Services · Website development · Warehouse management websites

Websites that bring online brands and northern retailers to Manchester warehouses.

Codeeo provides warehouse management website development Manchester fulfilment and distribution businesses use to attract the clients they want and screen out the ones they cannot serve. We plan and build sites that show which sales channels you integrate with, how you cope with peak, how returns are processed and where your buildings sit on the M60, M62 and M6, then hand each enquiry to sales with the volumes and channels already captured.

The scope is your public website and enquiry platform. Order data and stock stay in the warehouse and integration software you already run; the site explains that service, gathers leads and applications, and gives existing clients a quick way into their portal.

Built for
Ecommerce fulfilment providers, food and drink distributors, import warehouses and regional 3PLs across Greater Manchester and the wider North West.
Typical timeline
Worked out in discovery over video, then written into the agreement with review points for copy, design and launch.

What goes into the website

What Manchester fulfilment buyers check before they enquire.

Greater Manchester has become one of the busiest parcel fulfilment areas in the country, with operators clustered in Trafford Park, along the M62 towards Warrington and Leeds, and around the airport. A clothing brand outgrowing its own unit, a drinks wholesaler supplying bars and supermarkets across the North and an importer bringing containers through the Port of Liverpool or Port Salford will each judge your site differently. The online brands want proof that you connect to their shop platform and can survive Black Friday. Food and drink buyers want hygiene and traceability. Importers want to know how quickly a container becomes sellable stock. These features help one website serve all three properly, listed roughly in the order we build them.

Explain your project
  • Channel integration directory

    A searchable page listing the shop platforms, marketplaces and carriers your warehouse system connects to, each with a short note on how orders flow and how stock levels sync back. Your team adds or retires entries from the CMS as your integrations change, so the list never claims a connection you have dropped.

    Brands confirm technical fit before they book a call.

  • Fit check questionnaire

    Before the full enquiry form, a few quick questions about monthly orders, product type, storage needs and channels tell a visitor whether you are likely to suit them. Good fits continue to the form; poor fits get a polite explanation, saving both sides time.

    Sales spend time on accounts you actually want.

  • Peak season page

    A page your team refreshes each year describing how you plan for peak: forecast deadlines for clients, extra shifts, cut-off times and how capacity is reserved. Buyers coming from a failed peak elsewhere look for this first. A short archive of earlier peak notices shows the process is repeated every year, not written once and forgotten, which matters to Manchester brands planning their busiest quarter.

    Your peak planning becomes a selling point rather than a risk question.

  • Returns service section

    Fashion and footwear sellers in Manchester live with high return rates. A dedicated section explains how returned items are received, graded, restocked or set aside, and how clients see outcomes, with a separate enquiry route for brands mainly seeking returns handling.

    Returns heavy brands see their biggest headache addressed directly.

  • Food and drink assurance

    For chilled, ambient food or alcohol storage, pages cover temperature zones, batch and date control, pest control and audits, with a document area for certificates you hold such as BRCGS Storage and Distribution, and any excise status you can evidence.

    Category and technical managers find the evidence they must collect.

  • Northern coverage map

    An interactive map, built from your own data, showing your sites and the delivery reach you can support across the North West, Yorkshire and beyond, with notes on inbound links from the Manchester Ship Canal, Liverpool and Manchester Airport cargo.

    Regional retailers understand your reach without a sales call.

  • Careers with travel guidance

    Listings for each site and shift, with directions by Metrolink tram, Bee Network bus or road, so applicants who do not drive can see whether early and late shifts are reachable. Forms are short, mobile friendly and send to your applicant system.

    Applicants who can reliably reach the site are the ones who apply.

  • Brand stories without invented results

    A case study template your team fills with real, approved client stories: the problem, the service set up and what changed, with the client's sign-off recorded in the CMS. Nothing is published without permission, and no figures appear unless the client approves them.

    Social proof that holds up when a prospect checks it.

  • Live chat routed to sales

    An optional chat widget that loads only after consent, captures the visitor's question and channel, and passes the conversation to your CRM. Out of hours it switches to a message form, so the site never implies someone is online when they are not.

    Quick questions turn into tracked leads instead of lost tabs.

  • Search pages for northern buyers

    Technical SEO, structured data for each Manchester address and pages aimed at what buyers search, such as ecommerce fulfilment in Manchester, chilled storage in the North West or container storage near Port Salford. Content is written to answer the question, not stuffed with place names.

    The site appears for the searches that bring buyers you can serve.

Who this is for

Four Manchester businesses this suits.

The Manchester warehousing market mixes young fulfilment specialists, long established food and drink distributors and import operations tied to the ports and the airport. Each sells to a different buyer and needs a different emphasis on the site. We work with Greater Manchester clients remotely, with discovery, page planning, design reviews and CMS training all held by video call and a staging site you can check whenever you like. Whichever group you fall into, the aim is the same: fewer, better enquiries that your team can price quickly, and a site the business can keep accurate without calling a developer for every change.

01

A fulfilment start up growing past its first clients

You won your first brands through contacts and now need a site that wins them on its own. We position you clearly against larger 3PLs, explain your integrations and service levels honestly, and build the fit check so smaller sellers who are not yet ready do not fill your diary. Pages stay lean and fast, because founders comparing providers on a phone will not wait. As you grow, the same structure takes new services without a redesign.

Clarity about who you serve beats claiming to serve everyone.

02

A food and drink distributor with an old site

The current site lists products and a phone number, but buyers now expect evidence of audits, temperature control and traceability before they visit. We restructure around services and assurance, add a document library and make sure every certificate shown has a current date. Seasonal trading pages for Christmas and summer peaks can be prepared ahead and published from the CMS. Where you store alcohol, age and licensing wording is checked by your compliance lead before launch.

Certificates go online only with their real dates.

03

An import warehouse serving the North West ports

Container devanning, storage and onward distribution are your core, and buyers are importers and freight forwarders. The site explains inbound handling from Liverpool and Port Salford, any customs status you hold, and how stock is released. Enquiry fields capture container counts and commodity types so your team can reply quickly. Forwarders can download a simple service sheet to share with their own customers.

Customs wording is checked against what HMRC has actually granted.

04

A regional 3PL adding a Manchester site

Your business is based elsewhere and is opening in Greater Manchester. We add Manchester site pages, local search set up and recruitment listings to your existing site, or plan a rebuild if the current structure cannot take more locations. Enquiries for the new building route straight to the site manager. Local recruitment for the opening usually matters as much as sales, so careers pages for Manchester often go live first.

A new site should not mean a new website.

The route from brief to a live Manchester website.

Technology

What we build this with.

For most Manchester operators a WordPress build is simple for the team to run; a Next.js front end with a headless CMS suits businesses wanting very fast pages and several brands. Forms and chat connect to HubSpot, Dynamics 365 or your CRM, and careers to your applicant system.

Questions from Manchester warehouse and fulfilment businesses.

With the clients you most want to win and what they need to see before enquiring.

We begin by reviewing your best current accounts and asking what convinced them, then look at enquiries that went nowhere. That shows which pages the site must lead with, whether integrations, peak planning, food assurance or import handling. From there we plan the routes and forms. Starting with design or a theme before this step usually produces a site that looks fine and brings the wrong enquiries. The discovery output is a short written plan you can share with your directors before any build begins.
