Basic Websites

Simple Small Business Websites

Are you seeking simple, cheap website design for your small business? If you don’t have the time or inclination to edit it yourself, a basic website (aka a “static site”) may be all you need.

While my affordable website packages make most online marketing strategies easier and more cost-effective, not everyone needs that. Some firms are happy to rely on paid ads and offline marketing like vehicle livery and word-of-mouth. So if you know those work for you and don’t expect your basic website content to change much, learning to edit your site can seem like a hassle.

That’s why I offer these basic websites from just £600.

Why Choose Static Sites?

Customers and search engines prefer up-to-date content. So most firms prefer editable sites that let them make text and image changes in-house. Those “dynamic” sites run on databases that can also handle complex stuff like membership systems, advanced forms, and full e-commerce.

If you don’t need complex features though, we can drop the database and a lot of code. That makes static websites simpler, faster and more secure than dynamic sites.

What Can Basic Websites Do?

Static sites are normally limited to basic “brochure” websites. Still, basic doesn’t have to mean boring.

Even basic websites can support interactive maps, videos, galleries, sliders, animations, social feeds and popups. Crucially, they can also support (simple) custom enquiry forms and let visitors download resources like PDFs.

Professionally-built basic websites like these can also adapt to multiple screen sizes (aka “responsive web design”) to present your offers effectively on desktop and mobile devices. So basic sites can be an effective way to inform your customers and gather leads.

While editing static sites normally requires coding skills, I can make selected sections more easily editable if needed. This could be enough to let you update details that may change regularly like prices, menus or your recent projects.

Finally, these basic sites can also be extended to support simple online payments (e.g. donations or sales of individual items). Still, if you want a simple shopping cart or product catalogue system, you’ll find my budget websites more flexible and cost-effective.

    Pete has been patience personified, helping me to navigate a website I inherited for an event I am responsible for. But for him I would probably have broken the back end repeatedly.

    Pete has been incredibly helpful and supportive, above and beyond what was required. We're a tiny business, and from helping with the initial web design to SEO advice and inevitable tweaks and changes as the business develops, Pete has been patient and full of sage advice. We cannot recommend him more highly!

    Can't recommend him highly enough. He was extremely professional, laid out exactly what we needed to do and his role within that, setting expectations all round very clearly, and working within our budgetary constraints to set clear boundaries. He was extremely prompt and punctual in his responses and work. He was also extremely patient with his recommendations and explanations, which were clear and simple to follow. Excellent value for us as a charity. We're very grateful to him - he was a real pleasure to work with.

    It is a pleasure dealing with a professional with a high degree of technical skill allied to a ‘can do’ positive attitude. Your ability to explain technical concepts in layman’s language is also a great advantage. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services.

    Pete is one of the most creative, reliable, competent and ingenious people it has ever been my very great pleasure to work with. There is no problem he can’t find an ingenious and unexpected way out of, and he has a work ethic you could bend horseshoes around. I cannot recommend him highly enough for his breadth and depth of knowledge and his total commitment to whichever project he is currently undertaking.

    DogLost is the UK’s largest community of pet owners and rescuers. Other developers have struggled to meet our needs, but since Peter rebuilt our site and support systems we have gone from strength to strength, winning major awards including the 2013 Innovation Award from the International Fund for Animal Welfare. We couldn’t have done that without him.

We wanted a system that was easy to navigate and look good when customers shop online.Pete made the whole process simple and dealing with him was a great pleasure. He can't do enough to help and solve any problem that may arise. I would highly recommend Pete for his experience and knowledge and total dedication to see the project through to final conclusion.Steve H.
