Website Design & Maintenance
I started What About a Website website design and maintenance services in 2008, and since then, I have designed, built and maintained over 70 websites. Whether you’re looking for a simple “shop window” website or a more complex corporate style, I can design and build you a website that is unique and works perfectly for your business.
Most of my sites are built on the WordPress content management system (CMS). Using only fully supported, premium (paid-for) themes that allow complete flexibility in design but are incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Premium or professionally developed and fully supported plugins (like apps) are solely installed to give additional functionality. Updating a site is easily done on the front-end matching how the website will appear live after a change. I never install cheap, off-the-shelf themes which have design limitations, update and security issues and are often packed full of freebies that could go out-of-date at any point and leave your site at risk.

Why choose
What About a website?
I offer
Unique websites – no templates – personal service
– A personal service
Foremost, is my personal service, most of my clients have been with me for over 12 years, but none of their sites are that old! A website needs to constantly evolve, continue to lead its competitors and change with the times, so most of my long-term clients are on their 3rd or 4th site.
– Bespoke Website Design
All my websites are uniquely designed to match my client’s business, brand and expectations. I work directly with the client through every stage of the design and build to ensure that the finished website is exactly as they wished. My clients watch the build from start to finish, every stage is checked and adjusted until it’s absolutely perfect, with no unwanted surprises on completion.
– Fully Responsive and Mobile Optimised
Every website is designed to be responsive so that it works seamlessly on a mobile, tablet, laptop at every browser width, adapting properly no matter what size screen, for an optimal viewing experience across all devices, fully engaging both desktop and mobile customers.
– Website Security
The security of your website and its data is a key consideration of a website. As such I take steps to ensure that your website and its data is secure from bots, hackers and virus or malware attacks. All websites include an SSL certificate for increased security. I deploy ReCaptcha v3, antivirus and firewall technology and security scans to keep your site clean and secure.
– SEO Optimised
All my websites include Search Engine Optimisation to fully optimise them for the search engines Ranking your subject or service for your target audience, persuading them that your site is the one to visit. Ensuring your site has the best chance of ranking well organically and persuading potential visitors to click.
– Website Hosting and Domain Registration
I offer help and support when buying a domain name or website hosting. Unlike other website companies, I don’t offer my own in-house hosting as I feel that clients should not be tethered to their website designer and sometimes held hostage. I don’t receive any financial gain by suggesting a website hosting company, I merely offer impartial advice, dependent on the size of the website and the budget of my client.
– The site is yours upon completion
Once I’ve built your site, the site is yours. The code, the install – everything. Some companies might hold you over a barrel when it comes to editing, hosting or moving the site, I don’t – it’s your site. You are free to cut your ties with me, pass it on to a member of staff to manage or another developer.
– I rescue websites
Perhaps you have inherited a website, or your website designer has done a “Lord Lucan” on you. If you need rescuing, I’m the person for the job. It might just be that you can’t change your prices or contact details, or a bigger problem where your site has not been properly maintained and is packed full of bugs and errors. I will always give you free advice and take a look.
– WordPress Maintenance
After you have been handed your bright and shiny new WordPress website the work doesn’t stop there, a WordPress site needs to be actively maintained, which takes valuable time out of a working day. Before I commit my clients to a WordPress platform, I always make it clear that the site’s security, needs maintenance. It’s obvious from my years of experience that a lot of clients hope to manage a lot of WordPress website maintenance tasks themselves, which in theory is great, but often they require technical knowledge, a decent amount of time and a certain level of experience that most people simply do not have. I offer this service which clients are free to take up or do themselves.
