Websites & SEO

I never actually set out to build websites! After creating my own Squarespace site, more and more of my social media clients started asking if I could help with theirs too. A few websites later, I realised how much I enjoyed it, so it naturally became another service I offer.

The way I work is a little different to many web design companies. I build a website that works for your business, not one that you're tied to forever. Once you're happy, I transfer ownership to you and show you exactly how to update it yourself. I think your website should belong to you, not your web designer! Of course, if you'd rather leave it to me, I'm always happy to stay on and make updates whenever you need them.

My websites aren't just about looking good. They're built with search engines in mind from the start, including:

• Keyword research and page optimisation

• SEO-friendly page titles and meta descriptions

• Image optimisation and alt text

• Clear site structure and internal linking

• Google Search Console setup

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration

• Sitemap submission and indexing

• Mobile-friendly, fast-loading design

Whether you need a simple brochure website, an online shop, a booking system or something a little more bespoke, I can put together a straightforward proposal based on your requirements. Most of the websites I build come in at around £450, although this depends on the size and functionality of the project. (Examples here, here, and here)

As a Squarespace Circle Silver Partner, my clients benefit from an extended three-month free trial (instead of the standard two weeks) and a 10% discount on their first annual Squarespace subscription.

Already have a website?

You don't always need to start again.

If you already have a website but it's not performing as well as you'd like, I can carry out a thorough SEO review to identify opportunities for improvement. This can include things like:

• How well your pages match what people are searching for

• Page titles and meta descriptions

• Heading structure

• Image optimisation and alt text

• Internal linking

• Google Search Console setup and indexing issues

• Google Analytics 4 configuration

• Sitemap checks

• Broken links and usability issues

• Mobile performance and page speed

From there, you can decide how you'd like to proceed. I'm happy to make the changes for you, or provide a clear report with instructions if you’re happy to do the editing yourself.

Sometimes a few hours spent improving an existing website can make a much bigger difference than replacing it altogether.
