Ladders UK Direct is one of the UK's top online ladder stores. They offer great prices on a wide range of ladders, work platforms and other height access solutions for tradespeople and DIYers alike. And unlike many of the ladders you'll find online, all products sold by Ladders UK Direct come from respected manufacturers whose ladders are tested and certified safe to use.

We first worked with Ladders UK Direct some years ago, building them an ecommerce website that launched in late 2019. Since then, the online landscape has changed significantly – and while we continued to tweak and optimise the site over the years, everything was still built on top of that same ageing foundation.

By the end of 2025, the Ladders UK Direct website was beginning to show its age. It was still functional, still performing well, but weighed down by years of bolted-on extras. The time had come for a more comprehensive update.

So we rebuilt the whole website from the ground up to create a faster, smoother and more modern ecommerce site that's easier for customers to navigate and easier for the Ladders UK Direct team to manage.

We recently launched a brand new website for Print Metal Fabrication! The previous version of this site was launched nearly a decade ago, and very little had changed in the intervening time. The design felt dated, the content no longer reflected the business as it is today, and most importantly, it didn't do justice to the incredible range of work Print Metal Fabrication (formerly Printmet) are capable of producing.

Those who follow Print Metal Fabrication on Facebook or Instagram know they're constantly sharing photos of impressive creations and large-scale projects. But their old website just had a handful of generic service pages with very little detail or visual proof of what they can actually do.

Our goal for this project, then, was to create a modern, image-led website that would properly showcase the PMF team's capabilities and help to bring in more enquiries.

We’ve recently launched a brand new website for KPT Solutions Ltd – a trusted supplier to the construction industry with a huge range of equipment available to buy or hire.

KPT came to Designer Websites looking for a complete overhaul of their online ordering system. Their brief was clear: create a website that feels right for the construction sector while also being sleek, modern and simple to use.

The new platform needed to…

• Make it easy to browse a large sales and hire range on any device
  
  
• Provide customers with robust online accounts for managing orders and hired items
  
  
• Integrate seamlessly with KPT’s existing ERP system

PMG Plc is a privately-owned property development company that's based in London. They've been a client of ours for more than a decade now, starting when we built their website back in 2013.

At the start of this year, the PMG team asked us to come up with a new design for their website in order to keep it looking fresh and relevant. Web design trends are constantly evolving - even the sleekest site will inevitably look dated after a few years have passed - and so we got to work on a new look fit for 2024.
