Website Design Service for small business & Individuals
New website build, existing website makeover, or just some improvements
What is different about my website design service?
Some web design companies offer seemingly cheap website builds, but often lock you into their hosting and expensive monthly maintenance fees. They may also require you to use them for any future work. If you become dissatisfied with their service, you could face the costly prospect of rebuilding your entire website elsewhere.
With my website design service you maintain complete control. I will set you up with your own hosting, so you have the freedom to choose: manage it yourself, or let me handle it for you. The decision is entirely yours.

Building your WordPress website
Fully manageable websites
I specialise in responsive web design, crafting websites for individuals and small businesses using the powerful and user-friendly WordPress and Elementor platforms.
These platforms offer exceptional flexibility and ease of use. Once your site is live, you can easily manage it yourself through the intuitive dashboard, updating text, prices, and even publishing blog posts.
adapts to device
Today’s web isn’t confined to PCs and laptops. With the rise of tablets and smartphones, your website must be responsive to different devices.
A mobile-friendly design is also crucial for search engine ranking, as Google downgrades sites that aren’t. WordPress websites are inherently adaptable and responsive, ensuring a consistent user experience across all devices.
Self-managed wordpress websites
My self-managed website design service gives you full control to manage your own website. If required, I will set you up with your own hosting package, build the website and show you how to update, if you want.
For updates, maintenance you can either come to me or go elsewhere. You will only be charged for the work I actually do. Additionally, should you become unhappy with me, or I get run over by a bus, you can still go to another designer and will keep the website that you have already paid for.

Fully managed wordpress websites
I realise also that some people prefer to have their websites fully managed by someone else. This could simply be because you are too busy, or feel better knowing that an expert is looking after all aspects of your website.
Therefore I offer a managed option in addition to building your site, which includes your own hosting setup and looked after by me, and taking care of all updates and any technical problems. Also, regular backups.

What will it cost?
Every website is different, as I’m sure you have been told by numerous other companies. However, it is true because there are a number of factors to consider when building a website.
Below are some base prices to act as a guide and starting point. However for most websites the actual price may depend upon the scope of the website being built or re-built.
The first step is to have a meeting to discuss your exact needs, after which I will give you a full breakdown of the final cost.

SEO Strategy
I build SEO into every website I create, optimising your content with effective keywords and ensuring each page is designed to be search engine friendly from the ground up.
With the explosion of the internet, getting your website found organically on search engines like Google has become more challenging. While it’s still possible, a solid SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) strategy is now more critical than ever.
This involves optimising your website’s content and structure with relevant keywords, making it easier for search engines to connect your site with the right audience and help you reach your target customers.
WordPress training
Whether I build your site or you already have a WordPress site and want to learn how to manage it yourself, I offer one-on-one online training via Zoom to empower you to take control of your own website. No more relying on costly outside help!
WordPress and Elementor can seem intimidating at first, but with a little guidance, they’re surprisingly easy to use. You don’t need any technical expertise – just a bit of training to navigate their features.
I can even work with you to build your website together, providing hands-on learning every step of the way.
