Welcome to Frontup Design.  We specialise in complete website solutions for small to medium size businesses.  Our ethos is to not only work with you and design a website that will aid your businesses growth but also manage and maintain the website so that you can focus on driving the business forward.  We have been designing websites for the last 13 years and have helped many small businesses in that time.  Our passion and creativity drives us to deliver the best website we can for your business.

Our aim is to take away that responsibility without it eating up precious cash-flow. Our simple pricing makes the design of your website very affordable with a monthly hosting fee that covers the updating and maintenance of your website for just a little more than what you would normally pay for hosting.  Of course we give you access to update the site yourselves and this can be via a simple editor or  if your competent developer tools!


The design fee includes any type of website with exception to eCommerce although we can add in a small shop for up to 10 products included in the price.  The maintenance and hosting cost allows you to send us updates for your website which we will complete within 24-48 hours.  Let us concentrate on the website whilst you concentrate on running your business.

My website has just been re branded and relaunched by Frontup Design and and I am absolutely over the moon with everything . I left the design to them as they already had some great ideas for my business and the website is faultless.

I have worked with Simon on a number of websites and design projects in recent years. His work is very professional and he also helps to explain the processes involved whilst also communicating regularly on progress or challenges along the way. Can highly recommend.

Frontup design has been absolutely amazing in helping me with a couple of web sites (shortly due to go live). Simon was able to understand the concept for both and was rear at helping with ideas and design. Frontup is also now helping me with social media campaigns. I can’t thank Frontup design enough.
