The first few seconds on a phone

A customer looking for an electrician or a builder in Exeter gives each website a few seconds, usually on a phone. In that time they want three answers. Do you do the job I need? Do you come out to where I live? Can I trust you?

Plenty of small business websites answer none of the three quickly. The services sit in one long paragraph, the area is given as “Exeter and surrounding areas”, and the proof is a stock photograph. We build websites that answer all three on the first screen and then make it easy to ring you.

Built around how Exeter searches

Exeter is not one market. A roofer wants work in Alphington, Exwick and Whipton. A caterer wants the university and the business parks. A garage on a trading estate wants the commuters from Cranbrook, Exminster and Crediton. We ask where your best customers come from and plan the pages to match.

  • Opening lines that say what you do and where, in the words customers type.
  • A separate page for each service worth having, so each can be found on its own.
  • The districts and towns you travel to, written into the pages and not pasted in as a list.
  • Your phone number at the top of every screen, ready to tap.
  • Your own photos and reviews in place of stock pictures.

How a website gets built

  1. We talk

    You tell us which work you want more of and where. We look at who gets that work online today.

  2. You see a design

    We show you the home page design. You ask for changes, and nothing is built until you are happy with it.

  3. We write and build

    We draft the wording with you, choose the photographs and build pages light enough to open fast on a phone.

  4. We set up Google

    Page titles and descriptions for each service and area, Search Console, and a check of your Google Business Profile.

  5. It goes live and we stay

    We host the website, keep it secure and make your changes. If you want to climb on Google, we add monthly SEO.

Website design in Exeter: your questions

Where in Exeter are you?

At Basepoint Business Centre in Yeoford Way, on Marsh Barton trading estate, EX2 8LB. Please ring 01392 409357 before you visit so that someone is in to see you.

What will a website cost me?

We build affordable websites for small businesses of every kind, whether you are starting up or long established. Tell us what you need and you get a written quote before any work begins.

How long until the website is live?

That depends on how many pages there are and how soon your photos and details reach us. We agree a date with you before work starts.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Not always. If it loads quickly, works on a phone and can be edited, we can often improve what is there. If it fails on those three, a rebuild usually costs less than years of patching. We will tell you which applies.

Who writes the words?

We do, with you. You tell us about the business in your own words and we turn it into clear pages. Nothing goes live until you have read it.

Will you look after the website once it is live?

Yes. We host it, keep it secure and make changes when you ask. If you want it to climb on Google as well, we offer monthly SEO.
