Local
Websites for York businesses
York is busy online as well as on its streets. Visitors and locals have plenty of choice, whether they’re looking for a café, a shop, a guesthouse or a local service, so your website has to work hard. It needs to load quickly on a phone, explain clearly what makes you different, and make it easy to book, buy or get in touch.
Big agencies can charge thousands for that. I build focused websites for small businesses at a fraction of the price, with the copy written properly rather than filled with stock phrases. Then I can keep them updated and secure on a simple monthly plan, so you can get on with running the business.

Words that work
I’m a copywriter, so your site doesn’t end up full of empty boxes or vague phrases. Visitors should know within seconds what you do and how to get in touch.

FAQ
Questions from York
There’s a lot of competition in York. Can a small site really compete?
Yes, if it’s clear and set up properly. Most small business sites lose out because they’re slow, vague or invisible to Google, not because they’re small. Good copy, fast pages and a well-kept Google Business Profile go a long way, especially for local searches.
Do we need to meet in person?
No. Most of the work happens by video call and email, which keeps things quick and keeps prices down. You’ll always deal with me directly, and you’ll never be passed on to an account manager.
