Premium digital solutions for businesses in Stourbridge and the West Midlands.
Stourbridge has always punched above its weight. A town with a genuine identity — known for its glassmaking heritage, a thriving high street that's bucked the national trend, and a business community that mixes long-established firms with newer independents. It's the kind of place where businesses take pride in what they do. Your website should reflect that.
At ZSM Digital, we design websites for businesses across Stourbridge and the surrounding areas. Not generic templates with your logo dropped in. Custom-designed, hand-coded websites that load quickly, look sharp, and work properly — the kind of site that makes a visitor pick up the phone or fill in a contact form rather than clicking back to Google.
Stourbridge businesses don't exist in isolation. You're competing with firms across Dudley, Halesowen, Kidderminster, Wolverhampton, and the wider West Midlands. A lot of that competition happens online before a customer ever picks up the phone. If your website looks outdated, loads slowly, or doesn't work properly on a phone, you're losing potential customers to competitors who've invested in theirs.
We see it regularly in Stourbridge — excellent businesses let down by websites that haven't been updated in years. A well-regarded restaurant on High Street with a site that still shows last year's Christmas menu. A respected tradesman with a DIY site that looks like it was built on a Sunday afternoon in 2012. These businesses deserve better, and their customers expect better.
Stourbridge's business landscape is diverse. The town centre has independent retailers, cafés, and professional service firms. The surrounding areas — Wollaston, Amblecote, Lye, Oldswinford — are home to trades businesses, manufacturers, and service providers serving a wide catchment. Each type of business needs a different approach to web design.
A glass studio in the Stourbridge Glass Quarter needs a visually rich, portfolio-driven website that showcases craftsmanship. A letting agent needs a clean, functional site with property listings and an enquiry system. A personal trainer needs something punchy and mobile-first. We design for the specific context of each business — your audience, your objectives, and the way your customers actually find and evaluate you online.
Every site we build is written from scratch using clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We don't use WordPress themes, Wix, or Squarespace. That means your website loads significantly faster, gives us complete design control, and doesn't carry the vulnerability risks that come with outdated plugins and third-party dependencies. It also means your site looks and feels genuinely unique — because it is.
Speed matters more than most people realise. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, and visitors have zero patience for slow-loading sites. A custom-coded site eliminates the bloat that makes template-based sites sluggish, which directly benefits both your search rankings and your user experience.
We don't treat SEO as a bolt-on. Every website we build includes proper heading structures, optimised meta data, fast load times, mobile responsiveness, clean URLs, and structured content. When someone in Stourbridge searches for your type of business, a well-built website gives you the best possible chance of being found.
We also consider local search intent. People in Stourbridge, Wollaston, and the surrounding areas search differently to someone in Birmingham or London. We structure your site's content around the phrases your actual customers use — not generic national keywords.
While this page focuses on Stourbridge, we work with businesses across the West Midlands. If you're based in Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, Halesowen, Dudley, Wordsley, or anywhere in between, the same standard applies. We'll design a website that your business can be proud of and your customers can actually use.
We start with a conversation about your business, your customers, and your goals. We produce a design concept, refine it based on your feedback, then build and launch the finished site. Most projects take two to six weeks. There are no hidden costs, no long-term contracts, and no vague deliverables. You'll know exactly what you're getting and when.

From independent retailers to trades businesses — here are the types of websites we regularly build for the Stourbridge business community.
Projects typically range from starter brochure sites to full custom platforms, depending on your needs. We tailor every quote to the scope of work — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Request a QuoteCost depends entirely on the scope. A clean brochure site for a sole trader costs less than a feature-rich e-commerce platform or a multi-page business site with integrations. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after understanding your needs — no guesswork, no inflated estimates. Get in touch and we'll give you a clear number.
Yes. We work across the whole Stourbridge area and beyond — including Wollaston, Amblecote, Lye, Oldswinford, Norton, Pedmore, and into Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, and Halesowen. We're West Midlands-based, so these are all well within our patch.
No. We hand-code every website from scratch using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python. This gives us complete control over design, speed, and security — without the plugin bloat and maintenance headaches that come with WordPress. The result is a faster, more secure, more reliable website.
Every site we build is designed mobile-first. We start with the mobile layout and scale up to tablet and desktop. With the majority of web browsing now happening on phones, a mobile-friendly website isn't a nice-to-have — it's essential for both user experience and Google rankings.
Yes. We build online shops with product catalogues, secure payment processing, inventory management, and order tracking. Whether you're selling a handful of artisan products or managing a full catalogue, we'll build a solution that works for your business and your customers.
Most projects are completed in two to six weeks depending on complexity. A straightforward brochure site sits at the shorter end; more complex sites with custom features, e-commerce, or lots of content take longer. We'll agree a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated throughout.
Yes — every site we build includes foundational SEO as standard. That means proper heading structures, meta data, image optimisation, fast load times, and mobile responsiveness. For businesses that want to go further, we offer dedicated SEO services as an ongoing monthly engagement.
Absolutely. Redesigns are a large part of what we do. If your current site is outdated, slow, or underperforming, we'll rebuild it from the ground up with modern design, improved structure, faster performance, and better search visibility. We can usually migrate your existing content as part of the process.
