Web design in Birmingham
Your website competes against firms with London reach but local roots. We build sites that load instantly, guide visitors to contact you, and stand up to the scrutiny of buyers who've done their homework on three shortlists already.
Web design for Birmingham businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We track load time under 2.5 seconds, Core Web Vitals in the green, mobile usability scores above 90, and conversion paths for every visitor type. You get monthly reports showing page performance, where visitors come from, and which pages drive contact or sales. We measure what matters to your business, not vanity metrics.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Everything we deliver includes
Fixed prices
A clear quote and timeline up front — no open-ended retainers, no surprises.
A named lead
One person who knows the project, on UK hours, not a ticket queue.
Green Core Web Vitals
Built to pass Google's speed thresholds on a mid-range phone, not just on fibre.
WCAG 2.2 AA as the target
Built to it and tested against it, so accessibility is not a later retrofit.
Designed around the enquiry
Every page has one obvious next step, and we measure whether people take it.
Yours to own
You own the site, the hosting and the accounts. No lock-in, ever.
Why Birmingham buyers read your site differently
Birmingham's professional-services sector has grown because established firms opened second offices here. That means your visitors are used to dealing with London-standard operations. They expect your site to load instantly. They expect clear conversion paths. They expect it to work flawlessly on mobile, because they're often reviewing shortlists between meetings. Anything that feels slow or unclear reads as amateur.
Your manufacturing or engineering background matters here. Buyers in this region value longevity and track record. They'll check how long you've been operating before they call. Your website needs to reinforce credibility the same way a well-maintained workshop does. Clear information. No gimmicks. Proof that you've done this properly, repeatedly.
Sites built for decision-makers in a competitive shortlist
We design sites that do the work before anyone picks up the phone. Visitors land on a page, understand what you do in seconds, and know exactly how to move forward. Whether they're booking a consultation, requesting a quote, or downloading a specification—the path is obvious and frictionless. No dead ends. No confusion about next steps.
Core Web Vitals matter to your buyers. They expect pages to load within two seconds. They expect scrolling and interaction to feel instant. Slow performance reads as carelessness. We measure site speed, responsiveness, and visual stability as non-negotiable. These aren't nice-to-haves. They're table stakes for how your business presents itself.
Accessibility built in, not treated as compliance theatre
Accessible websites work for everyone. They also rank better, load faster, and convert more reliably. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as a target standard. That means clear navigation, readable text, proper contrast, keyboard support, and screen-reader compatibility from the start. Not bolted on at the end. Not a separate project. Built into every decision.
For professional-services firms, accessibility removes friction. Your clients may be older, or visiting from a phone in poor light, or using assistive technology. A properly accessible site welcomes all of them. It signals that you've thought about detail. That matters when someone's deciding whether to trust you with a six-figure contract.
Mobile-first design for how your visitors actually browse
Most of your visitors arrive on mobile. Half of them are comparing you against competitors they shortlisted on their phone yesterday. The site has to work flawlessly on small screens, in poor light, on inconsistent connections. Typography has to be readable. Touch targets have to be hit-able. Forms have to work without frustration. Desktop can be beautiful, but mobile has to be usable.
We design for mobile first, then scale up. That means every element earns its place. Every interaction counts. Every tap takes someone closer to contacting you or placing an order. On a phone, confusion doesn't bounce them to a different page—it bounces them to your competitor's site. Mobile-first is how you win in a competitive market.
Web design in Birmingham — common questions
How do you know if the site is actually working?
We track page load time, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, conversion paths, and which pages drive contact or sales. You get monthly reports showing what's moving. We measure against benchmarks for your sector. If something isn't converting, we test and iterate. No guessing.
Do you build on templates or from scratch?
We build sites custom to your brand and conversion goals. Not templates. Not page builders. We write code, design for your specific industry, and build infrastructure that scales with your business. Speed and reliability need to be engineered, not assembled.
How long does this take?
Typically 8–12 weeks from start to launch. That includes discovery, design rounds, build, testing, and deployment. We work on a fixed timeline with clear milestones. No open-ended projects or endless revision cycles. You know when launch happens.
Why should I use a local agency instead of a London firm or freelancer?
You'll work directly with the people building your site, not a project manager. We understand Birmingham's professional-services and manufacturing sectors. We're not geographically local but we're reachable and accountable. No handoffs. No queue behind bigger clients.
I've been running my business for twenty years. Will your site feel too modern or risky?
No. We build credible, professional sites that reflect substance over novelty. Clean design, clear information, reliable performance. Your site looks like a well-established firm, because you are. Modern doesn't mean flashy. It means fast, accessible, and trustworthy.
What happens after launch? Do you maintain the site?
We can. Maintenance includes security updates, performance monitoring, and technical support. You can also hand it to your own team or another provider. We'll brief whoever takes it over and stay available for questions. The site is yours to own or outsource as you choose.
