Your Vision, My Mission
You’re here! Thank you for considering working with me. Please fill out the form below to get in touch with me and we can start discussing how I can help you.
I’d love to hear from you to discuss what we can build together
I provide fully hosted websites ready for your customers to start using. I can also help with design, logos, content, stock imagery, Google analytics, Google business profile setup, blog setup and connections to social media. Security certificates, SEO and accessibility optimisation always comes included. But, the sky is the limit with the tools I use, so get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
I specialise in small business websites, portfolio sites and Shopify eCommerce stores.
Pricing is customised based on your requirements, but start at a one-time cost of £200 for a fully hosted 3-5 page website showcasing your business.
Simple 3-page business profiles can take only a few days once you approve early designs, so you can be showcasing your business online in no time at all!
Once you get in touch, I’ll contact you to discuss high level needs, help with recommendations and an estimated cost.
I’ll send a form for you to fill out which asks questions like, do you have a logo? Do you have a current website? What are your aims for your website? This gives me a platform to create a design prototype to share with you and give you a more accurate quote.
Once we reach an agreement on the design, I start building! This is where I need any brand colours, images, text and contact details you might be providing.
Once everything is set up I will share your website for confirmation and then complete the finishing touches, before going live!
Most simple websites will require little no to maintenance, but more complex websites with products or email automation will need extra care after launch.
I am happy to provide ongoing support and maintenance, so let’s discuss what might be needed for your website.
Yes! I provide access to the website where needed and full training. This allows you to add or update blog posts and products.
Yes. I always optimise websites for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) so they appear higher in the list of Google search results.
Keep in mind that the websites that appear at the top of search results for “hair salon” pay significant sums for advertisement. However there’s plenty we can do for free to ensure that you can be found if someone searches for “hair salon in Market Bosworth” for example.
I believe my local, personal service and attention to detail sets PageSmith apart from other web designers.
I have over 10 years experience in Business Analysis, 5 years in eCommerce and more recently Business Consultancy in the digital space, meaning I can recommend best practices for your business and help you thrive online (and offline).
I also use the best and most popular web tools to get your website set up quickly and make it future proof across devices. I keep up to date with the latest website design standards and ensure your website is fast, stable and secure.
Major web design tools consider themselves easy to use, but for someone not familiar with web design, they can be extremely daunting. Even experienced designers can come up against problems with responsivity for example.
Additionally the costs of online tools like Wix and Squarespace can quickly add up. Features like booking systems, customisation that may seem simple, removing watermarks, etc can add hefty monthly fees. These tools also make it very difficult to expand into new spaces without increasing subscription costs. I use professional tools and have business accounts with hosting companies meaning I often get much better rates.

A full service solution like PageSmith ensures your website is built on a professional and expandable platform that is always up to date and provides the best web experience for your customers.
Most web design companies will build you a website and hand it over to you. That experience can be done at PageSmith, but is not preferred, as it leaves you in a tricky situation when updates are required in the front and back end, and quickly increases the cost as you will be paying for single website hosting, domain costs and security certificates.
I believe the best experience for my clients is to have the domain name and hosting on my platform and give access to you through an online portal. This means for at least the first year, while my clients are the contracted owners of the website, I will have the overall administrative role and can continue to make updates if required and continue to give you support with training and advice.
Yes! My websites are first configured for desktop and then optimised for mobiles and tablets. This is call responsive design.
Did you know, over 56% of all UK internet traffic is from mobile phones?

Search Engine Optimisation
SEO is the process of improving your website’s visibility on search engines like Google. It involves optimising your website’s content, structure, and technical aspects to rank higher in search results, which means more people can find your website.
Web hosting is where your website’s files are stored. It’s like renting space on a computer (server) that’s connected to the internet 24/7. When someone visits your website, their browser accesses the files from your hosting server. Think of it like the land your house sits on.
Responsive web design means your website automatically adjusts to fit different screen sizes and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones). This ensures a good user experience for everyone.
An SSL certificate secures the connection between a web browser and a website. It encrypts data, making it harder for hackers to steal information. You’ll see a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar when a website has an SSL certificate. It is very important for security, and customer trust. At PageSmith, SSL certificates are always included.
I take pride in my work and always strive to provide the best service for my clients, so I value any feedback
