After such a great experience working with The Social Bag previously, I knew they were the team I wanted to work with again for our next project! Working with them on the Northvale Korting website has been such a positive experience from start to finish. The team have been incredibly helpful, professional and supportive throughout the entire process.They really took the time to understand the vision and what we wanted to achieve, bringing everything together into a website we’re so pleased with.Communication has been brilliant throughout, and nothing has ever felt like too much trouble. They’re always happy to answer questions, offer advice and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right.A huge thank you to the team for all their hard work. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Social Bag to anyone looking for a creative, reliable and talented team! More...

Some people simply build websites. Dan and Lily create something much more than that—they create a home for your passion.I came to them with years of artwork, exhibitions, memories and achievements that needed bringing together . It must have seemed like an enormous task, yet within just a few weeks they had transformed everything into the most beautiful, artistic and wonderfully quirky website that feels completely “me.”What impressed me most was how much they genuinely cared. They took the time to understand not only my artwork but the story behind it. Their creativity, patience and dedication shine through on every single page. They have an incredible eye for detail and a real talent for turning ideas into something truly special.As an artist, it’s not easy to find people who understand your vision, but Dan and Lily absolutely did. They didn’t just design a website they captured my journey, my personality and my passion for storytelling through art.I am beyond proud of what they have created and so grateful for everything they have done. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, listens to you, believes in your vision and delivers something exceptional, then I honestly couldn’t recommend Social Bay Web Design more highly.Thank you, Dan and Lily. You’ve given me a website I’m proud to share with the world, and I’ll always be grateful for your kindness, creativity and hard work. More...

We’ve been working with Social Bay for just over four months now, and the results from their SEO work have been outstanding so far. From the very beginning, everything was clear, structured, and transparent. We were onboarded into their Outlign platform, which allows us to see exactly what’s being worked on at any time and makes approving work incredibly straightforward. We’re in the shoe game - not tech, but they’ve made it clear and easy to understand, and made the whole process feel organised and collaborative. They’ve also been very easy to reach any time we did have any questions or clarifications.Since starting SEO, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in website traffic, stronger keyword visibility, and most importantly, a direct uplift in sales. One of the biggest surprises has been how our business is now appearing in AI-driven searches, with customers finding and purchasing from us directly through ChatGPT. We know SEO is a long-term game, but seeing meaningful results this early has been a great indicator of what’s ahead.Alongside the SEO, Social Bay also built our website perfectly in line with our vision. It looks professional, performs well, and converts traffic properly. The feedback from our customers is great - no doubt, the combination of strong design and their SEO strategy is already clearly paying off.If you’re looking for an agency that truly understands SEO, transparency, and real business results (not just rankings), we couldn’t recommend Social Bay highly enough!!

The work put in by Dan, Lily and the team has genuinely helped our business grow. It has given us stability that I thought would take years to achieve. We initially signed up to have a professional build our website -this lead to a definite increase in traffic and enquiries, however the real change came when Dan put together an SEO package and really started driving us up the search rankings.We no longer look to lead gen sites to fill our quiet days.If you're considering taking the leap - do it!!No nonsense approach and good honest people that get real results... That's the social bay. More...

We’ve really enjoyed working with Dan, Lily and the team at The Social Bay. What started as a website build quickly grew into ongoing support that’s made a genuine difference to our business. Their SEO work has been a big part of that. They identified opportunities we hadn’t considered, put a clear SEO strategy in place, and made it really easy for us to track everything being done and how we’re progressing. Since working together, we’ve already started appearing in AI overviews on Chat GPT and Google - on top of the fact that we are now ranking in the top 3 for several (actually important) keywords in our field!The team are friendly, honest and easy to work with. Everything feels clear and well managed, and their project management platform makes it easy to see what’s being worked on and what’s coming next.We’d happily recommend The Social Bay to any business looking for a reliable team that delivers excellent work without overcomplicating things - Bravo!

Your Travel Community Website Build (Travel/Tour Operator)We recently had our website built by Social Bay, and they absolutely nailed what we ever envisioned and more! Dan and Lily built the website from scratch, creating a unique design that perfectly suited our business. They ensured all the features and functions worked seamlessly and kept us updated throughout the entire process.We had enquired with many different web developers, but we felt an instant connection with The Social Bay. They didn’t seem to see this as just another “job” but as a project they were passionate about and shared the same vision. They built in features for us and were always willing to accommodate any requests we had. The price for the website was matched, with the quality we received.If you’re looking for a high-quality website to take your business to the next level, look no further than Social Bay.

