Affordable Web Design

For business and personal websites

A monochrome image of a computer

Are you struggling to decide who to ask to build your BRAND NEW Website?

Have you searched Google and become overwhelmed with hundreds of choices of affordable web design companies in Glastonbury and Somerset, all offering you complicated-sounding packages with not much time to speak to you on a one-to-one basis?

Or you may have found some ‘affordable’ web design freelancers that offer cheap websites, don’t be fooled affordable is not cheap affordable is good quality cheap website design will leave you out of pocket, with a cheap and nasty website that does not bring you leads and new business.

Have you still found no real solution?

Don’t worry you are not alone.

In fact around 9 out of 10 people just like you face this problem.

Recently I was speaking with someone, just like you, who had done the “Google Search Marathon” – trawling through dozens of web design websites, where most of them simply didn’t have any useful information at all! Their search efforts left them so overwhelmed they just gave up, with a headache and nothing to show for their efforts!

So as you can tell, this is not a small problem, and not a problem just faced by you

Gentle Yoga by Thalia

Yoga Teachers Website

Richard’s services simply brilliant! My past experiences with website builders and developers have been people who are just interested in taking an annual hosting fee at inflated fees and who have turned out to be unavailable for resolving any issues with my website.

Richard is the complete opposite. He keeps an eye on my website and is always on hand to update it as and when it’s needed. I now have complete peace of mind that my site will always be running smoothly so that I keep my online presence and don’t lose clients as a result of glitches or technical developments with search engines such as Google. Richard also offers great rates and is a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend all of his services!

Richard designed me a fantastic affordable website. He didn't blind me with "techy" details or try and push me to spend more than I could afford. A diligent, patient chap who I can highly recommend. If there ever has been a "glitch" on the website he has sorted it out immediately. No nasty hidden costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve been quoted 4 times more than what you’re charging. How do you do it?

That’s the beauty of modular website design!
You can pick and choose what you want for your website.

Other companies will put together a complicated proposal, use all sorts of technical terms that confuse you, whack a massive price on it, and there you have it – you’ll be paying 4x more than you would with me.

 

Are there any hidden charges?

No hidden charges. You’ll be guided through the order process which is as transparent as possible, and there’ll be loads of opportunity to ask questions.

How does my website generate new business?

Once your website is complete, it is ready to start taking leads and get you new business. To get those leads you will need visitors (traffic). There are various methods to get visitors, like PPC (pay per click) or SEO (search engine optimisation). I provide specific packages designed to increase traffic to your website, and I am happy to talk you through the process of how this works.

 

 

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. This means your not paying for software to manage and run your website.

What is a WordPress Theme?

A WordPress Theme is the way the site is displayed, without modifying the underlying software. I build all your websites using the Divi theme; one of the world’s most popular and supported WordPress themes. Developed by Elegant Themes, Divi is constantly updated, with new features added regularly.

Do I have to learn web design myself after you finish?
That’s up to you. Basic training is provided when your website is finished, but I also provide managed options if you want a tailor-made solution just for you.
What if I don't like what you've done?

Ha! Hardly likely, but if you aren’t happy with your lovely new website, we can change what you don’t like and make sure you are happy.

After all your happiness is my goal.
