Bright Star Inventory
A hand written inventory business site rebuilt with a page per service, a working enquiry form and search engine basics built in.
Stoke-on-Trent is a city of six towns with a proud making tradition and a busy local market. A templated website blends in. I design and build the one that gives yours a proper first impression.
Stoke-on-Trent is a Staffordshire city of six towns, known worldwide for ceramics and the Potteries. It has a university, a strong manufacturing and engineering base, a large logistics and distribution trade thanks to its central position, a growing digital and creative scene and a customer base across Staffordshire and Cheshire. Customers compare options online, and a generic site undersells a business with real substance.
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.
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.
Layout, type and imagery chosen for your business and audience rather than dropped into a stock theme, so the site feels as individual as the work behind it.
The person you brief is the person who builds it, and the person you call when something needs changing a year from now.
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.
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.
Yes. I am based in Watford, about 120 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.
Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stone are all fine. Where your customers are matters more than where your office is.
Manufacturing and ceramics firms, engineering and logistics businesses, professional services, clinics, trades and independent retailers 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.
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 Stoke-on-Trent, and anyone who promises you a position is guessing. What I can promise is that the technical groundwork is done properly.
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.
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.
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.

A new site for a workplace mediator, built so a visitor picks the problem they have rather than the service they think they need.
A 3D cost calculator built into a website for UK building firms, so the homeowner sees a range and the builder gets the brief. Currently in private preview.
I have been dealing with the directors of the company for a long time now for our marketing, social media, web design etc. Our experience has been excellent and they have really improved our sales and presence in the hospitality market.
Was looking to have a website built from scratch and had over 30 companies reach out to take on the project, but Terence stood out from the crowd. Response times are speedy and the way he speaks about his work is so passionate I couldn't not work with him on this project.
One email or a fifteen-minute call. I read and reply to every one myself.
