Website design for Exeter businesses, by people based here
Most small business websites in Exeter have the same problem. They look fine and nobody finds them. A website only earns its keep when it turns up for the searches your customers make and gives them a reason to ring you.
That is what we build. We are a website design and SEO agency with an office at Basepoint Business Centre on Marsh Barton, and we work mainly with tradespeople and small firms: roofers, builders, locksmiths, electricians and other local services. You deal with a person you can call, in plain English.
What a good Exeter website has to do
Someone in Heavitree, St Thomas, Pinhoe or Topsham searching for your trade will usually see three things: the map results, a few adverts and a handful of websites. To be one of those websites, your site needs to load quickly on a phone, say clearly what you do and where, and show proof that you are real.
- A page for each service you want work from, not one long list.
- Your part of Exeter named in the titles and headings, written naturally.
- A phone number that can be tapped from every page.
- Photos of your own work, reviews and a local address or phone number.

What you get with every website
A design made for your business
We build every site around your trade and your customers. It is not a template with your logo dropped in.
Built for phones first
Most local searches happen on a phone, so the site is designed for a small screen first and then scaled up.
Words and pictures included
We write the copy with you and source the images, so you are not left staring at empty pages.
SEO from day one
Page titles, headings, page speed and your Google Business Profile are set up before launch, not bolted on afterwards.
Hosting on our own server
Your site sits on a private dedicated server that only carries websites we look after, and we keep it secure and up to date.
Free text and image updates
On our managed hosting, changes to wording and photos are done for you at no extra charge.
Enquiries tracked
Analytics and form tracking are set up at launch, so you can see what the website brings in.
No long contracts
Clients stay because the website works, not because they are tied in.
