Honest advice. Websites that work. Still here six months after launch.

Why your website is not bringing in the right clients

You have invested in your website, but it is not bringing in the right customers. It might look fine, but it feels slow, outdated, or disconnected from what makes your business great.

When visitors take time to understand what you offer, they leave before they get there. Competitors with clearer, more user friendly websites attract the enquiries that should be coming to you.

Most business websites fail not because they look unprofessional, but because they lack clarity, structure, and a clear reason for visitors to act. That is what good web design solves.

What a Lichfield web design project delivers

  • A website built around your business goals
    Every design decision starts with what you want visitors to do and works backwards from there.
  • Speed and technical performance
    Fast load times, strong Core Web Vitals, and fully responsive designs across every device are built in from the start, not added as afterthoughts.
  • SEO built in from day one
    Page structure, headings, metadata, and internal linking are all set up correctly before launch, giving the site the best possible foundation for local search and the rest of your digital marketing. That foundation matters whatever your business does. When we checked real search demand across local trades in Lichfield, plumbers, dentists, electricians, hairdressers, each one already has genuine monthly search volume, from 90 to 590 searches, and around 100 to 110 competing pages already ranking for it. Whatever you do, that competitive landscape already exists before your new site goes live. A site built with the right foundations from day one is ready to compete in it. One where SEO gets bolted on later is starting from behind.
  • Clarity that converts
    A clear, user friendly layout means visitors understand what you do, who you serve, and what to do next within seconds of landing on your site. That matters because of where most visitors actually are before they ever pick up the phone. Real search data shows the same pattern across trades: “how much does a plumber cost” is searched 390 times a month, “how to find a good electrician” 110 times, “how much does a dentist cost” 50 times. People are actively comparing cost and trust before they commit to anyone. If a visitor lands on an unclear site and can’t find that answer fast, they go back to the results and call whoever answers it first.
  • A platform you can grow with
    Your WordPress website is flexible, well-supported, and straightforward to update. It grows as your business grows. We’ve taken client sites from a single business website into full WooCommerce stores, added course and membership platforms with LearnDash and MemberPress, and even built a custom community platform with single sign-on integration, all without starting over. The same WordPress foundation stretches to match wherever your business goes next.

How a project works

1

Discovery and Planning

Your goals, audience, and competitive landscape are understood before a single page is designed.

2

Structure and development

Page layouts, user flow, and technical foundations are built to ensure the site is fast, secure, and easy to navigate.

3

Design and visual identity

Every graphic design decision is made with a purpose: to reflect your brand, build trust, and guide visitors towards taking action.

4

Launch

After full testing across devices and browsers, the site goes live with support through the first days online.

5

Ongoing care and growth

A website needs ongoing attention to stay secure, up to date, and performing at its best. The Web Care Plan provides continuous monitoring, updates, backups, security protection, and support.

Why Lichfield businesses choose Cosmik Carrot

Cosmik Carrot is based on the edge of Lichfield and has worked as a website designer and design company for local businesses since 2008. That means many years of experience in what actually produces results, not what looks good in a proposal.

Shortlisted for Cannock Chase Business of the Year in 2024, 2025, and 2026 and recognised as a finalist for Best Use of Data at the Midlands Marketing Awards, every project is approached with the same standard: a website that supports your business goals and keeps working long after launch.

You speak directly with the person doing the work throughout. Having worked closely with businesses across Lichfield for years, that level of hands-on customer service is what keeps clients coming back for ongoing design services long after their site goes live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our web design services. Here are the answers we share most often with clients before they begin their project.

How long does a web design project take?

Most projects are completed within four to eight weeks, depending on scope and how quickly content and feedback are provided.

Will my new website include SEO?

Yes. On-page SEO, including page structure, titles, headings, metadata, and internal linking, is built in as standard. Ongoing SEO is a separate service.

Do you only build WordPress websites?

WordPress is the primary platform for every wordpress website we build. It is flexible, well-supported, and the right choice for most business websites. Specialist builds using WooCommerce, BuddyBoss, MemberPress, and LearnDash are also available.

Can you redesign my current website?

