Web Design / Royston

Web design for Royston firms that sell beyond the town

Royston sits at the northern edge of Hertfordshire, close to Cambridge and on the line into London. Its businesses often serve two or three markets at once, and the website has to speak to all of them.

Why Royston firms call me

Web design for businesses with more than one market

A firm that sells to local customers, to Cambridge and into London needs a site that makes each of them feel it is meant for them, without becoming three separate websites.

One site, several audiences

Clear paths for local customers and for businesses further away, so nobody has to dig to find what is relevant to them.

Credibility for business buyers

Proof, process and plain language for firms selling to other firms, where a vague website loses the tender before it starts.

Found beyond the town

Search structure that covers Royston, Cambridge and the wider area your customers search from.

One person accountable, start to finish

I build it and keep it running, so there is a single person to speak to about everything.

If your customers are not only local, your website cannot read as though it is.
What changes

The Royston website most firms get vs. the one that sells beyond the town

The common approach

  • A site that only makes sense to people who already know the town
  • Services described vaguely, to avoid excluding anyone
  • No evidence of the work you have done for other firms
  • A build that cannot grow as you reach new markets

How I do it

  • Clear for locals and for customers further afield
  • Specific services, specific customers, specific results
  • Case studies and proof placed where buyers look for them
  • A build that is simple to extend as the business grows
Questions people actually ask

FAQ

Do you work with Royston businesses?

Yes. Royston is in north Hertfordshire, and I work with firms there mostly by call and video, meeting in person where it helps.

Can you help us win business in Cambridge as well?

The site can be structured to serve both. Search results in Cambridge are competitive, and I will be honest about what is realistic and how long it takes.

We are a B2B firm. Is that different from a shop?

Yes. The site needs to show how you work, who you have worked for and what the first conversation looks like. I build around that rather than around a product catalogue.

Can you redesign a site that was built years ago?

Yes. I look at what is working first, keep what earns its place, and rebuild the rest, moving content and existing search rankings across carefully.

Proof

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.
