WEB DESIGN IN CLACTON-ON-SEA
I'm Justin, a local web designer based in Clacton-on-Sea. I've been building and looking after WordPress websites for small businesses across Tendring since 2003, and when you ring 01255 808182 you get me, not a sales team.
A web designer who actually knows Clacton and Tendring
Most of my clients are small businesses in and around Clacton: tradespeople, shops on the seafront and in the town centre, clinics, cleaning firms, tuition centres, holiday lets and the professional firms that keep the town running. Nearly all of them came to me on a recommendation, which is how I like it.
Plenty of agencies from Surrey, Manchester and further afield have a "web design Clacton" page on their website. None of them know that Holland-on-Sea and Clacton are different places to the people who live here, or that half the town's trade arrives with the summer visitors. I do, because I live and work here.
Being local also means we can meet. I'm happy to come to your premises anywhere in the district, including:
- Clacton-on-Sea, Holland-on-Sea and Jaywick
- Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze
- St Osyth and Brightlingsea
- Harwich, Dovercourt and Manningtree
- Wivenhoe and Colchester (see my web design in Colchester page)
Or book a call and we'll talk it through over the phone first.
What does a website cost?
A straightforward brochure site for a local business usually starts in the low thousands, and I'll always give you a fixed price before any work starts. If your budget is tighter, tell me and I'll suggest where to start.
How long does it take? Four to eight weeks is typical, and the biggest factor is how quickly we get the words and photos together.
Will I be able to update it myself? Yes. Changing text, photos and prices is something you can do in a few minutes, and I'll show you how.
Do you only work with businesses in Clacton? No. Most of my clients are in Tendring and Colchester, but I work with businesses across Essex and further afield too.
It all starts with a friendly chat. Let's get that scheduled.
OUR WEB DESIGN PROJECTS
NEW WORDPRESS WEBSITES
A site built around what your customers actually search for, that loads quickly on a phone and that you can update yourself.
I build in WordPress because it's the platform I know inside out after twenty years, and because it doesn't lock you into anyone, including me.
REDESIGNS
If your current site looks dated, isn't bringing in enquiries or was built by someone who has since vanished, I can rebuild it properly.
I'll make sure the Google rankings you already have come with it, rather than starting again from nothing.
LOCAL SEO AND GOOGLE ADS
Getting you into Google's map results and top of the page for searches like "electrician Clacton" or "dentist Frinton". This is where most of my clients see the quickest return.
For businesses that want enquiries now rather than in six months, I also run small, tightly targeted Google Ads campaigns aimed only at the area you serve.
HOSTING, MAINTENANCE AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER LAUNCH
We start with a conversation about your business and what you want the website to do. I'll then send you a fixed-price proposal so there are no surprises.
Once you've approved the design, I build the site, write or tidy up the words with you, set up the technical side (Search Console, Analytics and your Google Business Profile) and train you on how to make changes.
After launch, most clients keep me on for hosting and maintenance, with updates, backups and security handled every week so there's always someone to call.
Call me on 01255 808182 or send a message and I'll tell you honestly what I think your business needs.
