Autoweb Design was established in 2004 to provide website design and lead generation services to car dealerships. Initial focus was solely on independent dealerships who remain vital partners of ours. Some of our earliest client partners are still with us today.
In the years that followed the company has expanded through continued client success and now services hundreds of franchise dealerships in the UK in addition to our independent dealership partners and, on top of this, we have strong partnerships with OEMs through our manufacturer offering and we also work with a number of the top 100 dealer groups in the UK.
Through all of this, we have provided specialist products and teams to work with each market segment from a single location independent through to a large multi-franchise dealership group, each segment has its unique challenges, demands requirements and we have been committed to not applying a 'one size fits all' model.
On this page you can see some images of key milestones in our history, from the early days to awards successes and growth.
