Why So Many Liverpool Businesses Are Let Down by Their Website

Liverpool has more independent businesses per square mile than almost anywhere in the North West, and a lot of them are working harder than their websites are. These are the four problems I hear about most when someone rings me from the city.

You Are Nowhere on Google for Your Own Trade

Search “plumber Liverpool” or “accountant L18” and you get pages of results, directories and a map with three names on it. If your website was never built with those searches in mind, it is not in the running, no matter how good the work is.

The Agency Quote Made Your Eyes Water

City centre agencies quote three, four, five thousand pounds for a website with five pages on it. You are paying for the Baltic Triangle office, the account manager and the pitch deck. None of that ends up on your website.

Your Website Falls Apart on a Phone

Most people looking for a local business in Liverpool are on their phone, often standing outside somewhere or sitting on the 86 bus. A slow, cramped website with a phone number they cannot tap loses the job before you knew it existed.

You Cannot Change a Word of It Yourself

A new price, a new service, a new opening time, and you are emailing someone who built it three years ago and hoping they still reply. A website you cannot update is a website that slowly goes out of date.

Website Design for Liverpool Businesses

The Kinds of Websites I Build in Liverpool

Every website is a small business website built on WordPress, but a plumber in Anfield and a therapist in Allerton need very different pages. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Trades and Home Services

Electricians, plumbers, roofers, decorators and gas engineers. A page for each main service, a tap-to-call number on every screen, and the L postcodes you cover made clear to Google.

Salons, Clinics and Studios

Hair, beauty, aesthetics, physio, dental and fitness. A price list people can actually read on a phone, an online booking link that works, and photos that show the place off.

Cafés, Bars and Hospitality

Independent cafés, bars, restaurants and takeaways from Bold Street to Lark Lane. A menu, opening hours, a map and a booking or ordering link, kept simple enough to update on a Tuesday afternoon.

Professional Services

Accountants, solicitors, financial advisers, consultants and counsellors. A website that looks credible, explains what you do without jargon, and gives people an easy way to book a first conversation.

Small Online Shops

Makers, independent retailers and food producers who want to sell online without a Shopify subscription. WooCommerce on WordPress, set up so you can add products and take payments yourself.

Website Redesigns

Already have a website that looks tired or has stopped working on phones? I redesign existing websites for the same price as a new one, and I keep the Google rankings you already have.

Freelance Web Designer, Liverpool

One Web Designer, Not a Liverpool Agency

Liverpool has plenty of good web design agencies. It also has plenty of small businesses who do not need one, and who end up paying agency prices for a website a single experienced designer could build better and faster.

I have been building websites and doing SEO for more than 15 years, first in agencies and now on my own. That matters for one reason: I have seen what the overheads pay for, and it is rarely your website. When you work with me there is no salesperson, no account manager and no junior doing the build. The person you speak to on the first call is the person who designs the pages, writes the code, sets up Google and answers the phone two years later when you want something changed.

It also means I say no to things. If a five-page website is what your business needs, I will not sell you fifteen. If your existing website is fine and needs a tidy rather than a rebuild, I will say that too.

More about me and how I work

What Freelance Actually Means Here

Freelance does not mean cheap and cheerful, and it does not mean disappearing after launch. It means a fixed price, one point of contact, and someone who is still here next year.

  • A fixed price agreed before any work starts
  • The same person from first chat to final tweak
  • Built by an SEO, not handed to one afterwards
  • Meet in Liverpool or Wallasey, or do it all on WhatsApp
  • Hosting and updates looked after on a monthly Care Plan

What’s Included

Everything in a £695 Liverpool Website Design

The price covers the whole job, from planning the pages to the day it goes live. Nothing is bolted on afterwards and nothing hides in the small print.

Five Pages Built Around Your Business

Usually a home page, an about page, one or two service pages and a contact page, planned around what your Liverpool customers search for rather than a template I reuse.

WordPress You Can Edit Yourself

A visual editor, a short walkthrough on a video call, and you can change prices, photos and opening hours without ringing anyone. I am a WordPress web designer by trade, so it is set up properly.

A Premium Theme, Licensed for Life

Your website runs on a premium theme with a lifetime licence included in the price. No annual theme renewal landing in your inbox every spring.

Google Business Profile Sorted

Your profile set up or tidied, categories chosen properly, and linked to the website, so you have a real shot at the map results when someone searches your trade plus Liverpool.

Local SEO Built In From the Start

Page titles, headings, speed, image sizes and your business details marked up for Google, done while the website is being built rather than patched on afterwards by someone else.

Launch Handled End to End

Domain, email, security certificate, redirects from any old website, Google Search Console and a test on real phones before it goes live. You do not need to know what any of that means.

Areas I Cover

Web Design Across Liverpool and the City Region

I am in Wallasey, which puts me ten minutes from the city centre through the Kingsway tunnel and closer to most of Liverpool than a lot of Liverpool agencies are.

Most of my Liverpool clients are on the phone or WhatsApp, and that suits nearly everyone. If you would rather sit down and talk it through, I am happy to meet you at your premises or over a coffee in town, whether that is the Baltic Triangle, the business district around Castle Street, or a café on Allerton Road.

