Web designer in Croydon for local businesses and trades
Croydon is one of the busiest town centres in South London, and one of the most competitive places to run a local business. Between the high street, the retail parks, the office blocks around the town centre and the streets of independent traders spread across South Croydon, Thornton Heath, Addiscombe and beyond, there is a lot of custom on offer, and a lot of businesses chasing it. A professional website is how you get noticed and get trusted.
I’m John Hitchens, a freelance web designer. I build WordPress sites for Croydon businesses that want to look established online without paying agency prices.
Why a good website matters in a town like Croydon
Croydon has a strong local-service economy. Trades are busy, independent shops and food places line the high street and the side roads, and there is steady demand for plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners and other home-service firms across the borough. The problem is that customers here have plenty of choice, so they judge quickly. When someone searches for a service in Croydon, they usually pick from the first handful of businesses that look professional and are easy to contact.
If your website is dated, awkward on a phone, or you simply do not have one, you are handing that work to the competitor who does. A clear, credible site levels the field and gives people a reason to choose you.
What you get for £400
The price is fixed at £400 for the build. You get a WordPress website that is responsive on mobile, has a small set of well-organised pages, includes basic on-page SEO so Google can connect your business to Croydon and the surrounding areas, and comes with a contact form that sends enquiries straight to you.
It is built to do the important jobs well: explain what you do, show that you are the real thing, and make it simple for a local customer to get in touch.
How it works
Builds are quick, usually two to three days. We have a short chat about your Croydon business and the customers you want to reach, you pass over your logo, photos and any wording you have, and I build the site. You review it, I make the tweaks, and it goes live. You deal with me directly the whole way, so questions get answered fast and nothing gets stuck in a queue.
I build across the wider area too, so if you are just outside the town you can read more about web design in South London.
