Websites for small businesses
Your business deserves a website that actually works.
I build fast, clean, honest websites for small UK businesses — the kind that load quickly, look right on a phone, and turn visitors into enquiries. Most are live inside 48 hours. One build fee, one small monthly, cancel whenever you like.
Free, no-obligation quote. Usually back to you the same day.

What I do
Everything your site needs, none of the things it doesn't.
Most small business websites fail for boring reasons — they're slow, they don't work on a phone, or there's no obvious way to get in touch. I fix those first, then make it look good.
Business websites
The site that tells people who you are, what you charge and how to book you. Clear, quick, and written so a real human can understand it.
Bookings & enquiries
Online booking, enquiry forms and invoicing built in, so the website actually brings you work instead of just sitting there looking nice.
Rescues & rebuilds
Got a site that's slow, broken on mobile, or stuck with someone who's stopped replying? I take it over and get you something that works this week.
Getting found on Google
Proper page titles, descriptions and a Google Business Profile set up correctly — the groundwork that gets you showing up locally.
Speed & accessibility
Sites built to load fast on a bad phone signal and to work for people using screen readers. It's not optional and it isn't extra.
Copy that sounds like you
If writing the words is the bit that stalls the project, I'll draft them for you and you just tell me what's wrong.
Recent work
Real sites, doing real jobs.
A few recent builds. Happy to talk you through any of them and what they cost.

One more slot. Before-and-after numbers work brilliantly here if you have them — load time, enquiries per month, that sort of thing.

The bit most people don't tell you
Your site runs on a platform I pay for and manage, and the monthly fee covers that. It means you never deal with hosting, renewals or certificates — but it also means the site goes offline if you stop the monthly. I'd rather say that plainly now than have it come as a surprise later. There's no contract and no notice period, your domain stays registered in your name whatever happens, and if you ever want to move on I'll hand over your content and point the domain wherever you like.
How it works
Four steps. No mystery.
01
You tell me what you do
A short conversation — what your business is, who you want to hear from, and what you want the site to make happen. No brief document required.
02
I send a fixed quote
One build price, one monthly, and a date it'll be live by. If it doesn't suit, that's fine and it costs you nothing.
03
I build it and you review it
Usually within 48 hours you're looking at your actual site on a private link, not a mock-up. Two rounds of changes are included and I don't count emails.
04
It goes live and I look after it
Your domain is registered in your name and stays that way. I handle the hosting, the certificate, the backups and any small changes, so you can go back to running your business.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Is 48 hours realistic?
For most small business sites, yes. I use modern tooling that does the heavy lifting on layout and structure, which means my time goes into your words, your photos and getting you found — the parts that actually matter. The thing that slows a project down is waiting for content, so if you have photos and a rough idea of what you want to say, it moves quickly.
What happens if I stop paying the monthly?
The site comes offline, because the monthly is what keeps the platform and hosting running. I'll always warn you before that happens, never tie you into a contract, and if you'd rather leave than stay I'll hand over your content and point your domain wherever you want it. Your domain is yours regardless — it's registered in your name from day one.
Do I own my domain?
Yes, always. The domain is registered in your name with your details, and you keep it whatever happens between us. That's the one thing you genuinely cannot afford to have sitting in someone else's account, so I don't do it that way.
What if I don't have a logo or photos?
Not a problem. I can work with a simple wordmark and good stock imagery to get you live, and you can upgrade later. It's better to be online and improving than perfect and invisible.
Will it show up on Google?
The groundwork is included — page titles, descriptions, fast loading, and your Google Business Profile set up properly on Standard and above. Ranking for competitive terms takes months of ongoing work and I'll be straight with you about that rather than promising page one.
Do you need paying up front?
Half of the build fee to start, half when you're happy and it goes live. The monthly starts the day the site goes live. Nothing is due before you've seen and approved the quote.
