Website Design & Development

I design and build clear, fast WordPress websites for small UK businesses. One person from the first call to launch and beyond, with a fixed quote before any work starts.

Websites that explain what you do and bring in enquiries

Most visitors decide in a few seconds whether your business is right for them. Your website has to tell them clearly what you do, who it is for and how to get in touch, on a phone as well as on a desktop.

I design and build WordPress websites for small UK businesses: trades, clinics, caterers, consultants and other service businesses. Every site is planned around your customers, not a template with your logo swapped in. You get a custom responsive design, fast-loading pages and the SEO basics set up from day one.

Because it is built on WordPress, you can change text, photos and prices yourself. When you need something bigger later, such as new pages, online booking or a second language, the site is ready for it without a rebuild.

Website design questions, answered

It depends on how many pages you need and what the site has to do. As a guide, a Starter Website with up to 10 pages starts from £400, and a Business Website with up to 15 pages starts from £800. If you also want to sell online, an Online Shop starts from £1,200.

After our first call I send you a written, fixed quote within 1 to 2 working days. It lists exactly what is included, so you know the full price before any work starts. If you ask for something extra along the way, I tell you what it costs before I do it.
Most small business websites take 2 to 4 weeks from the first call to launch. A small site with ready content can be quicker. A larger site with more pages or custom features takes longer, and I give you a realistic date in the quote.

The thing that slows most projects down is content: page text, photos and your logo. At the start I tell you exactly what I need from you, and the timeline runs from when I have it.
You know your business best, so the facts need to come from you. That does not mean writing polished pages. Rough notes, a list of your services or answers to a few questions are enough, and I shape them into clear text for each page.

Your own photos of your work, premises and team usually work better than stock images, because customers can see the real business. If you do not have good photos yet, I can use suitable licensed images for launch and swap them later.
Yes. Your site is built on WordPress, so you can change text, photos, prices and opening hours, or add news posts, without touching any code. When the site goes live I show you how to make the everyday changes.

If you would rather not do it yourself, send me what needs changing and I will update it for you, either as a one-off job or as part of a monthly maintenance plan.

Not always. I start by looking at what you have: how fast it is, how it works on a phone, how the pages are organised and whether it brings in enquiries. Sometimes a few fixes and a design refresh are enough. If the site is built in a way that will keep causing problems, a rebuild is usually cheaper in the long run. I explain why, and you decide.

If we do rebuild, I keep your existing page addresses or redirect them to the new ones, so you do not lose the Google rankings you already have.

You’ll always know who’s working on your site and what’s happening with it. I explain things in plain English and give straight answers, including when something isn’t worth paying for.

Tell me about your project and I’ll come back with a clear, fixed quote.

How much does a website cost?
The cost of a website depends on the size of the project, the number of pages, the design requirements, and the features your business needs. A simple brochure website will usually cost less than a larger website with advanced functionality or an online shop.

Our standard website projects start from £400, with most small business websites costing between £800 and £1,200. eCommerce websites start from £800, although the final price will depend on the number of products, payment options, delivery requirements, and any additional integrations.

Before providing a quote, we’ll discuss your business, the purpose of the website, the pages you need, and any features you would like to include. You’ll then receive a clear, itemised quotation within 1–2 working days, so you know exactly what is included before deciding to proceed.
Most small business websites take approximately 2–4 weeks to design, build, test, and prepare for launch. Smaller websites with ready-to-use content may be completed sooner, while websites with more pages, custom features, or additional integrations may require more time.

eCommerce websites usually take around 3–5 weeks, depending on the number of products, payment and delivery setup, product information, and any third-party integrations that need to be configured.

The project timeline begins once the required content, images, access details, and project information have been provided. Delays can occur if content or feedback is not available when needed, so we’ll keep you informed throughout the project and let you know what is required at each stage.
Yes. Your website will be built using an easy-to-manage content management system, allowing you to update text, images, pages, blog posts, products, and other content without needing to write code.

Before the website goes live, we can show you how to make common updates, such as editing page content, adding images, managing products, and updating basic website information.

If you prefer not to manage the website yourself, we can also provide ongoing maintenance and support. This may include content updates, plugin updates, security checks, backups, troubleshooting, and general technical assistance.
Launching your website is not the end of the process. Once your website is live, we can continue to support you with technical assistance, WordPress updates, security checks, backups, performance monitoring, and ongoing improvements.

If you notice a problem after launch, or if you need help making changes, you can contact us and we’ll review the issue. We’ll explain what needs to be done and recommend the most suitable solution.

For clients who want ongoing protection and support, we also offer website maintenance, managed WordPress hosting, regular backups, security monitoring, and performance optimisation.

The level of support depends on the service you choose, so we’ll explain what is included before you start.
No reputable SEO provider can guarantee a number-one position on Google. Search rankings depend on many factors, including competition, search demand, website quality, technical performance, content, location, and ongoing changes to search algorithms. Google itself advises businesses to be cautious of anyone promising guaranteed first-place rankings.

What we can do is give your website a strong SEO foundation. This may include improving the website structure, making important pages easier for search engines to understand, addressing technical issues, improving page speed, optimising on-page content, and ensuring the website provides a clear experience for visitors.

SEO is an ongoing process rather than a one-time guarantee. Results can take time and will vary depending on your industry, competitors, website history, and the amount of work involved. We focus on practical improvements that help your website become more visible to relevant people over time.
