Web Design in Ilkeston, Derbyshire
I build websites for Ilkeston businesses, from a shop on Bath Street to a firm on the estates off Hallam Way, and my job is getting you found before people scroll past to a bigger name from Nottingham or Derby. I’m just over in Belper, so I come and see what you do first.

Who builds websites for small businesses in Ilkeston?
Norton Hunt of North Bear Media, a web and marketing studio in Belper, builds websites for Ilkeston and Erewash businesses, whether that’s a Bath Street shop or a firm off Hallam Way. You deal with him directly, not an account manager. A website is a project scoped first, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the usual place to start.
Web design for Ilkeston & Erewash businesses
Ilkeston’s got Nottingham on one side and Derby on the other, so being easy to find online matters more here than in most towns.
Whether it’s a shop on Bath Street or one of the trades and manufacturers round the Erewash valley, the customer is searching on their phone. If your site’s slow or doesn’t say what you do, they go to the next one, and the next one is often a bigger name from the city.
So I build the case for picking somebody local. The site is set up around the searches Ilkeston people use, and once they land on it, it tells them who you are and why they should use you over a firm in Nottingham.
And you deal with me directly, from just over in Belper, not an account manager reading off a script. When you want something changing, you explain it once and it’s done.

So what does an Ilkeston website cost?
There’s no price list for websites. Each one is priced after a quick chat, so I know whether it’s a few pages for a shop or something that has to do more.
If you’re up against the Nottingham and Derby firms, a new site on its own won’t hold its place for long. That’s where Found & Filmed comes in: £995 a month, rolling, with 30 days’ notice either way. It covers being found on Google and in AI search, with a filming day at yours every quarter so there’s new content going out, and the hosting and care are in it too. It costs less than a full-time hire, with no training, and I bring the kit.
Want to see where you stand first? The MOT’s £295, and I put two of your local competitors through the same checks so you see how you compare. It’s yours to keep, whatever you decide after.

How an Ilkeston website gets built
Here’s how it goes. The details shift a little from one business to the next.
- 01 //
Who’s coming up above you
I start with who comes up above you when somebody searches for your trade in Ilkeston, because that’s who the site has to beat.
- 02 //
Sites you like
You send me a few websites you like the look of, in any trade, and I build a rough version from those.
- 03 //
Your words, moved over
I pull most of the words across from your old site so you’re not stuck writing it all again, and you tell me what’s out of date.
- 04 //
Live, and counting enquiries
When it goes live, your contact form enquiries get counted, so you see exactly what the site’s bringing in.

Common questions about web design in Ilkeston.
Who are the best Ilkeston web designers?
Look at a few designers’ own websites and Google reviews before you choose, and pick the one that fits what you need. I’m Norton Hunt at North Bear Media, just over in Belper, and I build websites for Ilkeston businesses. I’ve got 5.0 from 22 reviews on Google, which you can read before you get in touch.
How much does website design in Ilkeston cost?
There’s no fixed price, because each website is priced after a quick chat. The things with set prices are the Marketing MOT at £295, which shows you where you stand now, and Found & Filmed at £995 a month if you want me to keep working on how you’re found.
How long does it take to build a website?
That comes down to how many pages you need and how quickly feedback goes back and forth, and you get a timeline from me when I scope it. As a guide, Sarah Woodman’s Google review for Enso HR Consultancy says hers went from the first conversation to live in around three to four weeks.
Do you use templates?
I pick whatever suits the business. Some sites I build from scratch and some go on a website platform, and either way the pages are planned around your own customers and the firms you’re up against in Ilkeston. I’ll go through the options with you before anything’s built.
Will my website work on mobile?
Yes. Somebody looking you up from Bath Street is on their phone, so the phone version gets designed first, then I make sure it works on a tablet and a desktop.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. I host your website and handle changes once it’s live, and most changes are a WhatsApp to me. On Found & Filmed, the hosting and care are already in the £995.

The rest of the toolbox, in Ilkeston.
The website’s one part of it. You’ve got a business to run, so if it’s the photos or the social side letting you down in Ilkeston, I’ll take those on too.
Does your website come up for Ilkeston searches, or does a Nottingham firm get there first?
The MOT tells you. I check where you come up on Google and in ChatGPT and score two of your competitors next to you. If you’d rather talk to me first, book a call.
