📞 07454 150 797Web Design for Bath Businesses
Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in Britain — a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge, and a thriving independent business economy. It's also a city with no shortage of web design agencies, many of them charging prices that reflect the city's premium reputation.
I'm based in Glastonbury, 25 miles to the south — far enough to have kept my overheads manageable, close enough to drive to Bath in 40 minutes and meet you face to face. For small businesses, therapists, and independent creatives in Bath who want genuinely good web design without the agency price tag, I offer something most Bath agencies don't: you deal with me directly, from first conversation to launch and beyond.
The Bath market has particular strengths in tourism, hospitality, independent retail, therapy and wellness, professional services, and creative industries. These are exactly the sectors I know best — and the sectors where a well-designed, properly optimised website makes the biggest difference to whether a customer picks you or your nearest competitor.

Web Design in Bath, Somerset
Bath is unique. As a UNESCO World Heritage City, it has a character and a market unlike almost anywhere else in the West of England — a rich mix of independent retailers, boutique hospitality, a large and active therapy and wellness community, professional services, creative businesses, and a booming tourism economy drawing visitors from around the world. A website for a Bath business needs to reflect that quality.
The web design market in Bath reflects the city's premium reputation — there are a number of well-established local agencies doing good work, but they come with agency overheads and agency pricing. For a small independent business, a sole trader, or a therapist just starting out, the cost of working with a Bath agency can be a genuine barrier. That's where I come in.
As a freelancer based 25 miles away in Glastonbury, I can offer Bath businesses the quality of design and depth of attention they deserve — at a price that reflects the reality of running a small business, not the overhead of a city agency. I know the therapy and wellness sector particularly well, which makes Bath a natural market for me: the city has one of the highest concentrations of counsellors, psychotherapists, and complementary therapists in the country.
If you're a Bath business looking for a web designer who will treat your project with care, build something genuinely good, and still be there when you need support six months later — I'd be glad to have a conversation.
