Web Design in Allestree, Derbyshire

Allestree’s got the whole of Derby on its doorstep, so whoever’s looking for what you do has plenty of choice. The website is where they decide. I build sites that make your case fast on a phone, and that Google and ChatGPT can read properly.

Is there a web designer near Allestree?

Yes. North Bear Media is run by Norton Hunt in Belper, about five miles up the A6 from Allestree, and designs and builds websites for businesses on the northern edge of Derby, written so Google and ChatGPT can read them. Websites are quoted as projects after a first conversation, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the usual place to start.

Web design for Allestree businesses.

Allestree’s a leafy, well established part of Derby on the northern edge, up by Allestree Park, and handy for the A6 and the A38.

That also means the rest of Derby is a short drive for your customers, and so is every firm in it. If your website’s slow or looks dated on a phone, they go back and try the next one. That’s work you never even hear about.

The fix is straightforward. Say clearly, early on the page, what you do and how to get hold of you, then show proper photos of you and your work so you don’t look like everybody else. I take those photos myself.

I’m five miles up the A6 in Belper, so we sit down over a coffee in Allestree or at yours before I design anything.

How it works if you want a website from me.

A build’s priced after a quick chat, so you know where you stand before anything starts.

I get a solid site live first: a home page, an about page, your services and a contact page. Then I build on it month to month instead of trying to do everything in one go. You get something working quickly, and it keeps getting better.

Once it’s live, Found & Filmed is the monthly side, at £995 a month. That covers getting found on Google and in AI search, a filming day at yours every quarter, the video and stills from it edited and posted, and the hosting and care of the site. It rolls monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, and it costs far less than hiring someone and buying them the kit.

Already got a site and don’t know if it’s doing anything? The MOT’s £295 and it tells you before you spend anything bigger. It might only need a few fixes, and I’ll tell you exactly which.

  • START SMALL //Home, about, services and contact, then add to it
  • BUILD //Priced after a quick chat
  • MONTHLY //Found & Filmed, £995, rolling
  • IF YOU'VE GOT A SITE //The £295 MOT tells you if it needs replacing

From a coffee in Allestree to a live site.

Here’s how it goes.

  1. 01 //

    Coffee

    We sit down, in Allestree or on a call, and you tell me what you do and who you want more of.

  2. 02 //

    Sites you like

    You send me a few websites you’d be happy to have, from any trade, and I take your taste from those.

  3. 03 //

    Rough build

    I build it rough first and send you a link, then we change whatever doesn’t feel like you.

  4. 04 //

    Live

    It goes live quick to load and built for phones first, with the words set up for people searching in Allestree and the rest of Derby.

Common questions about web design in Allestree.

How much does a website cost in Allestree?

A website’s priced after a quick chat, once I know what it has to do. Website Care is £45 a month with the build and covers the hosting and looking after it. If you want the whole thing kept going, Found & Filmed is £995 a month with the hosting and care included. Want to know what your current site needs first? The Marketing MOT is £295.

How long does it take to build a website?

A smaller site can be live quickly and added to as you go, which is how I get most businesses up and running. I give you a proper timeline once I’ve scoped it, based on what’s going on it.

Do you use templates?

Not always. First I ask you for a few websites you like the look of, from any trade, so the design comes from your taste, not a theme. Whether it’s built from scratch or on a platform comes down to whether you want to edit it yourself, and I’ll tell you which suits you.

Will my website work on mobile?

Yes. In Allestree people compare you with a few Derby firms on their phone, flicking between them, so I build the phone version first and make sure it loads fast and shows what you do and how to ring you right at the top.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. I host it and look after it once it’s live, including adding pages as you take on new services. If you go on Found & Filmed, the hosting and care are part of the £995 a month.

The rest of the toolbox, in Allestree.

You’ve got a business to run. If a website’s not the only thing on your list, here’s what else I do for Allestree businesses.

P198// OVER TO YOU

If somebody in Allestree asks ChatGPT who does what you do, does your website give it anything to go on?

That’s one of the things the MOT checks, and you can buy it on here for £295 without talking to me. Or book a call if you’d rather talk first.
