Is your Website letting you down?

Your current website isn't doing your business justice, and you know it. Maybe it's outdated, maybe you built it yourself on a DIY platform, or maybe you don't have one at all, and you're relying entirely on word of mouth. Either way, you're losing potential customers before you've even had a chance to speak to them.

We build professional WordPress websites for small businesses that are ready to grow- without the bespoke agency price tag.

What's Included

We're completely transparent

We're completely transparent about what you get and how we work. Here's exactly what our website design service includes:

  • WordPress Template Design

    We build your website on WordPress - the world's most widely used website platform - using professionally designed templates that we customise to match your brand, your services, and your goals. You get the polish and performance of a professionally built website without the bespoke agency price tag. WordPress also means your website is easy to update, widely supported, and built to grow with your business.

  • Brand & Visual Alignment

    Your website will be built to reflect your brand identity - your colours, your fonts, your tone of voice, and your personality. Whether you have an existing brand we work within or need guidance on visual direction, we make sure your website looks and feels like a true extension of your business.

  • Conversion-Focused Copywriting

    A great-looking website that doesn't communicate clearly won't convert visitors into customers. We structure every page to guide visitors naturally towards taking action- whether that's making an enquiry, booking a call, or picking up the phone. Clear headlines, purposeful layout, and strong calls to action are built in from the start.

  • Mobile Optimisation

    More than half of all web browsing now happens on mobile devices. Every website we build is fully optimised for mobile, tablet, and desktop so your visitors get a seamless experience regardless of how they find you.

  • SEO Foundations

    We build every website with solid SEO foundations in place - clean code structure, optimised page titles and meta descriptions, fast loading speeds, and proper heading hierarchy. This gives your website the best possible platform to rank well on Google from the moment it goes live.

  • Contact Forms & Enquiry Integration

    We set up all the essential tools your website needs to generate business - contact forms, click-to-call buttons, Google Maps integration, and any other enquiry mechanisms relevant to your business.

  • Google Analytics Setup

    We connect your website to Google Analytics so you can track how many people are visiting, where they're coming from, and what they're doing when they get there. Understanding your website data is the foundation of any smart digital marketing decision.

  • Training & Handover

    Once your website is live, we walk you through how to make basic updates yourself- adding news posts, updating contact details, or swapping out images. You'll never feel dependent on us for every small change, though we're always here if you need us.

Why choose SME Marketing for your website

DIY platforms are affordable but limited. Bespoke agencies deliver beautiful results but at a price most small businesses can't justify. We sit deliberately in the middle — using professionally designed WordPress templates, customised to your brand and goals by a team with real development expertise, so you get the polish and performance of a high-end website at a fraction of the cost.

And because we have bespoke developers in-house through Making Websites Better, you're never boxed in. Start with a smart, affordable WordPress site now, and if your business outgrows it, the people who can build you something more advanced are already on your team.

We're proud partners of BNI, YBC, the London Chamber of Commerce and Investor in Customers, and we're deeply embedded in the small business communities across Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norfolk, Suffolk and London. You'll be involved throughout the build, you'll approve everything before it goes live, and you'll never be left wondering where your project is up to.

FAQs

Frequently asked 
 questions

You ask, we answer.

  • How much does a small business website cost?

    We offer transparent, affordable website packages built specifically around small business budgets. Rather than quoting a fixed price before we understand your needs, we prefer to have a free initial consultation so we can recommend the right solution for your business. What we can promise is that our pricing is honest, clearly explained, and built around delivering real value for small businesses - not maximising agency revenue.

  • Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support?

    Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance and support packages for clients who want peace of mind that their website is kept up to date, secure, and running smoothly after launch. We can also discuss combining your website with our digital marketing services - SEO, PPC, social media, and lead generation - to make sure your new website is actively generating business from day one.

  • What if I already have a website - can you redesign it?

    Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with an existing website that needs refreshing rather than replacing entirely. We'll review what you have, discuss what's working and what isn't, and recommend the most cost-effective approach - whether that's a full redesign or targeted improvements to what's already there.

  • Can I update my website myself after it's built?

    Yes. WordPress is designed to be user-friendly and we'll walk you through the basics at handover so you can make simple updates - like adding a blog post, updating your contact details, or swapping out an image - without needing to come back to us every time. For more significant changes or ongoing support, we're always available to help.

  • Will my website show up on Google?

    We build every website with strong SEO foundations in place - including clean code structure, optimised page titles and meta descriptions, fast loading speeds, and proper heading hierarchy. This gives your website the best possible starting point for ranking well on Google. For ongoing SEO work to improve and maintain your rankings over time, we'd recommend combining your new website with our local SEO service.

  • How long does it take to build a website?

    Most of our small business websites are completed within four to six weeks from the point we have everything we need from you - including your logo, brand assets, and any content or imagery you want to include. The biggest factor in the timeline is usually how quickly we can gather the information we need, so the more prepared you are at the start, the faster we can move.

  • Why do you use WordPress templates rather than building bespoke websites?

    WordPress templates allow us to deliver professional, high-quality websites at a price point that works for small businesses - without compromising on design quality or performance. WordPress is the world's most popular website platform, powering over 40% of all websites globally. It's flexible, widely supported, easy to update, and gives your website a solid technical foundation. Using professionally designed templates means we can focus our time on customisation, copy, and conversion rather than building from scratch- which keeps costs down and turnaround times fast without sacrificing the end result.
