Websites for print companies
Web design for print companies: services and artwork guidelines
PrimeStart designs a business-to-business website around your print company, then hosts it, updates it and looks after it for you. Built to show a business what matters — your services, your artwork guidelines, and a fast way to start a job — from £79.99 a month with £0 upfront design fee.
Example enquiry — not a real customer
Example design — fictional business
Why a website
A business checks your services and artwork requirements, not a features list.
A business comparing printers is usually checking what you produce, how to prepare artwork correctly and your genuine turnaround, and a site that shows this plainly wins the enquiry against one built entirely from generic press-room stock photography.
They check your services
Digital and litho printing, large format, stationery, brochures and packaging, told apart clearly, is the first thing a business comparing printers looks for.
They check your artwork guidelines
File formats, bleed and proofing requirements, stated plainly, save both sides a delay once a job is booked.
They check your genuine turnaround
Honest turnaround times, never overpromised, reassure a business working to a deadline.
They want a fast way to start a job
A form that captures job details efficiently, so the next step is a reply rather than an unanswered message.
Getting found
A business usually searches before shortlisting a printer.
"print company Sheffield", "business card printing near me", "large format printing" — searches a business makes once it's comparing printers. Website + SEO is the ongoing work of being visible when they do.
- Local searches, agreed with you. We pick the three searches that matter most to your business — say, "print company Sheffield", "business stationery printing" and "large format printing" — and work on them every month.
- Google Business Profile. Set up and kept current, so you appear on the map with your services and a way to reach you.
- Reviews handled carefully. A simple way to gather genuine reviews from customers you've served, shown as written and never used to imply a result we can't confirm.
- Content that answers real questions. How to prepare artwork correctly, what a typical order costs to estimate, and how you handle proofing, written accurately for a business comparing printers.
- A monthly report you can read. What moved and what we're doing about it — in your Client Platform, without the analytics jargon.
We never promise rankings or a number of new enquiries. We do promise consistent, honest work on being found — and to show you exactly what we did.
Built for you
A business deciding on a printer needs your services and artwork guidelines fast, not a page of generic press photography.
The business is usually deciding, carefully and often comparing more than one printer, whether to trust its deadline to your company. A generic print-company template treats every one the same. We don't.
Every PrimeStart website is designed from scratch and custom coded on WordPress in HTML and PHP — no page builders, no theme bought off a shelf with your logo dropped in. It's built around what a business needs to decide with confidence: your services, your artwork guidelines, and how to start a job.
"A business choosing a printer doesn't need a stock photo of a press mid-run. They need to see, clearly, what you produce and how to prepare their files."
Why artwork guidelines sit above the fold on every print-company site- 1
Digital and litho printing, large format, stationery, brochures and packaging told apart clearly
Never one generic "printing services" page that makes a business guess what you actually offer.

File formats, bleed and proofing requirements stated exactly as you set them
Never invented or assumed - shown only as your own terms.
- 3
Your genuine lead times described exactly as you offer them
Never overpromised or blurred into one generic "fast turnaround" claim.

A fast way to start a job
Never a web-to-print system we haven't built — a print enquiry route that captures job details efficiently, and links to your own ordering system if you already have one.
