For many sole traders, choosing a website designer can be a difficult decision.
There are countless options available, from online website builders and DIY platforms through to freelancers and large digital agencies. With so much choice, how do you know which option is right for your business?
For businesses across Matlock, the Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District, Andrew Burdett Design has been providing professional website design services since 1999, helping sole traders establish a strong online presence and attract new customers.
Understanding the Needs of Sole Traders
Running a business on your own means wearing many hats.
One day you’re serving customers, the next you’re handling paperwork, marketing your services or managing enquiries. The last thing most sole traders need is a complicated website that becomes another job to manage.
That’s why we focus on creating websites that are simple to use, easy to update and designed to generate enquiries.
Whether you’re a builder, plumber, electrician, decorator, consultant, accountant, holiday cottage owner, therapist or retailer, your website should work hard for your business while you focus on what you do best.
More Than 25 Years of Experience
Since 1999, Andrew Burdett Design has worked with businesses throughout Derbyshire and beyond, building websites that combine attractive design, practical functionality and strong search engine performance.
That experience means we’ve seen web design trends come and go, but one thing has remained constant – businesses need websites that build trust and encourage customers to get in touch.
A well-designed website is often the first impression a potential customer has of your business. Getting that first impression right can make all the difference.
Local Knowledge Makes a Difference
Being based in the Derbyshire Dales means we understand the local business community and the challenges many small businesses face.
We’ve worked with clients throughout the local towns and villages including:
- Matlock
- Darley Dale
- Bakewell
- Wirksworth
- Ashbourne
- Belper
- Chesterfield
- The Peak District
We understand the importance of attracting local customers while also ensuring your website appeals to visitors and customers from further afield.
Bespoke Websites Designed Around Your Business
Every business is different.
That’s why we don’t rely on generic, off-the-shelf templates that can make websites look identical.
Instead, every website is designed around your business, your customers and your objectives.
The result is a website that reflects your brand, highlights your services and helps you stand out from competitors.
Mobile-Friendly and Search Engine Ready
Today, most website visitors arrive via a mobile phone.
If your website doesn’t work properly on smaller screens, potential customers may leave before they’ve even read about your services.
Every website we create is designed to work seamlessly across desktop computers, tablets and smartphones while following modern search engine optimisation (SEO) best practices.
This helps ensure your business can be found by customers searching online for the products and services you provide.
Personal Service Without the Corporate Approach
Many sole traders prefer dealing directly with the person responsible for creating their website.
At Andrew Burdett Design, you’ll work with an experienced designer who takes the time to understand your business and your goals.
There are no call centres, complicated support systems or unnecessary layers of management.
Just straightforward advice, clear communication and practical solutions.
Competitive Pricing for Small Businesses
One common misconception is that an established design company must be more expensive than a freelancer.
In reality, our pricing is highly competitive while providing the reassurance of over two decades of experience, ongoing support and a proven track record.
Many clients are surprised to discover that professional, bespoke website design can be far more affordable than they expected.
Long-Term Support You Can Depend On
A website launch is only the beginning.
As your business grows, your website needs to evolve too.
Many of our clients have worked with us for years because they know they can rely on us for updates, advice, additional features and ongoing support whenever they need it.
That continuity provides peace of mind and helps ensure your website remains an asset to your business for years to come.
