Without knowing what sort of website you want, I can’t say how much a website will cost. Every website is unique to each business with different components, pages, functionalities and different goals.

As an indication a one-page website starts at £900, a brochure website from £1400 and an ecommerce site from £2600.

The main benefits of having a website:
Every website project is custom built for each business, and the length of time to complete your project depends on your requirements. I will estimate the timescale in your initial proposal but these timescales are dependent on speedy responses from the client to any queries or to agree a proposed mock-up design.
A standard time would be 4 – 6 weeks to complete a website. With more complex websites of 15 pages plus or an ecommerce shop with many detailed products may take 2 months or more.
How much information you can provide during the initial stages, your feedback, and how quickly any content is provided – all this affects the speed of completing your website. The functionality and revisions required will also play a role in your timeline.
Yes of course. All we ask is the right to use screenshots and a description of your site in our work portfolio.
I will guide you through the information that is needed for your particular project. But as a guide the following is needed for most projects:
Copy text. Words to describe your business, what you do, how you started etc..
Photos. Quality images of your product or service is the way to make your business standout. You can take good photos using a phone camera, or professional photos if you prefer. Landscape photos are often more useful in website work.
Branding. Your logo, your colours and any branding/marketing assets you have such as brochures.
You have a choice either you can maintain your own website or I can do it for you. You can contact me whenever you need updates to your website and I’ll charge on an hourly basis to complete your requests.
As soon as you accept your website proposal and you made the 30% initial payment, I can schedule in the work.
For Website Designs there may be a lead in time, but I will have informed you of this in the initial quote. And during this time you can get all the necessary information together.
For Social Media Marketing & SEO services, these can start within a week or two, once I have all the necessary information.
I have a process for our services, which I find works well.
First I need to find out more about you and your business, so I can better understand what you do and your requirements. The more I understand what your business offers, the better.
Then I research and plan your site. Research on your industry, best keywords, your competitors etc.. Then I start to plan the design of the website.
Next I design and build the site to include any features required starting with the front page design. I’ll send you the mockup of the front page for your comments and make any changes.
Then I start on the inner pages including the necessary functionalities eg enquiry form, content management system, shopping cart, etc..
Then I’ll test the website thoroughly to ensure that it is error-free and ask you to look through the site.
Once you are happy with everything and the final payment made, the website ‘goes live’ online.
I do not outsource any of my development work to third parties. I will be developing your site or working on your website.
Yes of course. I have clients local to Bury St Edmunds and further afield.
I am happy to talk to clients face-to-face, on the phone or by zoom if you prefer.
Yes of course I can work with you on an eCommerce site.
I work with Woocommerce platform for online shops, to include integration with popular payment providers such as PayPal, Stripe etc..
Payment for new websites and redesigned websites are in 2 parts, 30% to secure your start date and the final payment before the site goes live.
Payments for other work will be advised at our first conversation.
If you need work done quickly, contact me about it.
I can help if you need some work on your website. I can work on design and front-end development to sort out issues with your site or to improve it.
If you need work done quickly, contact me about it.
Firstly, we arrange a convenient time to speak so that I can get to know what you want from a new website and to start to understand what your business and how it works. This stage is very important for us both to identify what we want to achieve from the site.
I will then send you a quote, a timescale for the build and times when payments are required. If this is acceptable, I will email you a contract to be signed before I proceed.
Then I will send you a questionnaire about you and your business and all your contact details.
I will send be in contact during the build to ask questions, show you mockup and make suggestions.
Please response promptly so as not to delay the the build and when your site go live.
Depending on the size of the website, aim to get your site live within one month.
Your website will be live on the Internet, once the final payment has cleared.
Yes I only build WordPress websites. If someone asks me to work on an existing site that is on Wix or another platform, I can do the work. But I build websites on WordPress.
Why? Because WordPress is the best content management system and it’s used by more than 40% of the websites worldwide.
