Small business web design · Telford & Shropshire
Websites that win the call, not just sit there.
Most small business websites are digital wallpaper: pretty enough, but they never turn a stranger into a phone call. I build the kind that does the selling for you, designed around your business, fast on a phone, and easy to find on Google. And I build yours free first, so you can see it working before you pay. Love it, and it's yours from £897.
If your business lives on a Facebook page, you're invisible
Plenty of good small businesses run entirely on word of mouth and a Facebook page, and for a while that works. The trouble is what happens the moment someone doesn't already know you.
- They Google you and find nothing. A new customer hears your name, searches it, and lands on a thin social page or a competitor. That warm lead just went cold.
- A DIY builder site quietly undersells you. Free Wix and GoDaddy templates look like free Wix and GoDaddy templates. People notice, and they judge your work by it.
- Word of mouth caps your growth. Referrals are gold, but they only reach the people already in your circle. A website works while you sleep, for anyone searching.
- Competitors with a proper site win the call. When two businesses do the same job, the one that looks trustworthy online gets the phone call. Often that's the only difference.
What a proper small business website actually does
A good website isn't a brochure you're proud of, it's a machine that turns attention into enquiries. Here's the real job it does for you.
- Turns a Google search into a phone call or a filled-in enquiry form, with your number one tap away.
- Builds trust in seconds. Clean design, real photos and genuine reviews tell a stranger you're the safe choice before they've read a word.
- Answers the obvious questions. Your work, your prices, your hours and the area you cover, all in one place, so people call ready to book.
- Works one-tap on mobile, where most of your visitors are. No pinching, no zooming, no lag.
- Gets you found locally, so when someone searches for what you do near Telford, you're in the running instead of nowhere.
Built for the businesses that keep Telford running
This is web design for the trades and local services that do the real work: builders, electricians and plumbers; salons and barbers; dog groomers and mobile pet care; window cleaners and domestic cleaners; caterers and cafes; tutors and coaches; and any mobile service that covers Shropshire from a van. If you're any good at what you do, your website should say so, and it should cost far less than the extra jobs it wins you. It starts free, so there's no risk in finding out.
Not quite what you're after? I also handle a full website redesign if you already have a site, ecommerce web design if you sell products online, and hospitality web design for pubs, inns and B&Bs that take direct bookings.

Small business website questions, answered.
How much does a small business website cost?
From £897 as a one-off, at a fixed price we agree before you pay a penny. There's an optional £49 a month Care Plan if you'd like ongoing hosting, edits and updates handled for you, but it's never compulsory. Best of all, you see your site built free first and only pay if you love it.
I only have a Facebook page, is that a problem?
Not at all, a Facebook page is a great start. It usually has your photos, reviews, opening hours and the tone of your business already, so I can build a proper website from what's publicly out there, no big questionnaire needed.
Will people find my new site on Google?
Every build gets the technical SEO done: titles, descriptions, structured data, alt text and a sitemap, so Google can read and index it properly. To be honest, ranking well also needs your Google Business Profile set up and a steady trickle of reviews and content over time. I help you get the profile right and point you in the right direction, and a fast, well-built site gives you the best possible foundation to grow from.
Do I need to write all the content myself?
No. Send me a few bullet points about what you do, who you help and your prices or packages, and I shape it into clear, professional copy for you. Photos can come later: I can build with placeholders and swap in your real images when you're ready.
Zero pressure