I have been working with The Social Bay team now for a couple of months, they are taking care of my website and SEO work, while it is too early to say how this has been impacted, what I can say is that they are incredibly friendly, professional and dedicated to providing an individualised service.

Seamless from first meeting to launch! Dan and Lily were a real treasure and pleasure to work with. Anything that was unclear to me was explained in detail and with much patience! There wasn't any aspect of the whole website build process they didn't know. No change was too much trouble for them. They worked to a fixed schedule and timeline and delivered as promised. I highly recommend The Social Bay (Dan & Lily) for a fuss free, professional experience. As an older individual the task of web design and build was actually quite a daunting prospect for me; but Dan & Lily sailed us through it with no obstacles or bumps. Well done to The Social Bay!

I typically find people leave reviews when things are bad, but I really wanted to shout The Social Bay today. Not sure where to begin.
I first spoke to Dan when I wanted a landing page, along with about 3 or 4 other people, before deciding to do the work myself, boy was that harder than I imagined. Of all the people I initially spoke to, I liked Dan the most. He seemed to know what he was talking about, he was friendly and he was chill. So when I acknowledged I couldn't do it myself, I didn't hesitate to reach out to him, and I'm really glad I did. He was knowledgeable, he was friendly, but moreover, the service was great. He communicated often, explained things that I didn't understand and went above and beyond for me, and not only did he not complain, but he enjoyed doing it. He and Lily have designed a landing page that I'm over the moon about. I love the design and the flow. They listened to what I wanted and even understood what I wanted when I wasn't really sure myself.
Seriously, if you want a page built for you, reach out to The Social Bay, I promise, not.only will you not regret it, but you'll be amazed at the service they provide.
Really well done guys. Thank you so much.

What makes a great website?
A site that's quick, clear and easy to use. Even when people find you on social media, Google Maps or through a recommendation, your website is usually where they decide whether to get in touch. A good one turns more of those visits into enquiries, and it gives Google something to rank as well.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
We'll ask about your business, your customers and the pages you need, then put a price on it. It depends on what your website needs to do: a five-page site for a local service business and an online shop with hundreds of products are very different jobs. Most projects take four to eight weeks from our first call to launch.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping to bring your vision to life, online! We love working with our clients 1-1 from an initial discussion through to completion and beyond. We're in it for the long run, too - we love celebrating our client’s business wins and successes along the way!
What inspired you to start your own business?
We love working with people on a one-to-one level and helping them to realise their business dreams. Being able to meet with such a variety of clients keeps us on our toes, and the excitement of knowing that no two projects are the same is unmatched!
Why should our clients choose you?
A good freelancer can be a great fit for a small job. With a web design agency, you get the design, copywriting, build and SEO from one team, so nobody's waiting on someone else to finish their part. And at Social Bay, you deal with the people doing the work from start to finish. Every website we design includes the copywriting, stock imagery wherever you don't have your own photos, and the SEO foundations Google needs. It's built in WordPress, works on every device and you own it outright.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. We're based in Manchester, at Campfield on Lower Byrom Street, and we work with businesses UK-wide and globally. If you'd like to meet in person to talk about your project, get in touch first and we'll book a time that suits you.
Web Design & Development
We design websites that look sleek and are built to convert. Trusted by 53+ startups, local councils, and global organisations, our sites combine strategic design with seamless functionality. Unlimited revisions, clear communication, and fast turnaround come as standard.
Branding & Logo Design
Your brand is more than a logo, it is the foundation of how people connect with you. We craft bold, professional identities that stand out across every touchpoint. From a fresh startup launch to a complete rebrand for an established business, our branding is designed to inspire trust, consistency, and recognition.
Graphic Design
We create design that works across every format. From product packaging and professional mockups to signage, business cards, and social media templates, our designs are bold, consistent, and tailored to your brand. Whether you need one-off assets or a full suite of visuals, we deliver work that looks sharp and drives impact.
SEO & Digital Marketing
Our SEO strategies are built for measurable results. We focus on increasing rankings, attracting qualified traffic, and generating leads that convert. From technical optimisation and content strategy to link building and digital PR, our work is proven to deliver long-term growth for startups, local government, and enterprise-level brands
