What I provide
Design and build, brand creation for businesses starting fresh, ongoing maintenance, bookings and payments, and the hosting underneath all of it.
Building the site
Written by hand for your business rather than assembled from a template. The point of it is to get the phone ringing, so that is what everything on the page is arranged around.
- Not a stock theme with your logo dropped into it
- Built for phones first, because that is where most of your visitors are now
Looking after it
The bit most people skip and later regret. Sites go stale, certificates lapse, prices on the page stop matching the prices you charge. Message me and I sort it.
- Text and photo changes, usually same day
- New service pages as the business grows
- WhatsApp me directly, no ticket system
Bookings and payments
Some businesses need more than pages. Taking appointments, taking card payments, or connecting the site up to a system you already use. That is the more technical side of the job, and it is what I have been doing for years.
- Booking calendars and appointment reminders
- Card and Apple Pay through whichever provider you use
- Talking to whatever system you already use
Keeping it online
Your site is hosted on fast, reliable servers so it loads quickly for every visitor, and it stays online. The hosting, the security certificate and all the renewals are handled by me. There is nothing for you to manage.
- Nothing for you to log into or remember to renew
- If it goes down, I find out before you do
Brand creation
Starting fresh, or moving on from a name that never quite fitted? I put the whole thing together: a logo, the website built around it, and the domain and email address to match. Everything designed together, not bolted on one piece at a time.
- A logo designed alongside the site, so everything matches from day one
- Domain and Google Workspace email can be set up as part of the same project
- Handed over for you to run yourself, or looked after by me ongoing, whichever you prefer
Getting found once you are live
The site itself is structured for search from the outset and that is included in the price. Proper page structure, titles and descriptions written for the terms your customers actually search for, and fast loading. A verified Google Business listing and ongoing search work are available separately, building out the content and location pages that push you further up the listings and reporting back on where you rank. For most local businesses it is the cheapest advertising available.
