Website design for new businesses

Don’t settle for a half-arsed website – get taken seriously from day one

You’re not launching a business just to slap up a website and hope for the best. You want something that actually works – bringing in the right leads, building credibility, and backing up your purpose from day one.

At Bad Egg, we create strategic sites that are a true asset to your new business, rather than a pain in the ass. We know all the usual website mistakes – and will help you avoid every single one.

Shit-hot websites that match your vision – now and in the future

You’re excited by your new business and need a website that matches your purpose-led mission. But you’re starting from scratch, and want to make sure you do it properly so you’re not having to repeat things in a year (or even less).

You’re in the right place. We develop websites from the ground up using core design and UX principles from the start, so you can focus on growing your business. Our Website Start Up gives you the ability to:

Build instant credibility and authority

When you’re a new business (or a newly visible one), it’s important to build trust and credibility from the get-go.

A custom website gives you a great advantage, and you’ll be taken seriously from the start.

Clearly communicate your purpose

Many start-up businesses fall into the DIY template site trap, which is often generic and forgettable.

Custom websites are built around you and the awesome work you’re doing, so more of the right people engage.

Grow with your business

A custom-coded site means you can start simple and make changes as your business and offer adapt.

Plus, all customers access our easy-to-use interface, which means you can’t break things, and edits are a breeze.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone needing branding or web design

whether you’re an individual or an organization, he brings creativity, clarity, and integrity to the work.

FAQs about our website design for new businesses

Which platform will you use to build my website?

Your site will be built with custom code through WordPress, with features fully tailored to your business. We never use templated builders. You’ll have an easy-to-use interface that’s simple to update, so you don’t have to worry about breaking anything.

Can you maintain my website after it’s built?

Yes, we offer website hosting services to all clients to keep your website secure, healthy, and working properly as your business grows. Because we’re the ones who built the site, we know it inside out – but we’ll never lock you in.

You’ll always have full access, and complete backups are available if you ever choose to move on. Your website is built on open, well-supported technology, so you’re never dependent on us.

I already have a website. Is this service for me?

When designing websites for start-ups, we usually prefer to wipe the slate clean from any DIY sites first. We then treat your project as a brand new website, looking at everything fully from concept to launch. You get the best results that way. Book a call to discuss your project, and we’ll guide you through the process.

How much does your Website Start Up service cost?

The final price will depend on your business and your customers. Factors such as website size and functionality affect the price, but we’ll offer a tailored quote to suit you.

As a guide, single page websites start from £1,000. Larger websites with around 5 pages start from £5,000. Each project is different to the next, so it’s best to contact us and have a chat.

How does the Website Start Up process work?

Get in touch and tell us about your business, then we’ll book a video call to discuss your goals in detail. After that, we’ll send a clear proposal outlining the support you need. Once agreed, we design and build your website from the ground up, keeping you updated throughout, and launch a site that’s ready to support your business from day one.

I have a website already. Is this the right service for me?

If you’ve launched a quick DIY website to get started, and want to do things properly, yes. We will still treat you as if you don’t have a website yet, taking you through the full design and development stages from concept to launch. If you’re looking to make your existing site better, our Website Tune Up might be better for you.

What do I need to share for the best results?

If you’re a start-up, it’s completely normal not to have everything figured out yet. A big part of our job is helping you understand the website design process so you’re never left feeling stuck or confused.

To get the most from this service, it helps if you have a clear idea of:

  • Who your ideal customers are
  • What you’re offering (even if it’s just one offer to start with)
  • The wider mission or purpose behind your business

Everything else – structure, design, content, and how it all comes together – is something we’ll support you with along the way. Contact us to get started.

Can you help with my messaging and copy, too?

Yes. While you can write your own copy, we recommend working with a professional copywriter to clearly define your message and communicate it effectively. We collaborate closely with copywriters to make the process smooth – and the end result stronger.

I don’t have an official brand yet. Can you help?

Yes. Alongside website design and development, we offer branding services for start-ups – creating a visual identity (logo, colours, typography) and applying your website and other digital assets. Get in touch, and we’ll chat about everything you need.

Where in the world will my website be hosted?

We make sure to host your website close to where your customers are for the fastest load times and to remain under familiar data jurisdiction. We’ll figure this out with you before it’s time to launch.

Do I own the work you produce?

Yes, upon final payment, the intellectual property transfers to you. This is all detailed in our contract, but get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

Start strong with a website you’re really fucking proud of

Make people think, “Holy shit, they know their stuff” from the get-go with our Website Start Up service. Contact us to chat and begin the process.
