For business advisers
When your client needs a website, but the budget is tight.
I'm Roger, a web developer based in Devizes, self-employed since 2000. I build websites for start-ups, small businesses and charities across Wiltshire.
If you advise businesses, as a Growth Hub navigator, an accountant, an enterprise adviser or a mentor, you'll know the problem: your client needs a proper website, the budget is small, and the choice seems to be a weekend fighting a template or an agency they can't afford. If a third option sounds useful for the people you support, I'd be glad to help.
What your client gets
A proper website, not a template, and theirs to keep.
They own it outright
The domain is in their name and the site is theirs. No platform to be locked into, and nothing held back if they ever want to move on.
No monthly platform fees
No subscription that creeps up every year. Running costs are kept small and explained up front, so they can plan for them.
Built for phones
Most of their customers will find them on a phone, so that's where the site is designed to work first: fast, clear and easy to get in touch.
Found on Google
The basics done properly: a fast, well-structured site, and help with their Google Business Profile, so local customers can actually find them.
One person, start to finish
They deal with me directly, in plain English. No account managers, no being passed around, and someone who still answers once the site is live.
Privacy taken seriously
No tracking pixels or data sold on. Their site, and their customers' details, are handled properly under UK data protection law.
Built for small budgets
Start small, grow when they're ready.
Most new businesses don't need twenty pages on day one. A focused one-page site that says what they do, shows their work and makes it easy to get in touch is often the right start, and it can grow with them later.
Everything is scoped and quoted up front, so there are no surprises. If you'd like to know what a sensible starting point costs before you mention me, just ask and I'll tell you straight.
What your client needs to bring
- Their business name, and a logo if they have one
- A few words about what they do and who for (I'll help with the wording)
- Some photos of their work, premises or products
- How customers should get in touch
That's it. I take care of the rest, from the domain to going live.
Referring a client
Easy for you, no pressure for them.
Point them to my contact page, or introduce us by email, whichever suits. I'll have a friendly, no-obligation chat with them, and there's never any hard sell.
If your client is happy for me to, I'll keep you in the loop, so you know how they got on. And if you'd like a quick chat first to see whether I'm a good fit for the businesses you support, I'd be glad to.
Whether or not they hire me
Help for you and the businesses you support.
