Websites for local businesses · Burnley

Your website should be bringing you work.

I'm Lawrence, a marketer who builds websites. One fixed price. Faster than your old site on Google's own test, or you don't pay the second half. And you own every bit of it.

Takes a minute. No sign-up, no sales pitch.

The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Your site takes ages to load on a phone, and people don't wait around to find your number.
  • An agency quoted £2,000–£5,000, plus months of meetings.
  • Every small change means ringing someone and paying again.
  • You honestly can't tell whether your website brings in any work at all.

That's what I fix. A fast, simple site that makes it easy to call you, at a price you know up front.

No risk to you

Three promises, in writing on every quote

1

Fixed price

One price, agreed before I start, with what's included and what isn't written down. Anything extra is quoted separately, never slipped in.

2

Faster, or no second half

If Google's PageSpeed test has measured your current site, the new one has to beat it on the same test at handover, or you don't pay the second half.

3

No lock-in

You own everything. The domain is registered in your name, and the site, its files and every login are handed over to you. No lock-in and no exit fees: if you ever move on, it all goes with you.

Prices

Know the price before we start

An agency would typically quote £2,000–£5,000 for the same job.

Half to start, half when it goes live.

 

Website

£495

The site itself, done properly.

  • Up to 6 pages (home, services, about, contact, plus two others)
  • Works properly on phones, which is the whole point
  • Click-to-call, contact form, map and opening hours
  • Your logo, colours and photos applied throughout
  • Set up on your own domain with SSL
 

Brand + Website

from £1,495

For businesses that need to look established, not just present.

  • Everything in Website + Get Found
  • Logo design or refresh, with proper files you own outright
  • Colour palette, typography and a simple brand guide
  • Written copy for every page, so you don't have to write anything
  • Up to 10 pages

Something bigger? Online shops, email marketing and custom tools are quoted after a short chat, always as a fixed price.

How it works

Four steps, no jargon

  1. Free check

    Run the free website check. In a minute you'll see how your site does on the things customers notice first.

  2. 15-minute call

    Message me on WhatsApp and we'll find a time to talk about what your business needs. No jargon and no hard sell.

  3. Fixed quote

    One price, in writing, with exactly what's included. Half to start.

  4. Build and handover

    You see it and ask for changes before it goes live. At handover we run Google's speed test, and everything goes into your name.

Who you'll deal with

Hi, I'm Lawrence.

For over four years I've grown sales for premium brands from the inside: email, search, online shops and analytics. I also write the code, so websites, shops and tools get built properly rather than rented from someone else.

Most local businesses don't need an agency. They need a site that loads fast on a phone, gets found on Google and makes it easy to call. That's what I do, for a fixed price. I work with a small network of freelancers I trust, so each part of the job is done by someone who's good at it, and you deal with me from the first call to the handover.

Questions

What people usually ask

How can you be so much cheaper than an agency?

No office, no account managers and no sales team. You pay for the work, not the overheads.

How long does it take?

About a week from receiving your content.

Do I actually own it?

You own everything. The domain is registered in your name, and the site, its files and every login are handed over to you. No lock-in and no exit fees: if you ever move on, it all goes with you.

What if the new site isn't any faster?

If Google's PageSpeed test has measured your current site, the new one has to beat it on the same test at handover, or you don't pay the second half.

Can I change things myself afterwards?

Yes. You can edit the text yourself without ringing me.

What do you need from me?

Your words and photos within two weeks of starting (I can use stock photos if you haven't got any), and one person who can say yes to the design.

Do you only work in Lancashire?

No. I'm based in Burnley, Lancashire, and work with businesses all over the UK by phone, WhatsApp, video call and email.

Is it just you?

You deal with me throughout. For specialist parts of a job I work with a small network of freelancers I trust.

Next step

The easiest first step is free.

Check your website in a minute, or tell me the problem: a slow site, no enquiries, an expensive quote from someone else. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help, how, and what it costs.
