The problem

Is your website slow, not ranking, outdated or not getting leads?

Usually, it’s all 4. Slow sites don’t rank. Sites that don’t rank don’t get found. Sites that don’t get found don’t bring in customers. Fix how it’s built and the rest falls into place.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a website cost?

A basic brochure site is £500. Beyond that, most trade and small business sites land between £800 and £1,800 depending on how many pages and how much of the writing you want me to do. Either way you get a fixed price in writing before anything starts: no day rates, no scope creep.

Why does site speed actually matter?

Two reasons. Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal, so a slow site is fighting uphill against faster competitors. And more directly: people leave. A page that takes four seconds on a phone loses a large share of its visitors before it has said anything.

Do you use WordPress?

Not by default. Most small business sites do not need a database, an admin login and forty plugins to show fifteen pages, and that stack is where the slowness and the security patching come from. I build static sites that are faster, cheaper to host and have almost nothing to break. If you genuinely need a CMS, I will fit one.

What happens after it goes live?

You are not left with a login and a good luck. Changes, new pages and fixes are handled within a couple of working days, and you ring the person who built it rather than a ticket queue.

I am not technical at all. Is that a problem?

Not remotely, and most of my clients are not. I do not ask you to log into anything, learn a system, or fill in a spreadsheet. You tell me about the work you do and I handle the rest.
