Web Design / Berkhamsted
Web design for Berkhamsted independents who sell on the high street and online
Berkhamsted has a High Street of independent shops, cafes and practices, and a loyal local customer base that is increasingly happy to order online. The website is where those two meet.
10+ years designing and building websites for local firms
Custom WordPress, not a theme with your logo swapped in
Serving Berkhamsted, Tring and the Chiltern edge of Hertfordshire
Why Berkhamsted firms call me
Web design for independents who compete with the big names online
A good independent does things a chain cannot: it knows its customers and its stock. A website should show that, and let people buy or book without friction.
Shops that sell online
WooCommerce set up around how you really sell: stock, delivery, click and collect and payments that suit the way you work.
Practices and studios that take bookings
Clear services, honest pricing information where you can share it, and a booking route that is easy for a first-time customer.
A look that matches the shop
Photography, type and colour that carry the feel of your premises online, instead of a generic template.
One person accountable, start to finish
I design it, build it and look after it. There is no agency layer between you and the person making changes.
An independent's advantage is that it knows its customers. The website should show it.

What changes
The Berkhamsted website most independents get vs. the one that matches the shop
The common approach
- A template shop that looks like every other template shop
- Checkout that confuses customers and loses sales
- Product photos that do not match the real thing
- A site you are afraid to touch in case it breaks
How I do it
- A design that carries the character of your premises
- A checkout tested the way customers use it
- Photography and copy that look and sound like you
- A site you can edit, with me to call when you need help
Questions people actually ask
FAQ
Do you build online shops for small independents?
Yes, using WooCommerce on WordPress. I will keep the setup as simple as your business allows, so you are not paying for features you will not use.
Can I keep selling in the shop while the site is built?
Of course. Nothing changes for your customers until launch, and I plan the switchover for a quiet moment.
Do you only work in Berkhamsted?
I work with firms across Hertfordshire and London, and Berkhamsted is one of the towns I cover, including Tring and the surrounding area.
How much of the site can I update myself?
Products, prices, opening hours, news and photos, all from a simple dashboard. I show you how at handover and I am a call away afterwards.

What clients say
Have worked with Terri and the team for over a decade. Brought them in to help reset cyber messaging and awareness for the biggest global news media provider in the world!
Terence and his team have been exceptional. Have used them for years, they built me a custom made website and occupy monthly SEO which has been fantastic in gaining so many enquiries every month. My company Xclusive can now expand as a result.
