Web Design Bolton
I’m Sam Heaton, a Bolton-based, award-winning freelance web designer and developer. For over a decade I’ve been creating bespoke websites and online stores that are not only visually striking but built to perform. My work combines clean design with functionality, helping businesses in Bolton and across the North West attract more visitors, generate leads, and convert traffic into customers.
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with local companies, sole traders, and charities, delivering websites that stand out from the competition. Every project I take on is tailored to the client — no templates, no “one size fits all” — just creative, reliable web design that gives your business a real online edge.
Whether you’re looking for a brochure-style website, a fully custom build, an e-commerce website design in Bolton, or professional SEO services to boost your current site, I provide affordable solutions that rival and often outperform traditional agencies. With me, you get a friendly, direct approach and a website designed around your business, your audience, and your goals.
Sam, Your Bolton Web Designer
I’m Sam Heaton – an award-winning web designer, web developer and SEO specialist, based just a stone’s throw from Bolton town centre. I create bespoke websites at affordable rates for businesses and individuals of every size and sector. My work goes beyond design: I also bring expertise in digital marketing, including SEO, PPC, and social media, ensuring that your site not only looks great but actually delivers results.
Every website I design is fully responsive, SEO-friendly and GDPR compliant. That means your online presence won’t just look the part – it’ll perform effectively, helping your business stand out in a competitive Bolton marketplace.
Since 2012, I’ve been designing and developing websites for clients across Bolton and the wider North West. My approach is simple: websites should be both beautiful and functional. When you work with me, you’ll get a site built to impress your customers and outperform your competitors.

What I Can Offer
I’m not your typical freelance web designer or a production-line agency. Working with me means you get a personal, tailored service where your ideas, goals and business take centre stage. Every project starts with a proper chat (usually over a brew) where we talk through your requirements, inspirations and examples. From there, I put together a clear plan to help your business thrive online — whether that’s selling products, promoting services, or building your brand.

Sam and his team have been great, they have created our website just as we wanted it. We couldn't have done it without him! We had regular updates on the progress of each stage, the communication was brilliant and the overall service was first class, highly recommend Sam Heaton. We will definitely be using his services again in the future.

Nothing but good things to say about Sam and Trayana, they made sure I was happy with every aspect of the website and although the content I sent to them wasn't much they made changes and even added better photographs. I feel my website is well ahead of the competition in my market. I will 100% be using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a website. Thank you!
