Web Design FAQs

Answers to common questions about how I build custom WordPress websites and what’s included.
Each site includes strategy, design, and development, following best practices for UX, UI, and performance. I also handle mobile optimisation, image compression, accessibility checks, SEO fundamentals (like metadata, headings, and internal linking), Google indexing, sitemap submission, and structured data where relevant. Everything is clean, fast, and built to support your growth.
On average, between 2 to 8 weeks. The timeline depends on your project’s scope and how quickly you can provide content like images, copy, or branding materials.
Yes. I use WordPress, which makes it simple to manage content like pages, blog posts, or images. I also provide training so you feel confident making updates on your own.
Everything is custom built from the ground up. No off-the-shelf themes or bloated page builders. This keeps your site clean, fast, and truly yours.
Often, yes. If your current site has a solid foundation, I can implement major improvements without a full rebuild. If I think a rebuild is more cost-effective long term, I’ll explain why.
Absolutely. Every site I build is fully responsive, tested across devices, and designed to work seamlessly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
As an SEO expert, I implement all the essentials: clean code, fast load times, proper heading structure, meta tags, image alt text, and a clear content hierarchy. Your site will be optimised for both users and search engines from day one.
I don’t resell hosting, but I can help you choose a reliable provider and set everything up so you have full access and ownership. I’ll just need developer access to configure things like DNS, SSL, and backups properly.

SEO FAQs

A quick overview of how my SEO services work and what you can expect.
Most businesses start seeing progress within 3 to 6 months. SEO is a long-term strategy, and results depend on your market, competition, and current performance.
No. No ethical SEO provider can promise that. I focus on long-term visibility, qualified traffic, and sustainable growth, not gimmicks or shortcuts.
That depends on your goals and budget. I offer fundamental SEO (technical fixes, on-page optimisation, metadata, and content tweaks) as well as advanced strategies (ongoing content, link building, keyword tracking, and competitor analysis).
One-time setups help, but SEO is most effective as a long-term strategy. Search is constantly evolving, so staying visible means staying active, especially as AI reshapes how people search.
Yes. I optimise your profile, fix any inconsistencies, and support local SEO efforts like citation building and geo-targeted content so you appear in local packs and “near me” searches.
I use keyword research and competitor analysis to find terms that match your audience’s intent. Then I align those keywords with your services, goals, and the way people actually search today.
I start by understanding your business. I’m a marketer first, so I look at your goals, challenges, and customer journey. That helps me set realistic priorities that actually move the needle. I also stay on top of SEO trends, including AI-powered search tools like Google's SGE.

General FAQs

Helpful info about working with me, from payments to process.
Just me. I don’t outsource or hand you off to an account manager. You’ll get consistent communication, personal attention, and work done by someone who understands your project inside out.
No. Everything is done in-house by me. That’s how I make sure the quality, strategy, and execution all stay aligned.
I work with a range of clients: local service providers in Eastbourne, startups, established businesses across the UK, and international clients in the US and France. I value long-term relationships and work best with people who want a collaborative, strategic partner.
Yes. I offer one-off payments, monthly retainers for SEO or maintenance, and staged milestone-based payment plans for website projects.
Absolutely. While I love meeting local clients in person, I also work seamlessly with businesses across the UK and abroad through video calls and shared tools.
