Who Builds Websites for Small Businesses in Guildford?

Who builds them

Dean Keating builds websites for small businesses and trades in Guildford. He is the publisher of Guildford.co, so this page describes our own service, and he is not ranked against anyone on this site.

Other web designers who work in Guildford are ranked on their Google reviews in a separate guide. Read both before you choose. See the £500 website build.

What you get for £500

• One payment of £500. No contract and no monthly fee.
• You own the site outright.
• 200+ pages, built around your services and the areas you cover.
• 12 months of SEO included.
• A preview to check before the site goes live.

That is the whole offer. Anything it does not mention, such as the arrangements for your domain name and hosting, is a question to ask before you pay. Ask the same of every designer you speak to.

He is not a Guildford firm

Dean Keating is based in Horndean, Hampshire, on the A3 south of Guildford. He has no office in Guildford. The site is built remotely, and you deal with him by phone, WhatsApp and email.

If you want to sit across a table from your designer in the town centre, a Guildford-based firm will suit you better, and the ranked guide is where to find one.

Three routes for a Guildford business

A local designer or agency. You can meet them and they know the town. Prices and terms vary from firm to firm, so get them in writing.

A fixed-price build done remotely. This is what the £500 build is. You know the price before you start. You will not meet in person.

A website builder you run yourself. You pay a subscription and make the site. It costs you time more than money, and suits a business that needs one simple page.

None of these is right for everyone. A shop on the High Street, a plumber covering Burpham and Merrow, and an accountant with a handful of long-standing clients need different things.

What to ask whoever you hire

Will I own the site and the domain name? Is there a minimum term? What do I pay after it goes live? How many pages do I get, and are they written for my services and my area? Do I see it before it is published? Who makes changes later?

A designer who answers those plainly is worth talking to. One who will not is telling you something too.

Which guide to read next

• Not sure you need a site at all: do I need a website?
• Comparing quotes: how much a website costs in Guildford
• Any trade: website design for tradesmen in Guildford
• By trade: electricians, plumbers and builders

Who the service suits

A site with a page for each service in each place suits a business that serves customers across an area. Trades are the obvious case. Customers search for a service and a place together, and those pages are how one firm is found from Stoughton to Shalford.

If you need something particular, such as an online shop or a booking system, say so on the first call and ask whether the build covers it.
