Web design in Derby
Web design in Derby that brings in enquiries.
We're DLZ Design, a husband-and-wife web studio about half an hour from Derby, near Ashby de la Zouch. We've built websites for Derby and Derbyshire businesses like W. Napier Plant Hire, Lacey & Owen Architects and IVC Brunel, and for hundreds more since 2003.
Our Derby work
Websites we've built for Derby and Derbyshire.
Architects, plant hire and manufacturing: different businesses, the same goal of winning more work online.

IVC Brunel
A video-led website for the UK's leading nutritional supplement manufacturer, built to reflect a business operating at international scale.
“Danny was great to work with for our company website. Very knowledgeable and quick to respond.”Rob Walton, IVC Brunel · Google reviewRead the case study →

Lacey & Owen Architects
A redesigned website and new logo for an architecture practice we first worked with many years ago, who came back to us for a fresh look.
“Always very professional with a quick turn around and with great looking product at the end.”Mark Owen, Lacey & Owen · Google reviewRead the case study →

W. Napier Plant Hire
New branding and a new website for a fast-growing Derbyshire plant hire company, built to show its size and promote its full range of machines.
See the project →Why Derby businesses need a strong website
Derby is full of businesses that do great work. Not all of them show it online.
Derby is built on making things. Alongside the big names in rail, aerospace and automotive, the city and the towns around it are home to thousands of smaller firms: suppliers, contractors, trades, retailers and professional services. A lot of them win most of their work through reputation. But reputation now gets checked online, and a dated website can quietly cost you the job before you even know you were in the running.
We build websites that do your reputation justice. For IVC Brunel, that meant a website that shows the scale of a major manufacturer to retailers, brands and new recruits. For W. Napier Plant Hire, it meant showing a growing business at its real size. Whatever you do, we'll work out what your customers need to see and make sure they see it quickly.
We're based near Ashby de la Zouch, about half an hour from the city centre, and Danny's a Derby County fan (we try not to hold it against him). We work by phone, email and video call, so there's no need to travel to us.

Do you work with businesses in Derby?+
Yes. We've built websites for businesses in Derby and across Derbyshire, including Lacey & Owen Architects, W. Napier Plant Hire and IVC Brunel in South Derbyshire, and we work with companies from Mickleover and Littleover to Belper and Ripley.
Do I need a Derby-based web designer?+
Not really. What matters is that your web designer understands your customers and is easy to get hold of. We're half an hour away and work by phone, email and video call, so you get the same quick service wherever you are.
How much does a new website cost?+
It depends on the size of the site and what it needs to do, so we don't publish a one-size-fits-all price. Start with a free website review and we'll give you a clear, fixed quote.
Can you help my business show up on Google in Derby?+
Yes. Every site we build is set up for search from the start, and our local SEO service goes further. We also offer SEO in Derby for businesses that want to push higher.
Can you look after our website once it's built?+
Yes. Our affordable monthly care plans cover updates, backups, security and small changes. If someone else built your site, start with a free WordPress health check.
