Alright? We’re Think Mad.5.0 on Google
Web design, SEO & Google Ads in Widnes
Be the talk of the town.
Word of mouth still wins local work. But these days, every recommendation ends in a search. Think Mad builds websites for North West businesses, then gets them found on Google. So what people find backs up what they’ve heard.

Some of the businesses people are talking about
Every recommendation ends in a search
Someone says your name.
The next thing they do is look you up.
What they find decides it.
A great recommendation can’t save a slow, confusing website. And if they can’t find you at all, the work goes to whoever they can find. We fix both ends of that.
What we do
Three ways to get people talking.
Most clients start with the website. SEO and Google Ads come once it’s ready to convert, so the traffic you pay for lands somewhere worth visiting.

Media & digital
Word of mouth went digital.
The garden fence is a group chat now. The high street is a search bar. People still recommend businesses. They just do it everywhere at once, and then check you out everywhere too. Tap a channel to see where we come in.

How it works
How we get people talking.
We start with what your best customers already say about you, then build everything around it. Written down, so you always know what’s next.
1A brew and a natter
How you win work, and what people already say about you. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.
2A written plan
Scope, timeline and a written quote, in plain English. You’ll know the cost before anything starts.
3Design & build
You see it take shape and sign off each stage. Nothing goes live without your say-so.
4Launch & keep an eye on it
Found on Google, Ads when you’re ready, and a monthly report from your own accounts.
Why a speech bubble with eyes? The bubble is word of mouth: what people say about you. The eyes are us, paying attention to your customers, to what’s working, and to every page before it goes live. And yes, they follow you round the page.
The quote comes first.
Written, agreed and in your inbox before any work starts.
No long lock-ins.
If we’re doing a good job, you’ll stay because of that.
No surprise extras.
Anything new is agreed before it’s done, never on an invoice first.
How we work
We use AI. We just don’t let it drive.
AI helps with research, first drafts, code and testing. It’s a big part of why projects that used to take months now take weeks. But a person makes every decision, and one of the team checks every page, claim and campaign before it goes live.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can’t see yours? Call 0151 316 0110 and ask a real person. Or see all our FAQs.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the website needs to do, so we don't publish a price that might be wrong for you. After a short conversation you'll receive a written quote. You'll know the cost before anything starts.
How long does a new website take?
It depends on the scope. You'll get a timeline in writing with your proposal, and we'll tell you early if anything is likely to affect it.
Can you improve our existing website rather than start again?
Often, yes. A website review will show whether your current site is worth improving or whether a rebuild is the better investment, and we'll tell you honestly either way.
Do we need SEO and Google Ads as well?
Not always. The website has to convert first. After that, SEO builds steady enquiries over months and Google Ads brings them in now. We'll recommend what fits your business and budget.
Will our website appear in AI search tools like ChatGPT?
No one can guarantee it. We build pages that answer real questions clearly, use proper structured data and keep your business details consistent everywhere, which are the signals AI search tools rely on.
Do you use AI in your work?
Yes, for research, drafting, code and testing. It makes us faster. A person reviews everything before it goes live.
Are we tied into a contract?
Not usually, and if one's needed you'll see the terms in writing first. If we're doing a good job, you'll stay because of that.
Do you only work with businesses in Widnes?
No. We're based in Widnes and work with businesses across Merseyside, Cheshire and the North West, in person or by video call.
