FAQs

Top FAQs about our small business website design

How much will my small business website cost?

You can find out how much your small business website will cost via our instant quote form. The exact figure depends on your requirements, such as the number of service pages, any functionality like appointment booking tools, such as Acuity Scheduling or Fresha.com or any additional pages like a Gallery, Prices & FAQs etc. When you select your requirements, the price will adjust accordingly.

We recognise that cash flow can be a significant factor for small-to-medium-sized businesses, which is why you can spread your Small Business Website payments over 24 months – with no interest. We aim to make it as easy as possible for businesses to get online and make their mark.

How long will it take to build my website?

Our website designers for small business aim to build your website as quickly as possible. The specific time frame will vary, depending on the number of pages, the functionality, and our current schedule. We’ll also ask you to send us some information – just bullet points (and photos if you have them) by a specific, agreed date, regarding the services your company offers, or the products you are selling.

Our Content Executives will use this information when writing the copy for your website. Quality is important to us, which is why we never rush any of our clients’ websites – our goal is to get it right the first time. Once you have committed to having a website built, we will book in the dates and liaise with you to ensure they fit in with your plans. We promise to keep you informed on the expected timeline and key dates throughout the process.

For more details, check out our blog: How long does it take to make a website for small businesses?

What isn’t included with the small business web design packages?

  1. monthly Website Care Package
  2. any functionality apart from contact forms and cookie consent management
  3. a professional logo
  4. monthly SEO
  5. Google Ads management
  6. social media management

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Your Monthly Website Care Package is necessary for your Small Business Website. Payable monthly at £49+VAT or in one lump sum, it has a minimum term of 24 months. The package includes fast & secure hosting with 99.9% uptime; daily website & webmail backups; an SSL security certificate; regular website checks & plugin updates by our web developers; actioning of website theme, plugin security, or Google Search Console alerts; the benefits of our professional Agency plugins; and unlimited minor content edits for life. (Check out our T’s & C’s)

If you don’t have a logo, we can provide professional logo design (no AI!). When you add this to your instant quote, the price will update accordingly. You can read more about our logo services.

Should you require any additional website functionality, we can add the appropriate apps to your website, including Online Appointment Bookings (such as Acuity Scheduling and Calendly), integration with Job Management or CRM Systems, Boiler & Heat Pump Quotes, and more.

Even though we’ll optimise your website for SEO from the start, your growing online presence, Google rankings & AI visibility, and lead generation will benefit immensely from ongoing monthly SEO.

To help you generate even more leads quickly, we can set up and manage monthly paid ads on Google, Meta and LinkedIn. To learn more, feel free to book a free call with our PPC (Pay Per Click) Manager.

Last but not least, to help you grow your social media presence, we also offer social media training courses on Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and LinkedIn.

Will I own my small business website & domain?

Once you have paid for your small business website in full (usually at the end of 24 months), you will own it.

We use tools with paid agency licences, including plugins, themes, website forms, security, etc. If you wished to move the website to another hosting provider, they would of course need these or equivalent licences. We would transfer your domain to you at that point also if you wished.

For more details about your website ownership, feel free to read our blogs: Will I own my website? and Will I own my domain? And, of course you can check out our T&Cs.

What aftercare support do you offer?

The best!! Many of our clients are very busy, and prefer that our team handle their website updates for them. This approach ensures that copy and images are optimised for SEO, and images are correctly named, geotagged, and compressed to prevent slow loading times. More importantly, it allows you to focus on what you do best, whether that’s walking dogs, personal training, running a care home, pest control, removals, book-keeping, teaching, or something else entirely!

After launching your new Small Business Website, we are committed to supporting you through our “WDSEO Care Package,” (£49+VAT/mo) designed to give you peace of mind:

1. Website maintenance
We actively monitor your website for issues and address any critical alerts immediately during office hours. Our team regularly accesses the backend to check and update both the theme and plugins, ensuring your site remains secure and operates smoothly.

2. Customer support
Our in-house, UK-based team is here for you Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM (excluding Bank Holidays). Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or to request additional services. You can phone us on 01752 291865, fill out our contact form, email us at [email protected], or start a Live Chat now!

3. Unlimited minor content updates for life
This includes changing images & adding new ones to your gallery, copy, reviews, opening hours, etc., on existing website pages.

Please note, this excludes new copy sections, menu changes, header footer changes and new website pages/posts/projects. To request updates, simply email us at [email protected], and we’ll aim to complete them within 5 working days.

How quickly will my website rank on Google?

As a general rule, we say to allow at least six months to start to gain real momentum. We would always rather be completely open and honest about this. SEO isn’t an overnight fix. It can sometimes be quicker; it can also take longer. The exact timeframe can vary based on several factors, including:

  • Local competition: The level of competition from other businesses in your area.
  • Your domain: The age and authority of your domain, but also its relevance to your services and location.
  • Website quality: Don’t worry – that’s why we’re here!
  • Your overall online presence: This includes your business listings, customer reviews, social media activity, backlinks and more.

To improve your website’s rankings on search engines, we recommend our ongoing monthly SEO services.
