Real work
Anonymised case study: a Manchester consultant's business site
A Manchester-based consultant had outgrown a basic template. The design had drifted, visitors weren't converting into enquiries, and the site barely showed up in search. Scope was a five-page custom build with proper lead capture, analytics set up for tracking enquiries, and some local SEO baked in. Fixed price, 12 working days, launched cleanly off the old site with redirects in place.
Common questions
- Do I need to bring copy for every page?
- Ideally yes. If not, I can write it based on a questionnaire and some research. That's factored into the quote.
- Can you handle branding too?
- Yes. If you want a visual identity built from scratch we can scope that in. If you've got existing brand assets, even better.
- Do you use WordPress?
- Not usually. I build on a modern stack (Next.js) that's faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. If you specifically need WordPress, say so and we'll discuss.
- What about changes after launch?
- Updates go through me. The site's built on a modern stack without a CMS, so I handle any changes, text, photos, new pages, bigger updates. Keeps things fast and secure, and nothing accidentally breaks. Ongoing updates are covered by Hosting & Support from £20 a month, or quoted per request for one-offs.
- What about SEO?
- Built in from day one: proper meta tags, structured data, fast loading, mobile responsive, sitemap, canonicals. For a serious local SEO push, I'd add that as a scope extension.
- How does hosting work?
- Hosting and support is a separate ongoing service from £20 a month.
- What if I want to add an online shop later?
- Ecommerce is a separate project from a business website. It needs its own scope, products, checkout, payments, stock, etc, so I'd quote it as its own job rather than tacking it onto a business website build.
