Websites for Preston businesses
As well as being the county's administrative centre, Preston is a short drive from two of Lancashire's largest engineering sites. BAE Systems works on military aircraft at Warton and Samlesbury, and Westinghouse produces nuclear fuel at Springfields, west of the city. Their supply chains include hundreds of precision engineering, composites and technical firms, which need websites that show capability without giving away anything sensitive. We plan content and photography carefully, so you can show machines, processes and approvals without controlled parts or drawings appearing anywhere.
The county council's headquarters is in the city, and the "Preston model" of community wealth building pushes large local institutions to buy from local suppliers. Small businesses bidding for that work often find their website is checked as part of procurement. An accessible site built to WCAG 2.2 AA, with clear privacy information and case studies, helps.
- Aerospace and nuclear suppliers: capability, quality and sector pages
- Public sector contractors: accessible sites with case studies and policies
- Accountants, solicitors and advisers: trust-led brochure sites
- Student-focused bars and shops near UCLan: menus, events and offers
- Logistics firms on the M6, M55 and M61: service and coverage pages
- Care providers: clear, reassuring sites for families
With UCLan's main campus in the centre, student-facing businesses need sites that work perfectly on a phone and are easy to update each term.
Local search in Preston is moderately competitive. Professional services compete with firms from across Lancashire, so service pages naming the towns you cover, such as Chorley, Leyland and the Fylde, help you reach the right clients.

Frequently asked questions
Can you build a website for a Preston defence or aerospace supplier?
Yes. We build capability-led sites that list processes, materials, approvals and sectors served, and we agree in advance what can be shown so nothing sensitive is published. Most fit our Business package from £500 + VAT, which includes copywriting.
Do you cover Chorley, Leyland and the Fylde?
Yes. We build websites for businesses across Central Lancashire, including Chorley, Leyland, Longridge, Garstang and the Fylde coast. We work remotely, so there is no extra charge for location. If you serve several towns, each can have its own page.
Will a better website help us win public sector contracts in Preston?
It will not win a tender on its own, but buyers do check suppliers online. An accessible site with clear services, case studies, policies and contact details supports your bid and shows you are an established business.
