How Much Does a Website Cost?

The price of a website will ultimately be determined on the number of total hours we determine it will take to complete the project. We offer much more value added consulting to any client we work with, guiding you along the way to help you achieve your goals quicker. The amount of time needed as well as the number of pages, complexity and resources you will need are all part of a custom quote we will provide you as part of the proposal process.

Do You Provide SEO?

Holmes Design has been providing SEO services for 7 years whether it be link building and outreach or previously as an exclusive in house designed SEO software suite we provided to our customers. SEO is constantly changing and it’s important to stay ahead of the curve. We provide a bespoke content marketing plan for SEO rankings as well as directory listings and citations as part of your overall ranking package. Just ask us for a quote and we will review your website to see what we can offer you.

Do You Offer Maintenance of My Website?

We have WordPress website maintenance plans to suit your business starting from just £45/month. These plans can be to update plugins, core WordPress updates up to adding content and images. Let us know what you need and we can provide a quote.

What Is SSL?

SSL stands for secure socket layer and it’s a way of encrypting data from your website. SSL is important for security, handling data securely and for SEO, both directly as a ranking signal and to avoid web browsers like Chrome to stop telling your visitors you’re dodgy

From day one Stephen was a complete professional and very easy to work with. We had an idea of what we wanted our website to look like and Stephen really helped bring that vision to life. He gave us great ideas that we may not have considered otherwise and made the whole process really seamless and enjoyable. He was very patient with us when it took longer than expected to get the content we needed for the site. He would send us friendly reminders but never pushy. Also didn't leave me high and dry even after the site was done and I found some small tweaks I wanted to make. I would highly recommend Stephen Holmes Website Design for any and all of your website needs! I know I will be using him again in the future!

After recently having our new website designed by Stephen I am very keen to get the word out about not only his abilities to create a fantastic looking site but also his abilities to listen and communicate in a highly professional manner. The reason I first contacted Stephen was as a result of being let down by another company who promised the earth and didn’t deliver. I decided that I needed to start again and find a company or individual who truly cared about creating a new site for my business. Upon first contacting Stephen I was immediately impressed with his level of knowledge and the way he made very informed suggestions in a ‘non pushy’ way (this is very important to me). After explaining to Stephen that we had previously been let down and that I was looking for someone to drive new ideas forward in a creative timely manner he responded in all the right ways. I was keen not to go for a huge agency…I wanted a more personal service from somebody who I could discuss things with as and when it was required. This is exactly what I got from Stephen from the word go. After explaining my brief to Stephen he got to work on designing our new website. As a garden design and build company we were keen to have a site designed that carefully walked potential clients through our design process and gave them the opportunity to view our portfolio in an easy to navigate method. Stephen was fully on board to not only create an aesthetically pleasing site but also to create a very well coded site that would naturally help improve Google rankings. The whole process was so stress free from start to finish which is a rarity indeed. I believe that when somebody actually listens to what you would like to achieve and then uses common sense coupled with an injection of their own creativity it makes the process a very enjoyable one. I am absolutely thrilled with the end result and am looking forward to Stephen applying his SEO skills to improve our rankings even further. This feels like an exciting new chapter for my company and I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen to anybody who is thinking of having a new website created - Thanks again Stephen, your proactive work ethic has never gone unnoticed and I look forward to working with you more in the future. Kindest Regards, Chris Benson The Landscape Design Studio Ltd

Stephen was great. I gave him the brief and he produced exactly what I wanted! He managed to finish my website in two weeks and that was while I was on holiday too! I would definitely reccomend him to anyone looking for professional web design.
