Getting Started
Let’s Talk!
Web projects vary a lot. Since 1997, I’ve designed, built and helped to promote everything from one-page websites to advanced, bespoke-coded community systems. Across that wide range of projects, some common questions keep cropping up:
Please check those out, then book a free consultation call to discuss:
- Your current situation
- Your goals — the problems you hope the project will solve
- An overview of how to get from where you are to where you want to be
- The next steps to take
Web Design & SEO Price Ranges
Naturally, price queries are especially common — but every business has different requirements, and some are ready to invest more to compete than others. So over the past 20 years, I’ve developed ranges of solutions to suit every budget:
- Bespoke Web Development from £6k — unique systems coded to manage unique business processes.
- Professional Web Design and WordPress Development from £3k — for established small firms and startups who need something special.
- Affordable Small Business Website Design from £1.5k — extremely cost-effective, flexible packages with manageable payment plans for small startups and sole traders who are serious about success.
- Budget Web Design from £750 — simpler brochure websites and e-commerce sites for limited budgets. Less flexible than the options above, but still editable and more cost-effective than other cheap web design solutions.
- Basic Web Design and One Page Websites from £60/month — “static” (non-editable) sites for those who prefer offline/paid marketing to SEO and are too busy to edit content.
- Affordable Small Business SEO Packages from £195 per month — essential for small firms who want to attract free search engine traffic.
- Budget SEO from £120 per month — for those on tight budgets who don’t want to be left behind.
- Content Marketing Services from £75 — because “content is king” (and critical for SEO) but writing content that attracts visitors is a lot harder than it looks.
- Video Marketing Services from £200 — videos boost sales because they engage more senses, making them more memorable than most other forms of marketing
- Easy Review Gathering from £30/month — testimonials influence over 90% of sales and SEO. Yet collecting and managing genuine customer reviews can get tricky. This system makes it easy, at a fraction of the cost of similar services.
What Comparison Sites Don't Tell You
“Free” comparison sites sell your contact details to multiple vendors. They often do so without telling you, charging vendors prices that force small firms to put theirs up (or miss lots of leads). Some even put those prices up for service providers you select, making us less likely to respond. Sadly, many such enquiries have no real plans or budget, so the cost of these “leads” adds up fast.
Still, while the resulting flurry of calls and emails can be offputting (and even unexpected), please don’t ghost vendors who reply to your enquiry. They have paid for a chance to help with the project you asked about.
Better yet, don’t use comparison sites for vague research. Look up vendors’ websites instead. That’s what they’re for. You’ll then be much better informed about our prices, capabilities, reviews and contact details — and can talk to us for free.
