Newmarket, Suffolk

A web designer who is actually in Newmarket.

I live and work here. That is not a marketing line — it changes the work. I know that a business on the High Street, a yard out toward Exning and a shop in the Guineas Centre are all serving slightly different people, and the website should reflect that rather than say 'serving the local area'.

What usually goes wrong

Where these sites lose the enquiry.

You can meet me

If you would rather talk something through over a coffee than on a video call, that is easy to arrange. Most clients only need it once, but it matters that it is possible.

No agency layers

You are not passed to an account manager and then to an offshore build team. The person you speak to is the person designing and building the site.

Local search done properly

Newmarket, Exning, Kentford, Burwell, Mildenhall — naming the places your customers are actually in is a large part of showing up when they search.

Still here afterwards

When you need a price changed or a new service added in eight months, you message me and it gets done. No ticket system.

What your customers type

The site is built around these.

The last two matter most. Very few of your customers search for a web designer — they search for what you do, near where they live. That is what the site has to win.

Piping Hot Plumbing & Heating

Plumbing & heating, Suffolk

A long-established plumbing company with a site that looked older than the business deserved. I kept their branding and rebuilt everything around one question: how quickly can a customer decide to call?

What changed

Phone number in reach at all times
Click-to-call sits in the header and repeats after every section, so nobody has to hunt for it on a phone.
Services made scannable
Long paragraphs became short service blocks a homeowner can read in ten seconds.
Proof moved up the page
Accreditations, years in business and reviews now appear before the fold instead of buried on a sub-page.
Rebuilt for phones first
The old layout collapsed awkwardly on mobile, where roughly three quarters of their visitors arrive.

Questions

What people ask before they start.

Do you only work with businesses in Newmarket?
No. I am based here and know the area well, but the work is done remotely so I build for businesses across Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and further afield. Being local is a bonus, not a requirement.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, happily, if you are nearby. Most projects run over email and phone because it is quicker, but a first meeting in person is fine if you prefer it.
How does the free homepage concept work?
You tell me about your business in a few lines. I design a real homepage for it — your name, your services, your area — and send it over. If you like it we carry on. If not, you owe nothing.
Who owns the site once it is built?
You do. The design, the content and the domain are yours, and nothing is held back if you ever decide to move it elsewhere.

If you are running a business in or around Newmarket, send me a message and I will design your homepage for free.
