AI tools recommend the websites they can read and trust. So every site we build has fast pages, clean code and schema markup built in from day one, not bolted on later. Most agencies are still building for 2022. We’re not.

What our clients say

Google rating 5 out of 5Rated 5.0 on Google

“He really listened to what we needed as a family run business, had great communication throughout, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. He also optimised our SEO which has improved our website traffic dramatically.”

Jordan DunleavyGoogle review

“…he is still happy to help, even though the customer doesn’t have a maintenance package. Which is very rare, as most website design companies, once the website has gone live, ghost you.”

TJ Marketing ServicesGoogle review

“Zak achieved really outstanding SEO results for us in a short amount of time. He is reliable, easy to get ahold of; I highly recommend.”

Common questions

About website design. If yours isn’t here, just ask.

How much does a website cost?

Custom websites start from £7,500 + VAT, and e-commerce websites from £10,000 + VAT. Working to a smaller budget? Ask about our Launch websites.

How long does a website take?

Launch websites usually take 2 to 4 weeks, and larger builds 6 to 12. We’ll agree a timeline with you at the start and keep you posted every step of the way.

How do payments work?

50% to start, 30% when you approve the homepage design, and 20% before launch.

Do I own my website?

Yes, always. Your domain, your website and your accounts are yours to keep. If you ever move on, everything goes with you.

What do you build websites on?

Custom-built, WordPress or Shopify, whichever suits the project. Custom builds are fast and secure, with no plugins to keep updating.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes, any time. And if something will take more than a few minutes, feel free to send it our way.

Do you look after hosting and maintenance?

Yes. Care plans start from £79 + VAT a month and cover hosting, updates, security and edits. E-commerce websites start from £299 + VAT a month.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. Some websites have good bones and just need a refresh. Others need a full rebuild. We’ll be honest about which yours needs.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if it’s done properly. We map your old pages to the new ones, set up redirects and check everything after launch, to protect the rankings you’ve already earned.

Do you only work with businesses in Cambridge?

No. We’re Cambridge-based and work with businesses in Huntingdon, Cambridge, St Neots, Peterborough and Bedford, and right across the UK.

What’s the difference between you and a cheaper agency?

We don’t use templates, we start with strategy rather than design, and we’re still here after launch. You’ll deal with the same small senior team from start to finish.

Can we start with just one thing?

Yes. Plenty of clients start with one thing, like a new website, SEO or a Digital Roadmap Session, then add more once they see it working. We’ll suggest the best first step for you.

Do you use AI?

Yes, where it genuinely helps. AI lets us work faster and spot opportunities sooner, but real people plan, write and check everything we do.
