What is TheWebSmiths?

Updated

TheWebSmiths is a website design and development specialist based in Middlewich, Cheshire. Its own site describes the business as covering website design & development, ecommerce solutions, secure web hosting, domain management, and search engine optimisation — so it presents itself as a single provider for building a site and keeping it online, rather than a general-purpose agency.

What TheWebSmiths offers

Based on the service list published on the site, the offer splits into five areas:

Service What it covers, as described
Website design & development Design and build of websites
Ecommerce solutions Online selling functionality
Secure web hosting Hosting for the sites it builds or manages
Domain management Handling of domain names
Search engine optimisation Work aimed at improving search visibility

The combination matters if you would rather deal with one supplier for design, hosting, domains, and SEO than coordinate separate providers for each. It also means the relevant questions to ask are about how those services are bundled and priced together, since the site itself does not publish pricing.

Who it is aimed at

The site positions TheWebSmiths as a specialist rather than a broad agency, and names its base as Middlewich, Cheshire. That local framing is useful if you are a business in Cheshire or the wider North West of England and prefer a provider you can meet or who knows the local market. It does not, however, mean the services are limited to that area — the site does not state a geographic restriction.

How to judge whether it fits your project

Before making contact, work out which of the five services you actually need:

  • New site only — you need design & development, and probably hosting and a domain afterwards.
  • Existing site, poor search visibility — SEO is the relevant service, but ask whether it is offered independently of a rebuild.
  • Moving hosts or domains — hosting and domain management are the services to ask about, including how transfers are handled.
  • Selling online — ecommerce solutions, plus hosting, since shop performance depends on the hosting setup.

The site provides a recent projects section and an about section, which are the two places to look for evidence of work comparable to yours. Check whether the projects shown match your sector, size, and whether they include ecommerce if that is what you need.

What the site does not tell you

The published material does not include prices, package tiers, contract terms, or turnaround times. Treat those as questions for a direct enquiry rather than assumptions — nothing on the site indicates the services are free, and no payment or pricing details are listed.
