When someone nearby searches for what you do, your business should be there.

Working with businesses in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, Shoeburyness, Rayleigh, Rochford and across Essex.

Everything a local business needs to be found online

No jargon and no monthly agency fees. Just a good website that does its job.

  • Found on Google

    Built for local search from day one, so people in your area can find you when they need you.

  • Works on every phone

    Most of your customers will visit on their phone. Your site will look sharp and load fast on all of them.

  • Enquiries to your inbox

    A simple contact form that sends new enquiries straight to you, ready to reply to.

  • A proper business email

    Swap the Gmail address for hello@yourbusiness.co.uk and look the part on every email you send.

  • Your reviews, front and centre

    Let happy customers do the selling. Testimonials and reviews shown where new visitors will see them.

  • Set up and ready to go

    I help you get your domain, hosting and email in place, so you’re ready for customers from day one.

How it works

It depends entirely on what you need, but your online presence could be set up in as little as a week. You’ll see your site at every stage.

Client work

I’m building my first sites for local businesses now. Want yours to be one of them?

Things I’ve built for fun

Side projects I make in my own time. Some are useful, some are silly, all of them are live.

Hi, I’m Lloyd

I’ve been designing websites since the 1990s, back when every line of code had to be typed by hand into a text editor. Since then I’ve built all sorts, from an internet radio platform to a stats tracker for my kids’ games console rivalry.

Now I’m putting that to work for the businesses that make our towns what they are: the cafés, salons, trades and family shops that deserve to be as easy to find online as the big chains.

When you work with me, you deal with me directly. No account managers, no call centres and no being tied into contracts you don’t understand.

Questions people ask

Can’t see yours? Just ask.

How much does a website cost?

Every business needs something slightly different, so I’ll give you a clear quote after we’ve talked. You’ll also pay for your own domain name and hosting, which usually costs a few pounds a month.

How long does it take?

That depends entirely on how complex your needs are, but we could have your online presence set up in as little as a week.

I don’t have a logo or photos. Is that a problem?

Not at all. I can help with a simple logo, and we can use good-quality stock photos until you have your own.

Do you only work in Southend?

I’m focused on Southend-on-Sea and the rest of Essex, where I can meet you in person. If you’re further away, get in touch anyway and we can work over email.
