Web design in Bristol, done properly.
Custom websites for Bristol businesses from £499, with local SEO and monthly care plans that keep you visible long after launch day. One designer, start to finish, without the agency mark-up.
Bristol customers search locally.
Bristol is a city of independents. The businesses that do well here (the barbers on Gloucester Road, the studios in Stokes Croft, the trades working across Bedminster and Bishopston) tend to grow on reputation and word of mouth. But word of mouth now runs through Google. Someone hears your name, searches it, and decides in about four seconds whether you look like a going concern.
That's the job your website is really doing. Not winning design awards, just making sure that when a Bristol customer looks you up, they find something fast, current and obviously run by someone who cares.
The other half is being found in the first place. Ranking for "web design Bristol" or "electrician Bristol" isn't about stuffing the word Bristol into your homepage. It's your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your business details matching across the web, and pages that answer what people actually type. That's the work I do on the Growth and Partner plans.
Four things, done well.
I'd rather do a handful of things properly than claim to do everything. Here's what Bristol clients come to me for.
Website design & build
Custom sites for Bristol businesses, with no templates and no page builders. Built to load fast on a phone halfway up Park Street, and designed around turning visitors into enquiries rather than just looking nice.
Local SEO
Getting you into the map results when someone in Bristol searches for what you do. Google Business Profile, consistent listings, location pages, and the on-page work that actually shifts local rankings.
Hosting & care plans
Hosting is £20 a month on every site I build. Care plans start at £49 and add security, backups, updates and monthly SEO, so your site doesn't quietly fall apart eighteen months after launch.
Branding & graphics
Logos, flyers, menus, social posts and signage artwork. The everyday design jobs that decide whether a passer-by thinks you look established or improvised.
Across Bristol & North Somerset.
I work with businesses right across the city and the surrounding towns. If you're near any of these, I can come to you.

Not on the list? It almost certainly doesn't matter, since most of the work happens over email and video calls anyway. I also work with businesses over the bridge in Cardiff and South Wales, and there's a separate page for Portishead and North Somerset, where I'm based and also do computer repairs and tech support.
Clear prices, no surprises.
Take a care plan and the build costs £300 less. Prefer to own it outright with nothing ongoing beyond hosting? That's fine too.
A custom 3 to 5 page site for a Bristol small business. Mobile-first, fast, with your contact details and location set up properly for local search from day one.
Hosting is £20 a month on every website I build, covering UK server space, your SSL certificate and your domain renewal. It's already inside each care plan price, so you only pay it separately if you've bought your site outright.
Things Bristol clients ask.
How much does a website cost for a Bristol business?
Most small Bristol businesses land between £499 and £1,900, depending on size and whether you take a care plan. My Essentials build is £499 with a plan, or £799 outright. Hosting is £20 a month either way. There's a full breakdown of Bristol website pricing on the blog.
Are you actually based in Bristol?
Portishead, about twenty minutes down the M5, and I'm in Bristol regularly. It means I can meet you in person easily, and my overheads aren't being passed on to you in the quote.
How long will it take to rank in Bristol search results?
Bristol is competitive for most trades, so expect movement in 2 to 3 months and real results around the 6 month mark. Google Business Profile work often shows up faster. Anyone promising you page one in a fortnight is guessing.
Can you take over a website another Bristol agency built?
Usually. I'll audit it first and tell you honestly whether it's worth keeping. Sometimes the answer is that your site is perfectly fine and what you need is SEO and maintenance, not a rebuild.

Or a call, if that's easier. Twenty minutes, no pitch. Tell me what you're trying to do and I'll tell you honestly what I think it needs.
