From £950 or £695 with a monthly plan
Sound familiar?
Most of the websites I'm asked to replace have the same few problems. Hover over one to see the fix.
- It looks dated next to your competitors A custom design built around your business, so you look as good online as your work does in person.
- It's awkward to use on a phone Designed for phones first. For most small businesses that's where the majority of visitors are - your Google Search Console data will usually show it.
- Nobody finds it on Google Titles, headings, schema and page speed done properly from day one, with Search Console set up and your pages submitted.
- People look, then leave without getting in touch A clear next step on every page - call, form or booking - and copy that answers the questions people actually ask.
- It's slow to load Lean, custom-coded pages with no page builder or plugins. My recent builds score 97 to 100 for performance on Google PageSpeed Insights.
- Changing anything is a hassle Send me what you need. Updates are part of your monthly plan, so you never have to touch the code.
What every website includes
Nothing hiding in the small print. Every build comes with all of this as standard.
Custom design
Designed from scratch for your business. No themes, no templates and no page builders.
Copy written for you
I write the words, structured to read well and rank. Already have copy? I'll tighten it up.
Images sourced
I'll find the right images for every page - though your own photos always work best, so send them over.
Phone-first build
Built for phones first, then tested across tablets and desktops so it works wherever people find you.
Fast, clean code
Custom-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so pages load quickly and there's nothing bloated to break.
SEO foundations
Page titles, descriptions, headings, schema and image optimisation on every page from launch.
Enquiries made easy
A contact form and clear calls to action, with enquiries sent straight to your inbox.
Search Console set up
Connected and submitted, so Google finds your pages and you can see how people search for you.
30 days of free fixes
If anything isn't right after launch, I'll fix it free for the first 30 days.
Website packages
A fixed written price before any work starts, with a timescale for your build.

What clients say
Every review here is from my Google Business Profile.
Dan really understood my vision and created a website that perfectly reflects my salon and brand. Communication was excellent, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Dan created my Plumbing & Heating company a new, modern website and now runs my SEO monthly. He's quick to respond and has been very professional throughout.
Really pleased with the website Dan built for me. He made the whole thing straightforward, explained everything properly and was always on hand if I needed him. I even got my first orders in the first week.
Very prompt, professional and extremely helpful when creating my website. He took the time to answer all my questions and made the entire process smooth and hassle-free.
Very happy with my website build & SEO from Dan, highly recommend.
Questions about website builds
If your question isn't here, get in touch. Happy to have a straightforward chat about what you need.
How much does a website cost?
A Starter website is from £950 and a Business website from £1,750 - or £695 and £1,450 if you sign up to a monthly plan for at least 6 months. Online shops are quoted on request. Every project gets a fixed written quote before any work starts. See full pricing.
How long does it take?
Most small business websites take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on size and my workload at the time. Your quote always includes a timescale, so you know when to expect it before we start.
Do you write the content?
Yes - copywriting is included in every build. I'll write it from what we cover in the consultation, and you can change anything before it goes live. If you already have copy, I'll tighten it up for readers and for Google.
What about photos and images?
I'll source suitable images for every page. Your own photos of your work, your team and your premises always work better, though, so send over anything you have and I'll prepare it for the web.
How many rounds of changes do I get?
You'll see weekly previews while I build, and I'll keep making changes until you're happy, within the scope we agreed. If you decide you want something new part-way through, like extra pages, I'll quote for it before doing it.
What do you build websites with?
Most sites are custom-coded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript - no WordPress and no page builders. That keeps them fast and secure, with nothing to update or patch. For online shops I build a custom Shopify theme instead. You can see recent builds here.
Can I edit the website myself?
You don't need to. Changes are handled by me as part of your monthly plan - just send over what you need. The Care plan at £50 a month includes hosting, security, backups and up to 30 minutes of small changes each month. Shopify shops are the exception: you can add and edit products yourself.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every build includes the SEO foundations and Search Console setup, so Google can find and understand your pages from launch. Ranking well for competitive searches takes ongoing work - that's what my SEO and local search service and the Grow plan are for.
I'm starting a new business - where do I start?
The New Business Launch package covers your name, logo and brand basics, domain, business email, website and Google Business Profile, planned together and handled by one person.
Do you only work with Sussex businesses?
No. I'm based in Hassocks and happy to meet Sussex clients in person, but the build itself happens over video calls, email and weekly previews, so I work with businesses anywhere in the UK - recent sites include a studio in Southampton and a salon in Somerset.
