Services/Websites
Websites that work as hard as you do.
Clean, fast, mobile-friendly websites that look like your brand and bring in enquiries. Built on WordPress so you can update it yourself, or hand-built when speed matters more.
What you get
Everything you need to go live with confidence. Your quotation sets out the pages, features and aftercare included.
- Custom design in your brand, not a template everyone else is using
- Built for phones first, then tablets and desktops, and tested on all of them
- Easy to update: WordPress sites come with training, so you can change pages, news and menus yourself
- Words & pictures: help with writing the copy and choosing the right images
- Search basics: page titles, descriptions, speed and sitemaps set up so people can find you
- Contact & enquiry forms with spam protection, delivered straight to your inbox
- Launch & handover: domain, hosting and email set up, plus a simple how-to guide
Going further? Online shops, bookings and smart website features can be built in, and a monthly care plan keeps everything updated, backed up and secure.
Two ways to build
Not sure which suits you? I’ll recommend one in your quotation.
WordPress
The world’s most popular website platform, set up and styled so it’s simple to manage.
- Edit pages, news, menus and products yourself
- Online shop and bookings available
- Hosted and looked after on a care plan
Hand-built
A lean, custom-coded site with nothing it doesn’t need, like this one.
- Very fast, very secure, very low maintenance
- Ideal for portfolios and showpiece sites
- Changes made by me, quickly
Who it’s for
A first website
Get online properly from the start, with a site that matches your brand and tells people exactly what you do.
Replacing an old site
Slow, dated or impossible to update? Keep the content that works, rebuild everything else.
A growing business
Add a shop, bookings or smart features as you grow, without starting again.
How a website project works
Plan
The pages, content and features you need, mapped out before anything is designed.
Design
The home page and key pages designed first, so you can see the look before the build.
Build & test
Built and tested on phones, tablets and desktops, with your content in place.
Launch
Live on your domain, with training, a how-to guide and aftercare if you want it.
Questions
How much does it cost?
Every website is quoted on its outline, because no two jobs are quite the same. Send me the details and you’ll get a clear, fixed quotation showing exactly what’s included.
How long does it take?
It depends on the scope and how quickly decisions get made. Your quotation includes a timeline, and I’ll keep you posted at every stage.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, with WordPress. You’ll get training and a simple guide, and I’m on hand if you get stuck.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. Every site is designed for phones first, then tested on tablets and desktops.
Can you sort hosting, the domain and email?
Yes. I can set everything up and manage it for you, or work with the hosting you already have.
What happens after launch?
You can choose a monthly care plan covering updates, backups, security and small changes, or call on me as and when you need.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Once the project is paid for, the site and its content are yours, and your domain is registered in your name.
