WOOTTON & SOUTH BEDFORD
WEB DESIGN
IN WOOTTON.
We build websites for trades and local businesses in Wootton
and the villages around it, by hand, one at a time. We're in Bedford, which is ten minutes
away, so this is a village we know rather than a postcode on a map. Nothing to pay up front,
£49 a month once it's live, and the site is yours after a year.
WHY BOTHER
TOO CLOSE TO BEDFORD
IS ITS OWN PROBLEM.
Most Wootton businesses put Bedford on everything, because
Bedford is where the customers are. It's a fair instinct and it quietly costs you. You end up
competing in the most crowded results in the county and ignoring the ones you'd win.
01
THE CROWDED FIGHT
Search any trade plus Bedford and you'll find dozens of firms, some of
them with hundreds of reviews and a decade of history. A new site does not walk into that.
Our own site sits around position 80 for Bedford terms, and we build the things.
02
THE QUIET ONE
Add the village name and the field empties out. Far fewer people search
it, but the ones who do are half a mile away and ready to call. Those searches are cheap to
win because almost nobody has bothered to write the page that answers them.
03
BOTH, PROPERLY
You don't have to choose. A site can name Wootton, Stewartby, Wilstead
and the rest plainly and still say Bedford, so long as it's built to do both rather than
repeating one town in the hope that volume works.
WHAT IT COSTS
STRAIGHT PRICES.
NO DEPOSIT.
You get a fixed number before we start and it doesn't move.
There's nothing to pay until the site is built and you've seen it.
01
KEPT ALIVE
£49 a monthnothing up front
Less than one call-out. We build the site, you pay from the month it goes
live, and we stay on to change it as the work changes. Hosting, domain and updates all in.
Stop whenever you like and there's nothing more to pay.
02
HANDED OVER
from £500once, no monthly fee
Same site, paid for once. We build it, we hand it over, and that's the
end of the bill. Optional upkeep afterwards if you want it, nothing bundled in behind your back.
03
BUILT BESPOKE
priced per jobthe big builds
Bigger sites, more pages, online booking. Tell us what you need and
we'll price it honestly rather than guessing at a number to win the job.
Wondering how it's this much less than the agency down the road?
No account managers, no offices, no reselling somebody else's template with your logo dropped
in the corner. Every site is written by hand by the person you spoke to on the phone, and
you're paying for the build rather than the overhead behind it.

Sites built for firms across the county. Some are live client
work, some were built unprompted to show what we'd do. Both are labelled so you know which is

AREAS COVERED
WOOTTON AND AROUND.
Wootton sits between Bedford and the Marston Vale, and we work right across it: Stewartby,
Kempston Hardwick, Marston Moretaine, Lidlington, Cranfield, Wilstead, Houghton Conquest,
Elstow, Kempston, Biddenham and Bromham. Further south we also cover
Ampthill and Flitwick,
and north of the river it's all Bedford.
We're in Bedford, about ten minutes up the road, and we come out for the first conversation
rather than doing the whole thing by email. Seeing the yard, the van and the actual work tells
us more than any questionnaire would.
QUESTIONS
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
- Should my site say Wootton or Bedford? Both, in different places. The
village names belong where you list what you cover and on the page about your area. Bedford
belongs in the main description. What doesn't work is repeating one town twenty times, which
search engines have ignored for about fifteen years.
- Won't targeting a village just get me fewer customers? Fewer searches,
more of them yours. Being on page one for something small beats page eight for something
big, and the village searches tend to come from people who want someone nearby today.
- How long until it shows up in search? Weeks for the site to be indexed,
months before position settles. Anyone who gives you a date is guessing. What we can do is
build it so it has a fair chance and set the Business Profile up pointing at the right pages.
- How much does it cost? Either £49 a month with nothing up front, or
£500 once for a site built and handed over. Bigger one-off builds land between £500 and
£1,500. The number comes in writing before any work starts.
- Do I have to pay a deposit? No. We build it first. You pay once it's
done and you're happy with it, which puts the risk on us rather than you.
- Do I actually own the site? Yes, outright. The domain stays in your
name, and if you ever want to move it elsewhere you can take the files and go. No part of it
is rented back to you.
