Web Design

Web Design

We've been designing websites since 1997 for a huge range of clients and agencies, across a broad spectrum of industries. Everything we do is simple, focussed and easy to use.


Web Design that works — beautifully, intelligently, and purposefully

At DesignKarma, we design and build bespoke websites that don’t just look great — they perform. Every decision we make is focused on clarity, usability and results.

With decades of experience delivering websites for businesses, organisations and agencies across the UK and beyond, we combine thoughtful design with technical expertise to create digital experiences that engage, convert and last.

Make the right decisions and good things happen

We believe great web design is the result of hundreds of small, smart decisions. From layout and typography to performance and accessibility, every detail contributes to the overall experience.

That’s where the “karma” comes in — invest in the right decisions early, and your website will reward you with better engagement, stronger conversions and long-term value.

Simple, focused, user-first design

Good design isn’t about decoration — it’s about communication. We create websites that:

  • Are clear, intuitive and easy to navigate
  • Work seamlessly across mobile, tablet and desktop
  • Present your content in a structured, engaging way
  • Are built with accessibility and performance in mind

Whether you’re launching a new brand or refining an existing one, we design with your users — and your goals — at the centre.

Proven experience across sectors

We’ve been designing websites since the early days of the web, working with a wide range of clients — from small businesses to large organisations including the NHS and Riviera Travel.

Today, we specialise in modern, scalable websites powered by Craft CMS, giving you full control over your content with a clean, flexible editing experience.

Typography, hierarchy and clarity

Typography is at the heart of great design. The right typefaces, spacing and scale can transform how your content is understood. We carefully craft:

  • Font pairings that reflect your brand
  • Clear typographic hierarchy for readability
  • Consistent spacing and rhythm across your site

The result is content that feels effortless to read and visually cohesive.

FAQ

It depends. The cost depends on the size, functionality and level of customisation required. We design and build websites from scratch, so every project is tailored to your business. You’ll receive a clear, fixed quote based on your goals—ensuring you get exactly what you need, without unnecessary extras.

If you’d like a rough idea of cost, we’re happy to provide a quick estimate.

Absolutely—all websites we build are fully responsive, meaning they work seamlessly across mobiles, tablets and desktops. We place a strong focus on mobile usability, as this is often where the majority of your visitors will come from.

If you plan on making regular changes, then yes. We build websites using user-friendly content management systems like Craft CMS, allowing you to easily update text, images and other content without needing technical knowledge. We’ll also provide guidance so you feel confident managing your site.

No, not at all. As long as your web host meets the necessary requirements, you're welcome to use your own service provider.

With that being said, in our experience—especially if this is a new website powered by Craft CMS—it's advisable that we host for you. That way, we can easily access the server in order to make updates and so on.

Yes—every website we build includes a strong technical SEO foundation, including fast load times, clean code and search-friendly structure.

We also offer ongoing SEO services if you’re looking to improve rankings and generate more traffic over time.

Agile, collaborative design

We don’t disappear for weeks and return with static mockups. Instead, we design in the browser — iteratively and collaboratively. This approach allows us to:

  • Test ideas in real-world conditions early
  • Refine layouts and interactions as we go
  • Involve you in shaping the final product
  • Speed up delivery without compromising quality

It’s a more transparent, efficient way to build websites — and our clients love it.

Flexible partnerships

We work both directly with clients and in collaboration with agencies, seamlessly integrating into your workflow.

Whether you need a full website design and build, or a reliable technical partner, we bring the same attention to detail, clear communication and commitment to quality.

If you’re planning a new website or looking to improve an existing one, we’d love to help. Talk to us about your project — and let’s make the right decisions from the start.
