A bespoke online shop for students and teachers
A bespoke online shop for students and teachers
An ageing website turned into an online shop for digital teaching resources, books and magazines, with separate accounts for students and teachers.
01 Why Rutland businesses call me
I'm based in Grantham, so Oakham and the rest of Rutland are an easy drive. I know how a small county works - word of mouth counts for a lot, and so does being easy to find online.
No account manager, no handover to a junior. The person you speak to is the person building it.
You'll have the scope, price and dates on one page before anything starts, worked out at £30 an hour. It doesn't move unless you change what you asked for.
Fast, well-structured pages and your Google Business Profile set up properly, so people searching in Oakham, around Rutland Water and further afield can actually find you.
Domain, files, accounts and logins are in your name from day one, even if you leave.
Once your site's live, I don't disappear. If something breaks or you need a hand with an update, you've still got my number.
02 Services
Most projects use two or three of these together - I'll tell you which ones you actually need.
A design that looks like your business, not a template with your logo dropped in.
Built by hand, so it's fast, works on every device and is easy for you to update.
A logo, colours and fonts that work together, so your business looks the same from your shop front to your website.
Online shops that are simple for customers to buy from, and simple for you to run.
Helping the right people find you on Google, with reports that actually make sense.
Hosting, updates, backups and small changes, so it's one less thing to think about.
Checking your site works for everyone, including people using screen readers or keyboards - and fixing it if it doesn't.

05 How It Goes
Half an hour on a call. What the business needs, what's in the way, what you can spend. Free, and no pitch deck.
One page: scope, price, dates. If it's more than you expected, we cut scope rather than corners.
You see it every week on a live link. Comments go straight on the page. Nothing gets built in secret.
I press the button, watch it for a fortnight, and show you how to run it. Then I'm around when you need me.
06 Straight answers
Anything missing? Ask me directly and I'll give you a straight answer, not a sales one.
Yes. I'm based in Grantham, a short drive from Oakham, and work with businesses in Oakham, Uppingham and the villages around Rutland, as well as the rest of the UK.
Yes. If you rely on visitors, your website is often the first thing they see, so it needs good photos, clear information and a simple way to book or enquire. If you already use a booking system, I can link it up so customers don't notice the join.
Yes. I've built websites and members' areas for agricultural businesses before, and a good website matters just as much in the countryside as it does in town - especially when your customers are spread over a wide area.
One-page sites start from £600, full sites from £1,200, and custom builds or online shops from £2,400. You'll get a fixed price before anything starts. See my full pricing for what's included.
Of course. I'm happy to meet in Oakham for the first chat if you'd like. Plenty of clients prefer to do everything over calls and email though, and that works just as well.
A couple of lines is plenty. I reply to everything within a working day, even if the answer is “I'm not the right fit”.
