NelsonFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost?
Most small business websites start from £399, depending on the number of pages and features needed.
Do you work with trades and local service businesses?
Yes. Nelson For The Work focuses on trades, service businesses and local companies that need more calls, quotes and enquiries.
Can you help my business appear on Google?
Yes. I can help with Google Business Profile setup, local SEO, page structure, keywords and review strategy.
Do you offer website support after launch?
Yes. Monthly care plans are available for updates, backups, fixes, small edits and performance checks.
How long does a website take?
A simple one-page site can often be built quickly once content, photos and business details are ready. Larger websites take longer depending on the scope.
Can you improve my existing website?
Yes. I can audit your current website and recommend quick wins for SEO, design, speed, conversion and local visibility.
Do I need to supply photos and text?
Helpful photos, logos and business details are useful, but I can also help structure the content and write clearer website copy.
How do I get started?
Send your business name, service and town/area through WhatsApp or the contact form, and I’ll recommend the best next step.
Why not just build my own site on Wix or Squarespace?
You can, and for some businesses that’s genuinely fine. Where it tends to fall short for trades and local service businesses is technical SEO control, page speed, and being locked into a template that looks like everyone else’s. A hand-coded site gives more control over exactly those things — the tradeoff is it costs more upfront than a free builder plan. If you’ve already got a Wix or Squarespace site, I can audit it and tell you honestly whether a rebuild is worth it or not.
What does the free audit actually involve?
A review of your current website and Google Business Profile, with a clear list of what to fix first, why it matters, and what’s fine to leave alone. No obligation — if the honest answer is “your site’s fine,” I’ll tell you that.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Sites are hand-built rather than on a drag-and-drop platform, which is what makes them fast and gives them a solid SEO foundation — but it also means day-to-day changes (new photos, updated prices, opening hours) are handled for you through a monthly care plan rather than a self-service editor. If self-editing matters to you, say so upfront and we can talk through whether that changes the right approach.
