Web Design in Eccles | Howfen Studio

Websites Built To Stand Out and Perform

We design and build fast, conversion-focused websites that help local businesses grow with confidence.

Built for performance. Not just presentation.

We design and build websites for businesses that want things done properly. We’re a web design studio based in Eccles, we work with clients across the UK to create fast, clear websites that are easy to use and easy to manage.

We’ve been doing this for over 15 years. That experience means we know what works, what causes problems later on, and what isn’t worth your time or money. We make sensible decisions, use the right tools for the job, and build websites that can grow without needing constant fixes or rebuilds.

Whether it’s WordPress, Laravel or something custom, the goal is always the same. Build it cleanly, make it perform well, and make sure it genuinely supports the business behind it.

Discuss your project

Performance first

Speed, structure and usability come before anything else. A website should load quickly, work properly and be easy for people to use, not just look good in a screenshot.

Clear, honest advice

We don’t upsell, overcomplicate or hide behind jargon. You’ll get straight answers, clear reasoning and honest guidance, even if that means saying something isn’t needed.

Built for the long term

We design and build websites with the future in mind. Solid foundations, sensible technology choices and clean builds that won’t need replacing when your business grows.

Websites that grow with you

Every site we build is designed to scale. Easy to manage, easy to extend and set up to support real business goals as things change over time.
