// 01 / THE WORK
Sites with a point of view
Most small-business websites are page-builder sludge: slow, samey and a pain to change. We do the opposite. Every HIYA site is designed from a blank canvas around your business, then built by hand.
That means a site that loads fast, reads clearly, guides people to enquire and still looks sharp years later. The two people whose names are on the door work on it personally, start to finish.
A lot of our work is for trades and industrial businesses: construction contractors, ground engineering firms and the UK's leading workwear supplier. The rest spans clinics, restaurants, golf clubs and ecommerce brands across the UK.

// FAQ [06]
// 01Who can design and build a website for my small business in the UK?
HIYA is a two-founder design agency based in Walsall in the West Midlands, designing and building websites for small and mid-sized businesses across the UK. Every site is designed from a blank canvas and built by hand, by the same two people you deal with. HIYA is rated 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
// 02Do you build websites for trades and industrial businesses?
Yes, trades and industrial companies are a specialism. We built the brand and website for ACJ Retaining Solutions, a ground engineering firm, and the website for SOLJET, a Midlands construction contractor. We are also the ongoing design partner for Workwear Express, the UK's leading workwear supplier.
// 03How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the site needs to do. A focused brochure site costs far less than a full ecommerce build, so we scope the project first and quote a fixed price. No day rates, no hourly billing, no surprises.
// 04How long does a website take?
Most HIYA sites launch within a few weeks of the brief being agreed. The founders do the work themselves, so nothing sits in a queue, and clients regularly mention speed in their reviews.
// 05Do you only work with businesses in the West Midlands?
No. HIYA is based near Birmingham and works with clients right across the UK. Most projects run remotely, with calls at the key stages.
// 06Who looks after the site after launch?
We can. Optional monthly care plans cover hosting, security, updates and small content changes, so the site stays fast and current without you having to think about it.
