Website Design — Carlisle & Cumbria

Websites built to work as hard as you do.

From one-page sites to full corporate builds, XL Design and Code has you covered — fast, SEO-friendly and affordable.

Our expertise spans the spectrum, from WordPress mastery to crafting custom content management systems.

Each project is meticulously designed for search engine optimisation, ensuring visibility on local searches. Responsive across all devices, our focus remains on delivering not just functional, but beautifully designed and user-friendly websites.

What's Included

A website built around your business, not a template.

Every build starts with what your business actually needs — not the easiest option for us.

WordPress & Custom CMS Builds

From one-page brochure sites to full custom content management systems, we build on the platform that's right for your business — not just the one that's easiest for us.

SEO-Focused Foundations

Every site is built with search visibility in mind from day one — clean code, fast load times and on-page SEO structured to help you rank in local searches.

Responsive, Multi-Device Design

Your website needs to work everywhere your customers are — phone, tablet or desktop. Every build is tested and refined across devices before it goes live.

User-Friendly UX & Conversion

A beautiful website is only half the job. We design clear navigation and calls to action that turn visitors into enquiries, not just page views.

Fast, Secure & Reliable Builds

Speed and security aren't an afterthought. We build lean, well-structured sites that load quickly and stand up to the demands of a live website.

Ongoing Support & Maintenance

Launch day isn't the finish line. We're on hand for updates, fixes and improvements long after your site goes live, so it keeps working as hard as you do.

What We Deliver

Everything a modern website needs, built in.

From the first sitemap to the last plugin update — the full build, not just the design file.

How We Work

From brief to launch, and beyond.

The same process whether it's a one-page site or a full custom build.

01

Discover & plan

We start by understanding your business, audience and goals, then map out the structure and content your site actually needs.

02

Design

Visual design built around your brand — laid out and tested across devices before a single line of code is written.

03

Build & integrate

Development on WordPress or a custom CMS, with SEO foundations, forms and any integrations wired in and tested end-to-end.

04

Launch & support

Your site goes live, then we're on hand for updates, fixes and ongoing support to keep it working.
