A Web Design Studio Based in Mid Wales
Pixelhaze grew from rural beginnings in Mid Wales, and our studio remains based on Groe Street in Builth Wells.
There is a difference between a national agency creating a page that happens to mention Mid Wales and working with a web design studio that has spent years designing websites for organisations based here.
We understand the mixture of businesses that make up the region: established family businesses, tourism and hospitality companies, trades, professional services, charities, rural enterprises and organisations serving customers far beyond their immediate location.
Many of those organisations have grown substantially while their websites have remained largely unchanged.
The result is often a business that looks more established offline than it does online.
That is one of the problems we most frequently help solve.
Does Your Website Still Reflect Your Organisation?
A website can stay online for years while gradually becoming less useful.
The business grows. Services change. The team becomes more experienced. Branding develops. Customers expect more. Competitors improve their websites.
But the website stays roughly where it was.
You might recognise some of the signs:
the design now feels dated
the homepage does not clearly explain what you do
important services are difficult to find
the website is awkward on mobile
pages have accumulated without a clear structure
your branding has changed but the website has not
editing the website is unnecessarily difficult
enquiries are not as strong as they should be
the business simply looks better in reality than it does online
Sometimes the answer is a completely new website.
Sometimes it is a carefully planned redesign of what you already have.
Our job is to work out which approach makes sense and create a website that reflects where the organisation is going rather than where it was several years ago.
Website Design Built Around Your Organisation
We do not start with a template and work backwards.
A strong website begins by understanding what the organisation does, who needs to use the website and what those visitors need to find.
That thinking informs everything that follows.
Website Strategy and Structure
Before concentrating on colours, typefaces or imagery, we consider how the website needs to work.
That includes its page structure, navigation, key messages, user journeys and calls to action.
For established organisations in particular, simplifying years of accumulated website content can be just as important as redesigning it.
Responsive Web Design
Your website needs to work properly across desktop computers, tablets and phones.
Layouts are designed around the content and tested across different screen sizes so important information remains clear and usable rather than simply being squeezed onto a smaller screen.
Squarespace Web Design
Squarespace is our main website platform and an area in which Pixelhaze has unusually deep experience.
We are a Squarespace Marketplace Expert, authorised trainer and Platinum Squarespace Circle member.
That experience allows us to go considerably further than choosing a template and replacing the photographs.
We use Squarespace as the foundation for professionally planned, designed and customised websites that are straightforward for clients to manage after launch.
Website Redesign
You do not necessarily need to start again.
If an existing website has a useful foundation, we can assess what should stay, what needs restructuring and what would benefit from being completely redesigned.
A redesign can address outdated visuals, unclear navigation, poor mobile layouts, weak messaging, inconsistent branding and websites that no longer represent the scale or quality of the organisation behind them.
Branding and Visual Identity
Website and brand are closely connected.
Where required, Pixelhaze can develop or refresh the wider visual identity alongside the website so typography, colours, imagery, logos and other materials work together consistently.
SEO Foundations
A good-looking website is not much use if search engines cannot properly understand it.
SEO is considered as part of website structure rather than being bolted on afterwards.
That can include page architecture, headings, internal linking, metadata, content structure, technical fundamentals and identifying opportunities for dedicated service or location pages.
Ongoing Website Support
Launching the website does not have to mean the end of the relationship.
Pixelhaze can continue supporting updates, changes and improvements as the website and organisation develop.
Web Design Experience Across Mid Wales
Our connection to Mid Wales is not a recent SEO exercise.
Pixelhaze has worked with organisations across the region for years, including businesses in Builth Wells, Montgomery and elsewhere across rural Mid Wales.
Here are a few examples from our project archive.
Web Design for Mid Wales Businesses and Organisations
Our experience is not limited to one type of client.
Pixelhaze has designed websites for organisations across a broad range of sectors, including:
tourism and hospitality
holiday accommodation
professional services
construction and trades
technology and telecommunications
healthcare
charities
retail and e-commerce
education and training
rural businesses
growing SMEs
Different sectors require different websites.
A holiday accommodation website needs to make people want to visit.
A professional-services website needs to establish expertise and trust.
A charity needs to communicate its purpose clearly and make information easy to access.
A technology company often needs to explain something complicated without overwhelming the visitor.
The design should follow what the organisation and its customers actually need.
Why Work With Pixelhaze?
There are plenty of people who can build a website.
The difference is the experience behind the decisions being made.
More Than 600 Websites
We have designed and built more than 600 websites.
