Website design
We design and build websites for trades, small businesses and accountancy practices: clear on a phone, quick to load, and set up properly behind the scenes. You get a written scope and a fixed quote before anything starts.
What we build
Up to 12 pages: your home page, your services, about you, how to get in touch, and the pages your business needs. Written with you and designed for phones first, with two rounds of changes and 14 days of fixes after it goes live.
A page for one service or one kind of customer, such as CIS subcontractors, landlords or Making Tax Digital, with a clear way to get in touch. Only for work you really do: we won’t write a page claiming a specialism you don’t have.
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 on your own domain: your addresses and aliases, two-step sign-in, and the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that help your emails arrive rather than land in spam. You pay Google or Microsoft directly; we charge for the set-up.
Your categories, services, details, photographs and links set up properly and kept consistent with your website. Nobody can promise where Google will place you, and we don’t.
After your site goes live: hosting, security certificates, monitoring, backups with a tested restore, updates, a check that your forms still deliver, and a set amount of small changes each month. Anything larger is quoted first.
When several of these need doing at once, one quote that covers only what your business needs, never padded to make it bigger.
How it works
Built the way we build our own
HTTPS on every page, with certificates that renew themselves, and the security settings that stop your pages being shown inside someone else’s site.
Every page is checked from a small phone to a wide monitor before it goes live, so nothing is cut off or pushed out of place, as this website is.
Text and buttons checked for contrast against their background, so they can be read in bright light and by people who don’t see colour well.
Your domain’s email records set up and tested, so messages from your website and your inbox are trusted by the people you send them to.
It is always registered to you. If you ever move on, you get the files, the domain settings handed back and the backups, on a date agreed in writing.
You don’t need to use Stoneledger to work with us. If you do, your website and your books are kept entirely apart.
Tell us a little about your business and what you would like, and we’ll arrange a short call. Every project is quoted in writing, for the scope we agree, before anything starts.
