Starter Site
Trades, cafés and local services
Up to 5 pages designed around your brand, a contact form that emails you, works well on phones, set up for Google, and two rounds of changes before launch.
Tell me what you need. I’ll work out the best way to build it.
I build websites, booking systems, online shops and custom software for small businesses, and help you market them. I’ll help you work out what you actually need, build it and make sure everything works properly.
Examples
These are working examples of the kind of things I build. Click around. The businesses and data are made up, but everything here could be built for yours.
A barber shop where customers pick a service, a barber and a time, then book.
Demonstration only. Businesses, people, prices and data are fictional.
Services
A clear, fast website that explains what you do and makes it easy for people to get in touch. Built on the platform that suits you, so you can update it yourself and be found on Google.
Let customers book online at any time. You get the bookings in one place, and they get confirmations and reminders automatically.
Sell your products online with a checkout that takes card payments, emails orders to you and keeps track of stock.
A private area where your customers log in to see their orders, documents or appointments, instead of chasing you by email.
An assistant on your website that answers common questions using your own information, and hands anything it doesn’t know over to you.
If you’re copying the same information between your calendar, accounts and email, I can make them talk to each other.
Something specific to how your business works that doesn’t exist off the shelf. We work out what it needs to do, then I build it.
Not sure what you need, or whether what you have is working? I’ll review your website, shop or systems, tell you plainly what to fix, keep or drop, and give you a written plan you can use with me or anyone else.
New Shopify stores, plus changes to the ones you already have: theme updates and customisation, new sections and product page layouts, discount, delivery and checkout rules, app set-up and custom apps, and moving to Shopify from another platform.
Something broken, slow or out of date? I fix bugs, speed up slow pages, update plugins and themes, improve search visibility and keep sites backed up and monitored, whoever built them.
Getting the word out once you’re live. I plan and run social media campaigns, set up your Google Business Profile and help the right local customers find you.
How I work
Usually within a week
A free 20-minute call. Tell me about your business and what’s getting in the way. No jargon, no hard sell.
A few days
I recommend what to build and what to leave out, and give you a fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Typically 2–4 weeks
You see it take shape and tell me what to change. I check every part myself before it goes anywhere near your customers.
Launch day, then ongoing
I test bookings, payments and emails, launch it and show you how it works. Then I’m around if you need me.
Pricing
Every project gets a fixed price in writing before I start. These are starting points. You can also spread any build over three payments.
Trades, cafés and local services
Up to 5 pages designed around your brand, a contact form that emails you, works well on phones, set up for Google, and two rounds of changes before launch.
Barbers, salons, garages and clinics
Everything in Starter, plus online booking for your services and staff, confirmation and reminder emails, and a simple calendar for you to manage bookings.
Clothing, gifts and product businesses
Everything in Starter, plus product pages, card payments through a secure payment provider, order emails and basic stock tracking. I’ll add up to 50 products for you.
Accountants, multi-site businesses and new ideas
Customer logins, dashboards or software built around how you work. Starts with a Digital Blueprint so the price is right.
Contact
Tell me a bit about it. I’ll have a look and let you know what I think, what I’d recommend and roughly what it would cost.
I reply to every message myself, usually within two working days. Prefer email? Write to hello@zdmedia.co.uk.
