Web design for Staffordshire small businesses
If you run a small business anywhere in Staffordshire, you already know the problem with getting a website built. The quotes come back somewhere between £1,000 and £5,000, hosting is extra, changes are extra, and you are asked to hand over a large chunk of money before the thing has earned you a penny.
I work differently. I build proper websites for small businesses across Staffordshire for £99 a month, with design, build, hosting, your domain name and SSL certificate all rolled into the one payment. Most sites go live in about a week.
I am Stu, based in Stoke-on-Trent, and I have been building websites for fifteen years. When you work with me you deal with the person actually doing the work. There is no account manager, no sales team, and nothing gets outsourced.
Why local matters more than you would think
Plenty of the web design companies bidding for Staffordshire work are not in Staffordshire. They will happily take the job, but they have never been to Hanley on a Saturday, do not know that Longton and Longsdon are different places, and cannot tell you which local directories actually send you enquiries.
For a business whose customers are local, that knowledge is not a nice extra. It is most of the job. Getting found by someone three miles away searching on their phone is a different discipline to ranking a national brand, and it is what I do all day.
What you get for £99 a month
- A website designed around your business, not dropped into a template
- Hosting, your domain name and an SSL certificate, all included
- Built to load fast and work properly on phones, where most of your customers are
- The technical SEO groundwork done correctly from day one
- Ongoing security updates and support
- Content changes handled for you, rather than billed as extras
- A real person on the end of the phone
There is no setup fee and no contract beyond the twelve month minimum term. After that it simply continues month to month.
Built for the way small businesses actually work
Most of the businesses I work with are trades, salons, clubs and independents. Roofers, driveway installers, joiners, transport firms, football clubs. People who are busy doing the actual work and do not have a marketing department or a spare afternoon to learn WordPress.
That shapes how I build. Sites are straightforward, quick to load, and easy for a customer to act on. The phone number is obvious. The enquiry form works. Nothing gets in the way of someone deciding to call you.
If you are just starting out and a full site feels like too much too soon, I also build five free one-page websites every month for sole traders and micro businesses. No catch, and no obligation to move onto a paid plan afterwards.
Towns I cover across Staffordshire
I work with businesses right across the county and just over the border into Cheshire:
Stoke-on-Trent and the six towns, Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Uttoxeter, Leek, Stone, Biddulph, Kidsgrove, Cheadle, Alsager, Congleton and Sandbach.
Some towns have a page of their own with more detail: web design in Uttoxeter.
If your town is not on that list it does not matter. Staffordshire is not big and I am not far away.
What happens next
Get in touch and we will have a straightforward conversation about your business, your customers and what you need the website to do. No jargon and no pressure. If I am not the right fit for you I will say so.
If you would like to see what a website could realistically bring in before you commit to anything, the calculator further down this page gives you a rough idea based on your own numbers.
