What's included
The parts a small business site actually needs, done properly, with no list of upsells and nothing held back for a higher tier.
- Design and build
- A layout built around what your customers need to find, not around a template. Loads fast on a normal phone signal.
- Works on phones
- Most of your visitors will be on a phone, so every page is designed for a small screen first and widened for a desk.
- Enquiries that reach you
- A contact form that lands in your inbox, a WhatsApp button, and booking links or a calendar if you take appointments.
- Taking payments
- Deposits, invoices, monthly plans or a full checkout, handled by Stripe or PayPal so card details never touch your site.
- Being found on Google
- Page titles and descriptions written for search, a Business Profile that matches the site, and pages that load quickly enough to rank.
- Domain, hosting and email
- Set up in your name so you own it outright. Hosting for a normal site costs nothing and a domain is about £10 a year.
- Edit it yourself
- A simple editor for your text, prices and news. No WordPress admin to fight with and no plugins to keep updated.
- Visitor numbers
- See how many people visit and which pages they read, using stats that need no cookie banner.
- Accessible by default
- Readable contrast, proper headings and keyboard navigation, so nobody is shut out of contacting you.
- Aftercare
- Send me changes as they come up and I price them per job, from £10 for a small edit. Nothing monthly.
How a build runs
Five steps, two to three weeks for most jobs.
A chat
Twenty minutes on the phone, or a coffee in Stockport, about what the site needs to do for you.
Quote and deposit
A fixed price in writing. The deposit books your start date, and I send a list of the text and photos each page needs.
First version
Within about two weeks you get a private link to try on your phone and your laptop.
Changes and launch
Your rounds of changes, then the domain, email and hosting go live in your name.
Aftercare
Send me changes whenever they come up and I quote them per job. No monthly fee.
Rough estimate
A ballpark before we talk. The real quote is fixed.
For a three page site:
Half to book, half at launch. Hosting is free and the domain is around £10 a year.
