Aberystwyth web design for a town with a big catchment
Aberystwyth is the main town in mid Wales, home to Aberystwyth University and the National Library of Wales, with a seafront that runs from the harbour to Constitution Hill. It also serves a huge rural area, so plenty of local businesses rely on customers travelling in from all over Ceredigion.
That's why clear web design matters here. People want to know before they set off whether you have what they need, when you're open and how to reach you. We design sites that answer those questions straight away.
We're based in Cardiff and work with Aberystwyth businesses by phone, email and video call. Distance makes no difference to how quickly your site goes live.
Aberystwyth and Ceredigion businesses we design for
Independent retailers
Town centre shops that want customers from across Ceredigion to know what's in stock.
Tourism and hospitality
Guest houses, cafés and attractions serving visitors to the seafront and the Vale of Rheidol.
Student-facing services
Letting agents, takeaways and services that need to reach students at the start of every term.
Rural businesses
Farm suppliers, contractors and makers across Ceredigion.
The web design stories we hear most
Most people who contact us have been let down before, or know someone who has. These are the four complaints that come up again and again, and what we do differently.
“The price kept growing”
A cheap starting price turned into thousands once hosting, changes and extras were added. Our monthly price includes hosting, SSL, security and support, and the only listed add-on is £50 per extra Starter page.
“Nobody answered my emails”
You chase and chase and get nothing back. With us you deal with Robert and a small team, not a call centre or a chatbot, and we reply within one working day.
“It took months to go live”
A site promised in a few weeks dragged on for a whole season. Most of our small business websites go live within 7 to 14 days of you sending your content.
“They vanished after launch”
Once the final invoice was paid, help dried up. Our plans include monthly update time, so you email your changes and we make them, usually the same day.

I'm Robert, the person behind Forte Web Solutions. After earning a degree in Applied Geography, I spent my early career in GIS roles for Welsh Water and Cardiff Council, then moved into digital marketing at the University of Glamorgan.
In 2012 I co-founded Forte Web Solutions with one goal: help small businesses get more leads and keep them. From trades to therapists, I kept hearing the same thing: “We just want a website that works, and doesn't cost the earth.”
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about web design in Aberystwyth.
Can my Aberystwyth website be in Welsh and English?+
Yes. We can build a bilingual site so visitors choose their language. You provide or approve the Welsh text, and each language version counts towards your page allowance.
How much does web design cost in Aberystwyth?+
With us there's no large design invoice. Websites start at £74 a month on our Starter plan, with Professional at £249 and Business at £649. Domain, hosting, SSL, security and support are included in all three, so there are no surprise extras later.
How long will my website take?+
Most small business websites go live within 7 to 14 days of you sending us your content. The thing that usually slows it down is waiting for text, photos or logins, so the quicker those arrive, the quicker you're live.
Do I own my website?+
Yes. If you ever stop paying and leave, we hand over your website files so you can host them elsewhere, and we transfer your domain name to you. Everything goes with you.
Is there a minimum contract?+
No. It's a rolling monthly contract with no fixed term, so you can leave whenever you like and there's no exit fee. We'd rather keep you because the website works for you, not because of the small print.
Do you work with businesses elsewhere in Ceredigion?+
Yes. As well as Aberystwyth, we work with businesses in Aberaeron, Cardigan, Lampeter, Borth and across mid Wales.
Will I be able to get hold of you?+
Yes. Robert and the small Forte team handle everything ourselves, with no offshore call centres and no chatbots. Call 029 2167 1825 or send a form and we'll reply within one working day.