I build websites for businesses right across the city, from the centre out to the suburbs, and into Sefton and Knowsley. If you are further afield, see web design services for the areas I work in.

Liverpool Areas I Build Websites For

  • Liverpool City Centre and the Baltic Triangle
  • Allerton, Woolton and Mossley Hill
  • Aigburth, Lark Lane and Sefton Park
  • Wavertree, Childwall and Old Swan
  • West Derby, Norris Green and Croxteth
  • Anfield, Everton and Walton
  • Speke, Garston and Hunts Cross
  • Crosby, Bootle and Litherland
  • Maghull, Aintree and Formby
  • Huyton, Prescot and Knowsley
  • Kirkby and Fazakerley

Getting Found in Liverpool

Built for the Searches Liverpool Customers Actually Make

I have spent years in SEO looking at what people in this city type into Google. Nearly all of it falls into three patterns, and every website I build is structured around them.

  • Your trade plus Liverpool. “Emergency electrician Liverpool”, “wedding photographer Liverpool”. One clear page per service, each one saying what you do and where.
  • Your trade plus a district or postcode. “Dog groomer Crosby”, “accountant L25”. The areas you cover written into the pages, not buried in a footer.
  • “Near me” on a phone. The fastest growing kind of local search. Your Google Business Profile and website telling the same story, with your address marked up so Google knows exactly where you are.

I wrote up how “near me” searches work if you want the detail.

Competing in a Busy Part of the City?

The local SEO groundwork in every website gets you into the running. In crowded markets like trades, dentistry or legal, ongoing SEO is what moves you up the page, and I offer that separately once you are live.

Pricing

Liverpool Web Design Prices, With No Surprises

You will notice most web designers in Liverpool do not put a price on their website. I do, because I would rather you knew before you rang than found out in a proposal.

£695 is the price for a five-page website, and it is the price you pay. There is no deposit that turns into a bigger number, no hourly rate creeping in for “extras”, and no charge for the changes you ask for along the way. If you need more pages, they are £150 each, agreed up front.

If you want to see how that compares with the wider market, I wrote up what a website actually costs in the UK, including what the agencies charge and why.

  • Extra pages £150 each
  • Unlimited changes until you are happy
  • Live in under a week once your words and photos are in
  • Your website, your words and your domain belong to you

Once you are live, hosting, updates and backups are covered by my Care Plan at £35 a month.

Five-Page Website

£695 one-off

  • Five pages designed around your business
  • WordPress with a visual editor you can use
  • Premium theme, lifetime licence included
  • Google Business Profile set up and linked
  • Local SEO groundwork built in
  • Domain, email, security and launch handled

The Process

From a Phone Call to a Live Website in Four Steps

Most Liverpool websites I build go live within a week of the go-ahead. The thing that sets the pace is your words and photos, and I help with both.

A Straight Conversation

Ring, WhatsApp or meet me in Liverpool. Tell me what your business does, who your customers are and where they are. I will tell you what pages you need and what they will cost, on the call.

Pages, Areas and Words

We agree the five pages, the services to lead with and the parts of Liverpool you want work from. I send a short list of what I need from you and help shape the wording if writing is not your thing.

Design on a Private Link

You see the whole website on a private link before anyone else does, on your own phone and laptop. Ask for as many changes as you like until every page is right.

Live, Then Looked After

I connect the domain, sort the email, submit it to Google and show you how to edit it. After that, hosting, updates and backups are covered by the Care Plan if you want them to be.

With me, £695 for a five-page website and £150 for each page after that, wherever you are in Liverpool. Agencies in the city typically charge between £2,000 and £6,000 for something similar, and a lot of freelancers sit somewhere between. The difference is mostly overheads, not the website.

No. Most of my Liverpool clients are out in the suburbs, from Crosby to Woolton to Speke, because that is where most of the trades, salons and small practices are. City centre, suburbs or across into Sefton and Knowsley, it is all the same price and the same service.

Yes. For a small shop I use WooCommerce on WordPress, which means no monthly platform fee and you own everything. It suits makers, independent retailers and food producers with a manageable range. If you are planning hundreds of products, tell me on the first call and I will give you an honest steer on whether that is the right fit.

Yes, and this is the part that goes wrong most often when a website is rebuilt. I keep your existing page addresses where they are working, redirect anything that changes, and check Search Console before and after. A redesign costs the same as a new website.

Because for a five-page website you do not need a team, and you end up paying for one anyway. With me, the person you speak to is the person who builds it, sets up Google and answers the phone afterwards. Agencies are the right choice for large, complex builds. For most small businesses in Liverpool they are the expensive choice.

It will be built to. Every website gets a clear page per service, the areas you cover written into the copy, your business details marked up for Google, and a Google Business Profile that matches. That gets you into the running. Whether you reach the top depends on how competitive your trade is, and for the busier ones I offer ongoing SEO in Liverpool once you are live.

Yes. I am in Wallasey, ten minutes through the tunnel, so I am happy to come to your premises or meet for a coffee in town. Plenty of clients never meet me at all and do everything on WhatsApp and the phone, and that works just as well.

You can look after it yourself, or I can. The Care Plan at £35 a month covers hosting, WordPress and plugin updates, backups, security and an hour of changes each month, so the website stays fast, safe and up to date without you thinking about it.
