Web design for small businesses in Beverley
Beverley is the county town of the East Riding, with the Minster, the Saturday Market and streets full of independent shops and cafés. I build simple websites for businesses in Beverley and the villages around it.
An independent town that people travel to
Beverley has more independents than most towns its size, and people come in from Hull and the villages to use them. Many check online first: is the café open, does the shop have it, can I park nearby. Your own site is where you get to answer that properly, in your words, instead of hoping a Facebook post turns up.
Race days, market days and the Minster
The racecourse, the Saturday and Wednesday markets, festivals and visitors to the Minster all change how busy you are. A site where you set the hours yourself, add "open late this Friday" or "fully booked Saturday" and take it down again keeps people from turning up at the wrong time.
Cafés, tea rooms and places to eat
For food, the essentials are the menu as text, today's hours, whether you take bookings and how to ring. Dog-friendly, gluten-free and outdoor seating are worth saying plainly, because people search for those exact words. More at websites for cafés.
Shops, salons and trades
Independent shops do best when they look like what they are: real stock, a person behind the counter, honest photos. Salons need a price list and an easy way to ask for a slot. Trades covering the East Riding need a list of places they work and a quote form. See shops, salons and trades.
Prices
A new site is £350, half up front and half when you are happy and it is live. A refresh is £250, fixes start at £60, and there is no monthly hosting fee. The domain is about £10 a year in your name.
Questions people ask
You are based near York. Do you cover Beverley?
Yes. It is about 30 miles from York and I cover it, along with Cottingham, Driffield and the villages around. Most of the work is done by message, and I can visit if you want to meet.
Can the site handle table or appointment requests?
Yes. A request form asks for the day, time and how many, and sends it to your email so you confirm it yourself.
Can I change my hours for race days or events?
Yes. You change hours and add a notice from your phone, and the "open now / closed" sign follows them.
What if I already have a site on a builder?
I can fix small things in place for £60. If it needs rebuilding, a refresh at £250 moves it to hosting with no monthly fee.
Send me your address, or your Facebook page if you have no site, and I will reply with what I would fix and what it would cost. I also cover Pocklington and York.
