Web design, Essex and Suffolk
Websites that start conversations.
We design and build websites for Essex and Suffolk businesses and charities. Clear, quick, easy to update, and built to turn visitors into enquiries.
New websites
From a sharp one-page site to a full build with case studies, blogs and booking. Designed around what your visitors need to do.
Redesigns
For sites that look dated, load slowly or never bring in enquiries. We keep what works and rebuild the rest.
Campaign and landing pages
Focused pages for a launch, an event or a fundraising push, with clear calls to action and things like live counters and sign-ups.
Ongoing support
Updates, new pages and fresh content when you need it, from the same two people who built the site.
Why Mammoth
A website should be the hardest-working member of your team. For a lot of businesses it’s more like a brochure nobody reads. We design and build sites that are clear, quick and built to get people in touch.
We’re a two-person studio in Manningtree, on the Essex and Suffolk border. You work directly with us, Stew and Chris, from the first chat to launch day and beyond.
Websites that do a job
Our favourite websites are the ones that do something. For Stepping Out with Carers, we built a site with a live step counter and walk stories that helped The Big Step Out hit more than 20 million steps. For Stephen James Partnership, a London legal recruiter, we’ve looked after the website and campaigns for six years. For Pyramid SD, we built a site that explains scaffold design in plain English.
What you get
- A site designed around your customers and what you need them to do, whether that’s call, book, buy or enquire.
- Fast, mobile-first pages that work properly on phones (where most of your visitors will be).
- The SEO basics done right, including page titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemaps and redirects from your old site.
- Simple editing, so you can update text and images yourself.
- Clear, honest copy, written or edited by us if you’d like.
Brand first, then the website
If your brand needs some attention too, it’s worth doing both together. A website is often the first place people meet your brand, and it’s much easier to get it right when the two are designed side by side. See our branding page for more.
How it works
- A chat about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do.
- A fixed price and a clear timeline, agreed before we start.
- Structure and content. We plan the pages and the words before designing anything.
- Design and build. You see real pages early and give feedback as we go.
- Launch and support. We handle the go-live, the redirects and any tweaks afterwards.

Good questions
How much does a website cost?
Every website gets a fixed price before we start. A simple one-page site costs much less than a full build with lots of pages and features. Tell us what you need and your budget, and we'll be honest about the best option. We're flexible about how you pay.
How long does a website take?
Most websites take four to eight weeks, depending on the number of pages and how ready the content is. We'll give you a clear timeline in the proposal.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. We build sites you can edit without touching any code, and we'll show you how. If you'd rather we looked after updates, we can do that too.
Will my website work well on Google?
We build every site with the basics done properly: fast pages, clear headings, page titles and descriptions, structured data and a sitemap. We'll also redirect your old pages so you don't lose any rankings when the new site goes live.
Do you write the words too?
We can. Good websites start with clear messaging, and we're happy to write or edit your copy so it sounds like you and helps people find what they need.
