Professional Website Design for Somerset Businesses

My quoted price is a fixed fee in GBP (£) that covers every single stage required to take your project from an idea to a fully functioning website launch. There are absolutely no hidden charges.

The price presented in your proposal covers the entire build process, including:

• Strategy & Consultation: Detailed face-to-face planning, goal mapping, and defining the site structure.
• Design & Revisions: All custom visual design, prototyping, and necessary fine-tuning revisions.
• Development & Programming: All custom coding, integration, and building your dedicated Admin Panel.
• Testing & Launch: Comprehensive quality assurance, mobile testing, and the final site deployment.
• Training: A complete walkthrough of your Content Management System before launch.

What is generally NOT included: The fixed price covers the *creation* of the site. Separate, ongoing costs such as domain name renewal, website hosting, and any optional monthly maintenance or advanced SEO packages are billed separately.

Yes, I do provide ongoing SEO services. I believe that true search engine success is a marathon, not a sprint, and there is no such thing as a quick fix.

My approach is rooted in hard work and constant changes to achieve sustained, long-term growth. After building your technically perfect website, the ongoing service focuses on building authority and driving traffic through:

• Content Strategy: Planning and optimization of new blog posts, service pages, and website copy to target valuable search terms.
• Performance Monitoring: Regular technical checks and minor adjustments to ensure your site continues to rank well as Google’s algorithm changes.
• Keyword Research: Continuously tracking your competitor landscape and identifying new opportunities for organic traffic growth.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Providing clear, easy-to-understand reports on traffic growth, keyword visibility, and future strategy.

We can discuss the appropriate monthly SEO budget required to compete effectively in your specific industry during our initial consultation.

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.

Yes, absolutely. I offer a range of comprehensive, hassle-free maintenance packages designed to keep your website secure, fast, and up-to-date long after the initial build.

A website requires constant upkeep to remain protected against threats and software updates. My packages are tailored to cover all business sizes and typically include:

• Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and patching of all core software (CMS, themes, plugins) to defend against hackers.
• Regular Backups: Daily or weekly backups stored off-site, ensuring your website can be quickly restored in the event of any issue.
• Performance Optimization: Routine checks to ensure your website continues to load quickly and perform optimally.
• Technical Support: Access to me directly for minor changes and technical questions.

The cost of these packages varies depending on your needs (standard brochure site vs. complex e-commerce), but all are paid for simply and securely via monthly or annual GoCardless Direct Debit, giving you peace of mind.

While I build every website with the highest security standards, no online system is entirely immune to threats. The difference lies in preparedness and rapid response.

My service ensures two essential layers of protection against both technical breaks and security incidents:

• Prevention (Maintenance Packages): Clients on a maintenance plan benefit from continuous security monitoring, regular software updates, and active patching, which prevents the vast majority of threats and technical failures.
• Rapid Recovery (Backups): Should the worst happen, I maintain daily or weekly off-site backups (depending on your package) of your entire website. This ensures we can quickly restore a clean, recent version, minimizing downtime and data loss.

If you ever suspect an issue, the first step is always to contact me immediately. Having an active maintenance package ensures that rapid recovery and repair are included and prioritized.
