Web Design in Birmingham: Custom Websites Built to Perform
We design and build custom-coded websites for businesses in Birmingham, the West Midlands and across the UK. No templates, no page builders, no plugin roulette. Just a fast, clean website that looks sharp on every device and turns visitors into enquiries. Websites start from £2,000, and you own every line of code.
Web design company in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter
Curious House is a web design studio on Hockley Hill in the Jewellery Quarter. We design and build custom-coded websites for startups, trades, professional services and growing brands across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the wider UK.
If you searched for a jewellery quarter web design company, you are in the right place: we are local, you work directly with the people building your site, and every project is coded for speed, accessibility and search — not assembled from a theme marketplace.
Custom websites, not template soup
We use Next.js and React so your site stays fast as you grow. No page-builder bloat, no plugin roulette, no mystery updates breaking checkout on a Friday night.
Design is signed off in Figma before development. You see real layouts on mobile and desktop, then we build exactly what you approved. Need a stronger visual identity first? Our branding service and web builds are often planned together.
SEO and performance from day one
Every build includes metadata, structured data, clean URLs, an XML sitemap and sensible redirects when you migrate from an old site. We aim for strong Core Web Vitals because technical SEO on a slow site is uphill work.
For ongoing growth, our SEO service in Birmingham covers local search, content and technical fixes. For budget planning, read how much a website costs in the UK.
Who we build for
Businesses launching a first site, teams outgrowing WordPress or Wix, and brands that need booking, e-commerce or integrations without compromising performance.
See Auri Wellness for a holistic practice site with booking, or Light House Financial for a brand-led financial services build.

Core Features
Why Curious House
We build it properly
Clean, custom code built for your business and nobody else's. No templates, no shortcuts, no twenty plugins held together with tape. Your site loads fast, stays secure and does exactly what you need.
We keep you in the loop
No disappearing for six weeks. You get a shared workspace, regular updates and a direct line to the people designing and building your site. If you'd rather talk face to face, our studio is on Hockley Hill in the Jewellery Quarter.
You own everything
Source code, Figma files, assets, the lot. No lock-in and no licence fees. If you ever want to take the site elsewhere, you can.
How It Works
Discovery
We learn how your business makes money, who your customers are and what your current site gets wrong. We ask the awkward questions early so the build doesn't go sideways later.
Design
Wireframes first, then full visual designs for desktop and mobile. You sign off the look and feel before a single line of code is written.
Build
Custom-coded, tested across devices and browsers, and built to the spec we agreed. You'll see progress on a staging link throughout.
Launch
We handle the domain, hosting, redirects from your old site and final QA, then hand everything over. We stick around afterwards for support, updates or growth work if you want us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a website project take?
Most websites take 2 to 4 weeks from kick-off to launch. Larger builds take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start, not an optimistic one.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. We'll audit what you have, keep what works and migrate your content and URLs properly so you don't lose rankings.
Will my website be SEO-friendly?
Yes. Every build includes technical SEO foundations: fast load times, clean URLs, metadata, schema markup and an XML sitemap.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We set up a content management system so you can edit text, images and blog posts without touching code.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. Maintenance, updates and growth retainers are available. Some clients want us every month; others just want to know we're there if something breaks.
Do I own the code and design files?
100%. Source code, Figma files and assets are yours on delivery. No lock-in, no licensing fees.
Are you a web design company in the Jewellery Quarter?
Yes. Our studio is at 46 Hockley Hill, Birmingham B18 5AQ. You can visit for a coffee, or we can run the project remotely if that suits you better.
