Small business website design, fully managed.
Everything below is included for every client. No tiers to decode, no add-ons to buy, no surprise invoices. Just affordable website design and development for small businesses across the North East, looked after personally by one local developer in South Shields.
Bespoke website design & build
What you getA fast, hand-coded website designed around your business and your customers, not a WordPress theme or a drag-and-drop template that fights you.
Why it mattersNo plugins to update, nothing to hack into, nothing for you to learn. A site built to bring in calls and bookings, and to stay standing.
Managed hosting & maintenance
What you getFast, secure hosting with SSL, backups, updates and uptime monitoring, all handled without you ever seeing a control panel.
Why it mattersA slow or broken site quietly costs you customers every day. Yours stays fast, safe and online while you get on with work.
Local SEO
What you getYour site tuned for the searches that matter near you, like "plumber South Shields" rather than vanity keywords, and kept tuned as things change.
Why it mattersMost people pick from the first few results they see. Local SEO is how you show up when someone round the corner needs exactly what you do.
Google Business Profile
What you getYour profile claimed and set up properly, with hours, photos, services and service area all filled in, then optimised and kept current month after month.
Why it mattersThe map results are often the first thing locals see. A complete, active profile puts you in them more often; a stale one hands the job to a competitor.
Reviews & reputation
What you getA simple, legitimate way of asking happy customers for Google reviews, plus a considered response to every review that comes in, good or bad.
Why it mattersReviews are the modern word of mouth. They're what turns "found you on Google" into "booked you", and ignoring them reads as not caring.
Monthly reporting
What you getA short, plain-English report each month: who found you, how they found you, what they did, and what I've been doing about it.
Why it mattersYou should never have to wonder what you're paying for. You'll see it in sentences, not spreadsheets.
Pricing
Two ways to work with me.
Most people choose the monthly service: nothing upfront, one flat amount, everything handled. Prefer to pay once, own the code and run the site yourself? That works too. A one-off build buys you a website; the monthly service keeps you found and looked after.
The managed service · recommended
Managed Monthly
£125 a month
£0 upfront. One flat amount, no surprise invoices.
- Website designed, built and tuned for local search
- Hosting, security and lifetime updates
- Unlimited content edits: prices, photos, opening hours, menus
- Google Business Profile, local SEO and reviews, all managed
- A plain-English report every month
- 24/7 support from me, not a ticket queue
Unlimited edits covers your content and small tweaks; bigger jobs are always quoted first. The site and code stay with me on the monthly service, which is what makes lifetime updates possible.
The one-off build
Buy it outright
£1,500 one-off
Pay once. The code is handed over on final payment, and it's yours.
- Bespoke design and build
- On-page SEO included
- Full handover of the code on final payment
After handover, hosting, changes and the ongoing search work are yours to manage. No edits, support or updates included. Right for businesses that want to own and run their own site.
Bought your site outright but don't want to host it? I can keep it live for £20 a month, uptime only: no edits, no updates, no support. Anything more is a one-off quote, or a move to the monthly service.
