Manchester, Greater Manchester · web design and website help · from £500
A local-looking website for Manchester, built by one developer who answers by email. New sites from £500, or help with the Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site you already have. People in Manchester look you up between meetings, on the bus, or standing outside a competitor; the page has to answer in one screen.
Manchester sits in Greater Manchester, near Salford and Bolton. The people searching it are people who compare two businesses on a phone before they walk across the centre. A city search is crowded, so the page that answers first wins the visit.
A Manchester site has a short job: say what you do, where you are, what it costs and how to book or get in touch. If that only lives on a social app, it disappears when the app is closed and it never appears when someone types "Manchester" into Google.
I build the public site and a private page so you can change photos, prices and hours yourself. If you already have a site on Squarespace, Wix, Shopify or WordPress, I can fix it or look after it monthly instead. Send a brief and I usually reply within 48 hours with a free homepage mock-up and a fixed written quote. Nothing is payable until you accept it.
These are the details people check between meetings, on the bus, or standing outside a competitor, before they choose you over the next result.
Call, book or send a message from the first screen. In Manchester, most visits start on a phone, not a laptop.
Weekdays, weekends and early closing. Someone coming from Salford should not guess from an old post.
Put the figures you actually charge where they can be read without downloading a file. That is what people in Manchester compare before they commit.
Google reads words, not intentions. The page says Manchester and Greater Manchester where it matters, so a search for the town has a reason to show you.
Shop front, work, food or products. You update them yourself so the page stays honest as the year changes in Manchester.
This page opens Manchester on Google Maps. Link the Google Business Profile you already have so reviews stay live next to the hours and prices on the site.
Already have a website? You do not need a rebuild to get help with it. I work on sites I did not build, through a collaborator invite, so the account stays yours.
Fix the layout that broke on mobile, update prices and hours, sort the contact form, or tidy the SEO settings. One agreed fault is a £50 fix; ongoing edits sit in monthly care.
Slow pages, images that never load, a booking button that goes nowhere. I check the public site first and tell you what is actually wrong before you pay for anything.
Theme updates that moved things, plugins that stopped working, products with the wrong price. I keep the fix small and documented so your Manchester site stays yours.
From £30 a month: a check of the homepage and the contact journey, the content edits you agree, and a short summary. Rolling monthly, cancel any time.

People search Manchester on Google Maps before they travel. This page opens Manchester, Greater Manchester there, then covers the moment they want hours or a way to get in touch.
Manchester is a Greater Manchester city with its own searches, its own high street and its own competition. A page built for Manchester should read like it belongs there, not like "we cover the UK" with the town name swapped in.
I am based in Surrey and work with Manchester businesses by email and video call. You do not need a meeting in Manchester. The mock-up shows a homepage aimed at people who compare two businesses on a phone before they walk across the centre, and the county page for Greater Manchester links back here.
If you mainly need a homepage with hours, a way to enquire and a short explanation of what you do in Manchester, Launch from £500 is usually the starting point. Extra public pages sit in a higher band. The written quote says which band, and which admin tools are in.
Launch from £500
A public website you can update yourself.
Scale
More pages, plus more of the private admin you choose after we talk.
Connect
A wider admin set when the day-to-day needs more than one extra tool.
Operate
Another step up when several parts of the business need to live in one login.
Automate
The fullest website band when you want more of the admin working together.
You choose the pages and the private admin after we talk. Nothing is payable until you accept the quote.

Already have a website? I can look after it from £30 a month: monthly website care in Manchester.
I am based in Surrey and work with Manchester businesses remotely, which is how most small-business web design works now. You get one developer, replies by email usually within 48 hours, and a site written for Manchester rather than a template with the town name dropped in.
Yes. Send the address and what is wrong. One agreed fault is a £50 fix; if you want it kept accurate month to month, monthly care starts at £30. You keep the account and invite me as a collaborator.
It opens Manchester, Greater Manchester on Google Maps, so the place people search and the website sit together. Your own Google Business Profile stays yours; this link is the town, not a pin invented for a business.
New sites start from £500 for a Launch homepage with a fixed written quote. You see a free homepage mock-up first, usually within 48 hours, and nothing is payable until you accept the quote.
Send your business name and what you do in Manchester. I usually reply within 48 hours with a free mock-up and a fixed written quote.
