First websites · Stroud small businesses

A first website that explains your business clearly.

If you run a small business in Stroud and do not yet have a website, you do not need to arrive with a finished brief. Tell me what you offer, who you help and how people should contact you. I’m Simon, based in nearby Stonehouse, and I can turn that into a working website preview for you to review.

The preview is free. Hosting is £19.99/month only if you choose to launch.

What a first site needs

Make the basics easy to find.

Your first site can be small and still do a useful job. A visitor should quickly understand whether your business is right for them and what to do next.

What you do

Describe the main service or products in plain language. Include the details a customer usually asks before they get in touch.

Where and how you work

Say whether customers visit you, you travel to them, or you work remotely. List the areas you actually serve and any practical opening or appointment details.

How to contact you

Choose the next step you can manage: a call, email or simple enquiry form. Make that route easy to find on a phone.

A short starting brief

What should you send first?

A few notes are enough to begin. You can send rough answers; we can work through gaps together before anything goes live.

Your offer

What are your main services or products? If several are important, which one should a new visitor see first?

Your customers

Who do you want the website to help? Think about the questions they ask you and the information they need before contacting you.

Your materials

Share any logo, photos, prices, opening details or existing social profile you want reflected. Tell us if these still need to be prepared.

You do not need to buy a domain before enquiring. If you already have one, tell us; if you need one, we can agree ownership and any domain cost before launch.

From idea to launch

See the site before you commit.

A live example

Explore a site I built.

Vehicle Leasing Associates in Exeter is a live Get Digital Done client website. It is not a Stroud project; it shows how a small business can explain its offer, give visitors useful detail and make the enquiry route clear.

Before you enquire

Common first-site questions

Do I need a domain already?

No. We can discuss a suitable domain, ownership and any registration cost before launch.

Can I use my existing social pages?

Yes. Send links to the profiles you actively use. A website can present your core business details in one place and link visitors to those profiles.

Will the site rank on Google?

The site will be built so its pages can be discovered, but rankings depend on many factors and are never guaranteed.

What if I already have a website?

Our Stonehouse and Stroud redesign guide covers replacing an older site while thinking about useful pages and existing URLs.

Start with a short note

Tell me what your business does.

A few sentences about your business are enough. If you already have a website, include its URL so I can see what you would like replaced.
