 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brent has made a fantastic job of my website. It’s exactly how I wanted it and I hope his work will help to raise my SEO and help get my new business off the ground. Brent is great at keeping in touch. Whenever I have a query or a problem he is quick to respond and has a very kind, thoughtful and supportive manner to boot. I can’t recommend Brent highly enough. A true professional. Thank you Brent.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had Brent looking after our website for over 10 years, which says everything about how easy he is to work with. Whenever we need something changed or fixed, he sorts it quickly and never makes it complicated. He recently rebuilt our site to properly explain our different driveway services, and it's made a real difference. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brent constructed and ran my Web site for many years until my recent retirement! As a techno dinosaur I always found him both professional  and patient and have always found him to be very efficient. It goes without saying I wholeheartedly  would recommend  him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brent has given first class service and I am so happy with the result. Brent took a broad brief of what I was looking for and created a high quality, compelling design and layout. Nothing was too much trouble and the speed of response was excellent. I would highly recommend.

Have some questions?

Website design starts from £499 for a multi-page site, or from £799 for an e-commerce store. All builds include the hosting and care package at £25/month. If you’re just starting out, I also offer a free single-page starter site for just £25/month, no setup fee, no long-term contract. Read this article about how much a website costs for more information or get an instant estimate now.

Most sites are live within 2–3 weeks of receiving your content and sign-off. I’ll keep you updated throughout and nothing goes live until you’re happy with it.

I’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed, but yes, you’ll need to provide your business information, any specific photos, and your logo if you have one. Don’t worry if you don’t have professional photos, I can advise on affordable options or use suitable stock images.

Yes, every site I build is fully mobile-responsive, it’ll look great and work properly on any device, from a desktop screen down to a smartphone.

You have two options:

I handle it for you, just email me with what you need changing and I’ll take care of it. Minor updates such as swapping a photo or changing a line of text are included within fair and reasonable use. Larger changes, adding new pages, significant redesigns, or anything more involved, are charged at £50/hr. I’ll always confirm the likely cost before starting any chargeable work.

You do it yourself, if you’d prefer direct control, I can set you up with editor access to your WordPress site on request. Just bear in mind that any fixes required as a result of changes made directly to the site are charged at £50/hr. If you’d like a short handover walkthrough to get you comfortable with WordPress before you dive in, I offer this as a one-off add-on for £75.

Either way, there’s no pressure, plenty of my clients are happy to never log into WordPress at all.

That’s exactly what the hosting and care package covers. I monitor and maintain your site, handle security updates, and take automatic backups. If anything goes wrong, I’ll fix it, you don’t need to do a thing.

No. If you don’t have one yet, I can help you choose and register a domain name as part of the process. If you already have one, I can work with that too.

Every site I build follows SEO-friendly best practices, proper page structure, fast loading, mobile-optimised, giving you a solid foundation. I don’t offer ongoing SEO campaigns, but I’ll make sure your site isn’t invisible to search engines from day one.

No. The monthly hosting and care package runs month to month, no lock-in, no cancellation fees. The only commitment is the one-off build cost.

Just fill in the contact form and tell me a bit about your business and what you need. I’ll get back to you within one working day for a no-obligation chat.

Yes, I’m based in Derby and work with small businesses across Derbyshire and the East Midlands. Everything is handled remotely, so location is never a barrier.
