Common questions
How much does a website cost?
Pricing is fixed and transparent, with no hidden agency fees, and you can pay upfront or spread the cost. Simple sites for local businesses start low, and I will always give you a clear price before any work begins. Your first year of hosting is included free. For a full breakdown of what websites cost across the UK, read the honest guide to website costs.
Do you write the content, or do I have to?
I write all the text for you. You do not need to be good with words. I take what you tell me about your business and turn it into clear, professional copy.
Will it work on phones and show up on Google?
Yes. Every site is mobile-friendly and fast, and built with the basics of local SEO, plus your Google Business Profile, so you have the best chance of being found. If you already have a site that is not appearing, read why isn't my website showing up on Google, and check where you stand with is my website mobile friendly.
I already have a website. Can you still help?
Yes, and that is often the better place to start. Usually the site itself is fine, the real problem is that people are not finding it, or it quietly sends them to a competitor who looks more trustworthy online. I can look at how you show up on Google and to AI assistants like ChatGPT, tell you honestly what is holding you back, and fix the parts that actually bring in enquiries. Have a look at the full range of ways I can help.
Can you help my business show up on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT?
Yes. That covers Google Business Profile setup and optimisation as part of local SEO in Bolton so you appear in local searches and on the map, the on-page and schema work that makes a site readable to search engines, and how your business comes back when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for a recommendation. If you want to know where you stand first, the AI Opportunity Audit includes an external visibility audit across those engines and tells you what is currently showing and what is missing.
Do you handle hosting and updates?
Yes. Your first year of hosting is free, and I can look after ongoing updates and small changes so you are not left on your own after launch.
What areas do you cover?
Bolton and the surrounding areas across Greater Manchester, in person and remotely. A little further out is fine too, just ask.
Is there a difference between web design and website design?
No, they are the same thing, and people search for both. Web design, website design, web development, having a website built: they all describe the same job, which is designing and building the site and getting it live. If someone quotes you differently for one than the other, ask them what the actual difference is in the work.
Are you a web design agency in Bolton?
No, I'm a freelance web designer, or more accurately an independent consultant. There is no agency, no account managers and no overheads built into the price: you deal directly with me from first chat to launch. The honest comparison of freelancer versus agency costs is in the website cost guide.
Do you do freelance web development as well as web design?
Yes. Websites are one part of it: I also build web apps, booking and quote tools, sort Google and AI visibility so you actually get found, provide IT support, and set up practical AI automation. One person for all of it, so nothing falls between a designer, a developer and an IT company.
