After an initial conversation, we will provide a clear, itemised quotation so you understand what is included before work begins. There is no one-size-fits-all price, but there will be no vague estimates or unexpected extras.

Yes. Every new website includes essential SEO foundations, so it is structured properly for search engines and visitors from day one.

Yes. Your website will be designed to work well across desktop computers, tablets and mobile phones. This is essential, as many people will visit your site from their phone first.
I test layouts, menus, forms, buttons and key content across different screen sizes before launch, so visitors can use the site comfortably wherever they are.

I can show you how to make straightforward updates, or I can take care of them for you through an ongoing support arrangement. You can choose the level of involvement that suits you.
Yes. Sometimes a full rebuild is the right answer, but often an existing site can be improved with better design, clearer content, faster performance, stronger calls to action or improved SEO foundations.

Yes. You will own the website content and the finished website created for your business, once the agreed project costs have been paid.

Hosting, domains and support
Yes. we can arrange secure, reliable website hosting and help with domain names, email setup, renewals and DNS changes.
If you already have a domain name or hosting account, that is fine too. We will review what you have, explain the options and help make sure everything is set up properly.
Yes. we can help move websites, domains and email services between providers, including the technical side such as DNS records and email authentication.
Every move is planned carefully to reduce disruption. Before making changes, we will explain what is happening, what access is needed and anything you need to do at your end.
Most websites have a few ongoing costs, usually including domain renewal, website hosting and, where needed, maintenance, security updates, backups or ongoing support.
The exact costs depend on your setup and the services you choose. I will explain these clearly before your website goes live, so you understand what is essential, what is optional and when payments are due.

That is completely normal. Websites should not be treated as something you launch once and never touch again. You may need new pages, updated services, fresh images, seasonal offers, blog posts or small changes as your business develops.
You can make straightforward updates yourself if you prefer, or send them to me. I will let you know what is involved and give you a clear cost before carrying out anything outside your agreed support plan.
