What We Build

end user

Designed for Your Users

We design around how people actually behave, not how we’d like them to. Clear navigation, obvious next steps, and a site that makes sense on a phone at eight in the morning as well as a desktop at two in the afternoon.

Built to Perform

Speed, accessibility, and SEO foundations are non-negotiable. Your site will load fast, rank well, and work on every device your customers use.

Powered by AI

As search shifts to AI assistants and answer engines, we make sure your business gets found and recommended, not just indexed. We use AI in how we build too, which is why a small senior team can deliver at the pace of a much larger one.

Our Process

1

Discovery & Kick-off

We get under the skin of your business, your customers, and what you actually need the site to do. Usually a couple of hours, and it's the session that shapes everything after it.
2

Discovery Document

Everything from kick-off written down and agreed: goals, audiences, requirements, and what success looks like. You sign this off before anything else starts.
3

Sitemap & Structure

We map every page and how they connect. Get this right and the site is easy to navigate, easy to grow, and easy for search engines and AI to understand.
4

Wireframes & UX

Low-fidelity layouts that settle structure and user journeys before anyone worries about colour. Cheaper to change a wireframe than a finished design.
5

Design

Full visual design of your homepage and every template, built in your brand and reviewed with you until it's right.
6

Build

Your designs become a fast, responsive WordPress site with a content editor your team can actually use. Custom functionality is built and specced here too.
7

Testing & Launch

Cross-browser and cross-device testing, speed and accessibility checks, redirects mapped, then launch. We stay close for the first few weeks afterwards.
8

Website Launch

We take the site live, monitor it closely for the first few days, and make sure everything that was working in staging is still working in the wild. Your team gets a walkthrough of the CMS so you can update the site yourself from day one.

“I can’t sing the bristol web design team highly enough. From start to finish, they have demonstrated sound knowledge and expertise of not only the technical aspects of launching a new website, but also in terms of brand consistency. To add to the challenges, the project has been successfully delivered entirely remotely throughout the COVID-19 lockdown period.”

We recently had the pleasure of working with Grizzly to design and build our new website, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the outset, they were efficient, flexible, and incredibly understanding of our needs. The scale of the task was significant, but Grizzly handled it with expertise and professionalism, delivering a beautiful, functional website that exceeded our expectations.

Grizzly are totally focused on problem solving and achieving the brief, I couldn’t have launched my business without their patient guidance and support. Nothing was too much to ask and response time was very quick to any query or request: we are retaining them for all ongoing support and launching the next phases of business.

Grizzly have been extremely helpful and responsive. The team designed one of our websites from scratch and have also been helping us with changes and updates to our other websites.

Fantastic to work with Jamie and the team on our new website build for LRB. As we come into our years of growth, a new website was imperative. Jamie and the team attached this with fleixibility and a fresh new take and I would recommend anyone to Grizzly.

Grizzly immediately got a sense of what our business was about and that really came through in the design of our website giving us not only the look and feel we wanted but also the voice we wanted customers to hear. I would certainly recommend Grizzly and will personally use them again for future ventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress, in almost every case.

It gives you full ownership of your site and your content, an editor your team can learn in an afternoon, and no monthly platform fees or lock-in. It also handles everything from a five-page brochure site to a large multi-language build, which means we’re not pushing you onto a platform that will limit you in two years.

For ecommerce we use WooCommerce. If a project genuinely suits something else, we’ll say so rather than fitting it to what we prefer.

Yes. Most of our clients stay with us after launch on a hosting and support package.

That covers secure UK hosting, WordPress core and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, security patching, and an allowance of change requests each month. When something breaks, you have someone to call who already knows your site.

You’re not required to take it. You own the website outright either way, and we’ll hand over everything you need if you’d rather manage it yourself.

Yes, and it’s built into how we design and build rather than added afterwards.

Beyond launch, we run SEO retainers and AEO retainers. AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation, the work of getting your business cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews and Perplexity, which is where a growing share of research now happens.

We rank first on Google for web design in Bristol, and we got there doing the same work we do for clients.

Yes. We’re a Bristol agency and a lot of our clients are local, but we work with businesses across the UK and internationally.

Projects run remotely as standard, with video calls at each stage and in-person meetings when they help. Clients have included the University of Bristol, Bournemouth University, GL Events and Homepride Baking.

Two things. We build websites to be found by AI search as well as Google, and we run our own agency on AI systems we built ourselves.

Most agencies still optimise only for traditional search. More people now put their questions to ChatGPT or Perplexity instead, and being visible there takes different work: clear entity signals, structured data, and content written so an AI can lift and cite it. We build that in as standard.

Behind the scenes, AI agents we built handle research, auditing, drafting and reporting under human review. It’s why a small senior team can work at the pace of a much larger one, and why the person who scopes your project is the person who delivers it.
