Why Choose Professional Web Design in Telford?
Slow Loading = Lost Customers
40% of visitors leave if a site takes more than 3 seconds to load. WordPress/Wix sites often take 3-6 seconds.
Hidden from Google
Google penalises slow websites. If customers can't find you, they're finding your competitors instead.
Set and Forget = Forgotten
Most web designers disappear after launch. Your website becomes outdated and stops working for you.

"I originally reached out to Tony to help with SEO but unfortunately my website crashed to a point where I thought it was beyond repair. I was panicking and didn't know what to do when Tony asked if I would allow him to help me recover my website. After a very long few weeks I got a message from Tony telling me my website is back up and running. Something I thought was gone for good. Couldn't recommend him enough for his work. He also helped with SEO for the website! Thank you Tony"

Frequently Asked Questions About Website Design in Telford
Get answers to common questions about our services
Working with a local Telford web designer means you speak directly to Tony—no sales teams, no middlemen, no hidden fees. With 25+ years experience, Tony understands local businesses and provides personalised service that large agencies can't match. You get his mobile number, not a ticket system. Plus, supporting local businesses strengthens our Telford and Shropshire community.
The £49/month package includes: 5-page responsive website optimised for mobile and desktop, professional design tailored to your business, basic SEO optimisation (meta tags, fast loading, mobile responsive), secure hosting with 99.9% uptime, SSL certificate for security, contact forms and Google Maps integration, ongoing technical support, and all updates included. You own your domain and content. Perfect for local trades, service businesses, and startups who need a professional online presence without large upfront costs.
Most websites are live within 2-4 weeks from our initial consultation. Timeline depends on: how quickly you provide content (text, images, logos), complexity of your chosen package, and number of revision rounds needed. Week 1: Consultation and planning. Week 2: Design and development. Week 3: Review and refinement. Week 4: Launch and training. Rush services available if you need to launch faster. Tony works efficiently because every day without a website is a lost opportunity for your business.
You own all content, images, and your domain name. The website design and code are licensed to you while you maintain the monthly subscription. If you cancel, you can take your content and domain elsewhere (though you'd need to rebuild the design, or pay a one-off fee for the code). This model keeps costs low while ensuring flexibility. Think of it like car finance—you're paying for the service and design, but your business assets (content, domain, data) are always yours.
Absolutely. All our websites include basic SEO optimisation (fast loading, mobile responsive, meta tags, schema markup). For businesses wanting to actively rank on Google, we offer comprehensive Business Growth Packages from £169/month including: keyword research, monthly content creation, Google My Business optimisation, local Telford SEO, link building, and monthly reporting. Tony has 25+ years SEO experience and knows what actually works, not just what sounds good.
Three key differences: 1) Performance—our websites load 3-5x faster than DIY builders, which matters for SEO and user experience. 2) SEO—we build SEO in from day one, not as an afterthought. DIY platforms are notoriously difficult to rank. 3) Expert guidance—Tony's 25+ years experience means you get strategic advice on what actually works, not just a template. DIY builders seem cheap until you factor in the learning curve, time investment, and poor results. Our £49/month gets you professional quality without the hassle.
Yes. All our pay monthly packages include ongoing technical support, updates, and security patches. Need content updates, new pages, or functionality changes? We handle that. No surprise bills for simple changes. For businesses needing strategic support (SEO, content creation, conversion optimisation), we offer Business Growth Packages from £169/month. We're here for the long-term, not just a launch-and-disappear agency.
Absolutely. Start with the £49 Starter package, then upgrade as your business grows. Want to add ecommerce? We can do that. Need more pages? No problem. Most clients start small and scale up within 6-12 months as they see results. No penalties for upgrading or changing packages—we simply adjust your monthly billing. This flexibility is perfect for businesses that want to minimise risk while testing their online presence.
