Web design in Southampton, from just up the road
Southampton is one of the three places I'm most local to, along with Eastleigh and Winchester. I build websites and sort out Google listings for trades and local businesses across the city, and I'll come and see you in person.

Websites for Southampton trades
One city, lots of searches
People don’t search for “electrician Southampton” and stop there. They search for the bit of the city they live in. If you’re a heating engineer covering Portswood, Highfield and Bassett, you want a page for each, so there’s something that matches when someone in Highfield searches for a boiler engineer.
That’s how every site I build is put together: a page for each service you sell and each place you cover. One fixed price, £450, so you know the cost before I start.
Close to home
I’m based in Bishopstoke, so Southampton is on my doorstep. I’ll meet you wherever suits: your yard, your unit, your kitchen table, or a coffee.
Your Google listing too
When someone nearby searches, your Google Business Profile is often the first thing they see. Every build includes lining it up with your new site: name, phone, services, categories and map. If you haven’t got one, I’ll set it up and get it verified for £150.

06 Questions
Straight answers
Do you cover my area?
Anywhere in Hampshire, mainly Southampton, Eastleigh, Winchester, Fareham, Portsmouth, Romsey, Basingstoke and Andover, and the towns and villages around them. If you're just outside, give me a ring.
Why is my site going to have so many pages?
Google ranks pages, not websites. If you do rewires and EV chargers in Fareham and Whiteley, you want a page for each, so you show up when someone searches for exactly that. One page saying "electrician, Hampshire" won't do it.
How much does a website cost?
£450 for the website, with a page for every service and every town you cover. Add-ons only if you need booking, payments or a shop. Every price is on the pricing page. What I quote is what you pay.
I haven't got a Google Business Profile. Is that a problem?
No. I'll set one up and get it verified for £150. If you've already got one, lining it up with your new site is included free.
