Website design for small businesses in Manchester
I build fast, SEO-ready websites for small businesses, freelancers and creatives: one-page websites, landing pages and small business sites. One person writes, builds and optimises it, so the words and the SEO are right from day one.
Packages and prices
- One-page website: everything on one scrolling page, ideal for trades, cafés and new businesses. £399
- SEO landing page: one page built to rank for one service or town and turn visits into enquiries. £249
- Portfolio website: up to 5 pages for freelancers, creatives and consultants. £699
- Small business website: up to 8 pages with services, about, FAQs and contact. £999
Fixed prices, agreed before any work starts
What every website includes
- Mobile-friendly design that loads fast
- Copy written for you, with the words your customers search for
- On-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings and internal links
- Local business and FAQ schema so Google and AI tools understand you
- Google Search Console and sitemap set up on launch
- WhatsApp, call and contact buttons in the right places
- Cookie banner and privacy policy page
- Two rounds of edits
How it works
- Message me on WhatsApp with what you do, where, and any sites you like.
- I plan and write the pages and keywords, and you approve the copy.
- I design and build the site, and you review it before it goes live.
- We launch and I submit it to Google.
A one-page website takes 5 to 7 working days. A small business website takes 2 to 3 weeks.
What you pay for separately
Your domain name and hosting, usually £10 a year for the domain and a few pounds a month for hosting. Both are in your name, so you own the website outright. Optional website care (updates, backups and small edits) is £29 a month.

Common questions
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
My websites cost from £399 for a one-page website to £999 for a small business website of up to 8 pages. SEO landing pages are £249. The price is fixed before work starts.
Do you write the website content?
Yes. I am a copywriter first, so every website includes the words, written to rank on Google and turn visitors into enquiries.
Will my website be SEO optimised?
Yes. Every site launches with keyword-led titles and headings, meta descriptions, schema markup, a sitemap and Google Search Console set up.
Do I own my website?
Yes. The domain and hosting are in your name, and you get full access. You are never locked in.
How long does it take to build a website?
A one-page website takes 5 to 7 working days. A small business website of up to 8 pages takes 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how fast feedback comes back.
Can you build a website for a business outside Manchester?
Yes. I am based in Salford and work with businesses across the UK and India remotely.
Tell me about your business. I will tell you what I would fix first.
Send me a WhatsApp with your website or Google listing. You will hear back from me, not a bot, usually the same day.
