( WEB DESIGN — LIVERPOOL, UK )
Web Design, built with purpose
Motions is an independent web design studio in Liverpool building websites that are experienced, not just visited. Every site is art-directed from a blank page — no templates, no page builders — then hand-built with modern, fast, accessible code so it feels as good as it looks.
We design for two audiences at once: the people who will fall for your brand, and the search engines that will send them to you. Editorial layouts, considered motion and obsessive typography sit on top of semantic markup, clean Core Web Vitals and structured data — so the craft never costs you the ranking.
From single-page brand sites to full e-commerce builds, we work with startups, scale-ups and established names across Liverpool, the North West and worldwide.
We help with
Art direction
A distinctive visual world for your site — type, colour, imagery and layout direction set before a single component is built.
UX & UI design
User journeys, wireframes and polished interfaces designed around what your visitors actually need to do.
Editorial layouts
Magazine-grade composition and typography that make long pages a pleasure to read and scroll.
Front-end development
Hand-written, performant code — Next.js, semantic HTML and accessible components with zero bloat.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost?
Most Motions builds sit anywhere from £500 for a focused single-page brand site to £15,000+ for larger e-commerce or multi-section builds. Every quote is fixed and itemised after a short discovery call, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
How long does a web design project take?
A typical site takes four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch depending on scope. Because design and development run in parallel, you see real, working pages early rather than static mock-ups.
Will my website be optimised for search engines?
Yes — SEO is built in, not bolted on. Every site ships with semantic markup, structured data, fast Core Web Vitals, an XML sitemap and on-page optimisation for your target keywords as standard.
Do you only work with businesses in Liverpool?
No. The studio is based in Liverpool and loves working locally, but we design and build websites for clients across the UK and worldwide — everything from kick-off to launch runs smoothly over video calls.
