Based in Manchester, working with businesses across the UK
I design and build websites around how your customers search and buy, with SEO planned in from the first page, so more of the right people find you and more of them get in touch. You deal with me throughout, from the first audit to launch day and beyond.
Hi, I’m KarlYou’ll deal with me, start to finish: from the first call to launch day.Selected work
A concept for a bakery with 18 shops, showing how I’d plan a larger website, then live websites for a dog groomer, a family-run kennels and a groundworks firm, each built around what their customers search for.
Concept design · Bakery
A concept I designed to show how I’d plan a larger website: a family bakery with 18 shops, built around ordering online and collecting from a local shop. A homepage, category and product pages, a click and collect basket, a page for every shop and a wholesale section.
Dog grooming · Gorton, Manchester
The website for a dog grooming salon in the grounds of Springbank Farm: treatments and prices, a gallery, booking, and a page for each of the 20 areas its customers come from. I made its Facebook posts too.
Kennels & cattery · Gorton, Manchester
A family-run boarding kennels and cattery, established over 50 years: pages for the kennels, the cattery and grooming, prices, a gallery and a page for each of the 20 areas it covers.
Groundworks · Greater Manchester
A redesign for a family-run groundworks firm: one section for homeowners and one for the trade, nine services in each, a page for each of the 42 towns it covers, and quotes and calls a tap away on a phone.

How I work
Many businesses end up with a web designer who doesn’t really do SEO, and an SEO agency that has to ask someone else to change the website. I do both, so search and sales are planned in from the start, and you never explain your business twice.
SEO and redesigns
For the website you have now, or the one I build you.
Already have a website? A new one planned from your current rankings and traffic, with full website migration included.

More about migrationsHow it works
A simple process, so you know where things stand at every step.
Choose a starting point and tick what you need, or just describe it. It takes a few minutes.
We talk through your business, your customers and what the website needs to achieve.
What I’ll build, what it costs and the dates for each stage, in writing. No obligation.
You see the design early, I build it on a private link, and it launches connected to Search Console and Analytics, with Website Care after.
About
I’ve spent more than ten years building and improving websites, much of it in e-commerce.
As an SEO Manager at THG, I worked across LOOKFANTASTIC, Cult Beauty and Myprotein, using crawling tools like Lumar and automation to find and fix the technical problems that hold large websites back.
Now I work for myself, designing and building websites for businesses and looking after them once they’re live. Every one is made by me.
Where I’ve worked
Questions
The things business owners usually ask first. If yours isn’t here, just ask.
Ask me a questionBrochure websites start at £2,495, Business websites at £3,995 and online shops at £5,995, with Website Care from £39 a month once your website is live. The final price depends on what your website needs to do, so after a short call I’ll send a fixed quote, and that’s the price you pay. All prices include any VAT that applies.
That depends on the size of the website and how quickly content and feedback come together. After your kick-off call you get a written plan with the dates for each stage, and I keep you updated as the work moves along. If you have a hard deadline, there’s rush delivery.
Yes. I’ll look at what’s working and what isn’t, keep the content worth keeping, and redirect every old page address to its new home, so visitors and Google follow you to the new site. Website migration is included in every redesign. More about website redesigns
Yes. I build online shops on Shopify, with a design made for your brand, or from scratch with secure Stripe payments when that suits you better. I can also improve an existing shop’s product pages, categories and checkout. More about e-commerce websites
Yes, whether or not I built your website. I start with a technical review of how search engines crawl it, which pages get indexed, how fast it is and how it’s structured, then fix what’s holding it back. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings, but I can make sure your website gives itself the best chance. More about technical SEO
Yes, if you’d like to. Online shops come with their own dashboard for products, prices and orders. For other websites, tick “Edit it yourself” when you ask for a quote, and I’ll build the parts you change often so you can update them without touching the design. If you’d rather not, send me the change: small changes are part of Website Care.
Yes. I host the websites I build on fast, secure servers, with daily backups, security updates and monitoring, and I make changes when you need them. More about Website Care
Of course: that’s how every project starts. Send me a message or ask for a quote, and I’ll reply personally, usually the same working day. There’s no obligation, and I won’t chase you with a sequence of sales emails.
