Website design for UK small businesses

Website design for small businesses that need customers, not just a website

Most small business websites are a digital business card. They look fine, they sit on page three of Google, and they bring in almost nothing. That is not because the business is bad. It is because a five-page site gives Google very little reason to show it to anyone.

We build small business websites around the one thing that matters: being found and chosen by local customers. That means lots of genuinely useful pages, a steady flow of fresh Google reviews, and a simple system to keep the work organised behind the scenes. If you work in a trade, our page on website design for tradesmen goes into more detail.

Why a small website struggles on Google

When someone searches for a service near them, Google looks for the business that seems most relevant, most local and most trusted. A single homepage and a contact form cannot be the most relevant result for every service you offer in every town you cover.

A site with a proper page for each service and each area gives Google something to match to each of those searches. Add a strong, recent set of reviews and you look like the obvious choice, both to Google and to the person searching.

What we build for you

  • ●A 40+ page website covering each service you offer and each area you work in, written around what your customers actually ask.
  • ●A design made for your type of business, not a generic template, so it leads with what your customers care about most.
  • ●Automatic Google review requests by text and email after each job, with a few polite follow-ups and then nothing more.
  • ●A dashboard for customers, jobs and notes, where you can also change your own services, prices and photos whenever you like.
  • ●Pages Google can read straight away, built as real HTML with the technical details handled for you.

One monthly plan, not a big agency bill

Some agencies charge £100 a page or more, so a 50-page website could cost around £5,000 before it has brought in a single customer. We do it differently: one monthly plan covers the website, the review requests and the dashboard, and we agree it with you on a short call once we understand your business.

See your site before you commit

It starts with a free report on your business: what's missing online, where local competitors are getting ahead of you, and what the package would change. We show you the business design we'd use and agree the price with you on a short call. Once you're happy, we build your full site, usually within a couple of days.

Common questions

How much does a small business website cost?

With us, one monthly plan covers the website, automatic review requests and the dashboard, agreed with you on a short call once we understand your business. For comparison, some agencies charge £100 a page or more, so a 50-page website could cost around £5,000 on its own.

What kinds of small business do you build for?

Service businesses whose customers find them on Google and check reviews before getting in touch, such as plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers and barbers. See our industries page for the full current list, and ask if yours is not there yet.

Why do I need 40+ pages? Customers only look at a few.

Customers only need a few, but Google needs a page that matches each search. A page for each service and area means you can be found for far more of the searches your customers make, and each visitor lands on a page about exactly what they want.

Do I need a Google Business Profile?

Yes. It is where most local customers first see you, and our review requests send customers straight to it. If you do not have one yet, set it up with Google first and come back once it is verified.

Can I make changes myself?

Yes. You edit services, prices and photos from your dashboard and rebuild the site yourself whenever you like, without paying anyone or waiting.
