Who is Foresite Design? Fixed-price site upgrades from Redditch
Foresite Design is a web and digital agency in Redditch, Worcestershire, serving the Midlands and the wider UK. Its trade offer is built around speed: fast-loading sites, published performance scores and three fixed-price packages. This profile explains what each pack buys you and where Foresite fits against the other firms we cover.
The pitch in one line
Sites built for trades to drive calls and enquiries, with a lot of emphasis on how quickly the page loads and what score it gets on performance tests. If you have ever waited for a competitor's site to load on 4G in a van and given up, you will understand why they lead with that.
Background
Foresite Design is based in Redditch, south of Birmingham, and describes its patch as the Midlands and UK. No founder is named in the public material we have and no founding year is given, so we leave both out rather than guess.
It is not trades-only. The services list includes eCommerce, graphic design and branding, which tells you this is a general web agency with a trades specialism rather than a firm that only does roofers. That is neither good nor bad, but it is different from an outfit like Websites for Tradespeople, which does nothing else.
Services
The SiteConcierge tool is the one that stands out. It sits on your website and asks visitors the questions you would ask on the phone, so that by the time an enquiry reaches you it already says what the job is and roughly where it is. For anyone who loses half their enquiries to time-wasters, the idea has obvious appeal. Ask to see it working on a live client site before you pay for it.

The three packs and what they are for
The structure is sensible. Not every trade needs a new site; plenty just need the one they have to stop leaking enquiries, which is what the £449 pack is aimed at. The £699 landing page makes most sense if you are already running Google Ads and sending clicks to a slow homepage.
The Full Refresh is a 'from' price, so the final figure depends on page count and features. Get it in writing.
| Pack | Published price | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry Boost | £449 | Fixing an existing site so it produces more calls |
| Quote Landing Page | £699 | A single page built to turn ad or search traffic into quote requests |
| Full Refresh | From £1,750 | A complete rebuild of the site |
Trades they name
Roofers, plumbers, electricians, painters and decorators, landscapers, cleaning companies and pressure washing firms. There is an examples page but no trade-specific case studies with figures, so you will be judging them on the quality and speed of the sites themselves rather than on published results.
That is worth doing properly. Open two or three of their example sites on your phone, on mobile data not Wi-Fi, and time them. If the speed pitch is real you will feel it.
Who it suits
A Midlands tradesperson with an existing site that is slow or tired, who wants a fixed-price fix rather than a long agency relationship. Also anyone already paying for Google Ads who suspects the website is wasting the clicks. Before buying any pack, work through the free jobs in what to do before paying an agency so the new site has reviews and photos to show.
Less of a fit if you want a managed lead-generation service with ads, follow-up and reporting all handled. Foresite does offer digital marketing, but the published trade products are site builds. The firms in our best value trade website builders comparison give you the wider field to judge the packs against.
Before you commit
- Test their example sites on mobile data and time the load
- Ask for a written scope of exactly what Enquiry Boost changes on your site
- Ask whether hosting is required with them or whether you can host elsewhere
- Ask for a demo of SiteConcierge on a live site, and what it costs on its own
- Confirm you own the site, the domain and the content once paid
