Web design · Dudley, West Midlands
Web design in Dudley.
I'm based in Telford, about 40 minutes away, so a Dudley business gets a genuinely local designer you can actually meet, and a full working website built free before you pay a penny. Love it, and it's yours to keep for £99, with an optional £149 a month to look after it. Want it fully managed from day one? Then it's just £149 a month straight up.
Close by, and genuinely on your side
I'm in Telford, about 40 minutes from Dudley, so working with me is still properly local rather than an agency in another city passing you round a team you'll never meet. If it helps to pop over and photograph the shop, walk the unit, or sit down over a coffee to plan it out, I can be with you the same week.
That closeness shows up in the work. I get how Dudley actually trades, who your customers are, and what your corner of the Black Country looks like, so the site feels like it belongs here rather than being stamped out to a formula.
Built for the capital of the Black Country
Dudley wears its history on its skyline: the castle on the hill with the zoo in its grounds, the Black Country Living Museum pulling in coach-loads of visitors and the odd film crew, and the canals that carried the Industrial Revolution out of these hills. Around it sit Brierley Hill and the Merry Hill crowds, Stourbridge and its glass, Halesowen, Kingswinford and Sedgley.
It's a place that respects graft and has no patience for flannel, and its businesses are the same: trades, workshops, food, family firms. Customers here still choose with a search on a phone, and they choose fast.
So a Dudley business site has two jobs at once. It has to sound like you, straight-talking and real, and it has to look sharper than every rival on the page. Build for both, and the website starts pulling its weight.
I build these for local businesses like yours
Whatever you do, the approach is the same. Whether you're a trade covering the borough, a shop under the castle, or a business feeding the Merry Hill footfall, I build a site that looks the part and earns its keep, made to fit you rather than dropped in from a shelf.
What you get
- Art-directed around your business, not a swapped-out template
- Mobile-first, tested at a true 390px phone width where most of your customers actually look
- Technical SEO built in, so you show up when Dudley searches for what you do
- Google Business Profile help so you earn your place in the local map pack
- You own 100% of the files, with no lock-in and no rented template

Hospitality web designFair questions
Dudley questions, answered.
Are you local to Dudley?
Yes, close enough to count. I'm based in Telford, about 40 minutes away, so I can be in Dudley the same week whenever meeting up helps. I'd rather meet you than only ever email.
Can we meet up?
Happily. I can come to your Dudley premises to talk it through, photograph the shop or unit, and see how you actually work, whether you're under the castle, out at Merry Hill, or in Stourbridge's glass quarter. Being close by is the whole point.
How much does a website cost?
There's no big lump sum. I build a working demo of your site first, for free, so you only pay once you've seen it and love it. Then it's just £99 and the website is yours to keep, finished and on your own domain. After that it's your choice: £149 a month for me to host it and look after everything (hosting, security, unlimited changes, SEO and speed), or host it yourself. No contract, no pressure either way.
Can I skip the £99 and go straight to the monthly plan?
Yes. If you'd rather have it all handled from day one, it's simply £149 a month straight up and we get going: the build, hosting, unlimited changes, SEO and support are all included, with no £99 to pay. You still see your free demo first, and you can cancel any time.
Will my Dudley business get found on Google?
That's the aim. Every site includes technical SEO, and I'll help set up your Google Business Profile and reviews, which is what feeds the local map pack when someone nearby searches. I'll always be honest that local ranking builds over weeks, it isn't an overnight switch.
Zero pressure