Yes. Redesigns and full rebuilds are both available depending on what your current site needs.

Do you write the content for the website?

Content support is available. Bringing clear information about your business to the project leads to better results than starting from scratch.

What happens after the website goes live?

The Web Care Plan provides ongoing hosting, security monitoring, updates, backups, and support to keep the site performing well after launch.

How much does a website cost?

Every project is scoped individually. Book a meeting to discuss your goals and get a clear cost for your specific requirements.

Are you a web design agency or a freelance website designer?

Cosmik Carrot is a small, focused design company. You get the reliability of an agency with the direct access of working with one website designer. There’s no account manager in between; you work with the person actually building your site, and that’s who shows up when you need support after launch.

Ben reviewed my Google business profile and gave me the feedback over a half hour zoom call. The feedback was jargon free which is ideal for a digital immigrant like me (gen X). There were a host of simple actionable advices which should improve my presence over time. Ben was warm and friendly throughout and I'd recommend his services to anyone running a business.

I recently met with Ben at Cosmik Carrot to understand a little more about the art of the possible and what more I can do to support my business Profile using google. In 30 minutes I learned a lot, took a lot of notes and actions to take away and implement.
Great experience all round.
Thanks Ben!!

I found the Google Business Profile Audit by Ben Bradley of Cosmik Carrot incredibly helpful. Ben’s recommendations helped me tailor my profile to my target audience and showed me several areas where I was missing information or not fully utilizing this free Google service.

Ben's knowledge of how search engines work — and how to adjust content for better results — has changed how I look at not only my Google Business Profile, but also my website and the bigger SEO picture.

The amount of information included in the audit was astounding and detailed, but what really stood out was the way Ben explained it. He made the information digestible and easy for a non-geeky person to understand, which is exactly what’s needed to actually make the improvements.

I highly recommend Cosmik Carrot to anyone wanting to grow their business and looking for a knowledgeable partner to help them do it.

Ben spent time assessing and suggesting amendments to my Google business profile for my business (Sara McCracken Consulting The PR Club). It was a thoughtful and insightful session, and I came away with simple actions to make my profile better. Having an up to date profile is essential, and if you need some support then I would highly recommend Ben. Thank you!

Ben ran the free Google Business Profile Audit Strategy effectively and responded well to all questions that I had. Even though it was at no financial cost, it's still an investment of time so I was pleased that Ben kept to the time slot promised, both starting and ending punctually, which I think is important. I now have plenty of action points to pursue in the coming week, so the session was well worth my time..

Ben Bradley and the team at Cosmik Carrot did an outstanding job managing our Google Ads during an extremely difficult period for our business.

At the time we engaged them, the company had suffered a serious website compromise, our Google Business Profile was suspended, and we had lost most of our trust signals with Google. As a result, our organic traffic had dropped to nearly zero, putting the business at real risk.

Through a carefully managed Google Ads strategy, along with targeted website adjustments, Cosmik Carrot helped stabilize traffic, maintain lead flow, and keep the company operational while trust was rebuilt. Their approach was thoughtful, disciplined, and focused on protecting the business rather than chasing short-term metrics.

We genuinely credit their work with helping us stay in business during a critical period. I would highly recommend Ben Bradley and Cosmik Carrot to any company facing complex Google Ads or visibility challenges.

He took the time to explain everything clearly, highlighted things I hadn’t even considered, and gave really practical, easy-to-action advice. No pressure, no salesy pitch, just real value and insight. You can tell he truly knows his stuff. I’d absolutely recommend Ben to anyone wanting to improve their online visibility. Thanks again!

I would highly recommend Ben at Cosmik Carrot. My business is less than a year old and I have been working on many areas. One area I have neglected is my Google business profile and presence. Ben offered to run an audit and provide some insight and strategy. He took me through everything step by step and we identified lots of areas where things could be improved. I was impressed by Ben's knowledge and the great way he took me through everything. If you want to boost your presence and build a digital marketing strategy I recommend you contact Ben at Cosmik Carrot.

