Web Design and SEO for Businesses in Wales
We design websites and run local SEO for Welsh service businesses in Cardiff and across Wales. We build English-only or bilingual English and Welsh sites with correct language tags, reflect Welsh rules such as Land Transaction Tax and Rent Smart Wales, and plan around Cardiff's matchday and government-driven demand.
Wales shares a legal jurisdiction with England, which is why most Welsh companies are registered in England and Wales. But Wales has its own devolved government, its own rules for renting homes and property tax, and a living language spoken daily in homes and businesses across the country. A website that treats Wales as simply the western edge of England misses things Welsh customers notice.
We build Welsh websites that get those details right. For some businesses that means a bilingual site; for others it means English copy that uses Welsh terminology correctly and shows the business understands where it operates. Here is how we approach Cardiff and the wider Welsh market.
We are an India-based team with 15+ years of experience and more than 1,500 websites delivered. We write in British English, work with your Welsh translator where you want bilingual content, and schedule calls during your morning.

Cardiff: capital city, matchdays and government
Cardiff's Principality Stadium sits in the middle of the city, and international rugby and major events turn matchdays into city-wide surges in demand for transport, hospitality and accommodation. Chauffeur, taxi, restaurant and hotel websites in Cardiff should be built around the fixture calendar, with pages and offers ready well before the date and booking that works on a phone in a crowd.
As the seat of the Welsh Government and the Senedd, Cardiff also generates steady public-sector and professional-services work. Law firms, consultancies and financial advisers serving that market compete on credibility, so clear credentials and well-structured service pages matter more than flashy design. Many Cardiff businesses also serve Newport, Penarth, Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan, and location pages should reflect the areas you genuinely cover.
Bilingual English and Welsh websites
The Welsh Language Standards place legal duties on public bodies and certain other organisations, but most private businesses are not required to publish in Welsh. Many choose to anyway, because Welsh-speaking customers notice and value it, particularly in north and west Wales where Welsh is widely spoken.
If you want a bilingual site, we build it properly: separate language versions with clear switching on every page, correct hreflang and language tags so search engines show the right version, translated page titles and URLs, and forms that work in both languages. We do not machine-translate; we work with your translator or a professional Welsh translation service, and we make sure the Welsh version is not a half-finished afterthought.
Welsh rules your website should reflect
Devolution means a number of property and business rules in Wales differ from England. Getting these right on your website shows customers you know the Welsh market.
Renting Homes (Wales) Act
Tenancies in Wales are now occupation contracts, and landlords and agents must be registered or licensed with Rent Smart Wales. Letting agent websites should use the Welsh terminology and show their licence.
Land Transaction Tax
Property purchases in Wales pay Land Transaction Tax rather than stamp duty, so estate agent and conveyancing content should say so.
Company names and details
A private company with its registered office in Wales may use “Cyfyngedig” or “Cyf” in place of “Limited”, and the website should show the registered name, number and office like any UK company.
Cities We Serve in Wales
Every city page lists all the industries we build websites and run SEO for there.
Does my business website need to be in Welsh?
Most private businesses in Wales are not legally required to have a Welsh-language website; the Welsh Language Standards apply mainly to public bodies and certain regulated organisations. Many businesses still offer Welsh content because customers value it, especially in Welsh-speaking areas. Check whether any standards apply to your organisation before deciding.
How do bilingual websites affect SEO in Wales?
A properly built bilingual site can help SEO in Wales, because Welsh-language searches face less competition and each version can rank for its own language. The site needs separate URLs for each language, correct hreflang tags, translated titles and descriptions, and full translations rather than partial pages mixed with English.
Can you do local SEO for businesses outside Cardiff?
Yes. We work with businesses across Wales, including Swansea, Newport, Wrexham and rural areas where customers travel further for services. Local SEO outside the capital usually centres on a well-configured Google Business Profile, clear service-area pages for the towns you cover, consistent directory listings and genuine reviews.
