IS THIS THE RIGHT WEBSITE FOR YOU?
Sometimes, a smaller website is all your business needs.
Not every business needs dozens of pages. If your services are straightforward and you mainly need somewhere professional for potential customers to learn about your business and contact you, five well-planned pages can be more than enough.
The Essential Website gives you the essentials without paying for pages or features you don’t need.
Small Businesses
A great starting point for small and owner-managed businesses that need a professional website.
Straightforward Services
Ideal when your services can be explained clearly without needing lots of individual service pages.
New Businesses
Build a professional online presence from the beginning, with the right foundations already in place.
Existing Businesses
Replace an outdated or basic website with something that better represents your business today.

YOUR WEBSITE STRUCTURE

Your website doesn’t have to follow this exact structure. We’ll choose the five pages that make the most sense for your business, services and customers.
BUILT ON THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS
A smaller website still deserves professional foundations.
Choosing an Essential Website doesn’t mean compromising on how your website is built. You’ll still get the same professional platform and essential technical foundations I use across my website packages.
WordPress
Your website will be built on WordPress, giving you a flexible and established platform that can grow and develop alongside your business.
Astra Premium
I use Astra Premium as the foundation for your website, providing a lightweight and flexible framework for creating professional business websites.
Elementor
Your pages are built using Elementor, making it easier to create flexible layouts and make straightforward changes to your website in the future.
SEO Foundations
AIOSEO is installed and configured alongside essential on-page SEO, including page titles, meta descriptions, sitemap setup and a clear website structure.
Search Engines
Your website will be submitted to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, helping search engines discover, crawl and index your pages.
Mobile Responsive
Your website is designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile, with layouts adjusted to provide a clear experience on different screen sizes.
Security & SSL
SSL and sensible website security measures are put in place to help protect your website and provide visitors with a secure connection.
Speed & Performance
Images, page layouts and the website structure are built with performance in mind, avoiding unnecessary features and complexity wherever possible.
You don’t need to understand any of the technical side. I’ll take care of the setup and make sure the foundations are in place before your website goes live.
NEED SOMETHING EXTRA?
Start with the essentials. Add more when you need it.
Your website doesn’t have to stay at five pages forever.
If your business grows or you decide you need more content, additional pages and features can be added.
5 Additional Service Pages — £497
10 Additional Service Pages — £897
5 Location Pages — £397
10 Location Pages — £697
Individual Blog — £125
FAQ & AI Search Content — £97 per service/page
Smart Enquiry System — £297
If you already know you need several individual service pages or a larger website structure, the Business Website package at £1,397 may offer better value from the outset.
AFTER LAUNCH
We'll keep looking after the technical side.
You don’t need to worry about hosting, updates or maintaining the technical side of your website after it goes live.
Website Care — £25/month
Hosting, maintenance, updates and ongoing website support without an expensive marketing contract.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about your Essential Website.
I’ve kept the Essential Website package straightforward, but it’s natural to have questions before starting a new website. Here are answers to some of the things I’m most often asked.
The Simple Website package includes a professionally designed WordPress website with up to five pages, built around your business and branding.
It includes mobile-responsive design, essential SEO foundations, search engine setup and the technical work required to get your website ready to launch.
We'll agree what's included before the project begins.
A page is normally a substantive customer-facing page such as Home, About, Services, Our Work, Reviews or Contact.
We'll agree the most appropriate five-page structure for your business before the website is built.
Yes. If your requirements fit within the Essential Website package, the website build is £897.
If you request additional pages or functionality outside the package, I'll explain any additional cost before carrying out the work.
There shouldn't be a surprise invoice at the end of the project.
For many small businesses, yes.
If you have a straightforward range of services, five well-planned pages can provide everything customers need to understand your business and get in touch.
If you have several important services that would benefit from their own individual pages, I'll tell you if the Business Website package would be a better starting point.
You'll need to provide the core information about your business, services and anything specific that needs to appear on the website.
I'll help organise that information into a sensible structure and make sure it's presented clearly.
If you need additional content created, we can discuss that separately.
If you have good-quality photographs of your business, team, premises or work, I'd recommend using them wherever possible.
Where appropriate, suitable licensed stock imagery or other visual assets can also be used to support the design.
The timescale depends on the website and how quickly the information, content and feedback required for the build are provided.
I'll give you an expected schedule once we've discussed your project and know what's involved.
Yes. Your website will be built to work across desktop, tablet and mobile.
Mobile responsiveness is part of the package, not an optional extra.
Your Essential Website includes all the SEO foundations needed when launching a professional website, including page titles, meta descriptions, sitemap setup, website structure and search engine submission.
It doesn't include an ongoing managed SEO campaign or guarantee particular Google rankings.
Yes. Your website can grow with your business.
Additional service pages, location pages, blogs, FAQ content and other features can be added later if you need them.
Yes. Once the agreed project has been completed and paid for, the website I've built for your business is yours.
You're not renting the website or tied into an expensive website contract simply to keep it.
You can leave the technical side with me.
Website Care is £25 per month and covers hosting, maintenance, updates and ongoing website support.
