We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

Yes, absolutely. Setting up and optimizing your Google Business Profile (GBP, formerly Google My Business) is crucial for local visibility and is a core part of my initial service strategy.

Since I am based in Somerset and understand the power of local marketing, I help ensure you can be found by customers in your area on Google Search and Maps. My service includes:

• Setup & Verification Guidance: I guide you through the process of claiming and verifying your business listing securely with Google.
• Listing Optimization: I ensure your profile is fully optimized with the correct service areas, business categories, opening hours, and initial descriptive content.
• Website Integration: Linking your new website correctly to your GBP for better local SEO performance and traffic.

This optimization is often included within the initial project scope, ensuring you launch with strong local search visibility from day one.

That is an excellent question, and my goal is to make sure that outcome is highly unlikely. My entire **face-to-face consultation** process is designed to prevent it.

By spending dedicated time upfront reviewing your brand, audience, and design inspirations, we create a detailed design brief that eliminates guesswork before the visual work begins.

However, your satisfaction is paramount. The design process is built around collaborative feedback:

• I will present the initial design concept for your review and detailed feedback.
• All proposals include a set number of **revision rounds** (typically two to three) to fine-tune the layout, colours, and typography until you are completely happy.

We do not proceed to the complex development stage until the design is formally signed off by you, guaranteeing that there are no costly surprises later on.

I believe the launch is just the beginning of our partnership. Unlike some agencies that disappear once the site is live, I am available to support you as your business grows.

Here is what you can expect immediately after your website goes live:

• Training: I will provide a walkthrough of your new system (in person or via video) so you feel confident making simple text or image updates yourself.
• Warranty Period: I provide a standard 30-day warranty to fix any technical bugs or glitches that might appear immediately after launch at no extra cost.
• Ongoing Maintenance: Websites need regular software updates and security patches. I offer optional monthly care packages—payable easily via GoCardless—to keep your site secure, backed up, and running smoothly.

You can always pick up the phone or arrange a meeting if you need new features or technical advice down the line.

Security is the single most important factor when building an online shop. The checkout process is built to be extremely secure, meeting current industry and bank-grade standards.

We ensure security through multiple layers to protect your customers' data:

• SSL Encryption (HTTPS): All data transmitted is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption, making the connection secure and verified.
• Third-Party Gateways: Sensitive payment data (like card numbers) is never stored on your website. Payments are handled externally by trusted, PCI DSS-compliant providers like Stripe or PayPal, who specialize in financial security.
• Data Minimisation: We adhere to strict standards, ensuring that only the absolute minimum required customer data is stored on your server for order fulfilment.

Rest assured, the safety of your customers’ financial information is the highest priority throughout the entire development process.

Yes, certainly. I can build fully functional, secure e-commerce websites that allow you to sell your products or services online 24/7.

Whether you are selling physical goods, digital downloads, or services, I create online shops that are:

• Secure: Built with industry-standard SSL encryption to keep your customers' data safe.
• Easy to Manage: I build systems with an intuitive "back office" dashboard, allowing you to easily add new products, track stock levels, and process orders yourself.
• Payment Ready: While I invoice you via GoCardless, I will set up your shop to accept instant credit and debit card payments (via secure gateways like Stripe or PayPal) so your customers can pay you easily.

Best of all, my service includes comprehensive training. I will sit down with you (or meet via video) to show you exactly how to run your store, ensuring you feel 100% confident managing orders from day one.
