Essel Web Design is a one-stop shop for people with great ideas and no time to wrestle a website. We plan it, design it, build it, get it found on Google, and show you exactly who's showing up.

What we do

Everything your site needs, under one roof.

No hand-offs between five vendors. One team that knows your business, your site, and how the two work together.

Website Development

Custom WordPress sites taken from concept to launch, built so you can update them yourself.

E-Commerce

Online stores with WooCommerce: carts, payments, pickup and delivery, all on your own domain.

SEO

If a site launches and nobody finds it, did it launch? SEO is built into every site from day one.

Google Analytics

Know who’s visiting, where they came from and what they did, explained in plain English.

Redesigns

Outgrown your site, or never had a real one? We’ll rebuild it around how your customers buy today.

Have an idea?

Let's talk it through. No pressure, no jargon.

About

Hello, I'm Ekow Essel.

Essel Web Design was founded by Ekow Essel to be a one-stop shop for entrepreneurs who have the great ideas but not the know-how to build a website. Every site we build is a reflection of your business, and of ours, so we go the extra mile to make sure it’s professional, personal and built to last.
