A website that explains your business clearly and helps bring in better enquiries.
You deal with me from the first call to the day your site goes live, and after. No account managers, no juniors, no “I'll pass that on.” I've been building websites for Northern Ireland businesses for 20 years, and I'm the one who answers when something needs done.
No pitch. Just a conversation about what you need.
THE REAL PROBLEM
You need a website that makes your business look as good as the work you do.
Maybe you don’t have a website yet. Maybe you’re relying on Facebook, word of mouth, or an old page that no longer reflects your business. Maybe you tried building one yourself and quickly realised it wasn’t as simple as the adverts made it sound.
Whatever brought you here, the problem is usually the same: you need a clear, professional website that explains what you do, builds trust, and makes it easy for people to contact you.
That is what this service is built around: a clear, professional website created from start to finish by one experienced person who cares about doing the job properly. You know exactly who is doing the work, what is happening next, and who to call if you need help.
A website with a job, not just a look
The best small-business websites now behave less like a brochure and more like a member of staff. Depending on your business, that might mean taking bookings, showing stock, filtering products, generating quote requests or sending the “here’s what happens next” email automatically.
On our first call, I’ll ask what customers repeatedly contact you about, what takes up your time and whether the website could handle some of it before they ever have to call.
What working with me looks like
A clear process, start to finish
No disappearing designer. No vague process. No wondering what happens next.
Talk it through.
A short call to understand your business, what the website needs to do, and whether I’m the right fit. No pressure and no obligation.
Shape the website.
I map out the pages, message, structure and fixed price, so you know exactly what is being built before any work starts.
Build and review.
I build the site and send you a working preview link. You see the real thing on your own phone and laptop, then tell me what needs changed.
Launch properly.
I handle the technical launch, check the (many) important details, and make sure you know what happens after the site goes live.

What it costs
Clear fixed pricing before anything starts
Most small business websites vary in cost depending on the number of pages, how much copy needs written, and whether you need extras like booking forms, e-commerce, or landing pages. I’ll give you a clear fixed quote before any work starts.
If your budget doesn't stretch to a full build, say so on the call. Sometimes a redesign of what you have is the smarter spend.
Most business websites:
£400–£2,000One fixed quote.
No surprise extras.
Built properly from the start.
Built for Northern Ireland businesses that want one accountable person
I work with owner-run businesses across Northern Ireland, trades, professional services, shops, manufacturers, holiday lets. If you want to deal with the actual human doing the work, and you want a site that earns its keep rather than just existing, you're in the right place.
Questions I get asked a lot
Honest answers to the questions I hear most often.
How much does a website cost?
Most business websites I build cost between £400–£2,000, depending on size and features. E-commerce, booking systems and larger builds sit above that. You’ll get one fixed quote before work starts.
How long does it take?
The timescale depends on the size of the website, how quickly content is supplied and whether any custom functionality is required. I’ll confirm the expected schedule before work begins.
Do I have to write the words myself?
No. Clear, direct copy is part of the service. If you’d rather write your own, I’ll shape it with you so it reads properly and helps customers take action.
What happens after the site goes live?
You still have my number — you deal with the person who built the site, not a ticket queue.
If you would rather not think about updates, backups and security, an optional Website Care & Improvement plan will be available for ongoing support. Alternatively, I will hand the site over properly and you can run it yourself.
There is no lock-in either way.
Can you fix or redesign my existing website?
Yes. Sometimes a redesign of what you already have is the smarter spend. If that’s the case, I’ll say so on the call.
Why WordPress?
Because you own it, you’re not locked into one platform, and almost any capable developer can work on it later. You stay because the work is good, not because you’re trapped.
Do you work with businesses outside Northern Ireland?
Yes, where the fit is right. The page is focused on Northern Ireland because most of my work and local knowledge sits here, but the process works further afield too.
Will my site show up on Google?
The site will be built with clean structure, fast loading, sensible headings and clear copy. No honest designer can guarantee rankings, but the basics will be done properly from day one.
