Web design for Cardiff businesses
Cardiff, the Welsh capital, has about 382,000 residents (ONS mid-2025 estimate) and serves a much wider area of South Wales. Businesses here work under some rules that differ from England, and some customers prefer Welsh. We design websites for Cardiff firms with both in mind. We work remotely and have no Cardiff office.
- Bilingual Welsh and English pages where your customers want them
- Welsh housing and lettings rules reflected correctly
- A fixed, written price before we start
01 / Welsh and English
Should your Cardiff website be bilingual
Most private businesses in Wales are not legally required to publish in Welsh, but many choose to, and some customers notice when they do.
- Public bodies in Wales follow Welsh Language Standards. If you supply councils, health boards or other public organisations, they may expect Welsh-language materials from you (Welsh Language Commissioner).
- For consumer businesses, a Welsh version of key pages, or at least a bilingual welcome and contact page, can be a genuine point of difference.
- If you go bilingual, do it properly: human translation, a clear language switch on every page, and correct language tags so search engines show the right version.
- Some people search with Welsh place names, such as Caerdydd. Using them alongside English names is a small, helpful touch.
02 / Wales-specific rules
Where Welsh law differs from England
Copying an English competitor’s website can leave out details that matter in Wales.
Lettings and property
Landlords and letting agents in Wales must register, and agents need a licence, with Rent Smart Wales (Rent Smart Wales). Since the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, tenants are “contract-holders”. Agents’ sites should use the right terms and display their licence details.
Devolved regulation
Some health, housing and planning rules are set by the Welsh Government. Link to the Welsh guidance, not the English version, when your site explains a process.
Public sector buyers
The Senedd, Welsh Government and many public bodies are based in or near Cardiff. Suppliers benefit from clear capability pages and accessibility.
03 / City areas
Cardiff neighbourhoods and their customers
Each part of the city has its own feel and its own searches.
Cardiff Bay
Offices, attractions and restaurants on the waterfront, with plenty of visitor searches.
Pontcanna and Canton
Independent cafés, delis and boutiques along Cowbridge Road East and Kings Road. See restaurants.
Roath and Cathays
Busy high streets and a large student population around the universities, with demand that follows the academic year.
Llandaff and Whitchurch
Family neighbourhoods with clinics, salons and trades serving established local customers. See dentists.
Beyond the city
Customers in Penarth, the Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly and Newport may search with their own towns, so name the ones you cover.
04 / Event days
Big events at the Principality Stadium
International rugby, football and major concerts bring huge crowds into the city centre.
For hospitality, retail and accommodation businesses, event-day hours, booking options and directions avoiding road closures should be easy to find. A simple notice area you can update yourself before each event is often enough.

Questions
Web design in Cardiff: good to know
Do you have a Cardiff office?
No. Our Cardiff and South Wales clients work with us entirely online, by video call and email, with private preview links for every page.
Do I have to have a Welsh-language website?
Most private businesses do not have to, but public bodies follow Welsh Language Standards and some may expect suppliers to provide Welsh materials. Many consumer businesses choose bilingual key pages anyway.
Can you build a bilingual website?
Yes. We build Welsh and English versions with a clear language switch and the right technical tags. We use translations you commission or supply from a professional translator rather than machine translation.
I am a letting agent in Cardiff. What should my website include?
Use the terms from the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, show your Rent Smart Wales licence details, and link to official Welsh guidance rather than English rules.
How much does a Cardiff business website cost?
Essential single-page websites start from £1,000, Business multi-page websites from £2,500, and Bespoke projects are quoted. The price is agreed in writing before work begins.
