Damson Web
Web design

Fast websites for local businesses, built from scratch.

I design and build custom-coded websites for small local businesses: builders, trades, independent shops and the like. They appear in about a second on a phone, look sharp on every screen and help local customers find you. Damson Web is a one-man business, so you deal with me from start to finish.

What's included

Everything a local business site needs. Nothing it doesn't.

  • Built for speed

    Clean, lightweight code with no page builder underneath. Pages appear in about a second, even on a slow 4G connection, so visitors stick around.

  • Designed for phones first

    Most of your customers will find you on their phone, so that's where I start. Then I make sure it looks just as good on a big screen.

  • Local SEO as standard

    Proper page titles, local business markup and a page for each service, so Google knows what you do and where you do it.

  • Help with your copy

    I help you write clear words in your own voice that answer the questions your customers actually ask.

  • Enquiry forms that work

    Simple forms that send enquiries straight to your inbox, so a new customer never slips through the cracks.

  • Hosting from £10 a month

    Optional fast UK hosting with SSL, email and daily backups. For £25 a month, Hosting and care adds small text changes and a monthly speed check.

Common questions

Do I need WordPress?
No. I build your site from scratch in clean code, so there's no WordPress, no theme and no plugins to keep updating. That's a big part of why my sites load so fast and why so little can go wrong.
How long does a website take?
Most sites go live three to four weeks after the first call. Bigger sites with lots of pages or a booking system can take a little longer, and I'll give you a timeline with your quote.
Can I update the site myself?
Most clients just send me their changes. Small text changes are included in the Hosting and care plan, and I usually make them within one working day. If there's something you need to change often, like a price list, tell me when I quote and I'll find the simplest way for you to do it yourself.
