Website design services that turn visitors into leads
My website design services are for business owners who want a site that brings in enquiries, not just compliments. I plan every page around what your buyers search for, design it to earn their trust, and build it to load fast on any phone. Then I set up the SEO, so the right people can find it.

How it works
A good-looking site that nobody finds is an expensive brochure
Most business websites fail in the same three ways.
-
01
They’re built for the owner, not the buyer.
Lots of “about us”, not enough answers to the questions customers actually ask.
-
02
They’re slow.
Heavy themes, oversized images and too many plugins. Visitors on phones leave before the page appears.
-
03
SEO is an afterthought.
The structure, URLs and headings are set before anyone thinks about search. Fixing that later costs more than doing it right first.
The result is a site that looks fine and does little. I build the other kind. Get your free website & SEO audit to see which of these is holding your site back.
What my website design services include
Every project includes the work below. Nothing important is sold as an “extra” later.
-
Discovery and page plan
A short workshop on your goals, buyers and competitors, then a sitemap of every page and the search term it targets.

Custom web design services, not a recycled template
A template forces your business into someone else’s layout. Custom web design services start from your content and your buyers, then design around them.
That doesn’t mean slow or expensive by default. I design a small set of reusable page sections, matched to your brand, and build them as flexible blocks. You get a site that looks like you, and you can create new pages by mixing those blocks without breaking the design.
What “custom” means here
- Layouts designed for your services, not a stock theme demo
- Your colors, type and photography, applied consistently
- Components built for your real content, so nothing looks stretched or empty
- No page builder bloat that slows the site down
If you need a feature no plugin does well, I can build a custom WordPress plugin for it.

Small business website design that fits your budget
Small business website design should be simple to run and quick to pay back. I keep the page count focused, prioritize the pages that bring leads, and leave room to grow. You get up to 6 core pages, a contact flow that works, and a setup you can manage yourself.
-
Growing businesses and B2B teams
More services, more audiences, maybe more languages. I plan a structure that scales, so adding a new service page next year doesn’t mean a redesign.
-
Owners with a site that underperforms
If your site exists but doesn’t bring enquiries, you may not need a full rebuild. Start by redesigning an existing site or by fixing what the audit finds.

“I’d rather tell you no than sell you something you don’t need. Every page I build has to earn its place.”
How long do your website design services take?
Most projects take 4–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factor is content: sites move fastest when text and photos are ready early. I share a dated plan at the start, with review points for wireframes, design and the staging site, so you always know what’s next and when you’re needed.
Do your website development services include hosting?
I don’t resell hosting, so you stay in control. I’ll recommend a reliable host that suits WordPress and your budget, set up the account in your name, and handle the technical setup. If you already have hosting, I’ll check it can deliver the speed your site needs before we build on it.
What’s the difference between custom web design services and a template?
A template is a pre-made layout you fill in. Custom web design services start with your content, buyers and goals, then design pages to fit them. The result looks like your brand, carries less unused code, and is easier to optimize for search. You still get reusable blocks for building new pages yourself.
Is small business website design different from bigger projects?
The quality is the same. The scope is smaller and more focused. For small business website design I prioritize the pages that bring leads, keep the setup simple to manage, and avoid features you won’t use. The site is built so you can add pages and services as the business grows.
Will my new website rank on Google?
I build every site so it can rank: clean structure, fast pages, proper headings and schema, and Search Console from launch. No honest designer can promise a position, because rankings depend on competition and ongoing work. If you want active growth, my ongoing SEO plans take it from there.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. Every site comes with an editor set up for your content, plus a recorded training session. Changing text, adding blog posts or creating a new service page from existing blocks takes minutes. If you’d rather not, a care plan covers updates, backups and small edits each month from $199.
