Planning and page structure
Before I start on the design, I work out which pages you need, what customers are looking for and where each page should lead them.
Website design in Rotherham & Yorkshire
Website design and development for small businesses.
I design and build fast, responsive websites for small businesses in Rotherham, Sheffield and across Yorkshire and the wider UK.
Tell me what the website needs to do. I will explain whether WordPress, Payload CMS or a bespoke build is the right fit, and how to give it a clear SEO foundation.
Website design and development
A website that helps people find, trust and contact you.
Most visitors want to know what you do, whether they can trust you and how to take the next step.
I plan the page structure, design the site and build it. That includes mobile layouts, accessibility, speed, SEO-friendly structure and a straightforward way to update the content.

Website design
I create a look and layout that suits your business, then make sure it works properly on phones, tablets and larger screens.
Front-end development
I turn the approved design into fast, accessible code that is straightforward to maintain.
Payload CMS
For websites that need a custom editing setup, I can use Payload CMS so the content is easy to update without relying on a ready-made template.
WordPress and website builders
WordPress, Webflow, Wix or Squarespace can be the right choice when one of them suits the budget, editing needs and scope of the project.
Custom website features
If the website needs a directory, configurator, integration or another specialist feature, I can build it as part of the project.
Technical SEO foundations
I set up clear page structure, titles and descriptions, internal links and performance basics so search engines can crawl and understand the website.
Hosting and website support
After launch, I can continue to look after hosting, monitoring, backups, updates and content changes.
SEO-friendly website development
Good SEO starts with a website that makes sense.
Search engines need to understand what each page is about, and customers need to understand what to do next.
I build clear page structures, useful titles and descriptions, descriptive internal links, fast mobile layouts and accessible content. That gives your website a sound foundation for local search without turning the copy into keyword clutter.
Read the local SEO articleHow projects are priced
You’ll know what I’m building and what it will cost.
Once I understand the job, I set out the work and price in writing. A managed monthly option may also be available if it suits the project.
I do not add features for the sake of it. The quote is based on what your business actually needs the website to do.
When a website needs to do more
Sometimes the website is only the first part.
Common questions
Before you choose a website designer.
How much does a small-business website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the content, the design, integrations and how much custom development is needed. I scope the work first and price it clearly in writing.
Should I use WordPress or a custom build?
WordPress can be a sensible fit for a content-led website. A custom build may be better when the website needs a specialist workflow, integration or interactive feature.
Will the website be set up for SEO?
Yes. I build clear structure, titles, descriptions, internal links, mobile layouts and performance basics into the project. Ongoing SEO is a separate decision from launch foundations.
Need a new website?
Send me your current site or a rough brief. I will tell you what I would build and what the job would involve.
