Oldham Web Design
A software and digital marketing studio based in Manchester and Los Angeles, building websites, apps and campaigns for businesses across Oldham.
Web design & development for Oldham businesses
Oldham's business base leans on manufacturing, engineering and trade alongside professional and service firms.
Much of that activity sits in places like Broadway Green Business Park in Chadderton, the business village at Salmon Fields in Royton, and the employment area around Hollinwood by junction 22 of the M60.
That mix is our natural territory. We build and look after websites for businesses like these, and the relationship tends to deepen as their needs do.
One of our favourite recent projects took a Greater Manchester manufacturer's sprawling Excel workbook, the one only a single person in the office truly understood, and turned it into a custom web app the whole team now uses daily. Quoting, job tracking and reporting all live in one place instead of forty tabs. That kind of journey, from fragile spreadsheet to dependable system, is the work we do most and enjoy most. Manufacturers and engineering firms around Oldham are exactly who it suits.
We do all of this from our bases in Manchester and Los Angeles rather than an office in Oldham itself, because distance has never been what makes a website or a system work. After more than 15 years in the technology sector we happily take on the work many web studios pass on, from custom functionality and integrations to automation, while still delivering the fast, polished marketing site you would expect.
Our client base reaches beyond Oldham itself into the surrounding towns and villages, taking in Royton, Chadderton, Saddleworth, Failsworth and Shaw.

The system behind the site
Ask what we actually do for most clients and the answer goes well past the homepage. The visible site sits on top of custom software we build to run the day job: quoting, scheduling, compliance records, and the tracking of jobs and assets that spreadsheets eventually drop.
Manufacturing firms, civil engineers, laboratories, architects and aviation businesses all bring us the same shape of problem. The journey usually begins with a site refresh, settles into ongoing maintenance, and ends with a bespoke system replacing the Excel workbook nobody quite trusts any more.
On the marketing side, WordPress is the usual starting point for a rebuild. Google and Meta (Facebook) ads put the site in front of the right people, AI business automation clears the repetitive work away, and website maintenance, keeping everything fast, secure and current, remains the heart of what we do and the easiest first step.

Frequently asked questions
Do you visit businesses in Oldham?
Our working model is remote-first, so site visits are the exception rather than the rule. What you get instead is a faster rhythm: quick video calls, screen shares of work in progress, and no waiting for a meeting slot to free up before something moves.
What kinds of Oldham businesses do you work with?
Manufacturers and engineering firms make up a lot of it, alongside trades and professional services. Typically they arrive with a quoting or job-tracking process held together in Excel, and we turn that into custom software while keeping their website maintained and current.
