For Bishop’s Stortford’s professionals, independents and airport-belt businesses.

Bishop’s Stortford is 45 miles from my desk in Ely. Close enough for a coffee, far enough that most of the work happens online.

Bishop’s Stortford sits on the Liverpool Street line and the M11, which makes it an unusual mix: a Hertfordshire market town with London commuters, Castle Park and the river, professional services for the daily-into-town crowd, and a steady stream of businesses linked to Stansted Airport ten minutes up the road. Websites here have to work harder than most, because a Stortford business is competing with London search results for the same customer.

I work across the UK remotely and have clients along the M11 corridor. The drive from Ely is about 50 minutes, but most of the work happens over email and video, with the option of coming down for the first conversation, a photography day or the launch.

Three things every site I build has to do.

Three things every site I build has to do, because a website that does not do these is not earning its keep.

  • Designed for the customer, not the boss.

    Most websites are written by the company, for the company. I write yours for the person reading it at 9pm, on a phone, with a problem to solve, and I have been doing that since 2001, so the brief starts with them.

  • Fast before it goes live.

    Hosted on UK servers, built on lean WordPress and made fast before launch rather than patched up six months later, because a slow site loses the customer before they have read a word.

  • Easy to update without me.

    You should not have to email a designer to change the opening hours. Sites are built on a simple WordPress editor with a half-hour training session at handover and a one-page guide for the bits you’ll touch most.

Four steps from first call to launch day.

The same process for every Bishop’s Stortford project, whether it’s a five-page brochure site or a full e-commerce build. You always know what happens next.

  1. Discovery

    We talk about the business, the customer and what the site actually needs to do. You get a clear proposal and a fixed quote before anything starts.

    Week 1

  2. Design

    I design the key pages around your customer, not your org chart. You see real layouts early and we refine them together before the build begins.

    Week 2 to 3

  3. Build

    The site gets built on lean, fast WordPress: responsive, accessible, and optimised for speed and search from day one rather than bolted on later.

    Week 3 to 5

  4. Launch and care

    We launch, I train you on the parts you’ll touch, and I’m still here afterwards. The person who built it replies to your email when you need a change.

    Week 5 to 6

Do you work with businesses in Bishop’s Stortford?
Yes. I work with small businesses across Cambridgeshire and the East, and Bishop’s Stortford is 45 miles from my base in Littleport, Ely, about a 50-minute drive. Most of the work happens over email and video, with in-person meetings for the brief, photography or launch when they help.
How much does a website cost?
Most small business sites land between £1,700 and £6,500 depending on scope. A typical brochure site for a Bishop’s Stortford business starts at £1,700. You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins, and it does not change once we start.
How long does it take?
Four to six weeks from kick-off to launch for a typical site, depending on how quickly content and feedback come back. Bigger e-commerce or bespoke builds take longer. I’ll give you a realistic timeline at the quote stage.
Who actually does the work?
I do. There’s no account manager, no junior, no outsourcing. The person you brief is the person who designs, builds and looks after your site, and the same person who replies when something needs changing. That’s always been the deal.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. Plenty of clients I’ve never met in person, and the work is no worse for it. But Bishop’s Stortford is close enough that I’m happy to come over for the first conversation, a photography day or a launch debrief if you’d rather do it face to face.
Will my site show up on Google?
That’s the point. Every site is built on lean, fast WordPress with the SEO basics done properly from day one: clean structure, sensible page titles, quick load times. For Bishop’s Stortford businesses competing on local search, that foundation does a lot of the heavy lifting.
