Website design for Stoke businesses that need to look credible and work properly
A business website has a simple job: help the right people understand you, trust you, and take the next step.
For some companies, that means generating better enquiries. For others, it means replacing an outdated site, explaining technical services, supporting recruitment, improving speed, or giving the internal team easier control over content.
We design and build websites for Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire businesses that care about quality, performance, and long-term ownership.
That includes:
Professional service firms
Engineering and manufacturing businesses
Consultants and specialist suppliers
Local SMEs
Charities and community organisations
B2B service providers
Businesses replacing an old WordPress site
Companies that have outgrown a DIY website
Why Stoke-on-Trent businesses choose Katatomic
Our build standard
A good website should not become a technical liability six months after launch. Every Katatomic website is built with attention to:
- clear page structure
- clean front-end code
- fast loading
- mobile usability
- sensible WordPress architecture
- security basics
- carefully chosen plugins
- simple editing workflows
- technical SEO foundations
- analytics and conversion tracking
- long-term maintainability
We do not build around generic pre-bought templates. We design the structure around your business and build the site to fit.
The problem with cheap template websites
Cheap websites often look affordable because the hard decisions have been skipped.
Common problems include:
- slow page speed
- poor mobile experience
- generic design
- weak security
- too many plugins
- difficult editing
- unclear ownership
- poor search foundations
- layouts that do not reflect how customers actually buy
A template site may be enough for a temporary presence. But if your website needs to support trust, enquiries, sales, recruitment, or long-term growth, it needs proper planning and engineering.
A local web design partner without agency bloat
We are based in North Staffordshire and work with businesses across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Biddulph, Hanley, Longton, Fenton, Burslem, Tunstall, Trentham, Stone, Leek, and the surrounding area.
Being local is useful, but it is not the whole reason to choose us.
The real difference is direct senior access. You can discuss the website with the people who are planning and building it. That means clearer advice, faster decisions, and fewer surprises.

What makes Katatomic different?
Senior developers, not account managers
You speak directly to the people making the technical decisions.
Custom build, not template resale
Your website is structured around your business rather than forced into a pre-built theme.
Practical advice
We recommend what your business actually needs, not whatever increases the project scope.
Long-term ownership
We build websites that can be maintained, edited, extended, and understood after launch.
Broader technical capability
Because our background includes custom development, databases, portals, and integrations, we can support businesses that may need more advanced functionality later.

Our website looks dated.
We can redesign and rebuild the site so it better reflects the quality of your business.
We are not getting the right enquiries.
We can improve messaging, structure, service pages, calls to action, and tracking.
The site is too hard to update.

Need video, photography, or drone footage?
A strong website works harder when the visual assets are as good as the build.
Katatomic also provides video production including corporate films, interviews, drone footage, site walkthroughs, recruitment videos, promotional content, and campaign assets.
These can be planned alongside the website so your content, design, and technical implementation work together.

Frequently asked questions
Do you design websites for businesses in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. Katatomic designs and builds custom websites for businesses in Stoke-on-Trent and across North Staffordshire, including Newcastle-under-Lyme, Hanley, Longton, Fenton, Burslem, Tunstall, Trentham, Stone, and Leek.
Do you only build WordPress websites?
No. We recommend the right technical approach for the project. For most business websites, WordPress is a strong choice because it gives the client ownership, flexibility, and easy content editing. For more complex requirements, we can also plan custom development, integrations, portals, and database-backed systems.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We build websites with practical editing workflows so your team can update normal content without needing a developer for every small change.
Do you use templates?
No. We do not build around generic pre-bought templates. We create a custom structure and design system around your business, your content, and your goals.
Can you rebuild my existing website?
Yes. We can review your current website, identify what is working, what is causing problems, and whether it should be improved, rebuilt, or replaced.
Can you help with SEO?
Yes. We build websites with technical SEO foundations in place, including page structure, metadata, headings, internal linking, redirects, performance considerations, and indexable content. We can also support local SEO and service-page planning.
Do we deal with account managers or developers?
You deal directly with senior developers. This keeps communication clear and helps technical decisions happen earlier in the project.
Are you local to Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. Katatomic is based in North Staffordshire and works with businesses across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, and Cheshire.
Can you integrate the website with our CRM or internal systems?
Yes. Our background includes custom development and database-driven systems, so we can plan integrations with CRMs, ERPs, APIs, forms, portals, and other internal workflows where appropriate.
How much does a website cost?
Every website is different, so the figures below are intended as a guide rather than fixed packages. They are designed to give you a realistic starting point before we talk, while recognising that the final cost depends on the scale, content, functionality and level of support required.
Focused business website
From £3,250 (ex. VAT)
For smaller businesses that need a professional, credible website with a clear structure, strong presentation and straightforward functionality.
This is best suited to projects where the scope is tightly defined, content is relatively simple, and the main aim is to give the business a stronger online presence.
Typical SME website / redesign
Usually £5,000–£10,000 (ex. VAT)
For established businesses whose current website is outdated, unclear, underperforming or no longer reflects what they do.
These projects usually involve more planning, stronger page structure, bespoke design, improved messaging, technical SEO foundations, forms, analytics and a website that is easier to manage and build upon.
Larger bespoke / ecommerce / custom WordPress
Usually £10,000–£20,000+ (ex. VAT)
For websites that need more than a standard brochure structure, such as WooCommerce, product catalogues, gated content, directories, customer areas, advanced forms, downloads, campaign tracking or more bespoke WordPress functionality.
These projects are scoped around the specific commercial and operational requirements of the business.
Complex systems / integrations
Quoted after discovery
For projects involving custom workflows, CRM or third-party integrations, data handling, portals, automation, specialist reporting or business-critical functionality.
These need a proper discovery stage so we can understand the requirements, risks and best technical approach before giving a meaningful quotation.
Where helpful, we can separate a quotation into core requirements and optional enhancements, so you can see what is essential now and what could sensibly be added later.
