Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost?
A simple business website typically starts from around £500–£1000 depending on what you need. Online shops and more complex sites will be more. I always provide a clear, fixed quote upfront so you know exactly what you're paying before any work begins. No hidden costs, no hourly surprises.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites take two to four weeks from start to finish. Larger projects or online shops may take a bit longer. The main thing that affects the timeline is how quickly you can provide content and feedback, but I'll guide you through all of that.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes, absolutely. I build every site so that you can make day-to-day updates yourself — adding news, changing photos, updating prices and so on. I'll show you how everything works before launch and I'm always happy to help if you get stuck.
Do I need to provide all the content and images?
It helps if you have some content in mind, but don't worry if you're not sure where to start. I can help you write your pages, source professional stock photography and structure everything so it reads well and works for search engines.
Will my website work on phones and tablets?
Yes, every website I build is fully responsive, meaning it looks and works great on all screen sizes — desktops, laptops, tablets and phones. With most people browsing on their phone these days, this isn't optional. It's standard on every project.
Why WordPress for my business website?
WordPress powers over 40% of the web for good reason. It's powerful, flexible, cost-effective and easy to update yourself. As a WordPress developer, I build clean, SEO-optimized WordPress sites without bloat or unnecessary plugins. You get a professional website you can actually manage, not one that requires a developer every time you want to change something.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site I build includes solid SEO foundations: clean code, fast load times, proper page titles and descriptions, mobile-friendliness and a sensible site structure. I specialize in local SEO optimization and Google Business Profile setup so customers searching for services in Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton and across Hampshire can find you easily.
Can you help me rank higher in Google for local searches?
Absolutely. Local SEO is one of my specialties. I optimize your WordPress site for local keywords (like "web designer in Fareham" or "plumber in Portsmouth"), set up and optimize your Google Business Profile, build proper local schema markup, and ensure your site is set up to compete for local search results in your area.
I already have a website but it's outdated. Can you help?
Yes, I do this all the time. Whether it's a full redesign or just tidying things up, I can modernise your site while keeping any content and search rankings you've built up. I'll take a look at what you have and give you an honest recommendation on the best path forward.
Do you only work with businesses in Fareham?
I'm a WordPress developer based in Fareham, but I work with businesses across Hampshire and beyond—including Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, Basingstoke and beyond. My local expertise helps me build websites and local SEO strategies that work for Hampshire businesses. Most work is by email and phone, but I'm always happy to meet up locally for a chat if you prefer.
What happens after my website is launched?
I don't disappear after launch. If you need changes or have questions, I'm here to help. I also offer affordable monthly maintenance plans that cover updates, security, backups and priority support so your site stays in good shape long-term.
My website has been hacked or is broken. Can you fix it?
Yes. I offer emergency support for hacked sites, broken websites and urgent issues. I'll get it sorted as quickly as possible and make sure it's properly secured afterwards so it doesn't happen again.
