Sound familiar?
Is your website quietly costing you enquiries?
Plenty of small business websites look fine at a glance — but underneath they're unclear, slow, outdated, hard to update, or missing a simple way for customers to get in touch.
Visitors can't quickly tell what you do or where you work
The site feels slow or awkward on mobile
Contact details are buried, or the form doesn't work properly
You can't update content yourself without calling someone
You're getting fewer enquiries than you'd expect from local search
None of this needs to be dramatic — but small friction adds up. A clearer site, a working enquiry flow and sensible local SEO can make a real difference to how many people actually get in touch.

FAQ
Straight answers to the questions local business owners ask most often.
How much does a small business website cost?
Most starter local websites start from around £495, with fuller business websites from £950. If you're not sure what you need, a website health check from £95 is a good place to start. I'll always explain the options clearly before anything begins.
Do I need a new website or can you improve my current one?
Often both are possible. Sometimes a refresh, better structure or working contact form is enough. Other times a new site makes more sense. I'll be honest about what will actually help — not push you into unnecessary work.
Can you help with contact forms and enquiries?
Yes — this is one of the most common requests. I build contact forms and enquiry flows that send structured messages straight to your inbox, so you're less likely to miss leads.
Do you work only in Frome?
I'm based in Frome but work with small businesses across Somerset, Wiltshire and the Bath area. Local face-to-face chats are welcome, but plenty of projects work well remotely too.
Can you host the website for me?
Yes. I set up fast, reliable hosting on Vercel with modern deployment. Your site stays quick and secure, and I can handle updates when you need them.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes — ongoing support starts from £45/month. That covers practical help with updates, fixes and small changes so your site keeps working properly as your business evolves.
