Web design in Barnoldswick that brings the work in

It depends on the size of the site and what you need it to do. A tidy site for a local shop or trade usually starts in the low hundreds, and climbs from there for extras like online booking or a stack of pages. I price the whole job properly first, so you get a fixed figure in writing before I lift a finger — no day-rate meter running in the background.

Not at all. I'm in Burnley, a short drive over, so I'm glad to come and meet if you'd sooner talk it through face to face. Most of a job runs over the phone, email and a preview link I send you, though, so a fair few of my clients I never end up meeting in person.

A straightforward small-business site is usually two to four weeks from the go-ahead, depending on how quickly the words and photos come together. Bigger builds with booking or extra features take longer. You get an honest timeline in writing with the quote, not a vague 'it'll be ready when it's ready'.

That's a big reason people get in touch. Barlick is tucked away in its own corner, so when someone nearby searches — or someone over in Craven looking this way — you want yours to be the name that comes up. I build each site so Google can work out what you do and that you do it here, with the foundations in from the start.

Usually, yes — redesigns are a big part of what I do. If your current site is slow, looking its age, awkward on a phone or just not bringing the enquiries in, I can rebuild it properly. Where a page is already pulling traffic from Google, I hang on to it and carry that over so you don't slide backwards while the new site beds in.

Yes, and I start with the phone. Most folk will land on your site from a mobile while they're stood on the high street or sat at home, so I design for the small screen first and size it up for laptops after. It loads quick and the call and message buttons sit where a thumb can reach them.

No. Barlick sits right on the edge of things, so plenty of trade comes from the villages and towns around it — Earby, Salterforth, Foulridge, Kelbrook, down towards Colne, and over the border into Craven and Skipton. I set the site up to be found across that whole patch, not just in the town centre.

Everything is hand-coded in Laravel — the same framework a lot of larger companies run on — rather than dragged together in Wix or weighed down with a stack of WordPress plugins. That keeps the site fast, secure and simple to change as your business moves on. Given Barlick's engineering heritage, it feels right to build things properly.

Yes. It's yours — the design, the code and the content. You're not renting it off me and it won't vanish if you ever stop working with me. I'll happily point the domain and hosting wherever you like and hand everything over cleanly. No lock-in.

Absolutely. Plenty of businesses come to me with nothing more than a rough idea, and that's fine. I'll help shape the words so they sound like you and read well for both customers and Google, and steer you on the handful of photos worth taking. Good content is half of what makes a site work, so we sort it together.

Only if you want me to. Some people are happy to run it themselves once it's live; others would rather I handle the updates, backups, hosting and the odd change as things move on. There's an optional monthly arrangement for that with no long tie-in, and either way I'm at the end of the phone rather than a ticket queue.

Just get in touch for a no-pressure chat about the business and what you want the site doing — it costs nothing and there's no hard sell. From there I put together a clear, fixed quote with a timeline. Say yes and we're away; the whole thing runs through me start to finish, so you always know where it stands.
