Pricing & packages

The Silver package starts at £495 for a complete 5-page website. That’s a fixed price with everything included. There are no add-ons, no bolt-ons, and no invoice surprises at the end.

For larger or bespoke projects, get in touch and I’ll put a tailored quote together quickly.

A complete 5-page website with professionally written copy, mobile-responsive design, on-page SEO, a working contact form and unlimited revisions until you’re happy. It’s a genuinely finished website ready to win customers from day one.

Nothing is held back for a pricier tier. That’s the job done for £495.

No mandatory ongoing fees. Once the site is built and paid for, it’s yours. Hosting can be arranged for £25 per year if you need it, but there’s no monthly retainer, no software licence and no lock-in of any kind.

Silver is the core website package. Silver + Video adds a professionally produced homepage video, scripted and voiced, which works especially well for service businesses that want to make a strong first impression. Gold layers in SEO blog content, social media videos and directory submissions over the first 30 days, which accelerates how quickly Google takes notice.

All three include the same quality of web design. The higher tiers add marketing momentum on top.

Yes. Larger sites, eCommerce stores, booking systems and redesigns are all available under the Custom package. Drop me a message with a rough outline of what you need and I’ll come back to you with a clear price.

The build process

Once I have what I need from you, the 72-hour clock starts. Most of the time that’s a short brief about your business, any existing branding, and your preferred pages. I write the copy, source images, build the pages and have a finished site ready for your review within three working days.

I’ll let you know exactly what to send so there are no hold-ups on your end.

Minimal. A short discovery questionnaire is all I need to get going. From there, I handle the copy, design, images and build. Your main job is to review the finished site and tell me anything you’d like changed.

No logo or photos? Not a problem. I can work around it and guide you on options if needed.

Unlimited revisions are included in every package. Go through the site, tell me what you’d like changed and I’ll update it. We keep going until you’re genuinely satisfied. The site doesn’t go live until you give the green light.

Professional copywriting is included as standard. Based on your brief, I write content that reflects your business properly, appeals to the customers you want to attract, and is structured in a way that helps search rankings.

If you’d rather supply your own copy, that works too.

Technical questions

Yes. Every site is built to be fully responsive from the start. Given that most searches in Hartlepool happen on a phone, mobile-readiness isn’t optional. It’s tested across screen sizes before anything is signed off.

On-page SEO is built into every site as standard. Proper heading structure, optimised titles and meta descriptions, fast page speeds and keyword-relevant copy all lay the right foundations for Google to index and rank your site.

SEO is a long-term process and builds over time. For businesses that want to push local rankings further, an ongoing SEO service is available separately.

Either. If you already have hosting, I’ll deploy directly to your setup. If you’re starting fresh, I can arrange reliable UK hosting for £25 per year. There’s no obligation to use my hosting and no penalty for going your own way.

Yes. Every site is built on WordPress, which has a straightforward editing interface. Updating text, swapping images, adding blog posts or tweaking pages can all be done without technical skills.

If you’d rather hand the upkeep to someone else, ongoing support is available on a flexible basis.

About the business

Web Design Hartlepool is run by Danny, a web designer and digital marketer based in the Teesside area. There are no sub-contractors, no junior designers and no account managers in the way. You deal directly with the person doing the work from the first message to the final sign-off.

There’s no agency. No office rent, no layers of management, no project coordinators passing messages between you and whoever is actually doing the work. Because I work directly, the overhead is low and those savings go straight into your quote.

A straightforward price reflects a straightforward operation, not a cut in quality.

Hartlepool and the wider Teesside area is the focus, but the work is entirely remote so location is no barrier. Businesses from across the UK are welcome. Get in touch and we can have a chat about what you need.

Larger projects

Yes. Larger sites with multiple service pages, location pages, blog setups and more are all available under the Custom package. Tell me what you have in mind and I’ll put a quote together around your specific requirements.

Yes. Online shops are built on WooCommerce, which integrates with WordPress and gives you full control over products, orders and payments once the store is live. It’s a robust platform used by thousands of UK businesses of all sizes.

Send me a message with the details of what you’re looking for and I’ll come back to you with a clear quote.

Other services

Yes. Marketing video production, SEO and social media management are all available alongside web design. They work well together and many clients use more than one service once the website is live and pulling in traffic.

See the Services page for the full breakdown, or get in touch and I can talk you through what would be most useful for your business at this stage.
