Scope of work

A local business site has one job: get the visitor to call or fill in the form. Every part of the build is judged against that.

  • Copy

    Written around the searches and questions your customers bring, not filled in from a template. You check every word before it goes live.

  • Design

    Clear about what you do, where you do it and how to get hold of you. Designed on a phone screen first, because that is where a lot of local searches start.

  • Build

    Fast to load and easy for Google to read, with the SEO groundwork in from the first day: titles, headings, structured data and a sitemap.

  • Enquiry routes

    Tap-to-call, a short form and your Google Business Profile linked up, so nobody has to hunt for how to reach you.

  • Tracking

    Calls and form enquiries counted from launch, so you can see what the site produces rather than how many people looked at it.

  • Handover

    Domain, hosting account and logins in your name. If you stop working with me, the site goes nowhere.

  3. CopyWritten first, because the design should fit the words and not the other way round.
  4. BuildDesigned and built, then checked on phones, tablets and desktops.
  5. LaunchTracking switched on and tested, old addresses redirected, and the keys handed over.

Questions

How much does a website cost?

It depends on how many pages you need and whether I write the copy. You get a written quote after the free review, before any work starts, and there is no VAT to add.

How long does it take?

Most of the time goes on the copy and on your sign-off rather than the build. The quote comes with a timeline.

Will I own the site?

Yes. The domain, the hosting account and the logins are in your name. If you stop working with me, the site stays where it is.

Can you improve the site I have instead?

Often that is the cheaper answer. If a few pages are losing the enquiries, fixing those beats a rebuild, and the review will say which it is.

Do I need SEO as well?

Every site is built with the SEO groundwork in place: titles, headings, structured data, speed and a sitemap. Ongoing SEO, month by month, is a separate plan.

Can you add a chatbot?

Yes. The Chatbot can go on at launch or any time after.
