Sustainable web design isn’t just about looking good online
How QED can help your business
Sustainable Website Design
WordPress websites designed for small businesses to succeed online
Fast, accessible, mobile-friendly WordPress sites with a smaller carbon footprint. Whether you are starting from scratch or replacing an outdated site, we build something that works as hard as you do.
SEO Content
SEO ContentGetting a website is one thing. Getting found is another, whether it’s AI or customers.
We write blog posts, landing pages and on-page content around the terms your customers actually search. Structured for Google and AI search, written for humans.
Email Hosting
Email HostingProfessional email on your own domain, managed alongside your website.
Reliable, secure and set up properly from day one. No more @gmail.com or @outlook.com on your business cards, just clean email that matches your brand and signals you mean business.
WordPress Care Plans
WordPress Care PlansKeep your WP website running the same way we finished building it for you.
Updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks and priority support. Think of it as an MOT and breakdown cover for your website.
Who we work with
We build websites for small businesses across the UK, and we have a soft spot for hospitality. That is not a marketing line. Before QED, I spent 27 years in kitchens, including Michelin-starred ones, and later ran a recruitment company placing chefs.
So when a café, restaurant, pub or food business talks about the pressures of a service, the margins, or why the phone needs to ring on a wet Tuesday in February, we already speak the language.
If you are a small business that wants a fast, sustainable website built by someone who has actually stood on the other side of the pass, that is exactly who we are for.

How can I design my own website?
You can design your own website, but why would you want to if you want to achieve results?
There’s a lot more to it than making a pretty looking website, then there’s the hidden costs from the likes of Wix & Shopify.
We use previous user data, well-established design principles, psychology, and other things to create a user journey.
Unless you have experience in web design, then it’s going to be hard to implement all those factors yourself.
We’ll build you a high performing website, whilst you do what you do best – run your business.
How much does it cost to design a website?
We believe in being transparent about costs, but still believe in exceeding expectations.
Our One Plan costs £85 per month, and is a subscription based model.
However, a more bespoke multi page website is a little more costly due to time constraints and technical requirements. Starting prices are £1800 for a bespoke website; hosting, domain, email, content & images are all extra costs.
Can you give some examples of sustainable website design?
Sure – You’re looking at one right now.
This page is rated in the top 5% globally for its carbon rating according to WebsiteCarbon.com – for every page visit by a user, the QED website generates 0.05g of CO².
