Proposals list features rather than outcomes. Scope here is written as a page set, a content list and a delivery order, so what you are buying is legible.

Website design for small businesses
A website a small business can afford to run and still be found with.
Website design scoped for small businesses: a defined page set, real content written for the searches that lead to work, and a build that stays cheap to maintain. Scope is agreed before anything starts, so the cost is known and the site is not oversized for the business behind it.
What changes
- A known scope and a known delivery order
- A page set matched to real demand rather than a template
- A site that stays cheap to run after launch
Fit
Who this is for
- Owner operated businesses that need the site to bring in enquiries
- Businesses replacing a template site that never earned any work
- Anyone who needs a fixed, understandable scope rather than an open ended project
- Small businesses with an existing site that already ranks and must not be broken
Problems
What this work removes
Each engagement starts with the constraint that is costing the most right now.
A site that is too big for the business
Dozens of pages nobody maintains age badly. A small business usually needs a homepage, a page per service, a proof page and a contact path that works.
Content nobody ever wrote
Most small business builds stall on copy. Content is drafted from a structured interview and reviewed by you, rather than left as an open task.
Losing existing rankings at launch
Old addresses are kept by default. Anything that has to change gets a written reason and one permanent redirect, checked before and after launch.
Process
How the work runs
- 01
Scope
Services, service area, demand and the page set required to cover it, agreed in writing before work starts.
- 02
Content
A structured interview turns what you know into page copy, reviewed by you before design.
- 03
Design and build
Templates drawn once and reused, built server rendered with a visible enquiry path on every page.
- 04
Launch checks
Redirect map, metadata parity, form testing and a search visibility check after the switch.
Deliverables
What you receive
- 01Agreed page set and content plan before work begins
- 02Designed and built templates covering every page in scope
- 03Page copy drafted from your input and approved by you
- 04Metadata, schema, sitemap and internal linking
- 05Enquiry form delivering to a real inbox, tested end to end
Technical approach
How it is built and checked
- One page per search intent instead of near duplicate pages
- Server rendered content so nothing important depends on scripts
- Image sizing, alt text and heading order handled during the build
- A written redirect map whenever an existing site is being replaced
