Is Your Website Attracting Visitors and Residents?

Got local website problems?

Minchinhampton might be small, but your business deserves to stand out online. An outdated website can quietly hurt your bookings, enquiries, and even your reputation. Whether you run a boutique, café, guesthouse, or local service, I help small businesses tackle these common digital issues:
  • Your business isn’t appearing in Google. Search for “Minchinhampton gift shop” or “B&B near Rodborough”; does your site pop up? If not, customers are probably heading elsewhere. I create websites ready for SEO and designed to rank locally from the start.
  • Missing out on nearby towns? If your site doesn’t appear in searches for Nailsworth, Stroud, or Stonehouse, you are losing local customers who are only a few miles away. I create websites that help you reach more people in the district.
  • Your website feels old or slow. A bad mobile experience or slow load times push visitors away. I build sites that load quickly and look great on any device. First impressions matter.
  • You don’t know what to write. Or how to write it in a way that ranks. I help with content strategy and copywriting that showcases your business, draws in your audience, and meets search engine needs.
  • Are DIY solutions proving problematic? Many local businesses spend time dealing with old site builders or outdated websites. I make web design easy with custom builds and explain everything in plain English.
  • You’re wary of big design agencies. Concerns include costs, long-term retainers, and unclear pricing. I provide fixed-fee projects, free audits, and flexible, pressure-free support. I share what I am doing and involve you in setting goals.

How do your costs compare to a web design agency?

Most projects start at £450, a fraction of the typical costs of design agencies in Stroud. All sites include keyword research, essential SEO, mobile-friendly design, and a clean, modern look. Get in touch for clear prices with no hidden fees.

Can you help my Minchinhampton business appear higher on Google?

Yes. I optimise your website and Google Business Profile for all your target locations in our district and beyond. Your requirements may dictate the inclusion of Stroud, Nailsworth, and Chalford, as well as Gloucestershire or the UK.

Will I be able to manage my website myself?

Yes, I use platforms that offer easy content management, like WordPress or Shopify for eCommerce websites. If that’s not for you I also offer training to support you. Or if you don’t want to do it yourself, I can provide affordable ongoing support.

Can you help with hosting and domain names?

Yes, I can help you register your domain, set up secure hosting, and guide you in picking a name.
