Small Business Website Design

Two reasons. First, your cash stays in the business — instead of finding thousands upfront, you pay a flat amount each month you can budget around. Second, it's all in one — hosting, security, backups and updates are baked in. Buy a site outright and you'd end up paying for those separately anyway.

A real one. I build every site from scratch around your business — your colours, your brand, and what you actually want it to do. Nothing off the shelf. The price stays low because I'm one person with very little overhead, not because I'm cutting corners.

Yes, and I'll do it properly. Anything worth keeping — your words, your photos, existing content — comes across with you. If the old site is doing more harm than good, we start clean. Either way, nothing that matters gets lost in the move.

Completely. The domain, the content and the files all belong to you. Decide to move on one day and I hand the lot over — nothing held hostage. It's your asset, not something I keep a grip on.

After the first three months you're on a rolling monthly basis — give 30 days' notice and you're free to go. I'll pack up your site files and help you move them to another host if that's what you want. No exit fees, no guilt trip. Plenty of providers make leaving painful; I'm not one of them.

If you'd like to, yes — I can give you hands-on access. But you don't have to lift a finger: small changes are included, so you just email me and they're done. Most owners would rather stay focused on running things and leave the site to me.

Small businesses of almost any kind, right across the UK — trades, salons, clinics, cafés, consultants, personal trainers, accountants, you name it. It's just me running things, so you deal with the same person from start to finish, wherever you're based. The only jobs I turn down are full online shops and heavy custom software.

Usually about 14 days from that first call. A working draft is with you inside three days, then we polish it together. The main thing that sets the pace is how quickly you can send content and feedback — I won't be the hold-up.

Your logo if you've got one, a few photos of your work, team or premises, and a rough idea of what you offer. Don't worry about getting the wording perfect — that's my job to tidy up. Short on photos? I'll find professional images that suit.

Three full rounds while I'm building — that covers the big stuff like layout, colours and overall direction. Once you're live, everyday tweaks (text, photos, opening hours) are unlimited and included. A complete redesign further down the line is the only thing we'd talk about separately.

Every site is built on solid search foundations — fast to load, tidy on phones, proper headings and descriptions, and set up to work with your Google Business listing. I won't promise a top spot (nobody honestly can), but you'll have a genuinely strong base to grow from.

Every time. Most people will visit you on their phone, so that's where I start — the design is built for mobile first, then opened out for tablets and laptops. It'll look sharp whatever it's viewed on.
