Small business website design
Small business website design: The Launch
Your new site, built and live in four to six weeks. From £4,000.
20 years in marketing, 8 years building websites, more than 60 of them, and 48 five-star Google reviews.
You have run your business for years and it does well. Most of your work comes from people who already know you. The website was built a while back and you hesitate now when someone asks for the address. You know it is costing you work, and you would rather pay someone to build it once and build it right.
The Launch is the website I build for businesses like yours. I design it, I build it, and I do the research and the SEO that get it found. You do not pay a web designer and then an SEO consultant on top.
What you get
Up to six pages, designed for your business and built in WordPress. Each extra page is £400.
A strategy call before anything is designed. The site is built around your goals, your best clients and what you sell.
Competitor and keyword research first, so every page is built around what your customers type into Google.
Technical and on-page SEO done as the site is built. Google and AI tools can read it from launch day.
Your old pages mapped and redirected if you are replacing a site, so you keep the rankings you have already earned.
Testing on phones, tablets and desktops before it goes live.
Google Analytics and Search Console connected. You can see who is finding you and how.
A Friday email every week. You always know where things are and what I need from you next.
Training at handover, with a video made for your site. You can make everyday changes without calling anyone.
A fixed price in writing before you commit.
What it costs
The Launch is £4,000 for up to six pages. Each page after that is £400.
I recommend the number of pages. Each service you offer, and each area you want to be found in, usually needs a page of its own. I would rather tell you that at the start than after launch.
Your proposal gives the page count and the price in writing before you commit. That price does not move afterwards unless you ask for something we had not planned for.
I am not VAT registered, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Quoted separately, and only if you want them: copywriting, photography, branding, booking systems, memberships and online shops.

Every site comes with my care plan at £65 a month. It covers updates, backups, security monitoring and 15 minutes of small content changes each month.
This is for you if
- You run an established business and your website no longer matches it.
- You want to be found on Google by people who do not already know you.
- You would rather pay once for the design and the SEO together.
This is not for you if
- You are looking for the cheapest way to get online. A DIY builder is a fair place to start, and I will tell you so on the call.

A strategy call, then competitor research, keyword research and the site plan.

Design and build
You give feedback at agreed stages and hear from me every Friday.

Testing and launch
The site is tested across devices, the on-page SEO is finished, and Analytics and Search Console are connected.
7
Training and handover
I show you how to make everyday edits and read your numbers.
Most builds take four to six weeks from your start date.
What clients have seen
300 clicks
Barn Drift Norfolk had 300 clicks from Google in the first 28 days after a full rebuild.
Number one
Vintage Vehicle Restorations reached number one on Google for their chosen keyword within three months. Three years later they are still there.
Better enquiries
Jeremy Moulsdale, sculptor, told me two months after launch that the quality of his enquiries had improved a great deal.
The new website visually is absolutely fantastic but more importantly it is user friendly, optimised well and the SEO is already working its magic. Almost instantly I was noticing more enquiries coming through the website.
Craig Williams
Mastercraft Shutters, Sussex
I was very nervous about the whole process, but she guided me through it from start to finish, with clarity, insight and expertise. I would absolutely recommend her if you're thinking about a new website.

Sculptor
We recently updated and expanded the site with Melissa's help, guidance and savvy advice, and now have more customers and enquiries than ever! It's definitely working for us.

How long does it take?
Four to six weeks from your start date, depending on the number of pages.
How much of my time will it need?
About four to five hours to gather your copy, images and logins. I give you a copy guide to make the writing easier.
What if I need more than six pages?
Most of my clients do. Each extra page is £400, so an eight-page site is £4,800.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No, and anyone who does is not being straight with you. Nobody controls Google. I can promise a site that is built on research and optimised to give you the strongest chance of ranking. Rankings usually take three to six months to build.
What are the ongoing costs?
Your domain name, usually £10 to £20 a year, and the care plan at £65 a month.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. I walk you through text changes, image swaps and adding new content, and you have your training video to go back to.
