Website Design for Small Businesses

Fast, accessible WordPress websites built around what your customers need to find and do.

A website is usually the center of your marketing: it’s where search, ads, email and referrals send people. I design and build sites that load quickly, read clearly on a phone, follow accessibility guidelines and make it easy to get in touch.

What’s included

Structure & content

  • Site map and page plan around your services and customers

Performance

Optimized images and a lean setup aimed at good Core Web Vitals.

Handover

Training, short how-to notes and admin access in your name. Optional ongoing care.

Who it’s for

  • Small and mid-size businesses replacing an outdated or hard-to-edit site
  • Manufacturers that need clear capability pages and a quote-request path
  • Professional services firms where credibility and clarity drive the decision
  • Restaurants that need accurate menus, hours and maps links
  • Startups launching a first site with measurement set up from day one

How it works

  1. Free 30-minute call about goals, audience and must-haves.
  2. Scope & quote: page list, features, timeline and price in writing.
  3. Design & build on a staging site, with reviews at agreed checkpoints.
  4. Launch: redirects, sitemap, Search Console and analytics checks.
  5. Handover: training, documentation and optional ongoing care.

Standards I build to: the W3C WCAG guidelines, Google’s Core Web Vitals and the Google SEO Starter Guide.

How I keep it honest

  • Scope, deliverables and timing agreed in writing before work starts.
  • No guaranteed rankings, leads or revenue. Results depend on your market, budget and follow-through.
  • No fake reviews, invented testimonials or misleading claims, ever.
  • No legal, tax or accounting advice; I’ll tell you when you need a specialist.
  • You own your accounts, website, content and data.

Pair it with marketing

A new site works best with a plan to bring people to it. See my marketing services for Boston businesses.
