Web Design / Cambridge

Web design for Cambridge businesses that need to be taken seriously

Cambridge customers are used to checking things properly: a firm's credentials, its reviews, how its site reads on a phone. A templated website gives away the first impression. I design and build the one that earns it.

Why Cambridge firms call me

Web design for a city that does its homework

Cambridge is a university city with research and technology firms, professional practices and a lively independent trade side by side. Whichever of those you are in, people look you up before they get in touch, and your site is usually what they find first.

Built to be found by people searching in Cambridge

Pages that say plainly what you do and where you do it, structured data that matches your Google Business Profile, and a site fast enough on a phone for someone searching on the move.

Custom, not a theme

Designed around your services and your customers, then built in custom WordPress, so the site does what your business needs rather than what a template allows.

Clear for every kind of visitor

A site that works for a customer on a phone, a procurement team comparing suppliers and a first-time visitor who has never heard of you, with the detail laid out so each can find what they came for.

One person accountable, start to finish

The person you brief is the person who builds it, and the person you call when something needs changing a year from now.

In a city where people check everything, the website should hold up to being checked.

What changes

The Cambridge website most firms get vs. the one built for you

The common approach

  • A template with the city name swapped in
  • Promises of page one with nothing to back them up
  • A fee that grows as the project goes on
  • No one to call once it is live

How I do it

  • A site built around your services and your reputation
  • Honest advice on which searches are worth competing for
  • A clear scope and price agreed before work starts
  • Support from the person who built it
Questions people actually ask

FAQ

Why hire a web designer in Cambridge rather than a large agency?

With an agency you get an account manager and a rotating team. Here you get the person who actually writes the code, which matters most when something needs changing two years after launch.

Is a web designer different from a WordPress developer?

Not here. The same person designs the site and writes the code, so nothing is lost between a designer's mock-up and a developer's build, and there is one person to ask when something needs to change.

Do you work with Cambridge businesses even though you are based in Watford?

Yes. I am based in Watford, about 44 miles away. Most of the process is calls and shared screens, which works the same from Watford as from anywhere else, and I can travel to you at the key moments, such as the kick-off and the launch.

Which parts of Cambridge and the surrounding area do you cover?

Cambridge city centre, Histon, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Sawston and the villages around them are all fine. Royston and Baldock, nearer my base, have pages of their own. Where your customers are matters more than where your office is.

What kinds of business do you build for?

Professional firms, clinics, independent retailers, hospitality, trades and small technology businesses are all a good fit. The common thread is a business that wants a site built around how it actually wins work, rather than a template with its name on it.

Will a new website help me show up in Cambridge searches?

A properly built site gives you the foundations: fast pages, clear service and location content, structured data and a Google Business Profile that matches it. It cannot guarantee a ranking in Cambridge, and anyone who promises you a position is guessing. What I can promise is that the technical groundwork is done properly.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what the site has to do, because a brochure site and a booking system are different jobs. I would rather look at what you need and then give you a figure than quote from a menu. My guide to what freelance web developers cost in the UK sets out the ranges.

Can you help if my current site was built by someone else and just needs fixing rather than replacing?

Sometimes, yes. It depends what is underneath it. A quick look at the existing build usually tells us whether it is worth patching or genuinely faster to start again properly.

Sites I built that are running right now

Open any of them. These are live businesses trading on the site, not mockups, and each one has a write-up of what was built and why.
