website & marketing
platform design
My website designs are bespoke and
I specialise in different websites than most.
Small businesses need affordable marketing platforms that can easily
be managed. Anything from booking services, to events, to classes,
to an online shop or gallery - these can be managed online and
free up a whole lot of time for you to focus on what you want to do.
I enjoy building Small Holiday Let websites and they differ in size
according to what functions are required eg Links to external booking agencies
or bookings on the actual site. Having your own site to promote your
Holiday Cottage or letting gives you more control over bookings,
communications and how you wish to promote your Let.
Event and charity sites - Delivering specific needs. One key lesson I have learnt during Covid lockdowns is to be flexible and look for alternative means to operate your business and fundraising.
I have enjoyed helping charities build and operate raffles and events and promote via social media channels.
Wedding organisation. So much has been delayed and changed couples far and wide have had to alter their nuptial plans more than once. By moving them online you have more control and flexibility to be able to communicate any last minute changes, link with registries or charities, share wedding photos - basically everything can be connected to the one site.

For each of these concepts costs differ according to functionality and size. I offer discounts to charities of course.
To give you a broad idea of costs to consider:
Domain name - can range from £5 - £100 a year
Website package/ functionality and length - prices can alter according to length (eg from £6/mth for basic to £16/mth for business). If you need payments or booking functions you will need a business function. If you prefer an annual site then the costs will be discounted.
Number of pages/ functions to be built. For example a wedding site or letting site can be 1-5 pages (approx £150)
Management fees for events, tickets, bookings etc. For example, a ticketing event/raffle that lasts a couple of months could add £50 to your costs.
I have experience with a number of different website providers (Squarespace, WooCommerce, Wordpress, Fasthosts, to name a few). Please note I prefer to use Wix as it is easier for my customers to use and keep a day to day eye on their events and bookings. Each project is bespoke and has it's own brief so please contact me to discuss your ideas and I can work with you on costs to fit your budget.
I look forward to creating with you soon.
