Web Development: a fast small-business site with AI search

A website starts at £2,499 for up to 8 pages plus one page family, designed, built, checked and launched. A page family is one template filled from a list, so ten services become ten pages without ten design fees. If you need more - a shop, a booking system, a members' area - I quote it before we start, never halfway through. Hosting on Cloudflare usually costs little or nothing at this size, and it is billed to you, not marked up by me.

Design, build, AI search setup, testing on desktop and phone, and launch on your domain. That covers up to 8 pages, one page family, a summary file for AI assistants, structured data, sitemaps, and Google and Bing verification. Copywriting help is included for the pages; product photography is not. If you want hundreds of town pages on top, Programmatic Local SEO is built to sit on the same site.

It means the site is set up so ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google can read it, trust it and quote it from day one. In practice that is a plain summary file (llms.txt), structured data that labels your services and prices, honest "last updated" dates, and clear rules for which robots may read what. It is the same work as AI Search Readiness, done during the build instead of bolted on later.

Yes for words, prices and list items; no drag-and-drop page builder. Your services, team or locations live in a simple list, and changing a row changes the page. That keeps the design from slowly falling apart, which is what happens to most builder sites after a year of edits. Bigger changes - a new page type, a new section - I do for you as a small fixed-price job.

Yes - speed is measured before launch, not hoped for. Every page is checked at desktop width and at 390 pixels, the width of a typical phone, and tested against Google's Core Web Vitals, the loading and layout measures Google uses. Images are sized for the screen that asks for them, and the site is served from Cloudflare, close to whoever is visiting.

Twenty working days from the day your brief and content arrive. Days 1-3 are the brief, 4-8 the design, 9-16 the build, 17-19 the checks and day 20 the launch. The thing that slows a site down is almost never the build - it is waiting for photos and prices. If you send those in the first week, the date holds.

Yes, completely. The code, the domain and the hosting account are in your name from the start, and you get the whole site as files at handover. You can take it to another developer the next day and they will find it tidy and documented. I would rather keep you because the work is good than because leaving is hard.

The site is yours to run, and I am on hand for changes as small fixed-price jobs. If you change it often, a Deployment Pipeline checks every update before it goes live. If you want to know the moment something breaks, Synthetic Monitoring tests your key pages every 2 hours and tells you before a customer does. Neither is required; plenty of sites run for years on the handover alone.
