Web design and redesign

A straightforward website service for trades and small businesses that want a modern site without complicated tools or jargon.

I design and refresh websites so that customers can see what you do, trust you and contact you quickly. The focus is on clear wording, a simple layout and sensible security basics such as safer contact forms and better data handling.

This service is well suited to trades, local services and small firms that rely on their website for enquiries and first impressions rather than complex online systems.

All work is scoped up front. You receive a clear plan, a simple price and support in plain English. There are no long contracts and no pressure to buy extra services.

What this service includes

New or refreshed website

I can create a new site from scratch or tidy up an existing one that no longer shows your business in the best light.

  • Clear home page that explains what you do and the areas you cover
  • Service pages that describe how you work and what customers can expect
  • Contact page with simple enquiry options and clear next steps

The aim is a site that feels calm and confident rather than crowded, with a layout that works well on phones, tablets and desktops.

Security and privacy aware build

The design work is combined with a basic security mindset. I keep forms, simple data handling and privacy wording in view from the start.

  • Contact forms set up with sensible required fields and spam protection where suitable
  • Simple checks for obvious issues such as insecure links or exposed details
  • Clear privacy notes that explain what information you collect and why

This is not a deep technical audit, but it does mean your public site is less likely to cause avoidable problems for you or your customers.

Who this is for

Typical clients

The service is designed for people who want a simple, reliable site rather than a complex online store or large content platform.

  • Trades such as plumbers, electricians, decorators and roofers
  • Local services such as cleaners, gardeners and tutors
  • Freelancers and small firms that work mainly on a project or retainer basis

If you are not sure whether your needs are a good fit, we can discuss it on a short call and decide together.

Results you can expect

The goal is a site that works quietly in the background while you focus on the work itself.

  • Customers understand what you offer and how to reach you in a few seconds
  • Your business looks more organised and trustworthy online
  • You feel more confident sending people to your website from messages or adverts

Many clients pair this with a small business cyber health check so that email, devices and backups are improved at the same time.

How the process works

Simple four step approach

The process is kept as light as possible so that it fits around your normal work.

  • Initial chat to understand your business, goals and any existing website
  • Outline plan and quote that set out the scope, pages and timescales
  • Design and build phase with check in points so you can give feedback
  • Launch, final tidy up and a short guide so you can change basic text and images

Most work is done remotely. If you prefer, we can screen share to walk through draft pages and wording together.

Website, security and reminders together

For trades and local services there is an option to combine this with cyber health checks and the customer reminder service.

  • New or refreshed website that explains your services and contact options
  • Basic security check across email, devices and simple backups
  • Reminder setup so customers receive messages before and after visits

This gives you one point of contact and a single, clear price instead of several separate projects to juggle.

If you would like to discuss a new site or a redesign, I can talk through your ideas on a short call and suggest a sensible starting point. Prices are agreed in advance and tailored to the size of the work.
