Web design for small businesses: Your business needs a website that works as hard as you do.
Designed and built around your business. Get a fixed price on the first call and see a real page within a week.
- A fixed price on the call, and it doesn't move
- See a real page within a week, not a mockup
- You work with me, from first call to launch
You've got a business to run.
You're already juggling enough, so my job is to take the stress of a website off your plate entirely. I've been doing this since I was a child: while everyone else wanted to play sports, all I wanted to do was make websites. Twenty years on, I love it just as much, from working out how your site should look to the technical challenge of bringing it to life.
I take the hassle out of it
Hosting, SSL certificates, renewals, updates, backups. You don't need to know what any of those are. I set them up and I keep them running.
I keep it moving, not you
You won't have to chase me, keep a list, or wonder what happens next. I'll tell you what I need and when I need it, and get on with the rest myself.
You see it before I build it.
Most projects take 5 to 11 weeks depending on the package, counted from the day you complete onboarding.
Consultation call
30 minutes on your goals, timeline and budget. You leave with a fixed price, not a range.
Brief and quote
I write up exactly what we agreed. Once you're happy with it, you approve a fixed-price quote.
A real page in a week
The actual page, on your own phone, not a mockup. Not right? Tell me, and I redo it free before the rest is built.
Build, launch, relax
Design, build and testing, then live on fast hosting that I monitor around the clock.
The price doesn't move.
It changes only if you ask for something new, and only after you've said yes to a quote for it.
Built to fit the company, not a template.
Fernwood
RetailA garden centre's whole offer turns over twelve times a year, so the site is an almanac: the home page is whichever month it is, and each of the twelve has a page of its own with what's in flower and what to do about it. The nursery team write it, dated and bylined, which is what updating your own site actually looks like. (opens in new tab)
Form
FitnessCharge premium rates and you'd better look the part, or people walk. Form Studio keeps it quiet: restrained type, deep green, a bit of gold. The timetable and trainers sit up front, because the first visit is the one that's hard to get. (opens in new tab)
Rooted
RestaurantHalf the decision to eat somewhere is made before you walk in. Rooted leans into that: dark, cinematic, a menu that reads like it was printed. Booking a table takes a few taps, not a phone call that rings out at 7pm. (opens in new tab)
Swift Plumbing & Heating
TradesNobody shops around when their boiler's leaking, and the one thing they want before they ring is a number. So the quote calculator is the first thing on the page, the full price book is the second, and the rest is a job log with what each one actually cost. No hero, no stock photography, just the prices. (opens in new tab)
Wren & Vine
FloristHalf a florist's orders are someone in a hurry. This one takes the order the whole way: pick a bunch, a size, a card message and a delivery date, then pay by card. Warm and a bit gardeny, with weddings tucked off to one side. (opens in new tab)
Meridian Works
WorkspaceAn empty desk earns nothing, and a photograph of a breakout area sells none of them. This one opens on a live floor plan: click any desk, office or meeting room to see what it costs and whether it's free right now. Members sign in behind it for room bookings, invoices and the door code. (opens in new tab)
Field & Loom
ClothingClothes sell on the photographs, so there is barely a sentence in the way of them. Five collections, product pages with a size run and a bag that keeps count, and the shop on Harbour Street given a section of its own. Quiet type, and no colour but what is in the pictures. (opens in new tab)
Millbrook Therapy
WellnessPeople landing here are usually anxious. Everything's pitched to settle them: plenty of space, soft sage, an easy way to send that first message without overthinking it. She writes the blog herself, which keeps the place ticking over between enquiries. (opens in new tab)
Riverbank Dental
DentalMost people picking a dentist are a bit anxious and shopping on trust. Everything here is pitched to settle them: a calm first impression, fees with no surprises, and a chatbot that answers the four questions the receptionist gets all day without anyone having to ring up. (opens in new tab)