Design is beautiful, it loads quickly and we know he’ll continue to do a great job with SEO and Google ads bringing us in a lot of traffic and enquiries. Cannot recommend Ben and Cosmik Carrot highly enough - communication is great, process is well laid out and easy, he provides ongoing excellent support and we love the high end design and functionality.

Our website was created on a customised buddyboss platform by our original web developers but had developed multiple issues that other developers couldn't fix. We needed someone to fix our site, update and improve our subscription and security issues, build new custom functionality and a searchable customised library page for the site and work long term with us as the site grew.

Later we needed help with integration with another company so Cosmik Carrot sorted our Single user sign-on functionality. He has also provided continuous tech support for our community for any ongoing issues and helped us with hosting.

Excellent and quick communication. They are incredibly reliable — no other developer we have worked with has been able to do this!

I reached out to hire Cosmik Carrot because I knew that my website needed a facelift. Not only to make it look better but perform better as well as rank higher in google. I am located in Boston, MA and there was never a moment where I felt abandoned or that Cosmik Carrot took long with responses, they are super quick, on top of communication considering they are halfway across the globe.. oh and they are very gentle with the reminders. I would highly recommend hiring this company to do your website because lets face it, website design isn't easy. Sure you could spend time doing it yourself but there's a learning curve. I hired them because I wanted to spend my time doing what I love and trusting that they are the EXPERTS so they would do it right the first time. I liked working with them because they are kind and intelligent. I respect their work. I respect their clear expectations. And I enjoyed the entire process that was organized to the point where it put my hidden talent of organization to shame. Ben is my go to guy, he is the guru. If you have the funds, invest in your business... its a tax write off in the USA. Have a professional like Cosmik Carrot create your website, fine-tune your SEO and other tech stuff that you can't do.

Ben is an amazing partner to engage for your website project. He understands not only WordPress very well but also the relevant plugins for my project which included LearnDash, MemberPress and UnCanny. He has a structured milestone based delivery model, so you know exactly how your project is progressing. He created an elegant and logical Sitemap and the design is better than I had imagined. We hit some issues with a plugin bug but Ben worked directly with them to get it fixed. Ben comes highly recommended.

I hired Cosmik Carrot because I had gone as far as I could on my own with my WordPress site and my WooCommerce store needed an overhaul. Working with Ben was such a pleasure. From the start, his attention to detail, from our conversations to follow up questions he asked, it was very clear that the end result was going to be exactly what I wanted. He is well versed in all things WP, WC, Divi and more. I am beyond happy that my site is now working the way I always wanted it to and it's a much better experience for the user! If you're in need of a developer who truly knows their stuff and will give you brilliant suggestions and recommendations, look no further than Cosmik Carrot. I will be turning to them as soon as possible to take over the day-to-day management of my site as well. Highly recommend!

I hired Cosmik Carrot to develop a website, from scratch, for my business. Ben has been an absolute dream to work with. From the very first meeting, he was responsive, receptive and open to new ideas. Communication has been 1st class and Ben always replied promptly. He, in turn, also gave me lots of good ideas and suggestions which I had not thought of. Just as important, the finished product is much better than I could have imagined. I could not have wished for a better website developer. I wholeheartedly recommend Cosmik Carrot! Worth every penny.

I was as happy as can be with Ben's work. My website was a piece of work, but he quickly developed a plan what needs to be done and followed through wit it quickly and professionally. He made my website load much faster, optimized the mobile page, optimized my blog structure and Google my Business listing, fixed my contact form and much more. Google did not like my website before he started working on it and only had 5 pages (out of 200) in its index. Within 2 weeks Ben brought this number up to 198. It is clear that he is very skilled in the technical aspect and has a deep and thorough understanding of website development. He is very pleasant to work with. He responded to every single message I sent him quickly, in detail and very politely (I personally am not thrilled when freelancers write to me as though they're texting a friend - Ben's communication stood out as always professional and refined). In several video meetings we talked in depth about the work I envision. He is clearly interested in fulfilling all the customer's ideas and wishes. He does not push any agenda onto the customer and is definitely working towards fulfilling the goals in a manner that is time and cost effective. I would and will hire him again in the future.
