Shops, cafes and hospitality
Customers check opening hours, menus and location on their phones before they visit. Your website needs to answer those questions in seconds, and your Google profile needs to match.

Web design company serving Lichfield
Website design for Lichfield businesses, from a team a short drive away
Lichfield has a varied business community, from independent shops and hospitality to professional firms, tradespeople and growing online sellers. What they share is that most new customers now check a website, a Google listing or both before they pick up the phone.
Purple Cloud Solutions is a web design company based in Sutton Coldfield. We design, build and support websites for businesses in Lichfield and across Staffordshire and the West Midlands, and we have been doing it since 2010. We do not have a Lichfield office, but we are near enough to be easy to work with.
If you are searching for a web designer in Lichfield, or you want a website designer who will explain your options without pushing you towards the most expensive one, start with a conversation. Our website design service explains how we work in more detail.
What your site needs to do
Different Lichfield businesses need different websites
A website for a cafe is not the same as one for an accountant. We start with what your customers need.
Professional and financial firms
Clients want reassurance before they get in touch. Clear service pages, genuine reviews and an obvious way to book a conversation do most of the work.
Trades and home services
Many tradespeople cover Lichfield and the villages around it. A site that lists the areas you cover, shows your work and makes asking for a quote simple tends to win the enquiry.
Clinics, salons and wellbeing
People often choose based on trust and convenience. Clear treatments, pricing information where appropriate and easy contact or booking make that choice easier.
Online and ecommerce sellers
If you sell products, the priorities are a store that is easy to manage, clear product pages and a checkout that does not put customers off.
Venues, clubs and organisations
Events, opening times and contact details need to be easy to update and easy for visitors to find, without waiting on a developer.
Google visibility
Be easy to find when Lichfield customers search
When someone searches for a service in Lichfield, Google looks at your website, your Google Business Profile and what other people say about you. A site that is slow, vague or built without search in mind makes that harder.
Start with the website
We build every site with a clean structure, descriptive headings and fast loading, so the basics are right from launch rather than patched in later.
Add local and wider SEO where it helps
Local SEO strengthens your Google Maps presence and location relevance. Search engine optimisation is better for businesses that want to be found further afield. Both build on a well-made website.
Consider paid search carefully
Google Ads can bring enquiries sooner while organic visibility develops, but it is not right for every business. We will say so honestly if it is not.
No one can guarantee rankings. What we can do is give you the strongest foundations and clear advice.
Choosing your build
WordPress website or ecommerce store?
Most businesses only need one of these. We will help you work out which.
A WordPress business website
The right choice for most Lichfield businesses: a professional site of clear pages that you can edit yourself, and that we can host and support. Starter websites start from £499, with larger builds priced on request.
WordPress websitesAn ecommerce website
If you want to sell products online, whether as your main business or alongside a physical shop, we can build a store designed around how your customers actually buy.
Ecommerce websites Choosing a web designer
What to look for in a Lichfield web design company
Choosing someone to build your website is a significant decision, and the cheapest quote is not always the best value. Here are the things worth checking, whoever you speak to.
We are happy to be measured against all of them. Our portfolio and client reviews are public, so you can judge for yourself.
-
Examples and evidence
Ask to see real work and read genuine client feedback, not just a list of promises.
-
Plain pricing
You should know what you are paying for, and what is not included, before you commit.
-
Search structure built in
A good site is set up to be found. It should not need rebuilding to appear on Google.
-
Ownership and access
Your domain, your content and your site should belong to you.
-
Support after launch
Websites need updates, security and the occasional change. Check who looks after that.
How it works

Simple, clear and with no hidden extras.

Talk it through
A free, no pressure conversation about your business, your customers and what your website needs to do.
-
Agree the plan
The pages, the content and a clear price, agreed before design starts.
-
Build and launch
A fast, mobile-first website built and launched carefully, with search structure in place.

Questions
Web design in Lichfield: your questions answered
Can you help with SEO after my Lichfield website launches?
Yes. Every site we build includes search-friendly structure from the start. If you want ongoing work after launch, we offer local SEO for Google Maps and nearby searches, and broader search engine optimisation for wider visibility. We will suggest what fits your business rather than pushing a fixed package.
How much does web design cost for a Lichfield business?
Starter websites start from £499. Business and Growth websites are priced on request, because cost depends on the number of pages, whether you need ecommerce and what the site has to do. A free website review is a good first step, and we will give you a clear recommendation and price.
How long does a new website take?
It depends on the size of the project and how quickly content is ready, but a straightforward business website is often a matter of weeks rather than months. We will give you a realistic timeline once we understand what you need.
Can you improve how my business appears on Google?
We can improve the foundations: clear page structure, sensible titles, speed, mobile usability and a complete Google Business Profile. For ongoing growth, our SEO and local SEO services build on that. We cannot guarantee rankings, but we can make sure you are doing the right things properly.
Do I need ecommerce or a standard website?
If you sell products that customers should be able to buy online, you need ecommerce. If people mostly contact you to book, enquire or request a quote, a standard business website is usually simpler and better value. We will tell you which suits you rather than selling more than you need.
Can you take over or redesign my current website?
Yes. We will review what you have, keep what is working and replace what is not. If your current site is slow, outdated or hard to use on a phone, a redesign is often the quickest improvement.
Will I be able to update my own website?
Yes. We build on WordPress, so you can edit text, images and pages yourself. If you would rather not, we can handle changes for you through ongoing support.
Who looks after hosting and security?
We can. Our hosting service covers secure hosting, backups and updates, so you do not need to worry about the technical side. You also keep a direct contact for anything that needs fixing or changing.
