Whether an established business, or trusted professional, word-of-mouth is your best marketing tool. But what happens if you’re just starting out, or when things dry up? Your website becomes really important for potential customers sizing you up against the competition. A dated, difficult to use website, or even worse, no website at all, can be really off-putting for people. But don’t worry, getting a website for your business is much easier than you think. 

If your website is your shopfront, then social media is the poster in your window. The likes of Facebook and Instagram are great for promoting your business, but they can be really time-consuming to keep updated, especially when new apps crop up all the time. 

Plus your pages aren’t really owned by you. They’re owned by big social media corporations who, sorry to say, favour big brands over small ones. They can (and do) change their terms, conditions and algorithms, often overnight, leaving you frustrated, invisible and trying to figure out where all your customers went.  

Your website on the other hand is 100% owned by you. You control everything, including the content, meaning you never have to worry about someone moving the goal posts. 

To put it in real terms, if you were to open a business on the high street, your website is like your shop front. Clean and inviting, with your opening times in the window and a welcome mat outside. An outdated website is like a shop with peeling paint and dirty windows. No website at all is like hanging up the closed sign and shutting off the lights. Not very appealing for potential customers.

Having a modern, simple and informative website makes you look professional, giving customers an extra layer of reassurance, which is vital when they’re figuring out which company to buy from. Also, as your website is always on, it means your door is open 24/7, bringing you potential business around the clock. 

As little, or as much as you like. Working with business owners for over 20 years, while having run a few of my own, I’ve come to understand that marketing is either seen as a priority, or it’s not. Often, business owners want to focus on getting customers and doing a great job. They’re less excited about Google rankings and website copy and you know what…it’s fine either way.

If you enjoy the marketing side of your business and have clear ideas about what you want, great! Let’s work together to turn your ideas into reality.

If you’d rather focus on running your business, and leave the process in my hands, that’s fine too. I’ve created a stress-free website service that gets you up and running quickly, with minimal input required, other than providing feedback and sign off. 

Depending on the scale and scope of the project, website design and build times can vary. However, as a rough guide, projects can taken between 2-6 weeks from contract signing, depending on how much of the content already exists vs. what needs to be created, current workload, build complexity, timely feedback and sign off.

The best thing to do is get in touch to discuss the specifics of your projects, so I can give you an accurate timeframe for delivery.

Much like the project timeframe, cost very much depends on the scale and scope of the project. During our initial conversation, I’ll ask you a few questions to find out what you’re looking for. Depending on a variety of factors including, how much of the content already exists vs. what needs to be created, build complexity, functionality requirements, number of pages etc., I’ll provide you with a written quote, valid for 30 days.  While it’s difficult to give an exact figure without knowing the specifics, I can tell you that previous clients have been delighted by my competitive prices and professional service.
