Web Design in Crich, Derbyshire
A business in Crich has two lots of customers: the people who live round here, and the visitors coming up for the tram museum and the views. Your website has to work for both. I plan it around exactly that, and write it so Google and ChatGPT can make sense of it too.

Who builds websites for businesses in Crich?
North Bear Media, run by Norton Hunt in Belper, about four miles from Crich, builds websites for village businesses that serve locals and visitors to the Crich Tramway Village, set up so Google and ChatGPT can read them. A build is priced after a quick chat, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the usual place to start.
Web design for Crich businesses.
Crich is a hilltop village with views right across Derbyshire, known for the Crich Tramway Village museum and the Crich Stand memorial.
For a business here, visitors want different things from your website to the regulars. A visitor is on their phone halfway up the hill, wanting to know when you’re open and how to find you. The village already knows all that. Miss the visitor and they go somewhere else.
I’ve solved this one before. Just down the road in Ambergate I redeveloped the website for RMB Garage Services, and a garage has the same problem as most Crich businesses: the people nearby need to find it and then ring.
You’ve got a business to run, so I come to you. I’m four miles away in Belper, and we’ll sort it over a coffee in Crich.

So what would it actually involve?
The website’s priced after a quick chat, and I come and see what you need first.
A village business doesn’t need anything massive. It needs the practical stuff right at the top, when you’re open and how to find you, because that’s what a visitor’s after. And it needs real photos of the place, not stock. I bring the cameras and take them myself, for far less than hiring and training someone.
If you want it kept going through the year, Found & Filmed is £995 a month: the Google and AI search side, a filming day at yours each quarter, the posting and the replies, and the hosting and care of the website. Quarterly filming suits a village where visitors come and go with the seasons. It’s rolling with 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop.
Want to know where you stand first? The MOT’s £295. One of the things I check is whether ChatGPT and Google mention you when somebody asks for what you do round Crich.
- NEAR THE TOP //When you’re open and how to find you
- BUILD //Priced after a quick chat
- THROUGH THE YEAR //Found & Filmed, £995 a month
- QUICK CHECK //The £295 MOT
From the first chat to a site visitors can actually use.
Here’s how it goes.
- 01 //
Who it’s for
We talk about which of your customers are local and which are visiting, and what each lot needs from the site.
- 02 //
The practical bits
Opening times, directions, parking if it matters, and how to book or get in touch all go at the top, where nobody has to scroll for them.
- 03 //
A rough version
You get a rough version on a link, and you tell me what you’d change.
- 04 //
Live, then through the year
It goes live built for phones first, then I update it as the seasons and your offers change.

Common questions about web design in Crich.
How much does a website cost in Crich?
Websites are priced after a quick chat, and for a village business it’s usually a smaller job. Website Care is £45 a month, and if you go on Found & Filmed at £995 a month that’s already included. Want a look at your current site first? The Marketing MOT’s £295.
How long does it take to build a website?
If you want it live before the busier months, tell me the first time we talk and I’ll tell you straight whether that’s realistic when I scope it. Otherwise it comes down to the size of the site and getting the photos done.
Do you use templates?
That comes down to the job. What’s never a template is the photos and the words, because a visitor decides whether to come up the hill partly on what your place looks like. Whether it’s built from scratch or on a platform comes down to how you want to run it after.
Will my website work on mobile?
Yes, I design for phones first. In a village people visit, somebody checking when you’re open or how to find you is almost always on a phone, so that version has to work best.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. I host it and keep it up to date once it’s live, so if your opening hours change for the winter, you message me the new ones and it’s done. On Found & Filmed that’s all part of it.

Everything else I handle for Crich businesses, plus the garage down the road in Ambergate.
When somebody planning a day at the tram museum looks for what you do in Crich, do they find you?
The MOT shows you. I ask ChatGPT and Google what a visitor would ask and write down who comes up. It’s £295, and if you’d rather talk first, book a call.
