From day one your site will have SEO foundations in place: sensible structure, fast loads, schema markup, image optimisation and properly configured SEO tools.

Ongoing SEO
I can help you climb the rankings for Leatherhead and Surrey searches through content creation, on-page optimisation and local SEO.
My simple, stress-free process
- Discovery call – a quick video chat to understand your goals, audience and priorities.
- Wireframes & content – I map layouts and shape content so every page has a clear role.
- Design & build – your site comes to life on a private staging link with clean code and easy editing.

Typical timelines and budgets
Most small-business sites take 3–6 weeks depending on content readiness. Costs are fixed and transparent, with optional care plans to keep your site running smoothly. If you already have a website, I can improve it rather than rebuild from scratch if that’s the smarter option.

FAQs
Do you only build brand-new websites?
Not necessarily. If your existing site has potential, I’ll suggest improvements before a full rebuild.
Can you help us register a domain and set up email?
Yes. I take care of the technical setup so your business looks professional from the start.
How quickly can you complete a Leatherhead project?
Most small business sites take 4–6 weeks, though simpler jobs can be quicker if content is ready.
Will my website work well on phones and tablets?
Absolutely. All builds are mobile-first, so your site looks and works great on any screen size.
Can we make updates ourselves once it’s live?
Yes — you’ll get an editor-friendly WordPress site with a short video handover so you’re confident editing.
Do you provide training or support after launch?
I offer care plans that include updates, backups, and support, plus I’m available for quick advice.
Will the site be optimised for Google?
Yes. From fast loading to clean structure and on-page SEO, your site will be ready to rank locally.
What if we don’t have content yet?
I can help draft persuasive copy or connect you with a local photographer for images, so the project keeps moving.
