Oxfordshire, at present, is home to over 32,000 businesses, meaning that whatever industry you operate in, your niche is likely to have both competition and opportunity online. At Scale Oxford, we provide high-quality web design services for Oxfordshire businesses, creating websites that perform technically and are built with SEO and wider marketing readiness in mind.
We provide custom website design for businesses that need something built around their brand and customers. This can include corporate sites, service-led websites and ecommerce stores. The structure and visual direction are defined before development begins.
Smartphones account for 75% of men’s and 79% of women’s time spent online (Ofcom). We design navigation and content with the mobile experience in mind, rather than simply shrinking a desktop layout.
We redesign websites that feel outdated or no longer present the business clearly. The existing site is reviewed first, then the structure and visual direction are revised where needed.
Websites with booking systems, calculators or other interactive features need interfaces that are easy to understand. We design each element around the task the user needs to complete and keep it consistent with the rest of the website.
Our web designers in Oxfordshire can review an existing website and advise on specific design problems. This can cover page layouts, usability and visual direction, followed by clear recommendations for the next stage.

Reachable like a colleague, not a support ticket.
Local business. A clinic, a dealership, a restaurant group: the demand is already here and already looking.
Ecommerce. A shop that sells online: most of the work is buying the demand and keeping the store fast.
SaaS. Software sold by subscription: found on its own terms, and sold to as well as marketed at.
Manufacturer. A business that sells to other businesses in volume, where the order comes after a conversation.
B2B services. A firm that sells expertise: most of the effort is starting conversations with the right people.

Web design typically ranges from around £500 for a simple business site to £5,000+ for more complex projects. Price mainly depends on the number of pages, design complexity, functionality and platform. You may also have separate ongoing costs for website hosting, domain renewal and business email hosting.
At Scale Oxford, standard business websites typically take around 7–10 days, while more complex builds can take up to 45 days. Across the wider UK web design industry, standard agency projects more commonly take around 4–10 weeks, with larger websites and more involved design requirements pushing timelines higher.
We create websites around the needs of each business rather than using one fixed layout. The page structure and visual direction are planned for the individual project, while the underlying platform can vary depending on what the website requires.
Yes. We can design the interface and user journey for features such as booking systems, catalogues, calculators and other interactive elements. The design is planned around how the feature needs to work and how it fits with the rest of the website.
Yes. Once the website is launched, ownership of the site, hosting and domain is transferred to you. Our access is removed after handover and only added again if you ask us to make further changes or provide ongoing support.
Yes, absolutely. Editing is particularly easy if your site is built on a no-code platform such as WordPress, where you can change text, images, pages and other content without needing a developer. For custom-coded sites, we can also build in an admin area or CMS so the parts you need to manage remain easy to update.
Yes. We can review the current design and page structure to identify where visitors may be having problems. We then redesign the parts that need improvement and adapt the new layouts for mobile use.
Yes. Our web designers work with businesses across the county, in Oxford itself and in Banbury, Bicester, Witney, Abingdon and Didcot. Our prices and timelines are the same wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
