websites for small businesses

a website that looks like you and gets you enquiries

I design and build websites for small businesses, planned around your brand, your customers and what you want people to do when they land. Quick to load, easy on a phone and set up to be found on Google.

proof

I built this website myself

The site you're on right now is my own work, built with Claude, from the branding to the code to the SEO.

I planned the pages like a sales funnel, made every page work on a phone, added the search details that help Cumbrian businesses find me, and set up a simple enquiry form. It loads fast and it's built around what I want visitors to do next. I'd do the same for you, with your brand and your goals.

what you get

everything your website needs to work hard

design in your brand

Your colours, fonts and personality, so the site feels like your business and not a template.

made for phones

Looks good and works smoothly on every screen, because most people will visit on their phone.

SEO set up from day one

Page titles, descriptions, fast loading and local search details, so Google understands what you do and where.

built to bring enquiries

Clear pages, clear buttons and a simple contact form, planned around what you want visitors to do.

copy in your voice

Words that sound like you, written to be easy to read and to answer your customers' questions.

built with Claude

I build your site with Claude, which keeps the price low and the turnaround quick. I check and test everything myself, and I can teach you to make your own edits with Claude too.

questions

How much does a website cost?

One page websites start from £295, small business websites from £695 and online shops from £1,295. Hosting is not included. Anything bigger or different is a custom quote at £45 an hour, and you'll always get a clear total before we start.

How do you build the websites?

I build them with Claude, an AI assistant, as custom-coded sites like this one. That is how I keep prices low and turnaround quick. I check, test and tidy everything myself before it goes live.

Will my website work on phones?

Yes. Every site I build is designed to look and work properly on phones, tablets and computers, because most of your visitors will be on their phone.

Do you help people find my website on Google?

Yes. I set up the SEO basics as I build, including page titles, descriptions, clean page addresses, image names, fast loading and local search details if you serve a particular area.

Can you write the words and find the images?

I can write the copy in your brand's voice and use your own photos, so the site sounds like you. If you need extra images, I'll help you find the right ones.

Can I edit the website myself?

No. Because the sites are built with Claude and custom coded, you don't get a drag and drop editor. That is what keeps the price low. You have two options. Email me whenever you want a change, such as new text, photos or a new page, and I make it for you at £45 an hour. Or I can teach you to make your own edits using Claude, with a simple written guide made for your site, so you can update it whenever you like.

Is hosting included?

No. Hosting and your domain name are not included and are paid for directly by you. I'll tell you what you need and can help you get it set up.

Can you rebuild my existing website?

Yes. I'll keep what's working, fix what isn't and make sure your old page addresses point to the new ones so you don't lose your Google rankings.
