Website Designer Swansea
Running a business in Swansea means competing in one of Wales' most active commercial cities, with established businesses across hospitality, trades, tourism, and retail already building their digital presence. If yours is not working for you, you are handing enquiries to someone else.
Most small business websites fall into one of two categories. They look like they were put together in an afternoon on a free platform, or they look passable but do absolutely nothing. No calls, no enquiries. Just sitting there, costing money.
I build websites for Swansea businesses with one question in mind: what does this need to do? Then I choose the right platform, get the structure right from the start, and build something that actually earns its keep.
The reality
Good websites
earn their keep.
A Swansea website built with a purpose generates enquiries. One that is not is just a cost on your books.
75%
of users judge a business credibility by its website design
53%
of mobile visitors leave if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load

Purpose built Swansea websites. No templates, no lock-in, no surprises.
Get startedPlatform Options
Every business in Swansea has different needs. Here are the three platforms I build on and which one is right for you.
A fully coded website built in Next.js, with Sanity CMS so you can log in and edit your own content whenever you need to. No templates, no page builders, no phoning a developer every time a price changes. You get a fast, clean, purpose built site and full control over what is on it.
WordPress is a widely supported platform and I still build on it for clients who want it. You can manage content yourself without technical knowledge. I build clean, properly structured WordPress sites, not off the shelf theme installs loaded with plugins.
Shopify is purpose built for selling. It handles payments, stock, shipping, and checkout out of the box. I set it up properly from day one so you are not undoing bad decisions later.

What You Get
Every website I build for Swansea businesses comes with the following as standard. No add-on charges, no surprises.
Your site will look sharp and work properly on every device. That is where the majority of your customers are coming from, whether they are in Swansea city centre, Mumbles, or further afield.
Page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, and site speed. All sorted before you go live, not bolted on afterwards.
Slow sites lose visitors. I build lean, optimised sites that load quickly and keep people on the page long enough to enquire.
Your site is served over HTTPS as standard. No extra charge, no negotiating. It is just how it should be.
Got a question after launch? Need a change made? I am available. You will not be passed to a ticket system or left to figure it out yourself.
The site is yours. No proprietary system you cannot leave, no held-hostage hosting arrangements. If you ever want to move on, you take everything with you.
Why BLACKdot
I am not a template factory or an offshore operation. I work with businesses across South Wales including Swansea and understand what your customers expect when they land on your site.
Every site I build starts with a question: what does this need to do? Not what does it need to look like. Function drives form.
Every site comes with proper page structure, meta data, image optimisation, and speed baked in from the start. Not an afterthought, not an upsell.
The site is yours. Monthly plans include the option to leave on 30 days notice after 12 months. Upfront projects are a one-off payment with no ongoing obligation.
No quote forms, no sales calls just to find out what it costs. Prices are published right here on this page. What you see is what you pay.
Got a question after launch? Need a small change? I am contactable and I respond. You will not be passed to a ticket queue or left to figure it out yourself.
Ready for a Swansea website that works for your business?
Book a free callHow It Works
We spend 30 minutes talking about your business, your goals, and what you need your website to actually do. No jargon. Just a proper conversation about what I am building and why.
I will send you a clear written proposal with a fixed price and a realistic timeline. No vague estimates, no moving goalposts.
You sign off on designs before I write a single line of code. Once you are happy, I build it. You get regular updates along the way and you are never left wondering where things are up to.
Once signed off, the site goes live. I will walk you through how everything works so you are confident managing it. And I am still here if you need me after that.

Common Questions
Most projects are live within two to four weeks of the initial deposit or first payment. Larger or more complex builds take longer, but I will give you a realistic timeline upfront, not a date pulled out of thin air.
Monthly plans run on a minimum 12 month term. After that, it is 30 days notice to cancel. Upfront projects are a one-off payment with no ongoing contract at all.
Yes. WordPress and Shopify sites are built to be managed without a developer. I will show you how to make updates before handover. For custom coded sites, I handle changes as part of your ongoing support.
Every site I build has proper SEO foundations in place from the start: page structure, meta data, image optimisation, and site speed. That gives you a solid base. Ranking competitively for specific search terms in Swansea requires ongoing SEO work on top of that, which I also offer separately. Swansea is a competitive market across hospitality, trades, tourism, and retail so getting the foundations right from day one matters.
Yes. I work with businesses in Swansea city centre, Uplands, Sketty, Mumbles, Gorseinon, Morriston, Llansamlet, Brynmill, Bonymaen, Townhill, Manselton, Cwmbwrla, Cockett, Dunvant, Killay, Clydach, Birchgrove and the surrounding area. Web design work is location independent on my end.
