Thunderbolt Web Design

Founded in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle in 2014 (originally as Calland Creative), Thunderbolt Web Design is a small studio, led by founder Mike, serving businesses across the UK and beyond, from local companies and startups to larger established brands. Work has included restaurant and hospitality groups, retail and homeware businesses, a university, and technology and biopharma companies, reflecting a client base that spans local Liverpool firms through to enterprise-level organisations. The agency's services cover web design and development, technical SEO, digital marketing, PPC, and branding, including brand strategy, brand storytelling and photography. Its approach draws on a background in eCommerce design and BigCommerce platform development, with a focus on design-led conversion rate optimisation so that sites are built to perform commercially rather than purely for appearance. Digital marketing work extends to managing SEO and PPC campaigns, and experience with marketing automation setups such as Salesforce with Pardot for lead routing to sales teams. Projects are described as hands-on, strategic partnerships running from initial concept through to launch, combining visual identity and layout skills from a graphic design background with technical website build and ongoing marketing support.
