Thoughtfully designed websites for small businesses, with direct support from the person building them. Need more than a brochure site? I can also build the integrations and custom functionality behind it.
A direct way to get online
I’m Keith, a freelance digital specialist with more than a decade of experience building, improving and managing websites. I combine clear design with the practical thinking that helps a website earn its place in a business.
There’s no agency hand-off or account-manager layer. From the first conversation through to launch, you deal directly with me—and if you choose ongoing support, I’ll still be the person who knows how your site works.
I’ve built everything from single-page WordPress websites to WooCommerce stores transacting more than £3m a year. That range is exactly why I use WordPress: it is flexible enough to start simply, then grow into eCommerce, booking flows, integrations or bespoke features when you need them.
Website design options
Choose a focused small-business website with a clear price, or a custom website quoted around exactly what your business needs.
Small Business Website

Usually £995
For sole traders, local services and new businesses that need to look credible, explain what they do and generate enquiries.
Custom Website
Quotedto your requirements
For businesses that need more pages, eCommerce, bookings, integrations or bespoke functionality—with the scope and price tailored to fit.
Prefer to pay once? Your website is yours on completion and you’re free to choose your own hosting. Or you can keep me involved through one of my WordPress support plans.
Pay monthly, stay supported
The monthly options are for businesses that would rather have someone keep an eye on the website than manage hosting and maintenance themselves.
* At the end of the term: you own the completed website outright and can choose your own hosting or continue with support.
When your website needs to do more
Sometimes a standard website is all you need. Other times, it needs to connect to the tools you already rely on, save your team time or make it easier for customers to take the next step.
I can plan and build custom integrations, eCommerce, booking systems, payment journeys, CRM and email systems, live chat, member areas, customer portals and bespoke software features. Those pieces are scoped and quoted separately, so you only invest in what makes sense for your business.
Why WordPress?
WordPress is the software that runs a website and gives you a straightforward way to edit pages, publish news and add content without rebuilding the site from scratch.
It has a huge global community of designers and developers, plus a well-established ecosystem. With more than 70,000 plugins available, many common needs—from bookings and eCommerce to memberships, email and CRM connections—can be built on a proven foundation rather than from scratch.
That gives a small-business site today room to become an eCommerce, booking or member platform later.

A clear project journey
Six meaningful stages, split between planning and delivery, with clearer expectations around scope, content, feedback and handover.
We talk through your business, your customers, what isn’t working now and what the website needs to achieve.
I turn that conversation into a clear scope, budget and next steps—so there are no surprises about what is included.
We agree the pages, messages and information your visitors need. I’ll flag where copy, images or other material is needed.
I shape the visual direction and page layouts around your brand, your customers and the decisions you want them to make.
I build the working WordPress site and test it properly. You review it at a sensible point, with feedback focused on what matters.
Once everything is checked, we launch. You receive a clear handover with the key details you need to look after the site going forward.
Throughout the project: you deal directly with me. You’ll know when your input is needed, what I’m working on and what happens next.
Questions & answers
Yes. With a one-off build, the website is yours when it is complete. With a Website Partnership, you own the completed website outright at the end of the 24-month minimum term. Subscription website services such as Wix, Squarespace and Yell keep your site tied to their platform, so you keep paying while you use it and cannot simply take the underlying website elsewhere.
The Small Business Website includes up to five core pages. Custom websites are scoped around what you need, so the number and type of pages are agreed clearly before work starts.
It includes managed hosting, WordPress, theme and plugin updates, security checks, off-site backups, plus direct help and small changes within the agreed allowance. It follows the same practical approach as my WordPress maintenance plans.
The completed website is yours outright. You can move it to your own hosting, continue with a WordPress support plan, or we can agree the right ongoing arrangement for your site.
Absolutely. With a one-off build, you are free to host your website wherever you prefer. If you’d rather not manage it yourself, you can choose a separate WordPress support plan or a monthly Website Partnership.
Yes. We can discuss what you already have and what needs creating. I’ll make sure the website has sound on-page SEO foundations; copy and any specialist work can be included in the project scope where needed.
Yes. eCommerce, booking systems, CRM and email integrations, live chat, bespoke software and other custom functionality are scoped and quoted separately. We’ll first work out what is actually needed, then agree a clear cost and plan.
Smaller websites are generally completed within a few weeks—and, with a very clear brief and everything needed to hand, sometimes in just a few days. Larger or more involved projects take longer; I’ll set out a realistic plan before we begin.
Yes. If a complete rebuild isn’t the right answer, I can review an existing WordPress website and recommend practical improvements to its design, content, performance or functionality.