That means we have encountered a wide range of organisations, content problems, design challenges and technical requirements before.
Experience helps us identify what matters and avoid unnecessary complexity.
Genuine Squarespace Expertise
Squarespace is not simply one platform on a long list of systems we occasionally use.
Pixelhaze has extensive hands-on Squarespace experience and holds Marketplace Expert, authorised trainer and Platinum Circle status.
Direct Communication
Pixelhaze operates as a small specialist team.
You are not passed through layers of account managers before reaching the people responsible for the work.
Web Design, Branding and SEO
Design decisions affect SEO.
Brand decisions affect the website.
Content affects design.
Structure affects conversion.
Keeping those disciplines connected allows us to consider the website as a whole rather than treating each element as an unrelated service.
We Are Actually Here
Pixelhaze is based at 2 Groe Street, Builth Wells, Powys.
For organisations deliberately looking for a Mid Wales web designer, that gives you the combination of regional understanding and established web-design experience without restricting the project to a purely local audience.
Our Web Design Process
Every project is different, but the underlying process remains practical.
1. Discovery
We start by understanding the organisation, the existing website, your customers and what needs to change.
2. Structure and Strategy
We determine what pages are required, how information should be organised and which journeys matter most.
3. Design
We establish the visual direction and turn the website structure into clear, responsive page designs.
4. Build
The approved direction is developed into the working website, with the required functionality and content structure.
5. Content and SEO
We make sure pages communicate clearly to visitors while giving search engines a sensible structure through which to understand the website.
6. Testing
Layouts, links, forms and important user journeys are checked across devices.
7. Launch
Once everything is ready, the website is prepared and launched on the live domain.
8. Support
If you need help after launch, you can continue working directly with Pixelhaze rather than being left to work everything out alone.
Serving Organisations Across Mid Wales
From our base in Builth Wells, Pixelhaze works with organisations throughout Mid Wales.
That includes businesses in and around areas such as:
Builth Wells
Llandrindod Wells
Rhayader
Brecon
Newtown
Llanidloes
Montgomery
Aberystwyth
the wider Powys and Mid Wales region
This section should remain fairly restrained.
As dedicated location pages are introduced for places such as Builth Wells, Brecon, Aberystwyth and Newtown, they can be linked naturally from here without turning this page into a collection of near-duplicate local keywords.
More Than Just a New-Look Website
The goal is not to make your existing website prettier.
The goal is to create a website that does a better job for the organisation behind it.
That might mean making your services easier to understand.
It could mean reorganising years of accumulated content.
It may mean finally creating a brand and website that look like they belong to the same company.
It could mean creating dedicated pages for important search terms so potential customers can actually find you.
Or it may simply mean replacing a website that everybody in the organisation knows is overdue for attention.
Whatever the starting point, we focus on getting the underlying structure and message right before worrying about decorative detail.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Design in Mid Wales
Are Pixelhaze actually based in Mid Wales?
Yes. Pixelhaze is based at 2 Groe Street in Builth Wells, Powys. The studio has its roots in Mid Wales and has worked with businesses and organisations throughout the region for many years.
What parts of Mid Wales do you work in?
We work with organisations throughout the region, including Builth Wells, Llandrindod Wells, Rhayader, Brecon, Newtown, Llanidloes, Montgomery, Aberystwyth and the wider Mid Wales area. We also work with clients elsewhere in Wales and across the UK.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes. A large part of our work involves organisations whose current website no longer reflects their business. We can review the existing site, retain anything that still works and redesign or restructure the areas that need improvement.
Do you specialise in Squarespace?
Yes. Squarespace is our main web-design platform. Pixelhaze is a Squarespace Marketplace Expert, authorised trainer and Platinum Squarespace Circle member, with extensive experience designing and customising Squarespace websites.
Can you help with SEO as part of a new website?
Yes. Search visibility should influence the structure of a website from the beginning rather than being considered only after launch. We can help with site architecture, page structure, metadata, internal linking, content planning and other SEO foundations as part of the project.
Can Pixelhaze help with branding as well as the website?
Yes. Pixelhaze provides branding alongside web design where required. This is particularly useful when an organisation has outgrown both its existing visual identity and its website and wants the two to be developed together.
How much does a website cost?
The cost depends on the size of the website, the amount of design and content work required, any branding requirements and the complexity of the project. The best starting point is a short conversation about what you already have and what you need the new website to achieve.
What happens once the website is launched?
Pixelhaze can continue supporting the website after launch. If something needs changing or updating, you can contact the team directly rather than having to find another developer every time the website evolves.
