Small business website design in Tenterden
Most small businesses do not need a £5,000 agency website. They need a clear, fast site that turns someone who just Googled you into a phone call, a booking or a walk-in.
What a small business site actually has to do
Load in under two seconds on a phone with two bars of signal. Say what you do in the first sentence, in the words your customers use. Show your phone number where a thumb can reach it. Prove you are real — photos of actual work, a proper address, a landline. And make asking for a price take one tap, not four.
It is not about having a website. It is about being findable
Most of your new customers will find you the same way: they Google what they need plus the name of the town. If nothing of yours comes up, you are invisible to them — no matter how good you are. We build every site with the local SEO foundations in place, and we tell you exactly what to do with your Google Business Profile, because that combination is what puts you in the map results.
What you actually pay
A one-to-three page site is £189. A full site with your services, an about page, a gallery and a contact page is £450 and is what most small businesses take. Both are one-off payments — you own the result. Hosting afterwards is optional and starts at £14.99 a month.

Questions
What people ask about this.
I am a one-person business. Is a website overkill?
No — if anything it matters more, because you have no shopfront doing the reassuring for you. A single clear page showing what you do, where you work and how to reach you is enough, and that is our £189 Starter package.
I already have a Facebook page. Isn't that enough?
It helps, but it is rented ground — you do not control the reach, the layout or whether it still exists in five years. It also ranks poorly for local searches compared to a proper site. Keep the Facebook page and point it at a website you own.
How much of my time will this take?
About an hour in total for most clients. One conversation at the start about your business, then one look at the preview to tell us what to change. We do the writing and the images unless you would rather supply your own.
What if my business changes?
Small text and image changes you can make yourself. Bigger changes we quote for, or you take Hosting + Care at £45 a month and we make changes for you as often as you like.
